Hebrew Parsing Raw Data

Exodus 20:14

  לֹ֣֖א תִּֿנְאָֽ֑ף׃ ס

  לֹ֣֖א           לא           Neg.+NAN                  not
  תִּֿנְאָֽ֑ף     נאף          Verb.Qal.Impf.2ms         commit adultery

Key observations: - Two-word commandment: לא (negative particle) + תנאף (Qal Imperfect 2ms of נאף) - The verb is נאף (naaph, H5003) -- specifically means "commit adultery" - Qal imperfect 2ms functions as a prohibitive (apodictic law) -- "you shall not" - This is the shortest of all ten commandments

Genesis 2:24

  עַל־כֵּן֙ יַֽעֲזָב־אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־אָבִ֖יו וְאֶת־אִמֹּ֑ו וְדָבַ֣ק בְּאִשְׁתֹּ֔ו וְהָי֖וּ לְבָשָׂ֥ר אֶחָֽד׃

  אֶחָֽד          אחד          Noun.s.Abs                one

Key observations: - עַל־כֵּן (al-ken) = "therefore/for this reason" -- introduces a foundational principle - יַעֲזָב (yaazov) = Qal Impf 3ms of עזב "leave" -- gnomic imperfect (general truth) - דָבַק (davaq) = Qal Perf 3ms of דבק "cling, cleave to" -- strong attachment verb - אִשְׁתּוֹ (ishto) = "his wife" (from אשׁה, woman/wife + 3ms suffix) - לְבָשָׂר אֶחָד (levasar echad) = "to one flesh" -- the "one flesh" construct - Three actions: leave (father/mother) → cleave (to wife) → become one flesh

  תִּֿנְאָֽ֑ף     נאף          Verb.Qal.Impf.2ms         commit adultery

Key observations: - Identical to Exo 20:14 except for the initial waw-conjunction (וְ = "and") - Same verb form: תנאף (Qal Impf 2ms of נאף)
