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 — This, ye, rest — and what happens in the verse to tongue, rest, weary, refreshing, 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. אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ אָמַ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם זֹ֤את הַמְּנוּחָה֙ הָנִ֣יחוּ לֶֽעָיֵ֔ף וְזֹ֖את הַמַּרְגֵּעָ֑ה וְלֹ֥א אָב֖וּא שְׁמֽוֹעַ׃ [To whom it was said: 'This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary; and this is the refreshing'; yet they would not hear.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.572/) ## 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:521 # text = אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ אָמַ֣ר אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם זֹ֤את הַמְּנוּחָה֙ הָנִ֣יחוּ לֶֽעָיֵ֔ף וְזֹ֖את הַמַּרְגֵּעָ֑ה וְלֹ֥א אָב֖וּא שְׁמֽוֹעַ׃ # verse = ISA.28.12 1 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=ISA_28:12!1|MId=o230280120011|Strong=0834|Type=relative 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=ISA_28:12!1 3 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ISA_28:12!2|MId=o230280120021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230280050041;A1:230280120052;230280120061;230280120092;|Type=qatal 4-5 אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_28:12!3|MId=o230280120031|Strong=0413 5 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_28:12!3|MId=o230280120032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6 זֹ֤את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_28:12!4|MId=o230280120041|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 7-8 הַמְּנוּחָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=ISA_28:12!5|MId=o230280120051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 מְּנוּחָה֙ מְנוּחָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 ccomp _ Gloss=resting.place|Ref=ISA_28:12!5|MId=o230280120052|Strong=4496 9 הָנִ֣יחוּ נוּחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 parataxis _ Gloss=give.rest|Ref=ISA_28:12!6|MId=o230280120061|Strong=5117|Frame=A0:230280110082;|Type=imperative 10-12 לֶֽעָיֵ֔ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֶֽ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_28:12!7|MId=o230280120071|Strong=3807a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_28:12!7|MId=o230280120071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 עָיֵ֔ף עָיֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=weary|Ref=ISA_28:12!7|MId=o230280120072|Strong=5889|Type=adjective 13-14 וְזֹ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_28:12!8|MId=o230280120081|Strong=2050b 14 זֹ֖את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 16 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_28:12!8|MId=o230280120082|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 15-16 הַמַּרְגֵּעָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=ISA_28:12!9|MId=o230280120091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מַּרְגֵּעָ֑ה מַרְגֵּעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=place.of.rest|Ref=ISA_28:12!9|MId=o230280120092|Strong=4774 17-18 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_28:12!10|MId=o230280120101|Strong=2050b 18 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_28:12!10|MId=o230280120102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 אָב֖וּא אָבָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.were.willing|Ref=ISA_28:12!11|MId=o230280120111|Strong=0014|Frame=A0:230280110082;A1:230280120121;|Type=qatal 20 שְׁמֽוֹעַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 obj _ Gloss=to.listen|Ref=ISA_28:12!12|MId=o230280120121|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230280110082;|Type=infinitive_construct|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=ISA_28:12!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he said* | qatal · qal | | מְּנוּחָה *resting place* + הָנִיחוּ *give rest* + מַּרְגֵּעָה *place of rest* | | | | הָנִיחוּ *give rest* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | | **not** אָבוּא *they were willing* | qatal · qal | | שְׁמֽוֹעַ *to listen* | | | | שְׁמֽוֹעַ *to listen* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
