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 — men — and what happens in the verse to shadow, regard, 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. אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־כֵּ֭ן סָ֣רוּ מֵֽאַחֲרָ֑יו וְכָל־דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ [Because they turned aside from following Him, and would not have regard to any of His ways;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.908/) ## 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:840 # text = אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־כֵּ֭ן סָ֣רוּ מֵֽאַחֲרָ֑יו וְכָל־דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ # verse = JOB.34.27 1 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=JOB_34:27!1|MId=o180340270011|Strong=0834|Type=relative 2 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JOB_34:27!2|MId=o180340270021|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 3 כֵּ֭ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 4 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=JOB_34:27!3|MId=o180340270031|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 4 סָ֣רוּ סוּר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.turned.aside|Ref=JOB_34:27!4|MId=o180340270041|Strong=5493|Frame=A0:180340240021;|Type=qatal 5-7 מֵֽאַחֲרָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOB_34:27!5|MId=o180340270051|Strong=4480 6 אַחֲרָ֑י אַחַר ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JOB_34:27!5|MId=o180340270052|Strong=0310 7 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JOB_34:27!5|MId=o180340270053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_34:27!6|MId=o180340270061|Strong=2050b 9 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JOB_34:27!6|MId=o180340270062|Strong=3605 10-11 דְּ֝רָכָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 דְּ֝רָכָ֗י דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ways|Ref=JOB_34:27!7|MId=o180340270071|Strong=1870 11 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_34:27!7|MId=o180340270072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_34:27!8|MId=o180340270081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ שָׂכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.considered|Ref=JOB_34:27!9|MId=o180340270091|Strong=7919|Frame=AA:180340240021;A0:180340270071;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=JOB_34:27!9 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | סָרוּ *they turned aside* | qatal · qal | | | | | | **not** הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ *they considered* | qatal · hiphil | דְּרָכָי *ways* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
