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 — these, mighty deeds — and what happens in the verse to outskirts, small whisper, thunder, 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. הֶן־אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצ֬וֹת דְּרָכָ֗יו וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יומִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ס [Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.669/) [But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.670/) ## 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:611 # text = הֶן־אֵ֤לֶּה ׀ קְצ֬וֹת דְּרָכָ֗יו וּמַה־שֵּׁ֣מֶץ דָּ֭בָר נִשְׁמַע־בּ֑וֹ וְרַ֥עַם גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יומִ֣י יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃ס # verse = JOB.26.14 1 הֶן־ הֵן INTJ _ _ 4 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=JOB_26:14!1|MId=o180260140011|Strong=2005|Type=interjection|SpaceAfter=No 2 אֵ֤לֶּה אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 4 nsubj _ Gloss=these|Ref=JOB_26:14!2|MId=o180260140021|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=JOB_26:14!2 4 קְצ֬וֹת קָצָה NOUN _ Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].the.ends|Ref=JOB_26:14!3|MId=o180260140031|Strong=7098 5-6 דְּרָכָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 דְּרָכָ֗י דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.ways|Ref=JOB_26:14!5|MId=o180260140051|Strong=1870 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_26:14!5|MId=o180260140052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וּמַה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_26:14!6|MId=o180260140061|Strong=2050b 8 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=what!|Ref=JOB_26:14!6|MId=o180260140062|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 9 שֵּׁ֣מֶץ שֵׁמֶץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=a.whisper|Ref=JOB_26:14!7|MId=o180260140071|Strong=8102 10 דָּ֭בָר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.word|Ref=JOB_26:14!8|MId=o180260140081|Strong=1697 11 נִשְׁמַע־ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=we.hear|Ref=JOB_26:14!9|MId=o180260140091|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:180260010021;180220010021;180250010021;180200010021;A1:180260140071;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 בּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOB_26:14!10|MId=o180260140101|Strong=0871a 13 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JOB_26:14!10|MId=o180260140102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְרַ֥עַם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_26:14!11|MId=o180260140111|Strong=2050b 15 רַ֥עַם רַעַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=the.thunder|Ref=JOB_26:14!11|MId=o180260140112|Strong=7482 16-18 גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗יומִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 גְּ֝בוּרוֹתָ֗י גְּבוּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.mighty.deeds|Ref=JOB_26:14!13|MId=o180260140131|Strong=1369 17 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_26:14!13|MId=o180260140132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 מִ֣י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 19 nsubj _ Gloss=who?|Ref=JOB_26:14!14|MId=o180260140141|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 19 יִתְבּוֹנָֽן בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPOLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=will.he.understand|Ref=JOB_26:14!15|MId=o180260140151|Strong=0995|Frame=A1:180260140112;A0:180260140141;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=JOB_26:14!15|SpaceAfter=No 21 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=JOB_26:14!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִשְׁמַע־ *we hear* | yiqtol · qal | | שֵּׁמֶץ *a whisper* | | | | יִתְבּוֹנָֽן *will he understand* | yiqtol · hithpolel | מִי *who?* | רַעַם *the thunder* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
