Nehemiah 10:31 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, 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/NEH.10.31/) [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/) / [Nehemiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/NEH/) / [chapter 10](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/NEH/10/) / 10:31 # Nehemiah 10:31 נְחֶמְיָה **Who acts:** we · **What happens:** not give, take · **To what, where:** daughters This is Nehemiah 10:31 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 — we — and what happens in the verse to daughters, 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. וַאֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־נִתֵּ֥ן בְּנֹתֵ֖ינוּ לְעַמֵּ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ וְאֶת־בְּנֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם לֹ֥א נִקַּ֖ח לְבָנֵֽינוּ׃ [and that we would not give our daughters unto the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.310/) ## 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:281 # text = וַאֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־נִתֵּ֥ן בְּנֹתֵ֖ינוּ לְעַמֵּ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ וְאֶת־בְּנֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם לֹ֥א נִקַּ֖ח לְבָנֵֽינוּ׃ # verse = NEH.10.31 1-2 וַאֲשֶׁ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_10:31!1|MId=o160100310011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NEH_10:31!1|MId=o160100310012|Strong=0834|Type=relative 3 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_10:31!2|MId=o160100310021|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 4 נִתֵּ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=we.will.give|Ref=NEH_10:31!3|MId=o160100310031|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:160100020031;160100290012;160100300031;A1:160100310041;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 בְּנֹתֵ֖ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּנֹתֵ֖י בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=NEH_10:31!4|MId=o160100310041|Strong=1323 6 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NEH_10:31!4|MId=o160100310042|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 7-8 לְעַמֵּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_10:31!5|MId=o160100310051|Strong=3807a 8 עַמֵּ֣י עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=the.peoples|Ref=NEH_10:31!5|MId=o160100310052|Strong=5971 9-10 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_10:31!6|MId=o160100310061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=NEH_10:31!6|MId=o160100310062|Strong=0776 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_10:31!7|MId=o160100310071|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_10:31!7|MId=o160100310072|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13-14 בְּנֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּנֹ֣תֵי בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=NEH_10:31!8|MId=o160100310081|Strong=1323 14 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NEH_10:31!8|MId=o160100310082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_10:31!9|MId=o160100310091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 נִקַּ֖ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=we.will.take|Ref=NEH_10:31!10|MId=o160100310101|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:160100020031;160100290012;160100300031;A1:160100310081;|Type=yiqtol 17-19 לְבָנֵֽינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NEH_10:31!11|MId=o160100310111|Strong=3807a 18 בָנֵֽי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=sons|Ref=NEH_10:31!11|MId=o160100310112|Strong=1121 19 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NEH_10:31!11|MId=o160100310113|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=NEH_10:31!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** נִתֵּן *we will give* | yiqtol · qal | | בְּנֹתֵי *daughters* | | | | **not** נִקַּח *we will take* | yiqtol · qal | | בְּנֹתֵי *daughters* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
