Job 39:9 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, the Targum, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/JOB.39.9/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Job](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/JOB/) / [chapter 39](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/JOB/39/) / 39:9 # Job 39:9 אִיּוֹב **Who acts:** wild ox, driver · **What happens:** be, serve, abide · **To what, where:** thee This is Job 39:9 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 — wild ox, driver — and what happens in the verse to thee, 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. הֲיֹ֣אבֶה רֵּ֣יםעָבְדֶ֑ךָ אִם־יָ֝לִ֗ין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃ [Will the wild-ox be willing to serve thee?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.1064/) [Or will he abide by thy crib?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.1065/) ## 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:973 # text = הֲיֹ֣אבֶה רֵּ֣יםעָבְדֶ֑ךָ אִם־יָ֝לִ֗ין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃ # verse = JOB.39.9 1-2 הֲיֹ֣אבֶה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=is|Ref=JOB_39:9!1|MId=o180390090011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 יֹ֣אבֶה אָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.willing?|Ref=JOB_39:9!1|MId=o180390090012|Strong=0014|Frame=A0:180390090021;A1:180390090031;|Type=yiqtol 3-5 רֵּ֣יםעָבְדֶ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 רֵּ֣ים רְאֵם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=a.wild.ox|Ref=JOB_39:9!2|MId=o180390090021|Strong=7214 4 עָבְד עָבַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 ccomp _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_39:9!3|MId=o180390090031|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:180390090021;A1:180390090032;|Type=infinitive_construct 5 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=serve.you|Ref=JOB_39:9!3|MId=o180390090032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=or?|Ref=JOB_39:9!4|MId=o180390090041|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 7 יָ֝לִ֗ין לין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=will.it.pass.the.night|Ref=JOB_39:9!5|MId=o180390090051|Strong=3885a|Frame=A0:180390090021;|Type=yiqtol 8 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=JOB_39:9!6|MId=o180390090061|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 אֲבוּסֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֲבוּס אֵבוּס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=trough|Ref=JOB_39:9!7|MId=o180390090071|Strong=0018 10 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.feeding|Ref=JOB_39:9!7|MId=o180390090072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=JOB_39:9!7 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹאבֶה *it willing?* | yiqtol · qal | רֵּים *a wild ox* | עָבְד *to* | | | | עָבְד *to* | infinitive construct · qal | רֵּים *a wild ox* | ֶךָ *serve you* | | | | יָלִין *will it pass the night* | yiqtol · qal | רֵּים *a wild ox* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
