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 — days, Lord GOD, I — and what happens in the verse to famine, land, LORD, 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. הִנֵּ֣ה ׀ יָמִ֣ים בָּאִ֗ים נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּ֥י רָעָ֖ב בָּאָ֑רֶץ לֹֽא־רָעָ֤ב לַלֶּ֙חֶם֙ וְלֹֽא־צָמָ֣א לַמַּ֔יִם כִּ֣י אִם־לִשְׁמֹ֔עַ אֵ֖ת דִּבְרֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/AMO.138/) ## 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:127 # text = הִנֵּ֣ה ׀ יָמִ֣ים בָּאִ֗ים נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּ֥י רָעָ֖ב בָּאָ֑רֶץ לֹֽא־רָעָ֤ב לַלֶּ֙חֶם֙ וְלֹֽא־צָמָ֣א לַמַּ֔יִם כִּ֣י אִם־לִשְׁמֹ֔עַ אֵ֖ת דִּבְרֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = AMO.8.11 1 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 4 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=AMO_8:11!1|MId=o300080110011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=AMO_8:11!1 3 יָמִ֣ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=days|Ref=AMO_8:11!2|MId=o300080110021|Strong=3117 4 בָּאִ֗ים בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].coming|Ref=AMO_8:11!3|MId=o300080110031|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:300080110021;|Type=participle_active 5 נְאֻם֙ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=AMO_8:11!4|MId=o300080110041|Strong=5002 6-7 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=AMO_8:11!5|MId=o300080110051|Strong=0136 7 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=AMO_8:11!5|MId=o300080110052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 6 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=AMO_8:11!6|MId=o300080110061|Strong=3069 9-10 וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_8:11!7|MId=o300080110071|Strong=2050b 10 הִשְׁלַחְתִּ֥י שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.will.send|Ref=AMO_8:11!7|MId=o300080110072|Strong=7971|Frame=AA:300080110051;A0:300080110081;|Type=weqatal 11 רָעָ֖ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=a.famine|Ref=AMO_8:11!8|MId=o300080110081|Strong=7458 12-14 בָּאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=AMO_8:11!9|MId=o300080110091|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=AMO_8:11!9|MId=o300080110091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=AMO_8:11!9|MId=o300080110092|Strong=0776 15 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 10 parataxis _ Gloss=not|Ref=AMO_8:11!10|MId=o300080110101|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 16 רָעָ֤ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=a.famine|Ref=AMO_8:11!11|MId=o300080110111|Strong=7458 17-19 לַלֶּ֙חֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=AMO_8:11!12|MId=o300080110121|Strong=3807a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=AMO_8:11!12|MId=o300080110121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 לֶּ֙חֶם֙ לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=bread|Ref=AMO_8:11!12|MId=o300080110122|Strong=3899 20-21 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_8:11!13|MId=o300080110131|Strong=2050b 21 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 15 conj _ Gloss=not|Ref=AMO_8:11!13|MId=o300080110132|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 צָמָ֣א צָמָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=a.thirst|Ref=AMO_8:11!14|MId=o300080110141|Strong=6772 23-25 לַמַּ֔יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=AMO_8:11!15|MId=o300080110151|Strong=3807a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=AMO_8:11!15|MId=o300080110151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 מַּ֔יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=water|Ref=AMO_8:11!15|MId=o300080110152|Strong=4325 26 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ ExtPos=SCONJ 29 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=AMO_8:11!16|MId=o300080110161|Strong=3588 27 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 26 fixed _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=AMO_8:11!17|MId=o300080110171|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 לִשְׁמֹ֔עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=AMO_8:11!18|MId=o300080110181|Strong=3807a 29 שְׁמֹ֔עַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 parataxis _ Gloss=hearing|Ref=AMO_8:11!18|MId=o300080110182|Strong=8085|Frame=A1:300080110201;A0:300080070041;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=AMO_8:11!19|MId=o300080110191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 31 דִּבְרֵ֥י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 obj _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=AMO_8:11!20|MId=o300080110201|Strong=1697 32 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=AMO_8:11!21|MId=o300080110211|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=AMO_8:11!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּאִים *\[are\] coming* | participle active · qal | יָמִים *days* | | | | | **not** הִשְׁלַחְתִּי *I will send* | weqatal · hiphil | רָעָב *a famine* | | | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | שְׁמֹעַ *hearing* | infinitive construct · qal | | דִּבְרֵי *the words* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
