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 — number, Ye — and what happens in the verse to sand, people, number, children, 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 14 chapters of Hosea on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְֽ֠הָיָה מִסְפַּ֤ר בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כְּח֣וֹל הַיָּ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יִמַּ֖ד וְלֹ֣א יִסָּפֵ֑ר וְֽ֠הָיָה בִּמְק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יֵאָמֵ֤ר לָהֶם֙ לֹֽא־עַמִּ֣י אַתֶּ֔ם יֵאָמֵ֥ר לָהֶ֖ם בְּנֵ֥י אֵֽל־חָֽי׃ [Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, instead of that which was said unto them: 'Ye are not My people', it shall be said unto them: 'Ye are the children of the living God.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HOS.10/) ## 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:HOS:9 # text = וְֽ֠הָיָה מִסְפַּ֤ר בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ כְּח֣וֹל הַיָּ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יִמַּ֖ד וְלֹ֣א יִסָּפֵ֑ר וְֽ֠הָיָה בִּמְק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יֵאָמֵ֤ר לָהֶם֙ לֹֽא־עַמִּ֣י אַתֶּ֔ם יֵאָמֵ֥ר לָהֶ֖ם בְּנֵ֥י אֵֽל־חָֽי׃ # verse = HOS.2.1 1-2 וְֽ֠הָיָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְֽ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HOS_2:1!1|MId=o280020010011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=HOS_2:1!1|MId=o280020010012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:280020010021;|Type=weqatal 3 מִסְפַּ֤ר מִסְפָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the.number|Ref=HOS_2:1!2|MId=o280020010021|Strong=4557 4 בְּנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=HOS_2:1!3|MId=o280020010031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=HOS_2:1!4|MId=o280020010041|Strong=3478 6-7 כְּח֣וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=HOS_2:1!5|MId=o280020010051|Strong=3509a 7 ח֣וֹל חוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.sand|Ref=HOS_2:1!5|MId=o280020010052|Strong=2344 8-9 הַיָּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=HOS_2:1!6|MId=o280020010061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 יָּ֔ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sea|Ref=HOS_2:1!6|MId=o280020010062|Strong=3220 10 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=HOS_2:1!7|MId=o280020010071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=HOS_2:1!8|MId=o280020010081|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 12 יִמַּ֖ד מָדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.will.be.measured|Ref=HOS_2:1!9|MId=o280020010091|Strong=4058|Frame=A1:280020010052;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HOS_2:1!10|MId=o280020010101|Strong=2050b 14 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=HOS_2:1!10|MId=o280020010102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15 יִסָּפֵ֑ר סָפַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.counted|Ref=HOS_2:1!11|MId=o280020010111|Strong=5608|Frame=A1:280020010052;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 וְֽ֠הָיָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְֽ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HOS_2:1!12|MId=o280020010121|Strong=2050b 17 הָיָה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=HOS_2:1!12|MId=o280020010122|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 18-19 בִּמְק֞וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=HOS_2:1!13|MId=o280020010131|Strong=0871a 19 מְק֞וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=the.place|Ref=HOS_2:1!13|MId=o280020010132|Strong=4725 20 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(of).where|Ref=HOS_2:1!14|MId=o280020010141|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 21 יֵאָמֵ֤ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.was.said|Ref=HOS_2:1!15|MId=o280020010151|Strong=0559|Frame=A1:280020010181;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 לָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=HOS_2:1!16|MId=o280020010161|Strong=3807a 23 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=HOS_2:1!16|MId=o280020010162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=HOS_2:1!17|MId=o280020010171|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 עַמִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=HOS_2:1!18|MId=o280020010181|Strong=5971 26 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=HOS_2:1!18|MId=o280020010182|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 27 אַתֶּ֔ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=HOS_2:1!19|MId=o280020010191|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 28 יֵאָמֵ֥ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.be.said|Ref=HOS_2:1!20|MId=o280020010201|Strong=0559|Frame=A1:280020010221;|Type=yiqtol 29-30 לָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 ל לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=HOS_2:1!21|MId=o280020010211|Strong=3807a 30 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=HOS_2:1!21|MId=o280020010212|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 31 בְּנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 28 nsubj _ Gloss=children|Ref=HOS_2:1!22|MId=o280020010221|Strong=1121 32 אֵֽל־ אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].God|Ref=HOS_2:1!23|MId=o280020010231|Strong=0410|SpaceAfter=No 33 חָֽי חַי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 amod _ Gloss=living|Ref=HOS_2:1!24|MId=o280020010241|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=HOS_2:1!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
