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 — man, heavens — and what happens in the verse to sleep, 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. וְאִ֥ישׁ שָׁכַ֗ב וְֽלֹא־יָ֫ק֥וּם עַד־בִּלְתִּ֣י שָׁ֭מַיִם לֹ֣א יָקִ֑יצוּ וְלֹֽא־יֵ֝עֹ֗רוּ מִשְּׁנָתָֽם׃ [So man lieth down and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.352/) ## 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:323 # text = וְאִ֥ישׁ שָׁכַ֗ב וְֽלֹא־יָ֫ק֥וּם עַד־בִּלְתִּ֣י שָׁ֭מַיִם לֹ֣א יָקִ֑יצוּ וְלֹֽא־יֵ֝עֹ֗רוּ מִשְּׁנָתָֽם׃ # verse = JOB.14.12 1-2 וְאִ֥ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_14:12!1|MId=o180140120011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=a.person|Ref=JOB_14:12!1|MId=o180140120012|Strong=0376 3 שָׁכַ֗ב שָׁכַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.lies.down|Ref=JOB_14:12!2|MId=o180140120021|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:180140120012;|Type=qatal 4-5 וְֽלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_14:12!3|MId=o180140120031|Strong=2050b 5 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_14:12!3|MId=o180140120032|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 יָ֫ק֥וּם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.will.arise|Ref=JOB_14:12!4|MId=o180140120041|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:180140120012;|Type=yiqtol 7 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JOB_14:12!5|MId=o180140120051|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 8 בִּלְתִּ֣י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=[is].not|Ref=JOB_14:12!6|MId=o180140120061|Strong=1115 9 שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=heaven|Ref=JOB_14:12!7|MId=o180140120071|Strong=8064 10 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_14:12!8|MId=o180140120081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 11 יָקִ֑יצוּ קוץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.awake|Ref=JOB_14:12!9|MId=o180140120091|Strong=6974a|Frame=A0:180140120012;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_14:12!10|MId=o180140120101|Strong=2050b 13 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_14:12!10|MId=o180140120102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14 יֵ֝עֹ֗רוּ עוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be.roused|Ref=JOB_14:12!11|MId=o180140120111|Strong=5782|Frame=A1:180140120012;|Type=yiqtol 15-17 מִשְּׁנָתָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOB_14:12!12|MId=o180140120121|Strong=4480 16 שְּׁנָת שֵׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=sleep|Ref=JOB_14:12!12|MId=o180140120122|Strong=8142 17 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JOB_14:12!12|MId=o180140120123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=JOB_14:12!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁכַב *he lies down* | qatal · qal | אִישׁ *a person* | | | | | **not** יָקוּם *he will arise* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a person* | | | | | **not** יָקִיצוּ *they will awake* | yiqtol · hiphil | אִישׁ *a person* | | | | | **not** יֵעֹרוּ *they will be roused* | yiqtol · niphal | | אִישׁ *a person* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
