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 — ears, This, ye — and what happens in the verse to word, thee, way, right hand, left, 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. וְאָזְנֶ֙יךָ֙ תִּשְׁמַ֣עְנָה דָבָ֔ר מֵֽאַחֲרֶ֖יךָ לֵאמֹ֑ר זֶ֤ה הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ לְכ֣וּ ב֔וֹ כִּ֥י תַאֲמִ֖ינוּ וְכִ֥י תַשְׂמְאִֽילוּ׃ [And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying: 'This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.639/) ## 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:583 # text = וְאָזְנֶ֙יךָ֙ תִּשְׁמַ֣עְנָה דָבָ֔ר מֵֽאַחֲרֶ֖יךָ לֵאמֹ֑ר זֶ֤ה הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ לְכ֣וּ ב֔וֹ כִּ֥י תַאֲמִ֖ינוּ וְכִ֥י תַשְׂמְאִֽילוּ׃ # verse = ISA.30.21 1-3 וְאָזְנֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_30:21!1|MId=o230300210011|Strong=2050b 2 אָזְנֶ֙י אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 4 nsubj _ Gloss=ears|Ref=ISA_30:21!1|MId=o230300210012|Strong=0241 3 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_30:21!1|MId=o230300210013|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4 תִּשְׁמַ֣עְנָה שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.hear|Ref=ISA_30:21!2|MId=o230300210021|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230300210012;A1:230300210031;|Type=yiqtol 5 דָבָ֔ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=a.word|Ref=ISA_30:21!3|MId=o230300210031|Strong=1697 6-8 מֵֽאַחֲרֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_30:21!4|MId=o230300210041|Strong=4480 7 אַחֲרֶ֖י אַחַר ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=behind|Ref=ISA_30:21!4|MId=o230300210042|Strong=0310 8 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_30:21!4|MId=o230300210043|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9-10 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 13 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=ISA_30:21!5|MId=o230300210051|Strong=3807a 10 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_30:21!5|MId=o230300210052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230300210031;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 זֶ֤ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_30:21!6|MId=o230300210061|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 12-13 הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=ISA_30:21!7|MId=o230300210071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 דֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 advcl _ Gloss=way|Ref=ISA_30:21!7|MId=o230300210072|Strong=1870 14 לְכ֣וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=walk|Ref=ISA_30:21!8|MId=o230300210081|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:230300190021;|Type=imperative 15-16 ב֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_30:21!9|MId=o230300210091|Strong=0871a 16 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_30:21!9|MId=o230300210092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_30:21!10|MId=o230300210101|Strong=3588 18 תַאֲמִ֖ינוּ ימן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 advcl _ Gloss=you.will.go.to.the.right|Ref=ISA_30:21!11|MId=o230300210111|Strong=3231|Frame=A0:230300190021;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 וְכִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_30:21!12|MId=o230300210121|Strong=2050b 20 כִ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_30:21!12|MId=o230300210122|Strong=3588 21 תַשְׂמְאִֽילוּ שִׂמְאֵל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 advcl _ Gloss=you.will.go.to.the.left|Ref=ISA_30:21!13|MId=o230300210131|Strong=8041|Frame=A0:230300190021;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_30:21!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּשְׁמַעְנָה *they will hear* | yiqtol · qal | אָזְנֶי *ears* | דָבָר *a word* | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | דָבָר *a word* | | | | | לְכוּ *walk* | imperative · qal | | | | | | תַאֲמִינוּ *you will go to the right* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | תַשְׂמְאִֽילוּ *you will go to the left* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
