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, such things, thou — and what happens in the verse to such things, things, own heart, 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. וָאֶשְׁלְחָ֤ה אֵלָיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹ֤א נִֽהְיָה֙ כַּדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַתָּ֣ה אוֹמֵ֑ר כִּ֥י מִֽלִּבְּךָ֖ אַתָּ֥ה בוֹדָֽאם׃ [Then I sent unto him, saying: 'There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.130/) ## 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:112 # text = וָאֶשְׁלְחָ֤ה אֵלָיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹ֤א נִֽהְיָה֙ כַּדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַתָּ֣ה אוֹמֵ֑ר כִּ֥י מִֽלִּבְּךָ֖ אַתָּ֥ה בוֹדָֽאם׃ # verse = NEH.6.8 1-3 וָאֶשְׁלְחָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_6:8!1|MId=o160060080011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶשְׁלְח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=NEH_6:8!1|MId=o160060080012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:160010010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ָ֤ה ה X _ _ 2 nmod _ Gloss=sent|Ref=NEH_6:8!1|MId=o160060080013|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 4-5 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_6:8!2|MId=o160060080021|Strong=0413 5 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NEH_6:8!2|MId=o160060080022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-7 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 12 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NEH_6:8!3|MId=o160060080031|Strong=3807a 7 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=NEH_6:8!3|MId=o160060080032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:160010010021;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_6:8!4|MId=o160060080041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 9 נִֽהְיָה֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 cop _ Gloss=it.has.occurred|Ref=NEH_6:8!5|MId=o160060080051|Strong=1961|Type=qatal 10-12 כַּדְּבָרִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=NEH_6:8!6|MId=o160060080061|Strong=3509a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_6:8!6|MId=o160060080061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 דְּבָרִ֣ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 advcl _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=NEH_6:8!6|MId=o160060080062|Strong=1697 13-14 הָאֵ֔לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_6:8!7|MId=o160060080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֵ֔לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 12 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=NEH_6:8!7|MId=o160060080072|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 15 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NEH_6:8!8|MId=o160060080081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_6:8!9|MId=o160060080091|Strong=0859|Type=personal 17 אוֹמֵ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].saying|Ref=NEH_6:8!10|MId=o160060080101|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:160060080091;A1:160060080063;|Type=participle_active 18 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NEH_6:8!11|MId=o160060080111|Strong=3588 19-21 מִֽלִּבְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִֽ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NEH_6:8!12|MId=o160060080121|Strong=4480 20 לִּבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=heart|Ref=NEH_6:8!12|MId=o160060080122|Strong=3820 21 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NEH_6:8!12|MId=o160060080123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22 אַתָּ֥ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_6:8!13|MId=o160060080131|Strong=0859|Type=personal 23-24 בוֹדָֽאם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בוֹדָֽא בָּדָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=[are].inventing|Ref=NEH_6:8!14|MId=o160060080141|Strong=0908|Frame=A0:160060080131;A1:160060080142;|Type=participle_active 24 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_6:8!14|MId=o160060080142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NEH_6:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶשְׁלְח *I* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | אוֹמֵר *\[are\] saying* | participle active · qal | אַתָּה *you* | | | | | בוֹדָֽא *\[are\] inventing* | participle active · qal | אַתָּה *you* | ם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
