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 — land, Thou, sins, we — and what happens in the verse to much increase, kings, power, bodies, great distress, 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. וּתְבוּאָתָ֣הּ מַרְבָּ֗ה לַמְּלָכִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תָּה עָלֵ֖ינוּ בְּחַטֹּאותֵ֑ינוּ וְעַ֣ל גְּ֠וִיֹּתֵינוּ מֹשְׁלִ֤ים וּבִבְהֶמְתֵּ֙נוּ֙ כִּרְצוֹנָ֔ם וּבְצָרָ֥ה גְדוֹלָ֖ה אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃פ [And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom Thou hast set over us because of our sins; also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.278/) ## 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:250 # text = וּתְבוּאָתָ֣הּ מַרְבָּ֗ה לַמְּלָכִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תָּה עָלֵ֖ינוּ בְּחַטֹּאותֵ֑ינוּ וְעַ֣ל גְּ֠וִיֹּתֵינוּ מֹשְׁלִ֤ים וּבִבְהֶמְתֵּ֙נוּ֙ כִּרְצוֹנָ֔ם וּבְצָרָ֥ה גְדוֹלָ֖ה אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃פ # verse = NEH.9.37 1-3 וּתְבוּאָתָ֣הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:37!1|MId=o160090370011|Strong=2050b 2 תְבוּאָת תְּבוּאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=produce|Ref=NEH_9:37!1|MId=o160090370012|Strong=8393 3 ָ֣הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=NEH_9:37!1|MId=o160090370013|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 4 מַרְבָּ֗ה רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].increasing|Ref=NEH_9:37!2|MId=o160090370021|Strong=7235|Frame=AA:160090360053;A0:160090370012;|Type=participle_active 5-7 לַמְּלָכִ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NEH_9:37!3|MId=o160090370031|Strong=3807a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_9:37!3|MId=o160090370031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מְּלָכִ֛ים מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=kings|Ref=NEH_9:37!3|MId=o160090370032|Strong=4428 8 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=NEH_9:37!4|MId=o160090370041|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 9 נָתַ֥תָּה נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.have.appointed|Ref=NEH_9:37!5|MId=o160090370051|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:160090320021;A1:160090370033;|Type=qatal 10-11 עָלֵ֖ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עָלֵ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NEH_9:37!6|MId=o160090370061|Strong=5921 11 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=NEH_9:37!6|MId=o160090370062|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 12-14 בְּחַטֹּאותֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_9:37!7|MId=o160090370071|Strong=0871a 13 חַטֹּאותֵ֑י חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=sins|Ref=NEH_9:37!7|MId=o160090370072|Strong=2403 14 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NEH_9:37!7|MId=o160090370073|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וְעַ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:37!8|MId=o160090370081|Strong=2050b 16 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NEH_9:37!8|MId=o160090370082|Strong=5921 17-18 גְּ֠וִיֹּתֵינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 גְּ֠וִיֹּתֵי גְּוִיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=bodies|Ref=NEH_9:37!9|MId=o160090370091|Strong=1472 18 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NEH_9:37!9|MId=o160090370092|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19 מֹשְׁלִ֤ים מָשַׁל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=[they.are].ruling|Ref=NEH_9:37!10|MId=o160090370101|Strong=4910|Frame=A0:160090370033;|Type=participle_active 20-23 וּבִבְהֶמְתֵּ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:37!11|MId=o160090370111|Strong=2050b 21 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NEH_9:37!11|MId=o160090370112|Strong=0871a 22 בְהֶמְתּ בְּהֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=cattle|Ref=NEH_9:37!11|MId=o160090370113|Strong=0929 23 ֵ֙נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NEH_9:37!11|MId=o160090370114|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 24-26 כִּרְצוֹנָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=NEH_9:37!12|MId=o160090370121|Strong=3509a 25 רְצוֹנ רָצוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_9:37!12|MId=o160090370122|Strong=7522 26 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their.will|Ref=NEH_9:37!12|MId=o160090370123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27-29 וּבְצָרָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and.[are]|Ref=NEH_9:37!13|MId=o160090370131|Strong=2050b 28 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_9:37!13|MId=o160090370132|Strong=0871a 29 צָרָ֥ה צָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=distress|Ref=NEH_9:37!13|MId=o160090370133|Strong=6869 30 גְדוֹלָ֖ה גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=NEH_9:37!14|MId=o160090370141|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 31 אֲנָֽחְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=NEH_9:37!15|MId=o160090370151|Strong=0587|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=NEH_9:37!15|SpaceAfter=No 33 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=NEH_9:37!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
