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 — tacklings, lame — and what happens in the verse to tacklings, stand, sail, prey, 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. נִטְּשׁ֖וּ חֲבָלָ֑יִךְ בַּל־יְחַזְּק֤וּ כֵן־תָּרְנָם֙ בַּל־פָּ֣רְשׂוּ נֵ֔ס אָ֣ז חֻלַּ֤ק עַֽד־שָׁלָל֙ מַרְבֶּ֔ה פִּסְחִ֖ים בָּ֥זְזוּ בַֽז׃ [Thy tacklings are loosed; they do not hold the stand of their mast, they do not spread the sail; then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.706/) ## 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:647 # text = נִטְּשׁ֖וּ חֲבָלָ֑יִךְ בַּל־יְחַזְּק֤וּ כֵן־תָּרְנָם֙ בַּל־פָּ֣רְשׂוּ נֵ֔ס אָ֣ז חֻלַּ֤ק עַֽד־שָׁלָל֙ מַרְבֶּ֔ה פִּסְחִ֖ים בָּ֥זְזוּ בַֽז׃ # verse = ISA.33.23 1 נִטְּשׁ֖וּ נָטַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.are.loose|Ref=ISA_33:23!1|MId=o230330230011|Strong=5203|Frame=A1:230330230021;|Type=qatal 2-3 חֲבָלָ֑יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 חֲבָלָ֑י חֶבֶל NOUN _ Number=Plur 1 nsubj _ Gloss=ropes|Ref=ISA_33:23!2|MId=o230330230021|Strong=2256 3 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_33:23!2|MId=o230330230022|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 4 בַּל־ בַּל ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_33:23!3|MId=o230330230031|Strong=1077|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 5 יְחַזְּק֤וּ חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.make.firm|Ref=ISA_33:23!4|MId=o230330230041|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:230330230021;A1:230330230051;|Type=yiqtol 6 כֵן־ כֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=the.base|Ref=ISA_33:23!5|MId=o230330230051|Strong=3653|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 תָּרְנָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 תָּרְנ תֹּרֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.mast|Ref=ISA_33:23!6|MId=o230330230061|Strong=8650 8 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_33:23!6|MId=o230330230062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 בַּל־ בַּל ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_33:23!7|MId=o230330230071|Strong=1077|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 10 פָּ֣רְשׂוּ פָּרַשׂ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.spread.out|Ref=ISA_33:23!8|MId=o230330230081|Strong=6566|Frame=A0:230330230021;A1:230330230091;|Type=qatal 11 נֵ֔ס נֵס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=[the].sail|Ref=ISA_33:23!9|MId=o230330230091|Strong=5251 12 אָ֣ז אָז ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=ISA_33:23!10|MId=o230330230101|Strong=0227 13 חֻלַּ֤ק חָלַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.be.divided|Ref=ISA_33:23!11|MId=o230330230111|Strong=2505|Frame=A1:230330230121;|Type=qatal 14 עַֽד־ עַד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=booty|Ref=ISA_33:23!12|MId=o230330230121|Strong=5706|SpaceAfter=No 15 שָׁלָל֙ שָׁלָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.plunder|Ref=ISA_33:23!13|MId=o230330230131|Strong=7998 16 מַרְבֶּ֔ה מַרְבֶה ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 advmod _ Gloss=in.abundance|Ref=ISA_33:23!14|MId=o230330230141|Strong=4766 17 פִּסְחִ֖ים פִּסֵּחַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=lame.[people]|Ref=ISA_33:23!15|MId=o230330230151|Strong=6455|Type=adjective 18 בָּ֥זְזוּ בָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.take.as.spoil|Ref=ISA_33:23!16|MId=o230330230161|Strong=0962|Frame=A0:230330230151;A1:230330230171;|Type=qatal 19 בַֽז בַּז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=spoil|Ref=ISA_33:23!17|MId=o230330230171|Strong=0957|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=ISA_33:23!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִטְּשׁוּ *they are loose* | qatal · niphal | | חֲבָלָי *ropes* | | | | **not** יְחַזְּקוּ *they make firm* | yiqtol · piel | חֲבָלָי *ropes* | כֵן־ *the base* | | | | **not** פָּרְשׂוּ *they have spread out* | qatal · qal | חֲבָלָי *ropes* | נֵס *\[the\] sail* | | | | חֻלַּק *it will be divided* | qatal · pual | | עַֽד־ *booty* | | | | בָּזְזוּ *they will take as spoil* | qatal · qal | פִּסְחִים *lame \[people\]* | בַֽז *spoil* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
