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, growth — and what happens in the verse to me, great deep, land, 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. כֹּ֤ה הִרְאַ֙נִי֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהִנֵּ֥ה קֹרֵ֛א לָרִ֥ב בָּאֵ֖שׁ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה וַתֹּ֙אכַל֙ אֶת־תְּה֣וֹם רַבָּ֔ה וְאָכְלָ֖ה אֶת־הַחֵֽלֶק׃ [Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/AMO.113/) ## 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:103 # text = כֹּ֤ה הִרְאַ֙נִי֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהִנֵּ֥ה קֹרֵ֛א לָרִ֥ב בָּאֵ֖שׁ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה וַתֹּ֙אכַל֙ אֶת־תְּה֣וֹם רַבָּ֔ה וְאָכְלָ֖ה אֶת־הַחֵֽלֶק׃ # verse = AMO.7.4 1 כֹּ֤ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=AMO_7:4!1|MId=o300070040011|Strong=3541 2-3 הִרְאַ֙נִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הִרְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=AMO_7:4!2|MId=o300070040021|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:300070040022;AA:300070040031;|Type=qatal 3 ַ֙נִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=showed.me|Ref=AMO_7:4!2|MId=o300070040022|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 4-5 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=AMO_7:4!3|MId=o300070040031|Strong=0136 5 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=AMO_7:4!3|MId=o300070040032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 4 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=AMO_7:4!4|MId=o300070040041|Strong=3069 7-8 וְהִנֵּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_7:4!5|MId=o300070040051|Strong=2050b 8 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=AMO_7:4!5|MId=o300070040052|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 9 קֹרֵ֛א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].calling|Ref=AMO_7:4!6|MId=o300070040061|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:300070040091;|Type=participle_active 10-11 לָרִ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=AMO_7:4!7|MId=o300070040071|Strong=3807a 11 רִ֥ב רִיב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 advcl _ Gloss=conducting.a.case|Ref=AMO_7:4!7|MId=o300070040072|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:300070040091;|Type=infinitive_construct 12-14 בָּאֵ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=AMO_7:4!8|MId=o300070040081|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=AMO_7:4!8|MId=o300070040081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֵ֖שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=AMO_7:4!8|MId=o300070040082|Strong=0784 15-16 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=AMO_7:4!9|MId=o300070040091|Strong=0136 16 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=AMO_7:4!9|MId=o300070040092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 יְהוִ֑ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 15 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=AMO_7:4!10|MId=o300070040101|Strong=3069 18-19 וַתֹּ֙אכַל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_7:4!11|MId=o300070040111|Strong=2050b 19 תֹּ֙אכַל֙ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.consumed|Ref=AMO_7:4!11|MId=o300070040112|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:300070040083;A1:300070040131;|Type=wayyiqtol 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=AMO_7:4!12|MId=o300070040121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21 תְּה֣וֹם תְּהוֹם NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=the.deep|Ref=AMO_7:4!13|MId=o300070040131|Strong=8415 22 רַבָּ֔ה רַב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=AMO_7:4!14|MId=o300070040141|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 23-24 וְאָכְלָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_7:4!15|MId=o300070040151|Strong=2050b 24 אָכְלָ֖ה אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 conj _ Gloss=it.consumed|Ref=AMO_7:4!15|MId=o300070040152|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:300070040083;A1:300070040172;|Type=weqatal 25 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=AMO_7:4!16|MId=o300070040161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 הַחֵֽלֶק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the.portion|Ref=AMO_7:4!17|MId=o300070040171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 חֵֽלֶק חֵלֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=of.land|Ref=AMO_7:4!17|MId=o300070040172|Strong=2506 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=AMO_7:4!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִרְא *he* | qatal · hiphil | ַנִי *showed me* | | | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | קֹרֵא *\[was\] calling* | participle active · qal | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | | | | רִב *conducting a case* | infinitive construct · qal | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | | | | תֹּאכַל *it consumed* | wayyiqtol · qal | | תְּהוֹם *the deep* | | | | אָכְלָה *it consumed* | weqatal · qal | | חֵֽלֶק *of land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
