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 — Thou, Thine — and what happens in the verse to affliction, 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 3 chapters of Habakkuk on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. הֲבִנְהָרִים֙ חָרָ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה אִ֤ם בַּנְּהָרִים֙ אַפֶּ֔ךָ אִם־בַּיָּ֖ם עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י תִרְכַּב֙ עַל־סוּסֶ֔יךָ מַרְכְּבֹתֶ֖יךָ יְשׁוּעָֽה׃ [Is it, O LORD, that against the rivers, is it that Thine anger is kindled against the rivers, or Thy wrath against the sea? that Thou dost ride upon Thy horses, upon Thy chariots of victory?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HAB.50/) ## 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:HAB:44 # text = הֲבִנְהָרִים֙ חָרָ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה אִ֤ם בַּנְּהָרִים֙ אַפֶּ֔ךָ אִם־בַּיָּ֖ם עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י תִרְכַּב֙ עַל־סוּסֶ֔יךָ מַרְכְּבֹתֶ֖יךָ יְשׁוּעָֽה׃ # verse = HAB.3.8 1-3 הֲבִנְהָרִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=HAB_3:8!1|MId=o350030080011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=HAB_3:8!1|MId=o350030080012|Strong=0871a 3 נְהָרִים֙ נָהָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=rivers|Ref=HAB_3:8!1|MId=o350030080013|Strong=5104 4 חָרָ֣ה חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=has.it.burned|Ref=HAB_3:8!2|MId=o350030080021|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:350030080031;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=HAB_3:8!3|MId=o350030080031|Strong=3068 6 אִ֤ם אִם SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=or?|Ref=HAB_3:8!4|MId=o350030080041|Strong=0518 7-9 בַּנְּהָרִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=HAB_3:8!5|MId=o350030080051|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=HAB_3:8!5|MId=o350030080051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 נְּהָרִים֙ נָהָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 parataxis _ Gloss=rivers|Ref=HAB_3:8!5|MId=o350030080052|Strong=5104 10-11 אַפֶּ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אַפּ אַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=anger|Ref=HAB_3:8!6|MId=o350030080061|Strong=0639 11 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].your|Ref=HAB_3:8!6|MId=o350030080062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=or?|Ref=HAB_3:8!7|MId=o350030080071|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 13-15 בַּיָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=HAB_3:8!8|MId=o350030080081|Strong=0871a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=HAB_3:8!8|MId=o350030080081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 יָּ֖ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=sea|Ref=HAB_3:8!8|MId=o350030080082|Strong=3220 16-17 עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עֶבְרָת עֶבְרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=fury|Ref=HAB_3:8!9|MId=o350030080091|Strong=5678 17 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].your|Ref=HAB_3:8!9|MId=o350030080092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=HAB_3:8!10|MId=o350030080101|Strong=3588 19 תִרְכַּב֙ רָכַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 advcl _ Gloss=you.will.ride|Ref=HAB_3:8!11|MId=o350030080111|Strong=7392|Frame=A0:350030080031;|Type=yiqtol 20 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=HAB_3:8!12|MId=o350030080121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 סוּסֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 סוּסֶ֔י סוּס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=horses|Ref=HAB_3:8!13|MId=o350030080131|Strong=5483 22 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=HAB_3:8!13|MId=o350030080132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 מַרְכְּבֹתֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מַרְכְּבֹתֶ֖י מֶרְכָּבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=chariots|Ref=HAB_3:8!14|MId=o350030080141|Strong=4818 24 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=HAB_3:8!14|MId=o350030080142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 יְשׁוּעָֽה יְשׁוּעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 appos _ Gloss=salvation|Ref=HAB_3:8!15|MId=o350030080151|Strong=3444|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=HAB_3:8!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חָרָה *has it burned* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | | | | תִרְכַּב *you will ride* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
