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 — posts, hand, I — and what happens in the verse to posts, heaven, 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. אִם־יַחְתְּר֣וּ בִשְׁא֔וֹל מִשָּׁ֖ם יָדִ֣י תִקָּחֵ֑ם וְאִֽם־יַעֲלוּ֙ הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם מִשָּׁ֖ם אוֹרִידֵֽם׃ [Though they dig into the nether-world, thence shall My hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/AMO.143/) ## 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:132 # text = אִם־יַחְתְּר֣וּ בִשְׁא֔וֹל מִשָּׁ֖ם יָדִ֣י תִקָּחֵ֑ם וְאִֽם־יַעֲלוּ֙ הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם מִשָּׁ֖ם אוֹרִידֵֽם׃ # verse = AMO.9.2 1 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=AMO_9:2!1|MId=o300090020011|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 2 יַחְתְּר֣וּ חָתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 advcl _ Gloss=they.will.dig|Ref=AMO_9:2!2|MId=o300090020021|Strong=2864|Frame=A0:300080140012;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 בִשְׁא֔וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=AMO_9:2!3|MId=o300090020031|Strong=0871a 4 שְׁא֔וֹל שְׁאוֹל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Sheol|Ref=AMO_9:2!3|MId=o300090020032|Strong=7585 5-6 מִשָּׁ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=AMO_9:2!4|MId=o300090020041|Strong=4480 6 שָּׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=AMO_9:2!4|MId=o300090020042|Strong=8033 7-8 יָדִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=AMO_9:2!5|MId=o300090020051|Strong=3027 8 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=AMO_9:2!5|MId=o300090020052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 תִקָּחֵ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 תִקָּח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it|Ref=AMO_9:2!6|MId=o300090020061|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:300090020051;A1:300090020062;|Type=yiqtol 10 ֵ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=will.take.them|Ref=AMO_9:2!6|MId=o300090020062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְאִֽם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_9:2!7|MId=o300090020071|Strong=2050b 12 אִֽם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=AMO_9:2!7|MId=o300090020072|Strong=0518 13 יַעֲלוּ֙ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 advcl _ Gloss=they.will.go.up|Ref=AMO_9:2!8|MId=o300090020081|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:300080140012;|Type=yiqtol 14-15 הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=AMO_9:2!9|MId=o300090020091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 שָּׁמַ֔יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=AMO_9:2!9|MId=o300090020092|Strong=8064 16-17 מִשָּׁ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=AMO_9:2!10|MId=o300090020101|Strong=4480 17 שָּׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=AMO_9:2!10|MId=o300090020102|Strong=8033 18-19 אוֹרִידֵֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אוֹרִיד יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=AMO_9:2!11|MId=o300090020111|Strong=3381|Frame=AA:300090010031;A0:300090020112;|Type=yiqtol 19 ֵֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=will.bring.them.down|Ref=AMO_9:2!11|MId=o300090020112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=AMO_9:2!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַחְתְּרוּ *they will dig* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | תִקָּח *it* | yiqtol · qal | יָד *hand* | ֵם *will take them* | | | | יַעֲלוּ *they will go up* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | אוֹרִיד *I* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֵֽם *will bring them down* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
