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 — you, us, He, latter rain — and what happens in the verse to us, LORD, 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 14 chapters of Hosea on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְנֵדְעָ֣ה נִרְדְּפָ֗ה לָדַ֙עַת֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה כְּשַׁ֖חַר נָכ֣וֹן מֽוֹצָא֑וֹ וְיָב֤וֹא כַגֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ לָ֔נוּ כְּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ י֥וֹרֶה אָֽרֶץ׃ [And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HOS.76/) ## 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:75 # text = וְנֵדְעָ֣ה נִרְדְּפָ֗ה לָדַ֙עַת֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה כְּשַׁ֖חַר נָכ֣וֹן מֽוֹצָא֑וֹ וְיָב֤וֹא כַגֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ לָ֔נוּ כְּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ י֥וֹרֶה אָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = HOS.6.3 1-2 וְנֵדְעָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HOS_6:3!1|MId=o280060030011|Strong=2050b 2 נֵדְעָ֣ה יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=let.us.know|Ref=HOS_6:3!1|MId=o280060030012|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:280050140042;280050140062;A1:280060010041;|Type=cohortative 3 נִרְדְּפָ֗ה רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=let.us.pursue|Ref=HOS_6:3!2|MId=o280060030021|Strong=7291|Frame=A0:280050140042;280050140062;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 לָדַ֙עַת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=HOS_6:3!3|MId=o280060030031|Strong=3807a 5 דַ֙עַת֙ יָדַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 3 advcl _ Gloss=know|Ref=HOS_6:3!3|MId=o280060030032|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:280050140042;280050140062;A1:280060030051;|Type=infinitive_construct 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=HOS_6:3!4|MId=o280060030041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=HOS_6:3!5|MId=o280060030051|Strong=3068 8-9 כְּשַׁ֖חַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=HOS_6:3!6|MId=o280060030061|Strong=3509a 9 שַׁ֖חַר שַׁחַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=dawn|Ref=HOS_6:3!6|MId=o280060030062|Strong=7837 10 נָכ֣וֹן כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].steadfast|Ref=HOS_6:3!7|MId=o280060030071|Strong=3559|Frame=A1:280060030081;|Type=participle_active 11-12 מֽוֹצָא֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מֽוֹצָא מוֹצָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=forth|Ref=HOS_6:3!8|MId=o280060030081|Strong=4161 12 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.going|Ref=HOS_6:3!8|MId=o280060030082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְיָב֤וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=HOS_6:3!9|MId=o280060030091|Strong=2050b 14 יָב֤וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.come|Ref=HOS_6:3!9|MId=o280060030092|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:280060030051;|Type=yiqtol 15-17 כַגֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=HOS_6:3!10|MId=o280060030101|Strong=3509a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=HOS_6:3!10|MId=o280060030101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 גֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ גֶּשֶׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=rain|Ref=HOS_6:3!10|MId=o280060030102|Strong=1653 18-19 לָ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=HOS_6:3!11|MId=o280060030111|Strong=3807a 19 ָ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=HOS_6:3!11|MId=o280060030112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 20-21 כְּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=HOS_6:3!12|MId=o280060030121|Strong=3509a 21 מַלְק֖וֹשׁ מַלְקוֹשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 parataxis _ Gloss=spring.rain|Ref=HOS_6:3!12|MId=o280060030122|Strong=4456 22 י֥וֹרֶה יָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 acl _ Gloss=[which].it.waters|Ref=HOS_6:3!13|MId=o280060030131|Strong=3384a|Frame=AA:280060030122;A0:280060030141;|Type=yiqtol 23 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=[the].land|Ref=HOS_6:3!14|MId=o280060030141|Strong=0776|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=HOS_6:3!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נֵדְעָה *let us know* | cohortative · qal | | | | | | נִרְדְּפָה *let us pursue* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | דַעַת *know* | infinitive construct · qal | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | נָכוֹן *\[is\] steadfast* | participle active · niphal | | מֽוֹצָא *forth* | | | | יָבוֹא *he will come* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יוֹרֶה *\[which\] it waters* | yiqtol · hiphil | אָֽרֶץ *\[the\] land* | | | מַלְקוֹשׁ *spring rain* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
