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 — land, Lord GOD, I, sun — and what happens in the verse to sun, earth, 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. וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ בַּֽצָּהֳרָ֑יִם וְהַחֲשַׁכְתִּ֥י לָאָ֖רֶץ בְּי֥וֹם אֽוֹר׃ [And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/AMO.136/) ## 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:125 # text = וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ בַּֽצָּהֳרָ֑יִם וְהַחֲשַׁכְתִּ֥י לָאָ֖רֶץ בְּי֥וֹם אֽוֹר׃ # verse = AMO.8.9 1-2 וְהָיָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_8:9!1|MId=o300080090011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=AMO_8:9!1|MId=o300080090012|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=AMO_8:9!1 4-6 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=AMO_8:9!2|MId=o300080090021|Strong=0871a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=AMO_8:9!2|MId=o300080090021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=day|Ref=AMO_8:9!2|MId=o300080090022|Strong=3117 7-8 הַה֗וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=AMO_8:9!3|MId=o300080090031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 ה֗וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=AMO_8:9!3|MId=o300080090032|Strong=1931|Type=personal 9 נְאֻם֙ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=AMO_8:9!4|MId=o300080090041|Strong=5002 10-11 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=AMO_8:9!5|MId=o300080090051|Strong=0136 11 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=AMO_8:9!5|MId=o300080090052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12 יְהוִ֔ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 10 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=AMO_8:9!6|MId=o300080090061|Strong=3069 13-14 וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_8:9!7|MId=o300080090071|Strong=2050b 14 הֵבֵאתִ֥י בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 conj _ Gloss=I.will.cause.to.go|Ref=AMO_8:9!7|MId=o300080090072|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:300080090051;A0:300080090082;|Type=weqatal 15-16 הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=AMO_8:9!8|MId=o300080090081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ שֶׁמֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=sun|Ref=AMO_8:9!8|MId=o300080090082|Strong=8121 17-19 בַּֽצָּהֳרָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=AMO_8:9!9|MId=o300080090091|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=AMO_8:9!9|MId=o300080090091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 צָּהֳרָ֑יִם צָהֳרַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=noon(s)|Ref=AMO_8:9!9|MId=o300080090092|Strong=6672a 20-21 וְהַחֲשַׁכְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_8:9!10|MId=o300080090101|Strong=2050b 21 הַחֲשַׁכְתִּ֥י חָשַׁךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 conj _ Gloss=I.will.make.dark|Ref=AMO_8:9!10|MId=o300080090102|Strong=2821|Frame=A0:300080090051;|Type=weqatal 22-24 לָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=AMO_8:9!11|MId=o300080090111|Strong=3807a 23 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=AMO_8:9!11|MId=o300080090111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=AMO_8:9!11|MId=o300080090112|Strong=0776 25-26 בְּי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=AMO_8:9!12|MId=o300080090121|Strong=0871a 26 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=AMO_8:9!12|MId=o300080090122|Strong=3117 27 אֽוֹר אוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.light|Ref=AMO_8:9!13|MId=o300080090131|Strong=0216|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=AMO_8:9!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֵבֵאתִי *I will cause to go* | weqatal · hiphil | שֶּׁמֶשׁ *sun* | | | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | הַחֲשַׁכְתִּי *I will make dark* | weqatal · hiphil | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
