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 — Thou, commandments — and what happens in the verse to mercy, commandments, prophets, ear, hand, 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. וַתִּמְשֹׁ֤ךְ עֲלֵיהֶם֙ שָׁנִ֣ים רַבּ֔וֹת וַתָּ֨עַד בָּ֧ם בְּרוּחֲךָ֛ בְּיַד־נְבִיאֶ֖יךָ וְלֹ֣א הֶאֱזִ֑ינוּ וַֽתִּתְּנֵ֔ם בְּיַ֖ד עַמֵּ֥י הָאֲרָצֹֽת׃ [Yet many years didst Thou extend mercy unto them, and didst forewarn them by Thy spirit through Thy prophets; yet would they not give ear; therefore gavest Thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.271/) ## 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:243 # text = וַתִּמְשֹׁ֤ךְ עֲלֵיהֶם֙ שָׁנִ֣ים רַבּ֔וֹת וַתָּ֨עַד בָּ֧ם בְּרוּחֲךָ֛ בְּיַד־נְבִיאֶ֖יךָ וְלֹ֣א הֶאֱזִ֑ינוּ וַֽתִּתְּנֵ֔ם בְּיַ֖ד עַמֵּ֥י הָאֲרָצֹֽת׃ # verse = NEH.9.30 1-2 וַתִּמְשֹׁ֤ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:30!1|MId=o160090300011|Strong=2050b 2 תִּמְשֹׁ֤ךְ מָשַׁךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.prolonged|Ref=NEH_9:30!1|MId=o160090300012|Strong=4900|Frame=A0:160090070031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 עֲלֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=NEH_9:30!2|MId=o160090300021|Strong=5921 4 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_9:30!2|MId=o160090300022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 שָׁנִ֣ים שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=years|Ref=NEH_9:30!3|MId=o160090300031|Strong=8141 6 רַבּ֔וֹת רַב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 amod _ Gloss=many|Ref=NEH_9:30!4|MId=o160090300041|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 7-8 וַתָּ֨עַד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:30!5|MId=o160090300051|Strong=2050b 8 תָּ֨עַד עוּד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.warned|Ref=NEH_9:30!5|MId=o160090300052|Strong=5749a|Frame=A0:160090070031;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 בָּ֧ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=NEH_9:30!6|MId=o160090300061|Strong=0871a 10 ָ֧ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NEH_9:30!6|MId=o160090300062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-13 בְּרוּחֲךָ֛ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NEH_9:30!7|MId=o160090300071|Strong=0871a 12 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=NEH_9:30!7|MId=o160090300072|Strong=7307 13 ֲךָ֛ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NEH_9:30!7|MId=o160090300073|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-15 בְּיַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NEH_9:30!8|MId=o160090300081|Strong=0871a 15 יַד־ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=NEH_9:30!8|MId=o160090300082|Strong=3027 16-17 נְבִיאֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 נְבִיאֶ֖י נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.prophets|Ref=NEH_9:30!9|MId=o160090300091|Strong=5030 17 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NEH_9:30!9|MId=o160090300092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:30!10|MId=o160090300101|Strong=2050b 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_9:30!10|MId=o160090300102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 הֶאֱזִ֑ינוּ אָזַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.gave.ear|Ref=NEH_9:30!11|MId=o160090300111|Strong=0238|Frame=A0:160090240022;|Type=qatal 21-23 וַֽתִּתְּנֵ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:30!12|MId=o160090300121|Strong=2050b 22 תִּתְּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_9:30!12|MId=o160090300122|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:160090070031;A1:160090300123;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 ֵ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=gave.them|Ref=NEH_9:30!12|MId=o160090300123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-25 בְּיַ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_9:30!13|MId=o160090300131|Strong=0871a 25 יַ֖ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=NEH_9:30!13|MId=o160090300132|Strong=3027 26 עַמֵּ֥י עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.peoples|Ref=NEH_9:30!14|MId=o160090300141|Strong=5971 27-28 הָאֲרָצֹֽת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_9:30!15|MId=o160090300151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אֲרָצֹֽת אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Plur 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.lands|Ref=NEH_9:30!15|MId=o160090300152|Strong=0776 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=NEH_9:30!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּמְשֹׁךְ *you prolonged* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תָּעַד *you warned* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | **not** הֶאֱזִינוּ *they gave ear* | qatal · hiphil | | | | | | תִּתְּנ *you* | wayyiqtol · qal | | ֵם *gave them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
