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 — women, city, calf — and what happens in the verse to boughs, women, fire, people, compassion, 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. בִּיבֹ֤שׁ קְצִירָהּ֙ תִּשָּׁבַ֔רְנָה נָשִׁ֕ים בָּא֖וֹת מְאִיר֣וֹת אוֹתָ֑הּ כִּ֣י לֹ֤א עַם־בִּינוֹת֙ ה֔וּא עַל־כֵּן֙ לֹֽא־יְרַחֲמֶ֣נּוּ עֹשֵׂ֔הוּ וְיֹצְר֖וֹ לֹ֥א יְחֻנֶּֽנּוּ׃ס [When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.556/) ## 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:507 # text = בִּיבֹ֤שׁ קְצִירָהּ֙ תִּשָּׁבַ֔רְנָה נָשִׁ֕ים בָּא֖וֹת מְאִיר֣וֹת אוֹתָ֑הּ כִּ֣י לֹ֤א עַם־בִּינוֹת֙ ה֔וּא עַל־כֵּן֙ לֹֽא־יְרַחֲמֶ֣נּוּ עֹשֵׂ֔הוּ וְיֹצְר֖וֹ לֹ֥א יְחֻנֶּֽנּוּ׃ס # verse = ISA.27.11 1-2 בִּיבֹ֤שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=ISA_27:11!1|MId=o230270110011|Strong=0871a 2 יבֹ֤שׁ יָבֵשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 advcl _ Gloss=dry.up|Ref=ISA_27:11!1|MId=o230270110012|Strong=3001|Frame=A0:230270110021;|Type=infinitive_construct 3-4 קְצִירָהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 קְצִיר קָצִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=branch[es]|Ref=ISA_27:11!2|MId=o230270110021|Strong=7105a 4 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=ISA_27:11!2|MId=o230270110022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5 תִּשָּׁבַ֔רְנָה שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.are.broken.off|Ref=ISA_27:11!3|MId=o230270110031|Strong=7665|Frame=A1:230270110021;|Type=yiqtol 6 נָשִׁ֕ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=women|Ref=ISA_27:11!4|MId=o230270110041|Strong=0802 7 בָּא֖וֹת בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 5 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].coming|Ref=ISA_27:11!5|MId=o230270110051|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:230270110041;|Type=participle_active 8 מְאִיר֣וֹת אוֹר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 5 parataxis _ Gloss=[they.are].setting.light.to|Ref=ISA_27:11!6|MId=o230270110061|Strong=0215|Frame=AA:230270110041;A0:230270110072;|Type=participle_active 9-10 אוֹתָ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_27:11!7|MId=o230270110071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_27:11!7|MId=o230270110072|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 11 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_27:11!8|MId=o230270110081|Strong=3588 12 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_27:11!9|MId=o230270110091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 עַם־ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 advcl _ Gloss=[is].a.people|Ref=ISA_27:11!10|MId=o230270110101|Strong=5971|SpaceAfter=No 14 בִּינוֹת֙ בִּינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.understanding(s)|Ref=ISA_27:11!11|MId=o230270110111|Strong=0998 15 ה֔וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_27:11!12|MId=o230270110121|Strong=1931|Type=personal 16 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=ISA_27:11!13|MId=o230270110131|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 17 כֵּן֙ כֵּן ADV _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_27:11!14|MId=o230270110141|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 18 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_27:11!15|MId=o230270110151|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 יְרַחֲמֶ֣נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יְרַחֲמ רָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_27:11!16|MId=o230270110161|Strong=7355|Frame=A1:230270110162;A0:230270110171;|Type=yiqtol 20 ֶ֣נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=will.have.compassion.on.it|Ref=ISA_27:11!16|MId=o230270110162|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 21-22 עֹשֵׂ֔הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 עֹשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=the.[one|Ref=ISA_27:11!17|MId=o230270110171|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:230270010041;A1:230270110172;|Type=participle_active 22 ֵ֔הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].made.it|Ref=ISA_27:11!17|MId=o230270110172|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 23-25 וְיֹצְר֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_27:11!18|MId=o230270110181|Strong=2050b 24 יֹצְר יָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=the.[one|Ref=ISA_27:11!18|MId=o230270110182|Strong=3335|Frame=A0:230270010041;A1:230270110183;|Type=participle_active 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].formed.it|Ref=ISA_27:11!18|MId=o230270110183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_27:11!19|MId=o230270110191|Strong=3808|Type=negative 27-28 יְחֻנֶּֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 יְחֻנּ חָנַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_27:11!20|MId=o230270110201|Strong=2603|Frame=A0:230270110182;A1:230270110202;|Type=yiqtol 28 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=will.show.favor.to.it|Ref=ISA_27:11!20|MId=o230270110202|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_27:11!20|SpaceAfter=No 30 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_27:11!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
