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 — you, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to loins, 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. אֱזָר־נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר חֲלָצֶ֑יךָ אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ [Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.1099/) ## 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:1001 # text = אֱזָר־נָ֣א כְגֶ֣בֶר חֲלָצֶ֑יךָ אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ # verse = JOB.40.7 1 אֱזָר־ אָזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=gird.up|Ref=JOB_40:7!1|MId=o180400070011|Strong=0247|Frame=A0:180400060041;A1:180400070041;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 2 נָ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 1 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JOB_40:7!2|MId=o180400070021|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 3-4 כְגֶ֣בֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JOB_40:7!3|MId=o180400070031|Strong=3509a 4 גֶ֣בֶר גֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=JOB_40:7!3|MId=o180400070032|Strong=1397 5-6 חֲלָצֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 חֲלָצֶ֑י חָלָץ NOUN _ Number=Dual 1 obj _ Gloss=loins|Ref=JOB_40:7!4|MId=o180400070041|Strong=2504 6 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOB_40:7!4|MId=o180400070042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-8 אֶ֝שְׁאָלְךָ֗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֶ֝שְׁאָל שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=JOB_40:7!5|MId=o180400070051|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:180400060021;A1:180400070052;|Type=yiqtol 8 ְךָ֗ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=will.ask.you|Ref=JOB_40:7!5|MId=o180400070052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9-11 וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_40:7!6|MId=o180400070061|Strong=2050b 10 הוֹדִיע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=make|Ref=JOB_40:7!6|MId=o180400070062|Strong=3045|Frame=AA:180400060041;A0:180400070063;|Type=imperative 11 ֵֽנִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=known.to.me|Ref=JOB_40:7!6|MId=o180400070063|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 12 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 11 punct _ Ref=JOB_40:7!6 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֱזָר־ *gird up* | imperative · qal | | חֲלָצֶי *loins* | | | | אֶשְׁאָל *I* | yiqtol · qal | | ְךָ *will ask you* | | | | הוֹדִיע *make* | imperative · hiphil | ֵֽנִי *known to me* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
