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, daughters — and what happens in the verse to tinkling, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י גָֽבְהוּ֙ בְּנ֣וֹת צִיּ֔וֹן וַתֵּלַ֙כְנָה֙ נְטוּי֣וֹת גָּר֔וֹן וּֽמְשַׂקְּר֖וֹת עֵינָ֑יִם הָל֤וֹךְ וְטָפֹף֙ תֵּלַ֔כְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶ֖ם תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה׃ [Moreover the LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.72/) ## 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:68 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י גָֽבְהוּ֙ בְּנ֣וֹת צִיּ֔וֹן וַתֵּלַ֙כְנָה֙ נְטוּי֣וֹת גָּר֔וֹן וּֽמְשַׂקְּר֖וֹת עֵינָ֑יִם הָל֤וֹךְ וְטָפֹף֙ תֵּלַ֔כְנָה וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶ֖ם תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה׃ # verse = ISA.3.16 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_3:16!1|MId=o230030160011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ISA_3:16!1|MId=o230030160012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230030160021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_3:16!2|MId=o230030160021|Strong=3068 4 יַ֚עַן יַעַן ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=because|Ref=ISA_3:16!3|MId=o230030160031|Strong=3282 5 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_3:16!4|MId=o230030160041|Strong=3588 6 גָֽבְהוּ֙ גָּבַהּ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=they.are.haughty|Ref=ISA_3:16!5|MId=o230030160051|Strong=1361|Frame=A0:230030160061;|Type=qatal 7 בְּנ֣וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.daughters|Ref=ISA_3:16!6|MId=o230030160061|Strong=1323 8 צִיּ֔וֹן צִיּוֹן PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zion|Ref=ISA_3:16!7|MId=o230030160071|Strong=6726 9-10 וַתֵּלַ֙כְנָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_3:16!8|MId=o230030160081|Strong=2050b 10 תֵּלַ֙כְנָה֙ הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=they.have.walked|Ref=ISA_3:16!8|MId=o230030160082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:230030160061;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 נְטוּי֣וֹת נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 advcl _ Gloss=stretched.out|Ref=ISA_3:16!10|MId=o230030160101|Strong=5186|Frame=A1:230030160061;|Type=participle_passive 12 גָּר֔וֹן גָּרוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=of.neck|Ref=ISA_3:16!11|MId=o230030160111|Strong=1627 13-14 וּֽמְשַׂקְּר֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_3:16!12|MId=o230030160121|Strong=2050b 14 מְשַׂקְּר֖וֹת שָׂקַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 11 conj _ Gloss=making.seductive.glances|Ref=ISA_3:16!12|MId=o230030160122|Strong=8265|Frame=A0:230030160061;|Type=participle_active 15 עֵינָ֑יִם עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 14 obl _ Gloss=of.eyes|Ref=ISA_3:16!13|MId=o230030160131|Strong=5869 16 הָל֤וֹךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 advmod _ Gloss=walking|Ref=ISA_3:16!14|MId=o230030160141|Strong=1980|Type=infinitive_absolute 17-18 וְטָפֹף֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_3:16!15|MId=o230030160151|Strong=2050b 18 טָפֹף֙ טָפַף VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 conj _ Gloss=mincing.along|Ref=ISA_3:16!15|MId=o230030160152|Strong=2952|Type=infinitive_absolute 19 תֵּלַ֔כְנָה הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=they.walk|Ref=ISA_3:16!16|MId=o230030160161|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:230030160061;|Type=yiqtol 20-23 וּבְרַגְלֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_3:16!17|MId=o230030160171|Strong=2050b 21 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_3:16!17|MId=o230030160172|Strong=0871a 22 רַגְלֵי רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 24 obl _ Gloss=feet|Ref=ISA_3:16!17|MId=o230030160173|Strong=7272 23 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_3:16!17|MId=o230030160174|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה עָכַס VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=they.tinkle.with.anklets|Ref=ISA_3:16!18|MId=o230030160181|Strong=5913|Frame=A0:230030160061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_3:16!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | גָֽבְהוּ *they are haughty* | qatal · qal | בְּנוֹת *the daughters* | | | | | תֵּלַכְנָה *they have walked* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנוֹת *the daughters* | | | | | נְטוּיוֹת *stretched out* | participle passive · qal | | בְּנוֹת *the daughters* | | | | מְשַׂקְּרוֹת *making seductive glances* | participle active · piel | בְּנוֹת *the daughters* | | | | | תֵּלַכְנָה *they walk* | yiqtol · qal | בְּנוֹת *the daughters* | | | | | תְּעַכַּֽסְנָה *they tinkle with anklets* | yiqtol · piel | בְּנוֹת *the daughters* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
