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 — We, Thou — and what happens in the verse to commandments, ordinances, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 13 chapters of Nehemiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. חֲבֹ֖ל חָבַ֣לְנוּ לָ֑ךְ וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣רְנוּ אֶת־הַמִּצְוֺ֗ת וְאֶת־הַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְאֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֖יתָ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֥ה עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ [We have dealt very corruptly against Thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which Thou didst command Thy servant Moses.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.7/) ## 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:NEH:6 # text = חֲבֹ֖ל חָבַ֣לְנוּ לָ֑ךְ וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣רְנוּ אֶת־הַמִּצְוֺ֗ת וְאֶת־הַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְאֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֖יתָ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֥ה עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ # verse = NEH.1.7 1 חֲבֹ֖ל חָבַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 obl:npmod _ Gloss=exceedingly.(corruptly)|Ref=NEH_1:7!1|MId=o160010070011|Strong=2254a|Type=infinitive_construct 2 חָבַ֣לְנוּ חָבַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=we.have.acted.corruptly|Ref=NEH_1:7!2|MId=o160010070021|Strong=2254a|Frame=A0:160010010021;160010060251;160010060312;|Type=qatal 3-4 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_1:7!3|MId=o160010070031|Strong=3807a 4 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_1:7!3|MId=o160010070032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5-6 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_1:7!4|MId=o160010070041|Strong=2050b 6 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_1:7!4|MId=o160010070042|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 שָׁמַ֣רְנוּ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=we.have.kept|Ref=NEH_1:7!5|MId=o160010070051|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:160010010021;160010060251;160010060312;A1:160010070072;160010070092;160010070112;|Type=qatal 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_1:7!6|MId=o160010070061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַמִּצְוֺ֗ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_1:7!7|MId=o160010070071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מִּצְוֺ֗ת מִצְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=commandments|Ref=NEH_1:7!7|MId=o160010070072|Strong=4687 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_1:7!8|MId=o160010070081|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_1:7!8|MId=o160010070082|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13-14 הַֽחֻקִּים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_1:7!9|MId=o160010070091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 חֻקִּים֙ חֹק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=NEH_1:7!9|MId=o160010070092|Strong=2706 15-16 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_1:7!10|MId=o160010070101|Strong=2050b 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_1:7!10|MId=o160010070102|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17-18 הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_1:7!11|MId=o160010070111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=NEH_1:7!11|MId=o160010070112|Strong=4941 19 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NEH_1:7!12|MId=o160010070121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 צִוִּ֖יתָ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.commanded|Ref=NEH_1:7!13|MId=o160010070131|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:160010050031;A1:160010070072;160010070092;160010070112;A2:160010070151;|Type=qatal 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_1:7!14|MId=o160010070141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22 מֹשֶׁ֥ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 20 obj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NEH_1:7!15|MId=o160010070151|Strong=4872 23-24 עַבְדֶּֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 appos _ Gloss=servant|Ref=NEH_1:7!16|MId=o160010070161|Strong=5650 24 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NEH_1:7!16|MId=o160010070162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NEH_1:7!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חָבַלְנוּ *we have acted corruptly* | qatal · qal | | | | | | **not** שָׁמַרְנוּ *we have kept* | qatal · qal | | מִּצְוֺת *commandments* + חֻקִּים *statutes* + מִּשְׁפָּטִים *judgments* | | | | צִוִּיתָ *you commanded* | qatal · piel | | מִּצְוֺת *commandments* + חֻקִּים *statutes* + מִּשְׁפָּטִים *judgments* | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
