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, servant — and what happens in the verse to sign, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָלַ֛ךְ עַבְדִּ֥י יְשַׁעְיָ֖הוּ עָר֣וֹם וְיָחֵ֑ף שָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ א֣וֹת וּמוֹפֵ֔ת עַל־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְעַל־כּֽוּשׁ׃ [And the LORD said: 'Like as My servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot to be for three years a sign and a wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.412/) ## 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:377 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָלַ֛ךְ עַבְדִּ֥י יְשַׁעְיָ֖הוּ עָר֣וֹם וְיָחֵ֑ף שָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ א֣וֹת וּמוֹפֵ֔ת עַל־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְעַל־כּֽוּשׁ׃ # verse = ISA.20.3 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_20:3!1|MId=o230200030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ISA_20:3!1|MId=o230200030012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230200030021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_20:3!2|MId=o230200030021|Strong=3068 4-5 כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=just|Ref=ISA_20:3!3|MId=o230200030031|Strong=3509a 5 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=ISA_20:3!3|MId=o230200030032|Strong=0834|Type=relative 6 הָלַ֛ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.gone|Ref=ISA_20:3!4|MId=o230200030041|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:230200030051;|Type=qatal 7-8 עַבְדִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=servant|Ref=ISA_20:3!5|MId=o230200030051|Strong=5650 8 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_20:3!5|MId=o230200030052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9 יְשַׁעְיָ֖הוּ יְשַׁעְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 7 appos _ Gloss=Isaiah|Ref=ISA_20:3!6|MId=o230200030061|Strong=3470a 10 עָר֣וֹם עָרוֹם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 advmod _ Gloss=naked|Ref=ISA_20:3!7|MId=o230200030071|Strong=6174|Type=adjective 11-12 וְיָחֵ֑ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_20:3!8|MId=o230200030081|Strong=2050b 12 יָחֵ֑ף יָחֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=barefoot|Ref=ISA_20:3!8|MId=o230200030082|Strong=3182|Type=adjective 13 שָׁלֹ֤שׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=ISA_20:3!9|MId=o230200030091|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 14 שָׁנִים֙ שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=years|Ref=ISA_20:3!10|MId=o230200030101|Strong=8141 15 א֣וֹת אוֹת NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=a.sign|Ref=ISA_20:3!11|MId=o230200030111|Strong=0226 16-17 וּמוֹפֵ֔ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_20:3!12|MId=o230200030121|Strong=2050b 17 מוֹפֵ֔ת מוֹפֵת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=a.portent|Ref=ISA_20:3!12|MId=o230200030122|Strong=4159 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_20:3!13|MId=o230200030131|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 19 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=ISA_20:3!14|MId=o230200030141|Strong=4714 20-21 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_20:3!15|MId=o230200030151|Strong=2050b 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_20:3!15|MId=o230200030152|Strong=5921 22 כּֽוּשׁ כּוּשׁ PROPN _ _ 19 conj _ Gloss=Cush|Ref=ISA_20:3!16|MId=o230200030161|Strong=3568a|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ISA_20:3!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | הָלַךְ *he has gone* | qatal · qal | עַבְדּ *servant* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
