# Job 1:5 אִיּוֹב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** it, Job, sons · **What happens:** be, go about, send, sanctify, rise up, offer · **To what, where:** days, sons, burnt offerings, God, hearts · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 1:5 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — it, Job, sons — and what happens in the verse to days, sons, burnt offerings, God, hearts, 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.

[And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said: 'It may be that my sons have sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts.' Thus did Job continually.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.4/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
