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, Satan — and what happens in the verse to feast, sons, 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 הַיּ֔וֹם וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהוָ֑ה וַיָּב֥וֹא גַֽם־הַשָּׂטָ֖ן בְּתוֹכָֽם׃ [Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.5/) ## 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:5 # text = וַיְהִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהוָ֑ה וַיָּב֥וֹא גַֽם־הַשָּׂטָ֖ן בְּתוֹכָֽם׃ # verse = JOB.1.6 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:6!1|MId=o180010060011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JOB_1:6!1|MId=o180010060012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:180010060022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַיּ֔וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_1:6!2|MId=o180010060021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 יּ֔וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=day|Ref=JOB_1:6!2|MId=o180010060022|Strong=3117 5-6 וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:6!3|MId=o180010060031|Strong=2050b 6 יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=JOB_1:6!3|MId=o180010060032|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:180010060041;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=JOB_1:6!4|MId=o180010060041|Strong=1121 8-9 הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=JOB_1:6!5|MId=o180010060051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=JOB_1:6!5|MId=o180010060052|Strong=0430 10-11 לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_1:6!6|MId=o180010060061|Strong=3807a 11 הִתְיַצֵּ֖ב יָצַב VERB _ HebBinyan=HITHPAEL 6 advcl _ Gloss=present.themselves|Ref=JOB_1:6!6|MId=o180010060062|Strong=3320|Frame=A0:180010060041;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOB_1:6!7|MId=o180010060071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 13 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JOB_1:6!8|MId=o180010060081|Strong=3068 14-15 וַיָּב֥וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:6!9|MId=o180010060091|Strong=2050b 15 יָּב֥וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.came|Ref=JOB_1:6!9|MId=o180010060092|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:180010060112;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 גַֽם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=JOB_1:6!10|MId=o180010060101|Strong=1571|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הַשָּׂטָ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_1:6!11|MId=o180010060111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 שָּׂטָ֖ן שָׂטָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=adversary|Ref=JOB_1:6!11|MId=o180010060112|Strong=7854 19-21 בְּתוֹכָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=JOB_1:6!12|MId=o180010060121|Strong=0871a 20 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JOB_1:6!12|MId=o180010060122|Strong=8432 21 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=JOB_1:6!12|MId=o180010060123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JOB_1:6!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהִי *it was* | wayyiqtol · qal | יּוֹם *day* | | | | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the sons* | | | | | הִתְיַצֵּב *present themselves* | infinitive construct · hithpael | בְּנֵי *the sons* | | | | | יָּבוֹא *he came* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
