Nehemiah 5:7 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.5.7/) [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 5](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/NEH/5/) / 5:7 # Nehemiah 5:7 נְחֶמְיָה **Who acts:** I, Ye · **What happens:** consult, contend, say, lend, hold · **To what, where:** one, great assembly · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Nehemiah 5:7 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 — I, Ye — and what happens in the verse to one, great 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. וַיִּמָּלֵ֨ךְ לִבִּ֜י עָלַ֗י וָאָרִ֙יבָה֙ אֶת־הַחֹרִ֣ים וְאֶת־הַסְּגָנִ֔ים וָאֹמְרָ֣ה לָהֶ֔ם מַשָּׁ֥אאִישׁ־בְּאָחִ֖יו אַתֶּ֣ם נשאיםוָאֶתֵּ֥ן עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם קְהִלָּ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה׃ [Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them: 'Ye lend upon pledge, every one to his brother.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:NEH:92 # text = וַיִּמָּלֵ֨ךְ לִבִּ֜י עָלַ֗י וָאָרִ֙יבָה֙ אֶת־הַחֹרִ֣ים וְאֶת־הַסְּגָנִ֔ים וָאֹמְרָ֣ה לָהֶ֔ם מַשָּׁ֥אאִישׁ־בְּאָחִ֖יו אַתֶּ֣ם נשאיםוָאֶתֵּ֥ן עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם קְהִלָּ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה׃ # verse = NEH.5.7 1-2 וַיִּמָּלֵ֨ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_5:7!1|MId=o160050070011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּמָּלֵ֨ךְ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.considered|Ref=NEH_5:7!1|MId=o160050070012|Strong=4427a|Frame=A0:160050070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לִבִּ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=NEH_5:7!2|MId=o160050070021|Strong=3820 4 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NEH_5:7!2|MId=o160050070022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5-6 עָלַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NEH_5:7!3|MId=o160050070031|Strong=5921 6 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NEH_5:7!3|MId=o160050070032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-9 וָאָרִ֙יבָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_5:7!4|MId=o160050070041|Strong=2050b 8 אָרִ֙יב רִיב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=NEH_5:7!4|MId=o160050070042|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:160010010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 ָה֙ ה X _ _ 8 nmod _ Gloss=contended|Ref=NEH_5:7!4|MId=o160050070043|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NEH_5:7!5|MId=o160050070051|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַחֹרִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_5:7!6|MId=o160050070061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 חֹרִ֣ים חֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=nobles|Ref=NEH_5:7!6|MId=o160050070062|Strong=2715 13-14 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_5:7!7|MId=o160050070071|Strong=2050b 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NEH_5:7!7|MId=o160050070072|Strong=0854 15-16 הַסְּגָנִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_5:7!8|MId=o160050070081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 סְּגָנִ֔ים סָגָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=officials|Ref=NEH_5:7!8|MId=o160050070082|Strong=5461 17-19 וָאֹמְרָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_5:7!9|MId=o160050070091|Strong=2050b 18 אֹמְר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=NEH_5:7!9|MId=o160050070092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:160010010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 ָ֣ה ה X _ _ 18 nmod _ Gloss=said|Ref=NEH_5:7!9|MId=o160050070093|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 20-21 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_5:7!10|MId=o160050070101|Strong=3807a 21 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_5:7!10|MId=o160050070102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 מַשָּׁ֥אאִישׁ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מַשָּׁ֥א מַשָּׁא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=usury|Ref=NEH_5:7!11|MId=o160050070111|Strong=4855 23 אִישׁ־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=NEH_5:7!12|MId=o160050070121|Strong=0376 24-26 בְּאָחִ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NEH_5:7!13|MId=o160050070131|Strong=0871a 25 אָחִ֖י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nmod _ Gloss=brother|Ref=NEH_5:7!13|MId=o160050070132|Strong=0251 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NEH_5:7!13|MId=o160050070133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 אַתֶּ֣ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_5:7!14|MId=o160050070141|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 28-30 נשאיםוָאֶתֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 נשאים נשׁא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 18 ccomp _ Gloss=[are].lending|Ref=NEH_5:7!16|MId=o160050070161|Strong=5378|Frame=A1:160050070111;A0:160050070141;|Type=participle_active 29 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_5:7!17|MId=o160050070171|Strong=2050b 30 אֶתֵּ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.made|Ref=NEH_5:7!17|MId=o160050070172|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:160010010021;A1:160050070191;|Type=wayyiqtol 31-32 עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NEH_5:7!18|MId=o160050070181|Strong=5921 32 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_5:7!18|MId=o160050070182|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 33 קְהִלָּ֥ה קְהִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 30 obj _ Gloss=an.assembly|Ref=NEH_5:7!19|MId=o160050070191|Strong=6952 34 גְדוֹלָֽה גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 33 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=NEH_5:7!20|MId=o160050070201|Strong=1419|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=NEH_5:7!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
