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 — these, children — and what happens in the verse to children, Tel melah, houses, 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. וְאֵ֗לֶּה הָֽעוֹלִים֙ מִתֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א כְּר֥וּב אַדּ֖וֹן וְאִמֵּ֑ר וְלֹ֣א יָכְל֗וּ לְהַגִּ֤יד בֵּית־אֲבוֹתָם֙ וְזַרְעָ֔ם אִ֥ם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽם׃ [And these were they that went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not tell their fathers' houses, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.206/) ## 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:184 # text = וְאֵ֗לֶּה הָֽעוֹלִים֙ מִתֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א כְּר֥וּב אַדּ֖וֹן וְאִמֵּ֑ר וְלֹ֣א יָכְל֗וּ לְהַגִּ֤יד בֵּית־אֲבוֹתָם֙ וְזַרְעָ֔ם אִ֥ם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽם׃ # verse = NEH.7.61 1-2 וְאֵ֗לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:61!1|MId=o160070610011|Strong=2050b 2 אֵ֗לֶּה אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=these|Ref=NEH_7:61!1|MId=o160070610012|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 3-4 הָֽעוֹלִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=[are].the|Ref=NEH_7:61!2|MId=o160070610021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 עוֹלִים֙ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[ones.who].came.up|Ref=NEH_7:61!2|MId=o160070610022|Strong=5927|Type=participle_active 5-6 מִתֵּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NEH_7:61!3|MId=o160070610031|Strong=4480 6 תֵּ֥ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Tel|Ref=NEH_7:61!3|MId=o160070610032 7 מֶ֙לַח֙ מֶלַח PROPN _ _ 6 flat:name _ Ref=NEH_7:61!3 8 תֵּ֥ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Melah|Ref=NEH_7:61!4|MId=o160070610041 9 מֶ֙לַח֙ מֶלַח PROPN _ _ 8 flat:name _ Ref=NEH_7:61!4 10 תֵּ֣ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Tel|Ref=NEH_7:61!5|MId=o160070610051 11 חַרְשָׁ֔א חַרְשָׁא PROPN _ _ 10 flat:name _ Ref=NEH_7:61!5 12 תֵּ֣ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Harsha|Ref=NEH_7:61!6|MId=o160070610061 13 חַרְשָׁ֔א חַרְשָׁא PROPN _ _ 12 flat:name _ Ref=NEH_7:61!6 14 כְּר֥וּב כְּרוּב PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Kerub|Ref=NEH_7:61!7|MId=o160070610071|Strong=3743 15 אַדּ֖וֹן אַדּוֹן PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Addon|Ref=NEH_7:61!8|MId=o160070610081|Strong=0114 16-17 וְאִמֵּ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:61!9|MId=o160070610091|Strong=2050b 17 אִמֵּ֑ר אִמֵּר PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Immer|Ref=NEH_7:61!9|MId=o160070610092|Strong=0564a 18-19 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:61!10|MId=o160070610101|Strong=2050b 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_7:61!10|MId=o160070610102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 יָכְל֗וּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.able|Ref=NEH_7:61!11|MId=o160070610111|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:160070610022;|Type=qatal 21-22 לְהַגִּ֤יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_7:61!12|MId=o160070610121|Strong=3807a 22 הַגִּ֤יד נָגַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 20 xcomp _ Gloss=declare|Ref=NEH_7:61!12|MId=o160070610122|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:160070610022;A0:160070610152;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 dislocated _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=NEH_7:61!13|MId=o160070610131|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 אֲבוֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֲבוֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.ancestors|Ref=NEH_7:61!14|MId=o160070610141|Strong=0001 25 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NEH_7:61!14|MId=o160070610142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26-28 וְזַרְעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:61!15|MId=o160070610151|Strong=2050b 27 זַרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=offspring|Ref=NEH_7:61!15|MId=o160070610152|Strong=2233 28 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NEH_7:61!15|MId=o160070610153|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 29 אִ֥ם אִם SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=NEH_7:61!16|MId=o160070610161|Strong=0518 30-31 מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=[were].from|Ref=NEH_7:61!17|MId=o160070610171|Strong=4480 31 יִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 22 ccomp _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=NEH_7:61!17|MId=o160070610172|Strong=3478 32 הֵֽם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=NEH_7:61!18|MId=o160070610181|Strong=1992|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=NEH_7:61!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָכְלוּ *they were able* | qatal · qal | עוֹלִים *\[ones who\] came up* | | | | | הַגִּיד *declare* | infinitive construct · hiphil | זַרְע *offspring* | | | עוֹלִים *\[ones who\] came up* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
