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, Satan — and what happens in the verse to LORD, earth, 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 אֵ֥י מִזֶּ֖ה תָּבֹ֑א וַיַּ֨עַן הַשָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת־יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר מִשֻּׁ֣ט בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵהִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽהּ׃ [And the LORD said unto Satan: 'From whence comest thou?' And Satan answered the LORD, and said: 'From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.24/) ## 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:23 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־הַשָּׂטָ֔ן אֵ֥י מִזֶּ֖ה תָּבֹ֑א וַיַּ֨עַן הַשָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת־יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר מִשֻּׁ֣ט בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵהִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽהּ׃ # verse = JOB.2.2 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:2!1|MId=o180020020011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JOB_2:2!1|MId=o180020020012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:180020020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JOB_2:2!2|MId=o180020020021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_2:2!3|MId=o180020020031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַשָּׂטָ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_2:2!4|MId=o180020020041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 שָּׂטָ֔ן שָׂטָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=adversary|Ref=JOB_2:2!4|MId=o180020020042|Strong=7854 7 אֵ֥י אַי PART _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=where?|Ref=JOB_2:2!5|MId=o180020020051|Strong=0335|Type=interrogative 8-9 מִזֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOB_2:2!6|MId=o180020020061|Strong=4480 9 זֶּ֖ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 10 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=JOB_2:2!6|MId=o180020020062|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 10 תָּבֹ֑א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=are.you.coming|Ref=JOB_2:2!7|MId=o180020020071|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:180020020042;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 וַיַּ֨עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:2!8|MId=o180020020081|Strong=2050b 12 יַּ֨עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=JOB_2:2!8|MId=o180020020082|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:180020020092;A1:180020020111;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 הַשָּׂטָ֤ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_2:2!9|MId=o180020020091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 שָּׂטָ֤ן שָׂטָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=adversary|Ref=JOB_2:2!9|MId=o180020020092|Strong=7854 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOB_2:2!10|MId=o180020020101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JOB_2:2!11|MId=o180020020111|Strong=3068 17-18 וַיֹּאמַ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:2!12|MId=o180020020121|Strong=2050b 18 יֹּאמַ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JOB_2:2!12|MId=o180020020122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:180020020092;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 מִשֻּׁ֣ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOB_2:2!13|MId=o180020020131|Strong=4480 20 שֻּׁ֣ט שׁוּט VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 ccomp _ Gloss=going.about|Ref=JOB_2:2!13|MId=o180020020132|Strong=7751|Frame=A0:180020020092;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-23 בָּאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOB_2:2!14|MId=o180020020141|Strong=0871a 22 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_2:2!14|MId=o180020020141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=JOB_2:2!14|MId=o180020020142|Strong=0776 24-26 וּמֵהִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_2:2!15|MId=o180020020151|Strong=2050b 25 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOB_2:2!15|MId=o180020020152|Strong=4480 26 הִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=HITHPAEL 20 conj _ Gloss=going.about|Ref=JOB_2:2!15|MId=o180020020153|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:180020020092;|Type=infinitive_construct 27-28 בָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOB_2:2!16|MId=o180020020161|Strong=0871a 28 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JOB_2:2!16|MId=o180020020162|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JOB_2:2!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - indirect: 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* | | | | | תָּבֹא *are you coming* | yiqtol · qal | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | | | | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | יֹּאמַר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | | | | | שֻּׁט *going about* | infinitive construct · qal | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | | | | | הִתְהַלֵּךְ *going about* | infinitive construct · hithpael | שָּׂטָן *adversary* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
