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 — friends, none, grief — and what happens in the verse to ground, word, 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. וַיֵּשְׁב֤וּ אִתּוֹ֙ לָאָ֔רֶץ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים וְשִׁבְעַ֣ת לֵיל֑וֹת וְאֵין־דֹּבֵ֤ר אֵלָיו֙ דָּבָ֔ר כִּ֣י רָא֔וּ כִּֽי־גָדַ֥ל הַכְּאֵ֖ב מְאֹֽד׃ [So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his grief was very great.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.36/) ## 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:34 # text = וַיֵּשְׁב֤וּ אִתּוֹ֙ לָאָ֔רֶץ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים וְשִׁבְעַ֣ת לֵיל֑וֹת וְאֵין־דֹּבֵ֤ר אֵלָיו֙ דָּבָ֔ר כִּ֣י רָא֔וּ כִּֽי־גָדַ֥ל הַכְּאֵ֖ב מְאֹֽד׃ # verse = JOB.2.13 1-2 וַיֵּשְׁב֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:13!1|MId=o180020130011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּשְׁב֤וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.sat|Ref=JOB_2:13!1|MId=o180020130012|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:180020110141;180020110162;180020110182;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אִתּוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOB_2:13!2|MId=o180020130021|Strong=0854 4 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JOB_2:13!2|MId=o180020130022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-7 לָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_2:13!3|MId=o180020130031|Strong=3807a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_2:13!3|MId=o180020130031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=ground|Ref=JOB_2:13!3|MId=o180020130032|Strong=0776 8 שִׁבְעַ֥ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=JOB_2:13!4|MId=o180020130041|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 9 יָמִ֖ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=JOB_2:13!5|MId=o180020130051|Strong=3117 10-11 וְשִׁבְעַ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:13!6|MId=o180020130061|Strong=2050b 11 שִׁבְעַ֣ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=JOB_2:13!6|MId=o180020130062|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 12 לֵיל֑וֹת לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 conj _ Gloss=nights|Ref=JOB_2:13!7|MId=o180020130071|Strong=3915 13-14 וְאֵין־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:13!8|MId=o180020130081|Strong=2050b 14 אֵין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=there.[was].not|Ref=JOB_2:13!8|MId=o180020130082|Strong=0369|Type=negative 15 דֹּבֵ֤ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=[one.who].spoke|Ref=JOB_2:13!9|MId=o180020130091|Strong=1696|Frame=A1:180020130111;|Type=participle_active 16-17 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_2:13!10|MId=o180020130101|Strong=0413 17 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JOB_2:13!10|MId=o180020130102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 דָּבָ֔ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=a.word|Ref=JOB_2:13!11|MId=o180020130111|Strong=1697 19 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JOB_2:13!12|MId=o180020130121|Strong=3588 20 רָא֔וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.saw|Ref=JOB_2:13!13|MId=o180020130131|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:180020110141;180020110162;180020110182;A1:180020130151;|Type=qatal 21 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=JOB_2:13!14|MId=o180020130141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 22 גָדַ֥ל גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 20 ccomp _ Gloss=it.was.great|Ref=JOB_2:13!15|MId=o180020130151|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:180020130162;|Type=qatal 23-24 הַכְּאֵ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_2:13!16|MId=o180020130161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 כְּאֵ֖ב כְּאֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=pain|Ref=JOB_2:13!16|MId=o180020130162|Strong=3511 25 מְאֹֽד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=JOB_2:13!17|MId=o180020130171|Strong=3966|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JOB_2:13!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יֵּשְׁבוּ *they sat* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | דֹּבֵר *\[one who\] spoke* | participle active · qal | | דָּבָר *a word* | | | | רָאוּ *they saw* | qatal · qal | | גָדַל *it was great* | | | | גָדַל *it was great* | qatal · qal | כְּאֵב *pain* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
