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 — possessions, man — and what happens in the verse to thousand sheep, 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. וַיְהִ֣י מִ֠קְנֵהוּ שִֽׁבְעַ֨ת אַלְפֵי־צֹ֜אן וּשְׁלֹ֧שֶׁת אַלְפֵ֣י גְמַלִּ֗ים וַחֲמֵ֨שׁ מֵא֤וֹת צֶֽמֶד־בָּקָר֙ וַחֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֣וֹת אֲתוֹנ֔וֹת וַעֲבֻדָּ֖ה רַבָּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וַיְהִי֙ הָאִ֣ישׁ הַה֔וּא גָּד֖וֹל מִכָּל־בְּנֵי־קֶֽדֶם׃ [His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.2/) ## 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:2 # text = וַיְהִ֣י מִ֠קְנֵהוּ שִֽׁבְעַ֨ת אַלְפֵי־צֹ֜אן וּשְׁלֹ֧שֶׁת אַלְפֵ֣י גְמַלִּ֗ים וַחֲמֵ֨שׁ מֵא֤וֹת צֶֽמֶד־בָּקָר֙ וַחֲמֵ֣שׁ מֵא֣וֹת אֲתוֹנ֔וֹת וַעֲבֻדָּ֖ה רַבָּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וַיְהִי֙ הָאִ֣ישׁ הַה֔וּא גָּד֖וֹל מִכָּל־בְּנֵי־קֶֽדֶם׃ # verse = JOB.1.3 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:3!1|MId=o180010030011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JOB_1:3!1|MId=o180010030012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:180010030021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 מִ֠קְנֵהוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִ֠קְנ מִקְנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=livestock|Ref=JOB_1:3!2|MId=o180010030021|Strong=4735 4 ֵהוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_1:3!2|MId=o180010030022|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 5 שִֽׁבְעַ֨ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=JOB_1:3!3|MId=o180010030031|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 6 אַלְפֵי־ אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Plur 5 flat _ Gloss=thousand(s)|Ref=JOB_1:3!4|MId=o180010030041|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 7 צֹ֜אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=JOB_1:3!5|MId=o180010030051|Strong=6629 8-9 וּשְׁלֹ֧שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:3!6|MId=o180010030061|Strong=2050b 9 שְׁלֹ֧שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=JOB_1:3!6|MId=o180010030062|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 10 אַלְפֵ֣י אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Plur 9 flat _ Gloss=thousand(s)|Ref=JOB_1:3!7|MId=o180010030071|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 11 גְמַלִּ֗ים גָּמָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 conj _ Gloss=camels|Ref=JOB_1:3!8|MId=o180010030081|Strong=1581 12-13 וַחֲמֵ֨שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:3!9|MId=o180010030091|Strong=2050b 13 חֲמֵ֨שׁ חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nummod _ Gloss=five|Ref=JOB_1:3!9|MId=o180010030092|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 14 מֵא֤וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 13 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=JOB_1:3!10|MId=o180010030101|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 15 צֶֽמֶד־ צֶמֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=pair[s]|Ref=JOB_1:3!11|MId=o180010030111|Strong=6776|SpaceAfter=No 16 בָּקָר֙ בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.ox[en]|Ref=JOB_1:3!12|MId=o180010030121|Strong=1241 17-18 וַחֲמֵ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:3!13|MId=o180010030131|Strong=2050b 18 חֲמֵ֣שׁ חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 nummod _ Gloss=five|Ref=JOB_1:3!13|MId=o180010030132|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 19 מֵא֣וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 18 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=JOB_1:3!14|MId=o180010030141|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 20 אֲתוֹנ֔וֹת אָתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 conj _ Gloss=female.donkeys|Ref=JOB_1:3!15|MId=o180010030151|Strong=0860 21-22 וַעֲבֻדָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:3!16|MId=o180010030161|Strong=2050b 22 עֲבֻדָּ֖ה עֲבֻדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=service|Ref=JOB_1:3!16|MId=o180010030162|Strong=5657 23 רַבָּ֣ה רַב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 amod _ Gloss=much|Ref=JOB_1:3!17|MId=o180010030171|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 24 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=JOB_1:3!18|MId=o180010030181|Strong=3966 25-26 וַיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:3!19|MId=o180010030191|Strong=2050b 26 יְהִי֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 31 cop _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=JOB_1:3!19|MId=o180010030192|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:180010030202;|Type=wayyiqtol 27-28 הָאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_1:3!20|MId=o180010030201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=JOB_1:3!20|MId=o180010030202|Strong=0376 29-30 הַה֔וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOB_1:3!21|MId=o180010030211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 ה֔וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=JOB_1:3!21|MId=o180010030212|Strong=1931|Type=personal 31 גָּד֖וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=great|Ref=JOB_1:3!22|MId=o180010030221|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 32-33 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=JOB_1:3!23|MId=o180010030231|Strong=4480 33 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 nmod _ Gloss=than.all|Ref=JOB_1:3!23|MId=o180010030232|Strong=3605 34 בְּנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[the].people|Ref=JOB_1:3!24|MId=o180010030241|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 35 קֶֽדֶם קֶדֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 34 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].east|Ref=JOB_1:3!25|MId=o180010030251|Strong=6924|SpaceAfter=No 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=JOB_1:3!25 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
