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, Lord GOD — and what happens in the verse to death, tears, faces, reproach, 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. בִּלַּ֤ע הַמָּ֙וֶת֙ לָנֶ֔צַח וּמָחָ֨ה אֲדֹנָ֧י יְהוִ֛ה דִּמְעָ֖ה מֵעַ֣ל כָּל־פָּנִ֑ים וְחֶרְפַּ֣ת עַמּ֗וֹ יָסִיר֙ מֵעַ֣ל כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר׃פ [He will swallow up death for ever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth; for the LORD hath spoken it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.518/) ## 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:471 # text = בִּלַּ֤ע הַמָּ֙וֶת֙ לָנֶ֔צַח וּמָחָ֨ה אֲדֹנָ֧י יְהוִ֛ה דִּמְעָ֖ה מֵעַ֣ל כָּל־פָּנִ֑ים וְחֶרְפַּ֣ת עַמּ֗וֹ יָסִיר֙ מֵעַ֣ל כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר׃פ # verse = ISA.25.8 1 בִּלַּ֤ע בָּלַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.swallow.up|Ref=ISA_25:8!1|MId=o230250080011|Strong=1104|Frame=A0:230250060021;A1:230250080022;|Type=qatal 2-3 הַמָּ֙וֶת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_25:8!2|MId=o230250080021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 מָּ֙וֶת֙ מָוֶת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=death|Ref=ISA_25:8!2|MId=o230250080022|Strong=4194 4-5 לָנֶ֔צַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_25:8!3|MId=o230250080031|Strong=3807a 5 נֶ֔צַח נֵצַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=ISA_25:8!3|MId=o230250080032|Strong=5331 6-7 וּמָחָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_25:8!4|MId=o230250080041|Strong=2050b 7 מָחָ֨ה מָחָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=he.will.wipe.away|Ref=ISA_25:8!4|MId=o230250080042|Strong=4229|Frame=A0:230250080051;A1:230250080071;|Type=weqatal 8-9 אֲדֹנָ֧י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=ISA_25:8!5|MId=o230250080051|Strong=0136 9 ָ֧י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=ISA_25:8!5|MId=o230250080052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 יְהוִ֛ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 8 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_25:8!6|MId=o230250080061|Strong=3069 11 דִּמְעָ֖ה דִּמְעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=tear[s]|Ref=ISA_25:8!7|MId=o230250080071|Strong=1832 12-13 מֵעַ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_25:8!8|MId=o230250080081|Strong=4480 13 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_25:8!8|MId=o230250080082|Strong=5921 14 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=every|Ref=ISA_25:8!9|MId=o230250080091|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 15 פָּנִ֑ים פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=face|Ref=ISA_25:8!10|MId=o230250080101|Strong=6440 16-17 וְחֶרְפַּ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_25:8!11|MId=o230250080111|Strong=2050b 17 חֶרְפַּ֣ת חֶרְפָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=the.reproach|Ref=ISA_25:8!11|MId=o230250080112|Strong=2781 18-19 עַמּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.people|Ref=ISA_25:8!12|MId=o230250080121|Strong=5971 19 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_25:8!12|MId=o230250080122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 יָסִיר֙ סוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=he.will.remove|Ref=ISA_25:8!13|MId=o230250080131|Strong=5493|Frame=AA:230250080051;A0:230250080112;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 מֵעַ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_25:8!14|MId=o230250080141|Strong=4480 22 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_25:8!14|MId=o230250080142|Strong=5921 23 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=ISA_25:8!15|MId=o230250080151|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_25:8!16|MId=o230250080161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=earth|Ref=ISA_25:8!16|MId=o230250080162|Strong=0776 26 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_25:8!17|MId=o230250080171|Strong=3588 27 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 28 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_25:8!18|MId=o230250080181|Strong=3068 28 דִּבֵּֽר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.spoken|Ref=ISA_25:8!19|MId=o230250080191|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:230250080181;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_25:8!19|SpaceAfter=No 30 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_25:8!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בִּלַּע *he will swallow up* | qatal · piel | | מָּוֶת *death* | | | | מָחָה *he will wipe away* | weqatal · qal | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | דִּמְעָה *tear\[s\]* | | | | יָסִיר *he will remove* | yiqtol · hiphil | חֶרְפַּת *the reproach* | | | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | | דִּבֵּֽר *he has spoken* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
