# syntax

noun

«syntax» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: The commentary notes that the grammar of the Hebrew in Sefer Yetzirah is odd, because a verb stands where a noun would be expected.

### Meaning

The way words are arranged in a sentence to make it correct. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/syntax/#m1)

### Examples

- The word סָפַר safar is technically a finite verb, and not a noun as the syntax requires. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/syntax/#x1)
