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 — Jews, Ye — and what happens in the verse to midst, places, 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. וַֽיְהִי֙ כַּאֲשֶׁר־בָּ֣אוּ הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים הַיֹּשְׁבִ֖ים אֶצְלָ֑ם וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לָ֙נוּ֙ עֶ֣שֶׂר פְּעָמִ֔ים מִכָּל־הַמְּקֹמ֖וֹת אֲשֶׁר־תָּשׁ֥וּבוּ עָלֵֽינוּ׃ [And it came to pass that, when the Jews that dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times: 'Ye must return unto us from all places.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.88/) ## 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:74 # text = וַֽיְהִי֙ כַּאֲשֶׁר־בָּ֣אוּ הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים הַיֹּשְׁבִ֖ים אֶצְלָ֑ם וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לָ֙נוּ֙ עֶ֣שֶׂר פְּעָמִ֔ים מִכָּל־הַמְּקֹמ֖וֹת אֲשֶׁר־תָּשׁ֥וּבוּ עָלֵֽינוּ׃ # verse = NEH.4.6 1-2 וַֽיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_4:6!1|MId=o160040060011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=NEH_4:6!1|MId=o160040060012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 כַּאֲשֶׁר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=when|Ref=NEH_4:6!2|MId=o160040060021|Strong=3509a 4 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=|Ref=NEH_4:6!2|MId=o160040060022|Strong=0834|Type=relative 5 בָּ֣אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=NEH_4:6!3|MId=o160040060031|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:160040060042;|Type=qatal 6-7 הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_4:6!4|MId=o160040060041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 יְּהוּדִ֔ים יְהוּדִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Jews|Ref=NEH_4:6!4|MId=o160040060042|Strong=3064|Type=gentilic 8-9 הַיֹּשְׁבִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=NEH_4:6!5|MId=o160040060051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 יֹּשְׁבִ֖ים יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=were].dwelling|Ref=NEH_4:6!5|MId=o160040060052|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160040060042;|Type=participle_active 10-11 אֶצְלָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֶצְל אֵצֶל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=beside|Ref=NEH_4:6!6|MId=o160040060061|Strong=0681 11 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_4:6!6|MId=o160040060062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_4:6!7|MId=o160040060071|Strong=2050b 13 יֹּ֤אמְרוּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NEH_4:6!7|MId=o160040060072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:160040060042;A1:160040060122;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 לָ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 ל לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_4:6!8|MId=o160040060081|Strong=3807a 15 ָ֙נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=NEH_4:6!8|MId=o160040060082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 16 עֶ֣שֶׂר עֶשֶׂר NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 nummod _ Gloss=ten|Ref=NEH_4:6!9|MId=o160040060091|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 17 פְּעָמִ֔ים פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=times|Ref=NEH_4:6!10|MId=o160040060101|Strong=6471 18-19 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NEH_4:6!11|MId=o160040060111|Strong=4480 19 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 ccomp _ Gloss=all|Ref=NEH_4:6!11|MId=o160040060112|Strong=3605 20-21 הַמְּקֹמ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_4:6!12|MId=o160040060121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מְּקֹמ֖וֹת מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=places|Ref=NEH_4:6!12|MId=o160040060122|Strong=4725 22 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NEH_4:6!13|MId=o160040060131|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 23 תָּשׁ֥וּבוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.will.turn|Ref=NEH_4:6!14|MId=o160040060141|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:160010010021;160040040021;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 עָלֵֽינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 עָלֵֽי עַל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_4:6!15|MId=o160040060151|Strong=5921 25 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=NEH_4:6!15|MId=o160040060152|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NEH_4:6!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּאוּ *they came* | qatal · qal | יְּהוּדִים *Jews* | | | | | יֹּשְׁבִים *were\] dwelling* | participle active · qal | יְּהוּדִים *Jews* | | | | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְּהוּדִים *Jews* | מְּקֹמוֹת *places* | | | | תָּשׁוּבוּ *you will turn* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
