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 — guidance, waters, breadth — and what happens in the verse to waters, whatsoever, 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. וְה֤וּא מְסִבּ֨וֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו לְפָעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃ [And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.985/) ## 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:911 # text = וְה֤וּא מְסִבּ֨וֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו לְפָעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃ # verse = JOB.37.12 1-2 וְה֤וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_37:12!1|MId=o180370120011|Strong=2050b 2 ה֤וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JOB_37:12!1|MId=o180370120012|Strong=1931|Type=personal 3 מְסִבּ֨וֹת מְסִבָּה NOUN _ Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=round.about|Ref=JOB_37:12!2|MId=o180370120021|Strong=4524a 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=JOB_37:12!2 5 מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ הָפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].turning.every.way|Ref=JOB_37:12!3|MId=o180370120031|Strong=2015|Frame=A0:180370120012;|Type=participle_active 6-8 בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=JOB_37:12!5|MId=o180370120051|Strong=0871a 7 תַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣י תַּחְבֻּלֹות NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=guidance(s)|Ref=JOB_37:12!5|MId=o180370120052|Strong=8458 8 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JOB_37:12!5|MId=o180370120053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-11 לְפָעֳלָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=they|Ref=JOB_37:12!6|MId=o180370120061|Strong=3807a 10 פָעֳל פֹּעַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 advcl _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_37:12!6|MId=o180370120062|Strong=6466|Frame=A0:180370120063;A1:180370120071;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=do|Ref=JOB_37:12!6|MId=o180370120063|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JOB_37:12!7|MId=o180370120071|Strong=3605 13 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=JOB_37:12!8|MId=o180370120081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14-15 יְצַוֵּ֓ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 יְצַוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=JOB_37:12!9|MId=o180370120091|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:180370100021;A2:180370120092;A1:180370120071;|Type=yiqtol 15 ֵ֓ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=commands.them|Ref=JOB_37:12!9|MId=o180370120092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=JOB_37:12!9 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=JOB_37:12!10|MId=o180370120101|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 18 פְּנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=the.surface|Ref=JOB_37:12!11|MId=o180370120111|Strong=6440 19 תֵבֵ֣ל תֵּבֵל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].world|Ref=JOB_37:12!12|MId=o180370120121|Strong=8398 20-21 אָֽרְצָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אָֽרְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 nmod _ Gloss=earth|Ref=JOB_37:12!13|MId=o180370120131|Strong=0776 21 ָה ה X _ _ 20 nmod _ Gloss=to.[the]|Ref=JOB_37:12!13|MId=o180370120132|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JOB_37:12!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מִתְהַפֵּךְ *\[is\] turning every way* | participle active · hithpael | הוּא *it* | | | | | פָעֳל *to* | infinitive construct · qal | ָם *do* | כֹּל *all* | | | | יְצַוּ *he* | yiqtol · piel | | כֹּל *all* | ֵם *commands them* | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
