Isaiah 29:11 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonat --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ISA.29.11/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Isaiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ISA/) / [chapter 29](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ISA/29/) / 29:11 # Isaiah 29:11 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ **Who acts:** vision, men, I, man · **What happens:** become, seal, deliver, learn, say, read · **To what, where:** writing, words, one, this, thee, vision · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Isaiah 29:11 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — vision, men, I, man — and what happens in the verse to writing, words, one, this, thee, vision, 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. וַתְּהִ֨י לָכֶ֜ם חָז֣וּת הַכֹּ֗ל כְּדִבְרֵי֮ הַסֵּ֣פֶר הֶֽחָתוּם֒ אֲשֶֽׁר־יִתְּנ֣וּ אֹת֗וֹ אֶל־יוֹדֵ֥עַ סֵ֛פֶר לֵאמֹ֖ר קְרָ֣א נָא־זֶ֑ה וְאָמַר֙ לֹ֣א אוּכַ֔ל כִּ֥י חָת֖וּם הֽוּא׃ [And the vision of all this is become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying: 'Read this, I pray thee'; and he saith: 'I cannot, for it is sealed';](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.603/) ## 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:549 # text = וַתְּהִ֨י לָכֶ֜ם חָז֣וּת הַכֹּ֗ל כְּדִבְרֵי֮ הַסֵּ֣פֶר הֶֽחָתוּם֒ אֲשֶֽׁר־יִתְּנ֣וּ אֹת֗וֹ אֶל־יוֹדֵ֥עַ סֵ֛פֶר לֵאמֹ֖ר קְרָ֣א נָא־זֶ֑ה וְאָמַר֙ לֹ֣א אוּכַ֔ל כִּ֥י חָת֖וּם הֽוּא׃ # verse = ISA.29.11 1-2 וַתְּהִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:11!1|MId=o230290110011|Strong=2050b 2 תְּהִ֨י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.has.become|Ref=ISA_29:11!1|MId=o230290110012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230290110031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָכֶ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_29:11!2|MId=o230290110021|Strong=3807a 4 ָכֶ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_29:11!2|MId=o230290110022|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 5 חָז֣וּת חָזוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.vision|Ref=ISA_29:11!3|MId=o230290110031|Strong=2380 6-7 הַכֹּ֗ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_29:11!4|MId=o230290110041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 כֹּ֗ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.whole|Ref=ISA_29:11!4|MId=o230290110042|Strong=3605 8-9 כְּדִבְרֵי֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_29:11!5|MId=o230290110051|Strong=3509a 9 דִבְרֵי֮ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=ISA_29:11!5|MId=o230290110052|Strong=1697 10-11 הַסֵּ֣פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_29:11!6|MId=o230290110061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 סֵּ֣פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.scroll|Ref=ISA_29:11!6|MId=o230290110062|Strong=5612 12-13 הֶֽחָתוּם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הֶֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_29:11!7|MId=o230290110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 חָתוּם֒ חָתַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=sealed|Ref=ISA_29:11!7|MId=o230290110072|Strong=2856|Frame=A1:230290110062;|Type=participle_passive 14 אֲשֶֽׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_29:11!8|MId=o230290110081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15 יִתְּנ֣וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=people.give|Ref=ISA_29:11!9|MId=o230290110091|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:;A1:230290110102;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 אֹת֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_29:11!10|MId=o230290110101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_29:11!10|MId=o230290110102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_29:11!11|MId=o230290110111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 19 יוֹדֵ֥עַ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 xcomp _ Gloss=[one.who].knows|Ref=ISA_29:11!12|MId=o230290110121|Strong=3045|Frame=A1:230290110141;|Type=participle_active 20 סֵ֛פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=writing|Ref=ISA_29:11!14|MId=o230290110141|Strong=5612 21-22 לֵאמֹ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 23 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=ISA_29:11!15|MId=o230290110151|Strong=3807a 22 אמֹ֖ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_29:11!15|MId=o230290110152|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:;A1:230290110161;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 קְרָ֣א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 15 advcl _ Gloss=read.aloud|Ref=ISA_29:11!16|MId=o230290110161|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:230290110121;A1:230290110181;|Type=imperative 24 נָא־ נָא INTJ _ _ 23 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=ISA_29:11!17|MId=o230290110171|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation|SpaceAfter=No 25 זֶ֑ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 23 obj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_29:11!18|MId=o230290110181|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 26-27 וְאָמַר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_29:11!19|MId=o230290110191|Strong=2050b 27 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_29:11!19|MId=o230290110192|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230290110121;A1:230290110211;|Type=weqatal 28 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 29 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_29:11!20|MId=o230290110201|Strong=3808|Type=negative 29 אוּכַ֔ל יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 27 ccomp _ Gloss=I.am.able|Ref=ISA_29:11!21|MId=o230290110211|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:230290110121;|Type=yiqtol 30 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_29:11!22|MId=o230290110221|Strong=3588 31 חָת֖וּם חָתַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 29 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].sealed|Ref=ISA_29:11!23|MId=o230290110231|Strong=2856|Frame=A1:230290110241;|Type=participle_passive 32 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_29:11!24|MId=o230290110241|Strong=1931|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=ISA_29:11!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
