The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — fire, another, sons — and what happens in the verse to house, wine, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 42 chapters of Job on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. עַ֚ד זֶ֣ה מְדַבֵּ֔ר וְזֶ֖ה בָּ֣א וַיֹּאמַ֑ר בָּנֶ֨יךָ וּבְנוֹתֶ֤יךָ אֹֽכְלִים֙ וְשֹׁתִ֣ים יַ֔יִן בְּבֵ֖ית אֲחִיהֶ֥ם הַבְּכֽוֹר׃ [While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.18/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JOB:17 # text = עַ֚ד זֶ֣ה מְדַבֵּ֔ר וְזֶ֖ה בָּ֣א וַיֹּאמַ֑ר בָּנֶ֨יךָ וּבְנוֹתֶ֤יךָ אֹֽכְלִים֙ וְשֹׁתִ֣ים יַ֔יִן בְּבֵ֖ית אֲחִיהֶ֥ם הַבְּכֽוֹר׃ # verse = JOB.1.18 1 עַ֚ד עַד ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JOB_1:18!1|MId=o180010180011|Strong=5704 2 זֶ֣ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 3 nsubj _ Gloss=this.[one]|Ref=JOB_1:18!2|MId=o180010180021|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 3 מְדַבֵּ֔ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].speaking|Ref=JOB_1:18!3|MId=o180010180031|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:180010180021;|Type=participle_active 4-5 וְזֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:18!4|MId=o180010180041|Strong=2050b 5 זֶ֖ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 nsubj _ Gloss=this.[one]|Ref=JOB_1:18!4|MId=o180010180042|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 6 בָּ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.came|Ref=JOB_1:18!5|MId=o180010180051|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:180010180042;|Type=qatal 7-8 וַיֹּאמַ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:18!6|MId=o180010180061|Strong=2050b 8 יֹּאמַ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JOB_1:18!6|MId=o180010180062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:180010180042;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 בָּנֶ֨יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בָּנֶ֨י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JOB_1:18!7|MId=o180010180071|Strong=1121 10 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOB_1:18!7|MId=o180010180072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-13 וּבְנוֹתֶ֤יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:18!8|MId=o180010180081|Strong=2050b 12 בְנוֹתֶ֤י בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JOB_1:18!8|MId=o180010180082|Strong=1323 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOB_1:18!8|MId=o180010180083|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 אֹֽכְלִים֙ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 8 ccomp _ Gloss=[were].eating|Ref=JOB_1:18!9|MId=o180010180091|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:180010180071;180010180082;|Type=participle_active 15-16 וְשֹׁתִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:18!10|MId=o180010180101|Strong=2050b 16 שֹׁתִ֣ים שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 14 conj _ Gloss=drinking|Ref=JOB_1:18!10|MId=o180010180102|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:180010180071;180010180082;A1:180010180111;|Type=participle_active 17 יַ֔יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=wine|Ref=JOB_1:18!11|MId=o180010180111|Strong=3196 18-19 בְּבֵ֖ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOB_1:18!12|MId=o180010180121|Strong=0871a 19 בֵ֖ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JOB_1:18!12|MId=o180010180122|Strong=1004 20-21 אֲחִיהֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֲחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.brother|Ref=JOB_1:18!13|MId=o180010180131|Strong=0251 21 הֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JOB_1:18!13|MId=o180010180132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 הַבְּכֽוֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_1:18!14|MId=o180010180141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 בְּכֽוֹר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=JOB_1:18!14|MId=o180010180142|Strong=1060 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JOB_1:18!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מְדַבֵּר *\[was\] speaking* | participle active · piel | זֶה *this \[one\]* | | | | | בָּא *he came* | qatal · qal | זֶה *this \[one\]* | | | | | יֹּאמַר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | זֶה *this \[one\]* | | | | | אֹֽכְלִים *\[were\] eating* | participle active · qal | בָּנֶי *sons* + בְנוֹתֶי *daughters* | | | | | שֹׁתִים *drinking* | participle active · qal | בָּנֶי *sons* + בְנוֹתֶי *daughters* | יַיִן *wine* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
