# Job 20:23 אִיּוֹב

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** prosperity, head · **What happens:** be, cast, cause, rain · **To what, where:** fierceness, prosperity, flesh

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 20:23 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — prosperity, head — and what happens in the verse to fierceness, prosperity, flesh, 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.

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: statement
- act: assert
- voice: character
- speech: speech with no frame
- negation: no

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| מַלֵּא *fill* | infinitive construct · piel |  | בִטְנ *belly* |  |  |
| יְֽשַׁלַּח־ *he will send* | yiqtol · piel |  | חֲרוֹן *the burning* |  |  |
| יַמְטֵר *he will send rain* | yiqtol · hiphil | חֲרוֹן *the burning* |  |  |  |

<!-- .note -->
MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## The Targum {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
יְהֵי לְמִמְלֵי כְרֵסֵיהּ יְגָרֵי בֵיהּ תְּקוֹף רוּגְזֵיהּ וְיָחַת עָלוֹי מִטְרֵין בְּשַׁלְדֵיהּ:

<!-- .note -->
The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
