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 — I, judgments, inhabitants, Thy — and what happens in the verse to Thee, earth, righteousness, 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. נַפְשִׁ֤י אִוִּיתִ֙יךָ֙ בַּלַּ֔יְלָה אַף־רוּחִ֥י בְקִרְבִּ֖י אֲשַֽׁחֲרֶ֑ךָּ כִּ֞י כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר מִשְׁפָּטֶ֙יךָ֙ לָאָ֔רֶץ צֶ֥דֶק לָמְד֖וּ יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃ [With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.531/) ## 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:484 # text = נַפְשִׁ֤י אִוִּיתִ֙יךָ֙ בַּלַּ֔יְלָה אַף־רוּחִ֥י בְקִרְבִּ֖י אֲשַֽׁחֲרֶ֑ךָּ כִּ֞י כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר מִשְׁפָּטֶ֙יךָ֙ לָאָ֔רֶץ צֶ֥דֶק לָמְד֖וּ יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃ # verse = ISA.26.9 1-2 נַפְשִׁ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=self|Ref=ISA_26:9!1|MId=o230260090011|Strong=5315 2 ִ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_26:9!1|MId=o230260090012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3-4 אִוִּיתִ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אִוִּיתִ֙י אָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_26:9!2|MId=o230260090021|Strong=0183|Frame=A0:230200020061;A1:230260090022;|Type=qatal 4 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=have.desired.you|Ref=ISA_26:9!2|MId=o230260090022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5-7 בַּלַּ֔יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_26:9!3|MId=o230260090031|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_26:9!3|MId=o230260090031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 לַּ֔יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=night|Ref=ISA_26:9!3|MId=o230260090032|Strong=3915 8 אַף־ אַף ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=ISA_26:9!4|MId=o230260090041|Strong=0637|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 רוּחִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=ISA_26:9!5|MId=o230260090051|Strong=7307 10 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_26:9!5|MId=o230260090052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11-13 בְקִרְבִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_26:9!6|MId=o230260090061|Strong=0871a 12 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nmod _ Gloss=my.inner|Ref=ISA_26:9!6|MId=o230260090062|Strong=7130 13 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=being|Ref=ISA_26:9!6|MId=o230260090063|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-15 אֲשַֽׁחֲרֶ֑ךָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֲשַֽׁחֲר שָׁחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_26:9!7|MId=o230260090071|Strong=7836|Frame=A0:230200020061;A1:230260090072;|Type=yiqtol 15 ֶ֑ךָּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=will.seek.you.earnestly|Ref=ISA_26:9!7|MId=o230260090072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 כִּ֞י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_26:9!8|MId=o230260090081|Strong=3588 17-18 כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 25 obl _ Gloss=when|Ref=ISA_26:9!9|MId=o230260090091|Strong=3509a 18 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_26:9!9|MId=o230260090092|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19-20 מִשְׁפָּטֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִשְׁפָּטֶ֙י מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 nsubj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=ISA_26:9!10|MId=o230260090101|Strong=4941 20 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_26:9!10|MId=o230260090102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21-23 לָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=[are].to|Ref=ISA_26:9!11|MId=o230260090111|Strong=3807a 22 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_26:9!11|MId=o230260090111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=ISA_26:9!11|MId=o230260090112|Strong=0776 24 צֶ֥דֶק צֶדֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=ISA_26:9!12|MId=o230260090121|Strong=6664 25 לָמְד֖וּ לָמַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 advcl _ Gloss=they.learn|Ref=ISA_26:9!13|MId=o230260090131|Strong=3925|Frame=A1:230260090121;A0:230260090141;|Type=qatal 26 יֹשְׁבֵ֥י יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 25 nsubj _ Gloss=the.inhabitants|Ref=ISA_26:9!14|MId=o230260090141|Strong=3427|Type=participle_active 27 תֵבֵֽל תֵּבֵל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].world|Ref=ISA_26:9!15|MId=o230260090151|Strong=8398|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=ISA_26:9!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אִוִּיתִי *I* | qatal · piel | | ךָ *have desired you* | | | | אֲשַֽׁחֲר *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ֶךָּ *will seek you earnestly* | | | | לָמְדוּ *they learn* | qatal · qal | יֹשְׁבֵי *the inhabitants* | צֶדֶק *righteousness* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
