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 — they, Ammonite, people — and what happens in the verse to book, assembly, 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. בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא נִקְרָ֛א בְּסֵ֥פֶר מֹשֶׁ֖ה בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֑ם וְנִמְצָא֙ כָּת֣וּב בּ֔וֹ אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא־יָב֨וֹא עַמֹּנִ֧י וּמֹאָבִ֛י בִּקְהַ֥ל הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ [On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.407/) ## 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:374 # text = בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא נִקְרָ֛א בְּסֵ֥פֶר מֹשֶׁ֖ה בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֑ם וְנִמְצָא֙ כָּת֣וּב בּ֔וֹ אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא־יָב֨וֹא עַמֹּנִ֧י וּמֹאָבִ֛י בִּקְהַ֥ל הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ # verse = NEH.13.1 1-3 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NEH_13:1!1|MId=o160130010011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_13:1!1|MId=o160130010011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=NEH_13:1!1|MId=o160130010012|Strong=3117 4-5 הַה֗וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_13:1!2|MId=o160130010021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 ה֗וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=NEH_13:1!2|MId=o160130010022|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6 נִקְרָ֛א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was.read.aloud|Ref=NEH_13:1!3|MId=o160130010031|Strong=7121|Type=qatal 7-8 בְּסֵ֥פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_13:1!4|MId=o160130010041|Strong=0871a 8 סֵ֥פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=the.scroll|Ref=NEH_13:1!4|MId=o160130010042|Strong=5612 9 מֹשֶׁ֖ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moses|Ref=NEH_13:1!5|MId=o160130010051|Strong=4872 10-11 בְּאָזְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_13:1!6|MId=o160130010061|Strong=0871a 11 אָזְנֵ֣י אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 6 obl _ Gloss=the.ears|Ref=NEH_13:1!6|MId=o160130010062|Strong=0241 12-13 הָעָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_13:1!7|MId=o160130010071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עָ֑ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NEH_13:1!7|MId=o160130010072|Strong=5971 14-15 וְנִמְצָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:1!8|MId=o160130010081|Strong=2050b 15 נִמְצָא֙ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=it.was.found|Ref=NEH_13:1!8|MId=o160130010082|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:160130010091;|Type=qatal 16 כָּת֣וּב כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=written|Ref=NEH_13:1!9|MId=o160130010091|Strong=3789|Frame=A1:160130010131;|Type=participle_passive 17-18 בּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_13:1!10|MId=o160130010101|Strong=0871a 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NEH_13:1!10|MId=o160130010102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 אֲ֠שֶׁר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NEH_13:1!11|MId=o160130010111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_13:1!12|MId=o160130010121|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 21 יָב֨וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 nsubj _ Gloss=he.will.come|Ref=NEH_13:1!13|MId=o160130010131|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:160130010141;160130010152;|Type=yiqtol 22 עַמֹּנִ֧י עַמּוֹנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=an.Ammonite|Ref=NEH_13:1!14|MId=o160130010141|Strong=5984|Type=gentilic 23-24 וּמֹאָבִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:1!15|MId=o160130010151|Strong=2050b 24 מֹאָבִ֛י מוֹאָבִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=a.Moabite|Ref=NEH_13:1!15|MId=o160130010152|Strong=4125|Type=gentilic 25-26 בִּקְהַ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_13:1!16|MId=o160130010161|Strong=0871a 26 קְהַ֥ל קָהָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=the.assembly|Ref=NEH_13:1!16|MId=o160130010162|Strong=6951 27-28 הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=NEH_13:1!17|MId=o160130010171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=NEH_13:1!17|MId=o160130010172|Strong=0430 29 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=NEH_13:1!18|MId=o160130010181|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 30 עוֹלָֽם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=NEH_13:1!19|MId=o160130010191|Strong=5769|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=NEH_13:1!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִמְצָא *it was found* | qatal · niphal | | כָּתוּב *written* | | | | כָּתוּב *written* | participle passive · qal | | יָבוֹא *he will come* | | | | **not** יָבוֹא *he will come* | yiqtol · qal | עַמֹּנִי *an Ammonite* + מֹאָבִי *a Moabite* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
