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 — I, Eliashib — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, evil, chamber, Eliashib, courts, 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. וָאָב֖וֹא לִֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וָאָבִ֣ינָה בָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ לְט֣וֹבִיָּ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת לוֹ֙ נִשְׁכָּ֔ה בְּחַצְרֵ֖י בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ [and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.413/) ## 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:380 # text = וָאָב֖וֹא לִֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וָאָבִ֣ינָה בָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ לְט֣וֹבִיָּ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת לוֹ֙ נִשְׁכָּ֔ה בְּחַצְרֵ֖י בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ # verse = NEH.13.7 1-2 וָאָב֖וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:7!1|MId=o160130070011|Strong=2050b 2 אָב֖וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.came|Ref=NEH_13:7!1|MId=o160130070012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:160120470061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לִֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לִֽ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_13:7!2|MId=o160130070021|Strong=3807a 4 ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=NEH_13:7!2|MId=o160130070022|Strong=3389 5-7 וָאָבִ֣ינָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:7!3|MId=o160130070031|Strong=2050b 6 אָבִ֣ינ בִּין VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=NEH_13:7!3|MId=o160130070032|Strong=0995|Frame=A0:160120470061;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 ָה ה X _ _ 6 nmod _ Gloss=perceived|Ref=NEH_13:7!3|MId=o160130070033|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 8-10 בָרָעָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בָ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(in).the|Ref=NEH_13:7!4|MId=o160130070041|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=evil|Ref=NEH_13:7!4|MId=o160130070041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 רָעָ֗ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=thing|Ref=NEH_13:7!4|MId=o160130070042|Strong=7451b 11 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NEH_13:7!5|MId=o160130070051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12 עָשָׂ֤ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.done|Ref=NEH_13:7!6|MId=o160130070061|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:160130070071;A1:160130070043;|Type=qatal 13 אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ אֶלְיָשִׁיב PROPN _ _ 12 nsubj _ Gloss=Eliashib|Ref=NEH_13:7!7|MId=o160130070071|Strong=0475 14-15 לְט֣וֹבִיָּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NEH_13:7!8|MId=o160130070081|Strong=3807a 15 ט֣וֹבִיָּ֔ה טֹובִיָּה PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Tobiah|Ref=NEH_13:7!8|MId=o160130070082|Strong=2900 16-17 לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NEH_13:7!9|MId=o160130070091|Strong=3807a 17 עֲשׂ֥וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 advcl _ Gloss=making|Ref=NEH_13:7!9|MId=o160130070092|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:160130070071;A1:160130070111;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NEH_13:7!10|MId=o160130070101|Strong=3807a 19 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NEH_13:7!10|MId=o160130070102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 נִשְׁכָּ֔ה נִשְׁכָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=a.room|Ref=NEH_13:7!11|MId=o160130070111|Strong=5393 21-22 בְּחַצְרֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_13:7!12|MId=o160130070121|Strong=0871a 22 חַצְרֵ֖י חָצֵר NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=the.courtyards|Ref=NEH_13:7!12|MId=o160130070122|Strong=2691 23 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=NEH_13:7!13|MId=o160130070131|Strong=1004 24-25 הָאֱלֹהִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=NEH_13:7!14|MId=o160130070141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 אֱלֹהִֽים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=NEH_13:7!14|MId=o160130070142|Strong=0430 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NEH_13:7!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָבוֹא *I came* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אָבִינ *I* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | עָשָׂה *he had done* | qatal · qal | אֶלְיָשִׁיב *Eliashib* | | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *making* | infinitive construct · qal | אֶלְיָשִׁיב *Eliashib* | נִשְׁכָּה *a room* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
