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 — Arabian, shepherds — and what happens in the verse to pride, generation, pitch, fold, 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. לֹֽא־תֵשֵׁ֣ב לָנֶ֔צַח וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁכֹּ֖ן עַד־דּ֣וֹר וָד֑וֹר וְלֹֽא־יַהֵ֥ל שָׁם֙ עֲרָבִ֔י וְרֹעִ֖ים לֹא־יַרְבִּ֥צוּ שָֽׁם׃ [It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.296/) ## 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:ISA:271 # text = לֹֽא־תֵשֵׁ֣ב לָנֶ֔צַח וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁכֹּ֖ן עַד־דּ֣וֹר וָד֑וֹר וְלֹֽא־יַהֵ֥ל שָׁם֙ עֲרָבִ֔י וְרֹעִ֖ים לֹא־יַרְבִּ֥צוּ שָֽׁם׃ # verse = ISA.13.20 1 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_13:20!1|MId=o230130200011|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 תֵשֵׁ֣ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.remain|Ref=ISA_13:20!2|MId=o230130200021|Strong=3427|Frame=A1:230130190021;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 לָנֶ֔צַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_13:20!3|MId=o230130200031|Strong=3807a 4 נֶ֔צַח נֵצַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=ISA_13:20!3|MId=o230130200032|Strong=5331 5-6 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_13:20!4|MId=o230130200041|Strong=2050b 6 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_13:20!4|MId=o230130200042|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 תִשְׁכֹּ֖ן שָׁכַן VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.settle|Ref=ISA_13:20!5|MId=o230130200051|Strong=7931|Frame=A1:230130190021;|Type=yiqtol 8 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=ISA_13:20!6|MId=o230130200061|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 9 דּ֣וֹר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=ISA_13:20!7|MId=o230130200071|Strong=1755 10-11 וָד֑וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_13:20!8|MId=o230130200081|Strong=2050b 11 ד֑וֹר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=ISA_13:20!8|MId=o230130200082|Strong=1755 12-13 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_13:20!9|MId=o230130200091|Strong=2050b 13 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_13:20!9|MId=o230130200092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14 יַהֵ֥ל אָהַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.pitch.tent|Ref=ISA_13:20!10|MId=o230130200101|Strong=0167|Frame=A0:230130200121;|Type=yiqtol 15 שָׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=ISA_13:20!11|MId=o230130200111|Strong=8033 16 עֲרָבִ֔י עֲרָבִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=an.Arab|Ref=ISA_13:20!12|MId=o230130200121|Strong=6163a|Type=gentilic 17-18 וְרֹעִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_13:20!13|MId=o230130200131|Strong=2050b 18 רֹעִ֖ים רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 20 nsubj _ Gloss=shepherds|Ref=ISA_13:20!13|MId=o230130200132|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 19 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_13:20!14|MId=o230130200141|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 20 יַרְבִּ֥צוּ רָבַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.make.lie.down|Ref=ISA_13:20!15|MId=o230130200151|Strong=7257|Frame=A0:230130200132;|Type=yiqtol 21 שָֽׁם שָׁם ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=ISA_13:20!16|MId=o230130200161|Strong=8033|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_13:20!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֵשֵׁב *it will remain* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** תִשְׁכֹּן *it will settle* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** יַהֵל *he will pitch tent* | yiqtol · piel | עֲרָבִי *an Arab* | | | | | **not** יַרְבִּצוּ *they will make lie down* | yiqtol · hiphil | רֹעִים *shepherds* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
