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 — heads, LORD, children — and what happens in the verse to Law, booths, 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. וַֽיִּמְצְא֖וּ כָּת֣וּב בַּתּוֹרָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֲשֶׁר֩ יֵשְׁב֨וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֧ל בַּסֻּכּ֛וֹת בֶּחָ֖ג בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃ [And they found written in the Law, how that the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.235/) ## 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:209 # text = וַֽיִּמְצְא֖וּ כָּת֣וּב בַּתּוֹרָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֲשֶׁר֩ יֵשְׁב֨וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֧ל בַּסֻּכּ֛וֹת בֶּחָ֖ג בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃ # verse = NEH.8.14 1-2 וַֽיִּמְצְא֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_8:14!1|MId=o160080140011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּמְצְא֖וּ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.found|Ref=NEH_8:14!1|MId=o160080140012|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:160080130041;160080130082;160080130093;A1:160080140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כָּת֣וּב כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=written|Ref=NEH_8:14!2|MId=o160080140021|Strong=3789|Frame=A1:160080140101;|Type=participle_passive 4-6 בַּתּוֹרָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_8:14!3|MId=o160080140031|Strong=0871a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_8:14!3|MId=o160080140031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 תּוֹרָ֑ה תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=law|Ref=NEH_8:14!3|MId=o160080140032|Strong=8451 7 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NEH_8:14!4|MId=o160080140041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 8 צִוָּ֤ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.commanded|Ref=NEH_8:14!5|MId=o160080140051|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:160080140061;A1:160080140033;|Type=qatal 9 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NEH_8:14!6|MId=o160080140061|Strong=3068 10-11 בְּיַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NEH_8:14!7|MId=o160080140071|Strong=0871a 11 יַד־ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=NEH_8:14!7|MId=o160080140072|Strong=3027 12 מֹשֶׁ֔ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moses|Ref=NEH_8:14!8|MId=o160080140081|Strong=4872 13 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NEH_8:14!9|MId=o160080140091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 יֵשְׁב֨וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.will.dwell|Ref=NEH_8:14!10|MId=o160080140101|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160080140111;|Type=yiqtol 15 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NEH_8:14!11|MId=o160080140111|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֧ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NEH_8:14!12|MId=o160080140121|Strong=3478 17-19 בַּסֻּכּ֛וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_8:14!13|MId=o160080140131|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_8:14!13|MId=o160080140131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 סֻּכּ֛וֹת סֻכָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=booths|Ref=NEH_8:14!13|MId=o160080140132|Strong=5521 20-22 בֶּחָ֖ג _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=NEH_8:14!14|MId=o160080140141|Strong=0871a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_8:14!14|MId=o160080140141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 חָ֖ג חַג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=festival|Ref=NEH_8:14!14|MId=o160080140142|Strong=2282 23-25 בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_8:14!15|MId=o160080140151|Strong=0871a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_8:14!15|MId=o160080140151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 חֹ֥דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nmod _ Gloss=month|Ref=NEH_8:14!15|MId=o160080140152|Strong=2320 26-27 הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_8:14!16|MId=o160080140161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 שְּׁבִיעִֽי שְׁבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nummod _ Gloss=seventh|Ref=NEH_8:14!16|MId=o160080140162|Strong=7637|Type=ordinal_number 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NEH_8:14!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּמְצְאוּ *they found* | wayyiqtol · qal | | כָּתוּב *written* | | | | כָּתוּב *written* | participle passive · qal | | יֵשְׁבוּ *they will dwell* | | | | צִוָּה *he had commanded* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יֵשְׁבוּ *they will dwell* | yiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
