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, God — and what happens in the verse to LORD, Abram, Ur, name, Abraham, 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. אַתָּה־הוּא֙ יְהוָ֣ה הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּחַ֙רְתָּ֙ בְּאַבְרָ֔ם וְהוֹצֵאת֖וֹ מֵא֣וּר כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים וְשַׂ֥מְתָּ שְּׁמ֖וֹ אַבְרָהָֽם׃ [Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.248/) ## 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:220 # text = אַתָּה־הוּא֙ יְהוָ֣ה הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּחַ֙רְתָּ֙ בְּאַבְרָ֔ם וְהוֹצֵאת֖וֹ מֵא֣וּר כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים וְשַׂ֥מְתָּ שְּׁמ֖וֹ אַבְרָהָֽם׃ # verse = NEH.9.7 1 אַתָּה־ אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_9:7!1|MId=o160090070011|Strong=0859|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 2 הוּא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=NEH_9:7!2|MId=o160090070021|Strong=1931|Type=personal 3 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=[are].Yahweh|Ref=NEH_9:7!3|MId=o160090070031|Strong=3068 4-5 הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_9:7!4|MId=o160090070041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=NEH_9:7!4|MId=o160090070042|Strong=0430 6 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=NEH_9:7!5|MId=o160090070051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 בָּחַ֙רְתָּ֙ בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.chose|Ref=NEH_9:7!6|MId=o160090070061|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:160090070031;|Type=qatal 8-9 בְּאַבְרָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=NEH_9:7!7|MId=o160090070071|Strong=0871a 9 אַבְרָ֔ם אַבְרָם PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Abram|Ref=NEH_9:7!7|MId=o160090070072|Strong=0087 10-12 וְהוֹצֵאת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:7!8|MId=o160090070081|Strong=2050b 11 הוֹצֵאת יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NEH_9:7!8|MId=o160090070082|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:160090070031;A0:160090070083;|Type=qatal 12 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=brought.him.out|Ref=NEH_9:7!8|MId=o160090070083|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 מֵא֣וּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NEH_9:7!9|MId=o160090070091|Strong=4480 14 א֣וּר אוּר PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Ur|Ref=NEH_9:7!9|MId=o160090070092|Strong=0218a 15 כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים כַּשְׂדִּים PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Chaldeans|Ref=NEH_9:7!10|MId=o160090070101|Strong=3778 16-17 וְשַׂ֥מְתָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_9:7!11|MId=o160090070111|Strong=2050b 17 שַׂ֥מְתָּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=you.made|Ref=NEH_9:7!11|MId=o160090070112|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:160090070031;A1:160090070121;|Type=qatal 18-19 שְּׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שְּׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=NEH_9:7!12|MId=o160090070121|Strong=8034 19 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NEH_9:7!12|MId=o160090070122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 אַבְרָהָֽם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 17 xcomp _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=NEH_9:7!13|MId=o160090070131|Strong=0085|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=NEH_9:7!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּחַרְתָּ *you chose* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *\[are\] Yahweh* | | | | | הוֹצֵאת *you* | qatal · hiphil | וֹ *brought him out* | | | יְהוָה *\[are\] Yahweh* | | שַׂמְתָּ *you made* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *\[are\] Yahweh* | שְּׁמ *name* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
