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 — LORD, glory, remnant, Moab — and what happens in the verse, 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. וְעַתָּ֗ה דִּבֶּ֣ר יְהוָה֮ לֵאמֹר֒ בְּשָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ כִּשְׁנֵ֣י שָׂכִ֔יר וְנִקְלָה֙ כְּב֣וֹד מוֹאָ֔ב בְּכֹ֖ל הֶהָמ֣וֹן הָרָ֑ב וּשְׁאָ֥ר מְעַ֛ט מִזְעָ֖ר ל֥וֹא כַבִּֽיר׃ס [But now the LORD hath spoken, saying: 'Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall wax contemptible for all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and without strength.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.358/) ## 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:328 # text = וְעַתָּ֗ה דִּבֶּ֣ר יְהוָה֮ לֵאמֹר֒ בְּשָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ כִּשְׁנֵ֣י שָׂכִ֔יר וְנִקְלָה֙ כְּב֣וֹד מוֹאָ֔ב בְּכֹ֖ל הֶהָמ֣וֹן הָרָ֑ב וּשְׁאָ֥ר מְעַ֛ט מִזְעָ֖ר ל֥וֹא כַבִּֽיר׃ס # verse = ISA.16.14 1-2 וְעַתָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_16:14!1|MId=o230160140011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=ISA_16:14!1|MId=o230160140012|Strong=6258 3 דִּבֶּ֣ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_16:14!2|MId=o230160140021|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:230160140031;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָה֮ יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_16:14!3|MId=o230160140031|Strong=3068 5-6 לֵאמֹר֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 9 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=ISA_16:14!4|MId=o230160140041|Strong=3807a 6 אמֹר֒ אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_16:14!4|MId=o230160140042|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230160140031;|Type=infinitive_construct 7-8 בְּשָׁלֹ֤שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_16:14!5|MId=o230160140051|Strong=0871a 8 שָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=ISA_16:14!5|MId=o230160140052|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 9 שָׁנִים֙ שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 3 ccomp _ Gloss=years|Ref=ISA_16:14!6|MId=o230160140061|Strong=8141 10-11 כִּשְׁנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=ISA_16:14!7|MId=o230160140071|Strong=3509a 11 שְׁנֵ֣י שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 9 obl _ Gloss=years|Ref=ISA_16:14!7|MId=o230160140072|Strong=8141|Type=cardinal_number 12 שָׂכִ֔יר שָׂכִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.hired.laborer|Ref=ISA_16:14!8|MId=o230160140081|Strong=7916|Type=adjective 13-14 וְנִקְלָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_16:14!9|MId=o230160140091|Strong=2050b 14 נִקְלָה֙ קָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.lightly.esteemed|Ref=ISA_16:14!9|MId=o230160140092|Strong=7034|Frame=A1:230160140101;|Type=weqatal 15 כְּב֣וֹד כָּבוֹד NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.honor|Ref=ISA_16:14!10|MId=o230160140101|Strong=3519 16 מוֹאָ֔ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=ISA_16:14!11|MId=o230160140111|Strong=4124 17-18 בְּכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_16:14!12|MId=o230160140121|Strong=0871a 18 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=ISA_16:14!12|MId=o230160140122|Strong=3605 19-20 הֶהָמ֣וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_16:14!13|MId=o230160140131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 הָמ֣וֹן הָמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=multitude|Ref=ISA_16:14!13|MId=o230160140132|Strong=1995 21-22 הָרָ֑ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_16:14!14|MId=o230160140141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 רָ֑ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=ISA_16:14!14|MId=o230160140142|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 23-24 וּשְׁאָ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_16:14!15|MId=o230160140151|Strong=2050b 24 שְׁאָ֥ר שְׁאָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=a.remnant|Ref=ISA_16:14!15|MId=o230160140152|Strong=7605 25 מְעַ֛ט מְעַט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=little|Ref=ISA_16:14!16|MId=o230160140161|Strong=4592 26 מִזְעָ֖ר מִזְעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=fewness|Ref=ISA_16:14!17|MId=o230160140171|Strong=4213 27 ל֥וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=[will.be].not|Ref=ISA_16:14!18|MId=o230160140181|Strong=3808|Type=negative 28 כַבִּֽיר כַּבִּיר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 parataxis _ Gloss=mighty|Ref=ISA_16:14!19|MId=o230160140191|Strong=3524|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_16:14!19|SpaceAfter=No 30 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_16:14!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דִּבֶּר *he says* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | נִקְלָה *it will be lightly esteemed* | weqatal · niphal | | כְּבוֹד *the honor* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
