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, I, hand, My — and what happens in the verse to posts, top, sight, serpent, 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. וְאִם־יֵחָֽבְאוּ֙ בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הַכַּרְמֶ֔ל מִשָּׁ֥ם אֲחַפֵּ֖שׂ וּלְקַחְתִּ֑ים וְאִם־יִסָּ֨תְר֜וּ מִנֶּ֤גֶד עֵינַי֙ בְּקַרְקַ֣ע הַיָּ֔ם מִשָּׁ֛ם אֲצַוֶּ֥ה אֶת־הַנָּחָ֖שׁ וּנְשָׁכָֽם׃ [And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from My sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/AMO.144/) ## 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:133 # text = וְאִם־יֵחָֽבְאוּ֙ בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הַכַּרְמֶ֔ל מִשָּׁ֥ם אֲחַפֵּ֖שׂ וּלְקַחְתִּ֑ים וְאִם־יִסָּ֨תְר֜וּ מִנֶּ֤גֶד עֵינַי֙ בְּקַרְקַ֣ע הַיָּ֔ם מִשָּׁ֛ם אֲצַוֶּ֥ה אֶת־הַנָּחָ֖שׁ וּנְשָׁכָֽם׃ # verse = AMO.9.3 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_9:3!1|MId=o300090030011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=AMO_9:3!1|MId=o300090030012|Strong=0518 3 יֵחָֽבְאוּ֙ חָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.hide.themselves|Ref=AMO_9:3!2|MId=o300090030021|Strong=2244|Frame=A0:300080140012;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 בְּרֹ֣אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=AMO_9:3!3|MId=o300090030031|Strong=0871a 5 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.top|Ref=AMO_9:3!3|MId=o300090030032|Strong=7218 6-7 הַכַּרְמֶ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=AMO_9:3!4|MId=o300090030041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 כַּרְמֶ֔ל כַּרְמֶל PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Carmel|Ref=AMO_9:3!4|MId=o300090030042|Strong=3760a 8-9 מִשָּׁ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=AMO_9:3!5|MId=o300090030051|Strong=4480 9 שָּׁ֥ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=AMO_9:3!5|MId=o300090030052|Strong=8033 10 אֲחַפֵּ֖שׂ חָפַשׂ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.search.for.[them]|Ref=AMO_9:3!6|MId=o300090030061|Strong=2664|Frame=A0:300090010031;A1:300080140012;|Type=yiqtol 11-13 וּלְקַחְתִּ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_9:3!7|MId=o300090030071|Strong=2050b 12 לְקַחְתִּ֑י לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=AMO_9:3!7|MId=o300090030072|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:300090010031;A1:300090030073;|Type=qatal 13 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=will.take.them|Ref=AMO_9:3!7|MId=o300090030073|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_9:3!8|MId=o300090030081|Strong=2050b 15 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=AMO_9:3!8|MId=o300090030082|Strong=0518 16 יִסָּ֨תְר֜וּ סָתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.hide.themselves|Ref=AMO_9:3!9|MId=o300090030091|Strong=5641|Frame=A0:300080140012;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 מִנֶּ֤גֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=AMO_9:3!10|MId=o300090030101|Strong=4480 18 נֶּ֤גֶד נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=AMO_9:3!10|MId=o300090030102|Strong=5048 19-20 עֵינַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 עֵינ עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=AMO_9:3!11|MId=o300090030111|Strong=5869 20 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=AMO_9:3!11|MId=o300090030112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 בְּקַרְקַ֣ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=AMO_9:3!12|MId=o300090030121|Strong=0871a 22 קַרְקַ֣ע קַרְקַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.bottom|Ref=AMO_9:3!12|MId=o300090030122|Strong=7172 23-24 הַיָּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=AMO_9:3!13|MId=o300090030131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 יָּ֔ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sea|Ref=AMO_9:3!13|MId=o300090030132|Strong=3220 25-26 מִשָּׁ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=AMO_9:3!14|MId=o300090030141|Strong=4480 26 שָּׁ֛ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 27 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=AMO_9:3!14|MId=o300090030142|Strong=8033 27 אֲצַוֶּ֥ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.command|Ref=AMO_9:3!15|MId=o300090030151|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:300090010031;A1:300090030172;|Type=yiqtol 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=AMO_9:3!16|MId=o300090030161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 הַנָּחָ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=AMO_9:3!17|MId=o300090030171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 נָּחָ֖שׁ נָחָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=snake|Ref=AMO_9:3!17|MId=o300090030172|Strong=5175 31-33 וּנְשָׁכָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=AMO_9:3!18|MId=o300090030181|Strong=2050b 32 נְשָׁכ נָשַׁךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 conj _ Gloss=it|Ref=AMO_9:3!18|MId=o300090030182|Strong=5391|Frame=A0:300090030172;A1:300090030183;|Type=qatal 33 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 obj _ Gloss=will.bite.them|Ref=AMO_9:3!18|MId=o300090030183|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=AMO_9:3!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
