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 — father — and what happens in the verse to women, land, inheritance, 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. וְלֹ֨א נִמְצָ֜א נָשִׁ֥ים יָפ֛וֹת כִּבְנ֥וֹת אִיּ֖וֹב בְּכָל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֧ם אֲבִיהֶ֛ם נַחֲלָ֖ה בְּת֥וֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃ס [And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/JOB.1173/) ## 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:1067 # text = וְלֹ֨א נִמְצָ֜א נָשִׁ֥ים יָפ֛וֹת כִּבְנ֥וֹת אִיּ֖וֹב בְּכָל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֧ם אֲבִיהֶ֛ם נַחֲלָ֖ה בְּת֥וֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃ס # verse = JOB.42.15 1-2 וְלֹ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_42:15!1|MId=o180420150011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹ֨א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOB_42:15!1|MId=o180420150012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 נִמְצָ֜א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was.found|Ref=JOB_42:15!2|MId=o180420150021|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:180420150031;|Type=qatal 4 נָשִׁ֥ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=women|Ref=JOB_42:15!3|MId=o180420150031|Strong=0802 5 יָפ֛וֹת יָפֶה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 amod _ Gloss=beautiful|Ref=JOB_42:15!4|MId=o180420150041|Strong=3303|Type=adjective 6-7 כִּבְנ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JOB_42:15!5|MId=o180420150051|Strong=3509a 7 בְנ֥וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 nmod _ Gloss=the.daughters|Ref=JOB_42:15!5|MId=o180420150052|Strong=1323 8 אִיּ֖וֹב אִיּוֹב PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Job|Ref=JOB_42:15!6|MId=o180420150061|Strong=0347 9-10 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOB_42:15!7|MId=o180420150071|Strong=0871a 10 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JOB_42:15!7|MId=o180420150072|Strong=3605 11-12 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOB_42:15!8|MId=o180420150081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=land|Ref=JOB_42:15!8|MId=o180420150082|Strong=0776 13-14 וַיִּתֵּ֨ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOB_42:15!9|MId=o180420150091|Strong=2050b 14 יִּתֵּ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.gave|Ref=JOB_42:15!9|MId=o180420150092|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:180420150111;A1:180420150121;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 לָהֶ֧ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOB_42:15!10|MId=o180420150101|Strong=3807a 16 ָהֶ֧ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JOB_42:15!10|MId=o180420150102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17-18 אֲבִיהֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֲבִי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=JOB_42:15!11|MId=o180420150111|Strong=0001 18 הֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JOB_42:15!11|MId=o180420150112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19 נַחֲלָ֖ה נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=an.inheritance|Ref=JOB_42:15!12|MId=o180420150121|Strong=5159 20-21 בְּת֥וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=JOB_42:15!13|MId=o180420150131|Strong=0871a 21 ת֥וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JOB_42:15!13|MId=o180420150132|Strong=8432 22-23 אֲחֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֲחֵי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=JOB_42:15!14|MId=o180420150141|Strong=0251 23 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JOB_42:15!14|MId=o180420150142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JOB_42:15!14|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JOB_42:15!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** נִמְצָא *it was found* | qatal · niphal | | נָשִׁים *women* | | | | יִּתֵּן *he gave* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲבִי *father* | נַחֲלָה *an inheritance* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
