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 — Stedfast righteousness, righteousness — and what happens in the verse to evil, own death, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 31 chapters of Proverbs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. כֵּן־צְדָקָ֥ה לְחַיִּ֑ים וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף רָעָ֣ה לְמוֹתֽוֹ׃ [Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.309/) ## 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:PRO:306 # text = כֵּן־צְדָקָ֥ה לְחַיִּ֑ים וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף רָעָ֣ה לְמוֹתֽוֹ׃ # verse = PRO.11.19 1 כֵּן־ כֵּן ADJ _ PronType=Dem 4 nsubj _ Gloss=true|Ref=PRO_11:19!1|MId=o200110190011|Strong=3651a|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 2 צְדָקָ֥ה צְדָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=PRO_11:19!2|MId=o200110190021|Strong=6666 3-4 לְחַיִּ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=[is].to|Ref=PRO_11:19!3|MId=o200110190031|Strong=3807a 4 חַיִּ֑ים חַיִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=life|Ref=PRO_11:19!3|MId=o200110190032|Strong=2416 5-6 וּמְרַדֵּ֖ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PRO_11:19!4|MId=o200110190041|Strong=2050b 6 מְרַדֵּ֖ף רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=[one.who].pursues|Ref=PRO_11:19!4|MId=o200110190042|Strong=7291|Frame=A1:200110190051;|Type=participle_active 7 רָעָ֣ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=evil|Ref=PRO_11:19!5|MId=o200110190051|Strong=7451b 8-10 לְמוֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[is].to|Ref=PRO_11:19!6|MId=o200110190061|Strong=3807a 9 מוֹת מָוֶת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=his.own|Ref=PRO_11:19!6|MId=o200110190062|Strong=4194 10 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=death|Ref=PRO_11:19!6|MId=o200110190063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=PRO_11:19!6 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מְרַדֵּף *\[one who\] pursues* | participle active · piel | | רָעָה *evil* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
