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 — sons, three sisters — and what happens in the verse to feast, house, three sisters, 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. וְהָלְכ֤וּ בָנָיו֙ וְעָשׂ֣וּ מִשְׁתֶּ֔ה בֵּ֖ית אִ֣ישׁ יוֹמ֑וֹ וְשָׁלְח֗וּ וְקָרְאוּ֙ לִשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת אַחְיֽוֹתֵיהֶ֔ם לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּ֖וֹת עִמָּהֶֽם׃ [And his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.3/) ## 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:3 # text = וְהָלְכ֤וּ בָנָיו֙ וְעָשׂ֣וּ מִשְׁתֶּ֔ה בֵּ֖ית אִ֣ישׁ יוֹמ֑וֹ וְשָׁלְח֗וּ וְקָרְאוּ֙ לִשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת אַחְיֽוֹתֵיהֶ֔ם לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּ֖וֹת עִמָּהֶֽם׃ # verse = JOB.1.4 1-2 וְהָלְכ֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:4!1|MId=o180010040011|Strong=2050b 2 הָלְכ֤וּ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=JOB_1:4!1|MId=o180010040012|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:180010040021;|Type=qatal 3-4 בָנָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בָנָי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JOB_1:4!2|MId=o180010040021|Strong=1121 4 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_1:4!2|MId=o180010040022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-6 וְעָשׂ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:4!3|MId=o180010040031|Strong=2050b 6 עָשׂ֣וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.made|Ref=JOB_1:4!3|MId=o180010040032|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:180010040021;A1:180010040041;|Type=qatal 7 מִשְׁתֶּ֔ה מִשְׁתֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=a.feast|Ref=JOB_1:4!4|MId=o180010040041|Strong=4960 8 בֵּ֖ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=[the].house|Ref=JOB_1:4!5|MId=o180010040051|Strong=1004 9 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.each.one|Ref=JOB_1:4!6|MId=o180010040061|Strong=0376 10-11 יוֹמ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יוֹמ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JOB_1:4!7|MId=o180010040071|Strong=3117 11 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_1:4!7|MId=o180010040072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְשָׁלְח֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:4!8|MId=o180010040081|Strong=2050b 13 שָׁלְח֗וּ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.sent|Ref=JOB_1:4!8|MId=o180010040082|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:180010040021;|Type=qatal 14-15 וְקָרְאוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:4!9|MId=o180010040091|Strong=2050b 15 קָרְאוּ֙ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.invited|Ref=JOB_1:4!9|MId=o180010040092|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:180010040021;|Type=qatal 16-17 לִשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(to).the|Ref=JOB_1:4!10|MId=o180010040101|Strong=3807a 17 שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=JOB_1:4!10|MId=o180010040102|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 18-19 אַחְיֽוֹתֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אַחְיֽוֹתֵי אָחוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=sisters|Ref=JOB_1:4!12|MId=o180010040121|Strong=0269 19 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JOB_1:4!12|MId=o180010040122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 לֶאֱכֹ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לֶ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_1:4!13|MId=o180010040131|Strong=3807a 21 אֱכֹ֥ל אָכַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=eat|Ref=JOB_1:4!13|MId=o180010040132|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:180010040121;|Type=infinitive_construct 22-24 וְלִשְׁתּ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:4!14|MId=o180010040141|Strong=2050b 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_1:4!14|MId=o180010040142|Strong=3807a 24 שְׁתּ֖וֹת שָׁתָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 conj _ Gloss=drink|Ref=JOB_1:4!14|MId=o180010040143|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:180010040121;|Type=infinitive_construct 25-26 עִמָּהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOB_1:4!15|MId=o180010040151|Strong=5973 26 ָהֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JOB_1:4!15|MId=o180010040152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JOB_1:4!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָלְכוּ *they went* | qatal · qal | בָנָי *sons* | | | | | עָשׂוּ *they made* | qatal · qal | בָנָי *sons* | מִשְׁתֶּה *a feast* | | | | שָׁלְחוּ *they sent* | qatal · qal | בָנָי *sons* | | | | | קָרְאוּ *they invited* | qatal · qal | בָנָי *sons* | | | | | אֱכֹל *eat* | infinitive construct · qal | אַחְיֽוֹתֵי *sisters* | | | | | שְׁתּוֹת *drink* | infinitive construct · qal | אַחְיֽוֹתֵי *sisters* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
