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 — LORD, thou, none — and what happens in the verse to servant, God, evil, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־הַשָּׂטָ֔ן הֲשַׂ֥מְתָּ לִבְּךָ֖ עַל־עַבְדִּ֣י אִיּ֑וֹב כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין כָּמֹ֙הוּ֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֧ם וְיָשָׁ֛ר יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְסָ֥ר מֵרָֽע׃ [And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.7/) ## 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:7 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־הַשָּׂטָ֔ן הֲשַׂ֥מְתָּ לִבְּךָ֖ עַל־עַבְדִּ֣י אִיּ֑וֹב כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין כָּמֹ֙הוּ֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֧ם וְיָשָׁ֛ר יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְסָ֥ר מֵרָֽע׃ # verse = JOB.1.8 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:8!1|MId=o180010080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JOB_1:8!1|MId=o180010080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:180010080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JOB_1:8!2|MId=o180010080021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_1:8!3|MId=o180010080031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַשָּׂטָ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_1:8!4|MId=o180010080041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 שָּׂטָ֔ן שָׂטָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=adversary|Ref=JOB_1:8!4|MId=o180010080042|Strong=7854 7-8 הֲשַׂ֥מְתָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=have|Ref=JOB_1:8!5|MId=o180010080051|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 8 שַׂ֥מְתָּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you.set?|Ref=JOB_1:8!5|MId=o180010080052|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:180010080042;A1:180010080061;|Type=qatal 9-10 לִבְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=JOB_1:8!6|MId=o180010080061|Strong=3820 10 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOB_1:8!6|MId=o180010080062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOB_1:8!7|MId=o180010080071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 עַבְדִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=servant|Ref=JOB_1:8!8|MId=o180010080081|Strong=5650 13 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JOB_1:8!8|MId=o180010080082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 אִיּ֑וֹב אִיּוֹב PROPN _ _ 12 appos _ Gloss=Job|Ref=JOB_1:8!9|MId=o180010080091|Strong=0347 15 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JOB_1:8!10|MId=o180010080101|Strong=3588 16 אֵ֤ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 8 advcl _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=JOB_1:8!11|MId=o180010080111|Strong=0369|Type=negative 17-18 כָּמֹ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כָּמֹ֙ כְּמוֹ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JOB_1:8!12|MId=o180010080121|Strong=3644 18 הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JOB_1:8!12|MId=o180010080122|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 19-21 בָּאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOB_1:8!13|MId=o180010080131|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_1:8!13|MId=o180010080131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=JOB_1:8!13|MId=o180010080132|Strong=0776 22 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=JOB_1:8!14|MId=o180010080141|Strong=0376 23 תָּ֧ם תָּם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 amod _ Gloss=blameless|Ref=JOB_1:8!15|MId=o180010080151|Strong=8535|Type=adjective 24-25 וְיָשָׁ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_1:8!16|MId=o180010080161|Strong=2050b 25 יָשָׁ֛ר יָשָׁר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 amod _ Gloss=upright|Ref=JOB_1:8!16|MId=o180010080162|Strong=3477|Type=adjective 26 יְרֵ֥א יָרֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 amod _ Gloss=fearing|Ref=JOB_1:8!17|MId=o180010080171|Strong=3373|Type=adjective 27 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 obj _ Gloss=(of).God|Ref=JOB_1:8!18|MId=o180010080181|Strong=0430 28-29 וְסָ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and.[who]|Ref=JOB_1:8!19|MId=o180010080191|Strong=2050b 29 סָ֥ר סוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 23 acl:relcl _ Gloss=turns.aside|Ref=JOB_1:8!19|MId=o180010080192|Strong=5493|Frame=A0:180010080141;|Type=participle_active 30-31 מֵרָֽע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOB_1:8!20|MId=o180010080201|Strong=4480 31 רָֽע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=evil|Ref=JOB_1:8!20|MId=o180010080202|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JOB_1:8!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | **not** שַׂמְתָּ *you set?* | qatal · qal | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | לִבּ *heart* | | | | סָר *turns aside* | participle active · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
