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 — commandments, prophets — and what happens in the verse to law, back, prophets, commandments, great provocations, 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. וַיַּמְר֨וּ וַֽיִּמְרְד֜וּ בָּ֗ךְ וַיַּשְׁלִ֤כוּ אֶת־תּוֹרָֽתְךָ֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י גַוָּ֔ם וְאֶת־נְבִיאֶ֣יךָ הָרָ֔גוּ אֲשֶׁר־הֵעִ֥ידוּ בָ֖ם לַהֲשִׁיבָ֣ם אֵלֶ֑יךָ וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ נֶאָצ֖וֹת גְּדוֹלֹֽת׃ [Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against Thee, and cast Thy law behind their back, and slew Thy prophets that did forewarn them to turn them back unto Thee, and they wrought great provocations.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.267/) ## 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:239 # text = וַיַּמְר֨וּ וַֽיִּמְרְד֜וּ בָּ֗ךְ וַיַּשְׁלִ֤כוּ אֶת־תּוֹרָֽתְךָ֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י גַוָּ֔ם וְאֶת־נְבִיאֶ֣יךָ הָרָ֔גוּ אֲשֶׁר־הֵעִ֥ידוּ בָ֖ם לַהֲשִׁיבָ֣ם אֵלֶ֑יךָ וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ נֶאָצ֖וֹת גְּדוֹלֹֽת׃ # verse = NEH.9.26 1-2 וַיַּמְר֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:26!1|MId=o160090260011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּמְר֨וּ מָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.were.disobedient|Ref=NEH_9:26!1|MId=o160090260012|Strong=4784|Frame=A0:160090240022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וַֽיִּמְרְד֜וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:26!2|MId=o160090260021|Strong=2050b 4 יִּמְרְד֜וּ מָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.rebelled|Ref=NEH_9:26!2|MId=o160090260022|Strong=4775|Frame=A0:160090240022;|Type=wayyiqtol 5-6 בָּ֗ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=NEH_9:26!3|MId=o160090260031|Strong=0871a 6 ָ֗ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_9:26!3|MId=o160090260032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-8 וַיַּשְׁלִ֤כוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:26!4|MId=o160090260041|Strong=2050b 8 יַּשְׁלִ֤כוּ שָׁלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.threw|Ref=NEH_9:26!4|MId=o160090260042|Strong=7993|Frame=AA:160090240022;A0:160090260061;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_9:26!5|MId=o160090260051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 תּוֹרָֽתְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 תּוֹרָֽת תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=law|Ref=NEH_9:26!6|MId=o160090260061|Strong=8451 11 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NEH_9:26!6|MId=o160090260062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12 אַחֲרֵ֣י אַחַר ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=behind|Ref=NEH_9:26!7|MId=o160090260071|Strong=0310 13-14 גַוָּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 גַוּ גַּו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=back|Ref=NEH_9:26!8|MId=o160090260081|Strong=1458 14 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NEH_9:26!8|MId=o160090260082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:26!9|MId=o160090260091|Strong=2050b 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_9:26!9|MId=o160090260092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17-18 נְבִיאֶ֣יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 נְבִיאֶ֣י נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=prophets|Ref=NEH_9:26!10|MId=o160090260101|Strong=5030 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NEH_9:26!10|MId=o160090260102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 הָרָ֔גוּ הָרַג VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.killed|Ref=NEH_9:26!11|MId=o160090260111|Strong=2026|Frame=A0:160090240022;A1:160090260101;|Type=qatal 20 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=NEH_9:26!12|MId=o160090260121|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 21 הֵעִ֥ידוּ עוּד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.had.warned|Ref=NEH_9:26!13|MId=o160090260131|Strong=5749a|Frame=A0:160090260101;|Type=qatal 22-23 בָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=NEH_9:26!14|MId=o160090260141|Strong=0871a 23 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_9:26!14|MId=o160090260142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-26 לַהֲשִׁיבָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_9:26!15|MId=o160090260151|Strong=3807a 25 הֲשִׁיב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 21 advcl _ Gloss=bring|Ref=NEH_9:26!15|MId=o160090260152|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:160090260101;A0:160090260153;|Type=infinitive_construct 26 ָ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=them.back|Ref=NEH_9:26!15|MId=o160090260153|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27-28 אֵלֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 אֵלֶ֑י אֶל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_9:26!16|MId=o160090260161|Strong=0413 28 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_9:26!16|MId=o160090260162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 29-30 וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:26!17|MId=o160090260171|Strong=2050b 30 יַּעֲשׂ֔וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.did|Ref=NEH_9:26!17|MId=o160090260172|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:160090240022;A1:160090260181;|Type=wayyiqtol 31 נֶאָצ֖וֹת נֶאָצָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 30 obj _ Gloss=blasphemies|Ref=NEH_9:26!18|MId=o160090260181|Strong=5007a 32 גְּדוֹלֹֽת גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 31 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=NEH_9:26!19|MId=o160090260191|Strong=1419|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=NEH_9:26!19 ``` ##
