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, beacon — and what happens in the verse to LORD, compassion, God, 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. וְלָכֵ֞ן יְחַכֶּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לַֽחֲנַנְכֶ֔ם וְלָכֵ֥ן יָר֖וּם לְרַֽחֶמְכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־אֱלֹהֵ֤י מִשְׁפָּט֙ יְהוָ֔ה אַשְׁרֵ֖י כָּל־ח֥וֹכֵי לֽוֹ׃ס [And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have compassion upon you; for the LORD is a God of justice, happy are all they that wait for Him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.636/) ## 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:580 # text = וְלָכֵ֞ן יְחַכֶּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לַֽחֲנַנְכֶ֔ם וְלָכֵ֥ן יָר֖וּם לְרַֽחֶמְכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־אֱלֹהֵ֤י מִשְׁפָּט֙ יְהוָ֔ה אַשְׁרֵ֖י כָּל־ח֥וֹכֵי לֽוֹ׃ס # verse = ISA.30.18 1-3 וְלָכֵ֞ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_30:18!1|MId=o230300180011|Strong=2050b 2 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_30:18!1|MId=o230300180012|Strong=3807a 3 כֵ֞ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=ISA_30:18!1|MId=o230300180013|Strong=3651 4 יְחַכֶּ֤ה חָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.is.waiting|Ref=ISA_30:18!2|MId=o230300180021|Strong=2442|Frame=A0:230300180031;|Type=yiqtol 5 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_30:18!3|MId=o230300180031|Strong=3068 6-8 לַֽחֲנַנְכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_30:18!4|MId=o230300180041|Strong=3807a 7 חֲנַנ חָנַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=show|Ref=ISA_30:18!4|MId=o230300180042|Strong=2603|Frame=A0:230300180031;A1:230300180043;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 ְכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=favor.to.you|Ref=ISA_30:18!4|MId=o230300180043|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9-11 וְלָכֵ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_30:18!5|MId=o230300180051|Strong=2050b 10 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_30:18!5|MId=o230300180052|Strong=3807a 11 כֵ֥ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=ISA_30:18!5|MId=o230300180053|Strong=3651 12 יָר֖וּם רוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.is.rising.up|Ref=ISA_30:18!6|MId=o230300180061|Strong=7311|Frame=A0:230300180031;|Type=yiqtol 13-15 לְרַֽחֶמְכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_30:18!7|MId=o230300180071|Strong=3807a 14 רַֽחֶמ רָחַם VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 12 advcl _ Gloss=have|Ref=ISA_30:18!7|MId=o230300180072|Strong=7355|Frame=A0:230300180031;A1:230300180073;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 ְכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=compassion.on.you|Ref=ISA_30:18!7|MId=o230300180073|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 16 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_30:18!8|MId=o230300180081|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 17 אֱלֹהֵ֤י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 advcl _ Gloss=[is].a.God|Ref=ISA_30:18!9|MId=o230300180091|Strong=0430 18 מִשְׁפָּט֙ מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.justice|Ref=ISA_30:18!10|MId=o230300180101|Strong=4941 19 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_30:18!11|MId=o230300180111|Strong=3068 20 אַשְׁרֵ֖י אֶשֶׁר INTJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 parataxis _ Gloss=how.blessed!|Ref=ISA_30:18!12|MId=o230300180121|Strong=0835a 21 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].all|Ref=ISA_30:18!13|MId=o230300180131|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 22 ח֥וֹכֵי חָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those.who].wait|Ref=ISA_30:18!14|MId=o230300180141|Strong=2442|Type=participle_active 23-24 לֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_30:18!15|MId=o230300180151|Strong=3807a 24 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=ISA_30:18!15|MId=o230300180152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_30:18!15|SpaceAfter=No 26 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_30:18!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְחַכֶּה *he is waiting* | yiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | חֲנַנ *show* | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ְכֶם *favor to you* | | | | יָרוּם *he is rising up* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | רַֽחֶמ *have* | infinitive construct · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ְכֶם *compassion on you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
