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 — rulers, one — and what happens in the verse to wall, burdens, rulers, work, weapon, 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. הַבּוֹנִ֧ים בַּחוֹמָ֛ה וְהַנֹּשְׂאִ֥ים בַּסֶּ֖בֶל עֹמְשִׂ֑ים בְּאַחַ֤ת יָדוֹ֙ עֹשֶׂ֣ה בַמְּלָאכָ֔ה וְאַחַ֖ת מַחֲזֶ֥קֶת הַשָּֽׁלַח׃ [They that builded the wall and they that bore burdens laded themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.93/) ## 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:79 # text = הַבּוֹנִ֧ים בַּחוֹמָ֛ה וְהַנֹּשְׂאִ֥ים בַּסֶּ֖בֶל עֹמְשִׂ֑ים בְּאַחַ֤ת יָדוֹ֙ עֹשֶׂ֣ה בַמְּלָאכָ֔ה וְאַחַ֖ת מַחֲזֶ֥קֶת הַשָּֽׁלַח׃ # verse = NEH.4.11 1-2 הַבּוֹנִ֧ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=NEH_4:11!1|MId=o160040110011|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 2 בּוֹנִ֧ים בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=were].rebuilding|Ref=NEH_4:11!1|MId=o160040110012|Strong=1129|Type=participle_active 3-5 בַּחוֹמָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(on)|Ref=NEH_4:11!2|MId=o160040110021|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_4:11!2|MId=o160040110021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 חוֹמָ֛ה חוֹמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=wall|Ref=NEH_4:11!2|MId=o160040110022|Strong=2346 6-8 וְהַנֹּשְׂאִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_4:11!3|MId=o160040110031|Strong=2050b 7 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=[those|Ref=NEH_4:11!3|MId=o160040110032|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 נֹּשְׂאִ֥ים נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=who.were].carrying|Ref=NEH_4:11!3|MId=o160040110033|Strong=5375|Type=participle_active 9-11 בַּסֶּ֖בֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_4:11!4|MId=o160040110041|Strong=0871a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_4:11!4|MId=o160040110041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 סֶּ֖בֶל סֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=burden|Ref=NEH_4:11!4|MId=o160040110042|Strong=5447 12 עֹמְשִׂ֑ים עָמַס VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].carrying.[it]|Ref=NEH_4:11!5|MId=o160040110051|Strong=6006|Frame=A0:160040110012;160040110033;|Type=participle_active 13-14 בְּאַחַ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NEH_4:11!6|MId=o160040110061|Strong=0871a 14 אַחַ֤ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nummod _ Gloss=the.one|Ref=NEH_4:11!6|MId=o160040110062|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 15-16 יָדוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=NEH_4:11!7|MId=o160040110071|Strong=3027 16 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NEH_4:11!7|MId=o160040110072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 עֹשֶׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 parataxis _ Gloss=[he.was].doing|Ref=NEH_4:11!8|MId=o160040110081|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:160040110012;160040110033;|Type=participle_active 18-20 בַמְּלָאכָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=NEH_4:11!9|MId=o160040110091|Strong=0871a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_4:11!9|MId=o160040110091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מְּלָאכָ֔ה מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=work|Ref=NEH_4:11!9|MId=o160040110092|Strong=4399 21-22 וְאַחַ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_4:11!10|MId=o160040110101|Strong=2050b 22 אַחַ֖ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=one.[hand]|Ref=NEH_4:11!10|MId=o160040110102|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 23 מַחֲזֶ֥קֶת חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=[was].holding|Ref=NEH_4:11!11|MId=o160040110111|Strong=2388|Frame=AA:160040110102;A0:160040110122;|Type=participle_active 24-25 הַשָּֽׁלַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_4:11!12|MId=o160040110121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 שָּֽׁלַח שֶׁלַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=weapon|Ref=NEH_4:11!12|MId=o160040110122|Strong=7973 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NEH_4:11!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עֹמְשִׂים *\[were\] carrying \[it\]* | participle active · qal | בּוֹנִים *were\] rebuilding* + נֹּשְׂאִים *who were\] carrying* | | | | | עֹשֶׂה *\[he was\] doing* | participle active · qal | בּוֹנִים *were\] rebuilding* + נֹּשְׂאִים *who were\] carrying* | | | | | מַחֲזֶקֶת *\[was\] holding* | participle active · hiphil | שָּֽׁלַח *weapon* | | | אַחַת *one \[hand\]* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
