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 — Lord GOD, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse to pride, palaces, city, Jacob, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 9 chapters of Amos on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. נִשְׁבַּע֩ אֲדֹנָ֨י יְהוִ֜ה בְּנַפְשׁ֗וֹ נְאֻם־יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י צְבָא֔וֹת מְתָאֵ֤ב אָֽנֹכִי֙ אֶת־גְּא֣וֹן יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וְאַרְמְנֹתָ֖יו שָׂנֵ֑אתִי וְהִסְגַּרְתִּ֖י עִ֥יר וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃ [The Lord GOD hath sworn by Himself, saith the LORD, the God of hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/AMO.102/) ## 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:AMO:93 # text = נִשְׁבַּע֩ אֲדֹנָ֨י יְהוִ֜ה בְּנַפְשׁ֗וֹ נְאֻם־יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י צְבָא֔וֹת מְתָאֵ֤ב אָֽנֹכִי֙ אֶת־גְּא֣וֹן יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וְאַרְמְנֹתָ֖יו שָׂנֵ֑אתִי וְהִסְגַּרְתִּ֖י עִ֥יר וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃ # verse = AMO.6.8 1 נִשְׁבַּע֩ שָׁבַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.sworn|Ref=AMO_6:8!1|MId=o300060080011|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:300060080021;|Type=qatal 2-3 אֲדֹנָ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=AMO_6:8!2|MId=o300060080021|Strong=0136 3 ָ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=AMO_6:8!2|MId=o300060080022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4 יְהוִ֜ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=AMO_6:8!3|MId=o300060080031|Strong=3069 5-7 בְּנַפְשׁ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=AMO_6:8!4|MId=o300060080041|Strong=0871a 6 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=self|Ref=AMO_6:8!4|MId=o300060080042|Strong=5315 7 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=AMO_6:8!4|MId=o300060080043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=AMO_6:8!5|MId=o300060080051|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 9 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=AMO_6:8!6|MId=o300060080061|Strong=3068 10 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=AMO_6:8!7|MId=o300060080071|Strong=0430 11 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=AMO_6:8!8|MId=o300060080081|Strong=6635 12 מְתָאֵ֤ב תָּאַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].loathing|Ref=AMO_6:8!9|MId=o300060080091|Strong=8374|Frame=A0:300060080101;A1:300060080121;|Type=participle_active 13 אָֽנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=AMO_6:8!10|MId=o300060080101|Strong=0595|Type=personal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=AMO_6:8!11|MId=o300060080111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 גְּא֣וֹן גָּאוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=the.pride|Ref=AMO_6:8!12|MId=o300060080121|Strong=1347 16 יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=AMO_6:8!13|MId=o300060080131|Strong=3290 17-19 וְאַרְמְנֹתָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_6:8!14|MId=o300060080141|Strong=2050b 18 אַרְמְנֹתָ֖י אַרְמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 obj _ Gloss=fortresses|Ref=AMO_6:8!14|MId=o300060080142|Strong=0759 19 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=AMO_6:8!14|MId=o300060080143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 שָׂנֵ֑אתִי שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=I.hate|Ref=AMO_6:8!15|MId=o300060080151|Strong=8130|Frame=A0:300060080061;A1:300060080142;|Type=qatal 21-22 וְהִסְגַּרְתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_6:8!16|MId=o300060080161|Strong=2050b 22 הִסְגַּרְתִּ֖י סָגַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=I.will.deliver.up|Ref=AMO_6:8!16|MId=o300060080162|Strong=5462|Frame=AA:300060080061;A0:300060080171;300060080182;|Type=weqatal 23 עִ֥יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=[the].city|Ref=AMO_6:8!17|MId=o300060080171|Strong=5892 24-26 וּמְלֹאָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_6:8!18|MId=o300060080181|Strong=2050b 25 מְלֹא מְלֹא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=what|Ref=AMO_6:8!18|MId=o300060080182|Strong=4393 26 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=fills.it|Ref=AMO_6:8!18|MId=o300060080183|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=AMO_6:8!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִשְׁבַּע *he has sworn* | qatal · niphal | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | | | | מְתָאֵב *\[am\] loathing* | participle active · piel | אָֽנֹכִי *I* | גְּאוֹן *the pride* | | | | שָׂנֵאתִי *I hate* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | אַרְמְנֹתָי *fortresses* | | | | הִסְגַּרְתִּי *I will deliver up* | weqatal · hiphil | עִיר *\[the\] city* + מְלֹא *what* | | | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
