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 — man, idols — and what happens in the verse to idols, 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. בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ יַשְׁלִ֣יךְ הָאָדָ֔ם אֵ֚ת אֱלִילֵ֣י כַסְפּ֔וֹ וְאֵ֖ת אֱלִילֵ֣י זְהָב֑וֹ אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָֽשׂוּ־לוֹ֙ לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֔ת לַחְפֹּ֥ר פֵּר֖וֹת חְפֹּ֥ר פֵּר֖וֹת וְלָעֲטַלֵּפִֽים׃ [In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.52/) ## 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:50 # text = בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ יַשְׁלִ֣יךְ הָאָדָ֔ם אֵ֚ת אֱלִילֵ֣י כַסְפּ֔וֹ וְאֵ֖ת אֱלִילֵ֣י זְהָב֑וֹ אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָֽשׂוּ־לוֹ֙ לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֔ת לַחְפֹּ֥ר פֵּר֖וֹת חְפֹּ֥ר פֵּר֖וֹת וְלָעֲטַלֵּפִֽים׃ # verse = ISA.2.20 1-3 בַּיּ֤וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_2:20!1|MId=o230020200011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_2:20!1|MId=o230020200011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 יּ֤וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=ISA_2:20!1|MId=o230020200012|Strong=3117 4-5 הַהוּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_2:20!2|MId=o230020200021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 הוּא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=ISA_2:20!2|MId=o230020200022|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6 יַשְׁלִ֣יךְ שָׁלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.throw.away|Ref=ISA_2:20!3|MId=o230020200031|Strong=7993|Frame=AA:230020200042;A0:230020200061;230020200091;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 הָאָדָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_2:20!4|MId=o230020200041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=ISA_2:20!4|MId=o230020200042|Strong=0120 9 אֵ֚ת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_2:20!5|MId=o230020200051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 אֱלִילֵ֣י אֱלִיל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obj _ Gloss=the.idols|Ref=ISA_2:20!6|MId=o230020200061|Strong=0457 11-12 כַסְפּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 כַסְפּ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.silver|Ref=ISA_2:20!7|MId=o230020200071|Strong=3701 12 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_2:20!7|MId=o230020200072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְאֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_2:20!8|MId=o230020200081|Strong=2050b 14 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_2:20!8|MId=o230020200082|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 אֱלִילֵ֣י אֱלִיל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=the.idols|Ref=ISA_2:20!9|MId=o230020200091|Strong=0457 16-17 זְהָב֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 זְהָב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.gold|Ref=ISA_2:20!10|MId=o230020200101|Strong=2091 17 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_2:20!10|MId=o230020200102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_2:20!11|MId=o230020200111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19 עָֽשׂוּ־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.made|Ref=ISA_2:20!12|MId=o230020200121|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:230020200042;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_2:20!13|MId=o230020200131|Strong=3807a 21 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=himself|Ref=ISA_2:20!13|MId=o230020200132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֔ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_2:20!14|MId=o230020200141|Strong=3807a 23 הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺ֔ת חוה VERB _ HebBinyan=HITHPAEL 19 advcl _ Gloss=bow.down|Ref=ISA_2:20!14|MId=o230020200142|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:230020200042;A1:230020200061;230020200091;|Type=infinitive_construct 24-25 לַחְפֹּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to.[the]|Ref=ISA_2:20!15|MId=o230020200151|Strong=3807a 25 חְפֹּ֥ר חֲפֹר NOUN _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 obl _ Gloss=digging|Ref=ISA_2:20!15|MId=o230020200152|Type=infinitive_construct 26 פֵּר֖וֹת _ NOUN _ _ 25 flat _ Ref=ISA_2:20!15 27 חְפֹּ֥ר פֵּרֹות NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 25 nmod _ Gloss=of.moles|Ref=ISA_2:20!16|MId=o230020200161 28 פֵּר֖וֹת _ NOUN _ _ 27 flat _ Ref=ISA_2:20!16 29-32 וְלָעֲטַלֵּפִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_2:20!17|MId=o230020200171|Strong=2050b 30 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_2:20!17|MId=o230020200172|Strong=3807a 31 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_2:20!17|MId=o230020200172ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 עֲטַלֵּפִֽים עֲטַלֵּף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 conj _ Gloss=bats|Ref=ISA_2:20!17|MId=o230020200173|Strong=5847 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=ISA_2:20!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
