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 — man, Thou, ruin — and what happens in the verse to hold, mantle, ruler, ruin, hand, brother, 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. כִּֽי־יִתְפֹּ֨שׂ אִ֤ישׁ בְּאָחִיו֙ בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו שִׂמְלָ֣ה לְכָ֔ה קָצִ֖ין תִּֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑נוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את תַּ֥חַת יָדֶֽךָ׃ [For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.60/) ## 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:58 # text = כִּֽי־יִתְפֹּ֨שׂ אִ֤ישׁ בְּאָחִיו֙ בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו שִׂמְלָ֣ה לְכָ֔ה קָצִ֖ין תִּֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑נוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את תַּ֥חַת יָדֶֽךָ׃ # verse = ISA.3.6 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_3:6!1|MId=o230030060011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 יִתְפֹּ֨שׂ תָּפַשׂ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.seize|Ref=ISA_3:6!2|MId=o230030060021|Strong=8610|Frame=A0:230030060031;|Type=yiqtol 3 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=a.person|Ref=ISA_3:6!3|MId=o230030060031|Strong=0376 4-6 בְּאָחִיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=ISA_3:6!4|MId=o230030060041|Strong=0871a 5 אָחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=brother|Ref=ISA_3:6!4|MId=o230030060042|Strong=0251 6 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_3:6!4|MId=o230030060043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=ISA_3:6!5|MId=o230030060051|Strong=1004 8-9 אָבִ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אָבִ֔י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.father|Ref=ISA_3:6!6|MId=o230030060061|Strong=0001 9 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_3:6!6|MId=o230030060062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 שִׂמְלָ֣ה שִׂמְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=a.cloak|Ref=ISA_3:6!7|MId=o230030060071|Strong=8071 11-12 לְכָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=ISA_3:6!8|MId=o230030060081|Strong=3807a 12 ְכָ֔ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_3:6!8|MId=o230030060082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13 קָצִ֖ין קָצִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=a.ruler|Ref=ISA_3:6!9|MId=o230030060091|Strong=7101 14 תִּֽהְיֶה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 13 cop _ Gloss=you.will.be|Ref=ISA_3:6!10|MId=o230030060101|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230030060042;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 לָּ֑נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_3:6!11|MId=o230030060111|Strong=3807a 16 ָ֑נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=our|Ref=ISA_3:6!11|MId=o230030060112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17-19 וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_3:6!12|MId=o230030060121|Strong=2050b 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the.heap|Ref=ISA_3:6!12|MId=o230030060122|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מַּכְשֵׁלָ֥ה מַכְשֵׁלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=of.ruins|Ref=ISA_3:6!12|MId=o230030060123|Strong=4384 20-21 הַזֹּ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_3:6!13|MId=o230030060131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 זֹּ֖את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 19 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_3:6!13|MId=o230030060132|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 22 תַּ֥חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=[will.be].under|Ref=ISA_3:6!14|MId=o230030060141|Strong=8478 23-24 יָדֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=hand|Ref=ISA_3:6!15|MId=o230030060151|Strong=3027 24 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_3:6!15|MId=o230030060152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_3:6!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִתְפֹּשׂ *he will seize* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a person* | | | | | תִּֽהְיֶה־ *you will be* | yiqtol · qal | אָחִי *brother* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
