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 — ye, one, none, mate, breath — and what happens in the verse to book, mate, kites, 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. דִּרְשׁ֨וּ מֵֽעַל־סֵ֤פֶר יְהוָה֙ וּֽקְרָ֔אוּ אַחַ֤ת מֵהֵ֙נָּה֙ לֹ֣א נֶעְדָּ֔רָה אִשָּׁ֥ה רְעוּתָ֖הּ לֹ֣א פָקָ֑דוּ כִּֽי־פִי֙ ה֣וּא צִוָּ֔ה וְרוּח֖וֹ ה֥וּא קִבְּצָֽן׃ [Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read; no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate; for My mouth it hath commanded, and the breath thereof it hath gathered them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.723/) ## 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:664 # text = דִּרְשׁ֨וּ מֵֽעַל־סֵ֤פֶר יְהוָה֙ וּֽקְרָ֔אוּ אַחַ֤ת מֵהֵ֙נָּה֙ לֹ֣א נֶעְדָּ֔רָה אִשָּׁ֥ה רְעוּתָ֖הּ לֹ֣א פָקָ֑דוּ כִּֽי־פִי֙ ה֣וּא צִוָּ֔ה וְרוּח֖וֹ ה֥וּא קִבְּצָֽן׃ # verse = ISA.34.16 1 דִּרְשׁ֨וּ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=seek|Ref=ISA_34:16!1|MId=o230340160011|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:230310060051;|Type=imperative 2-3 מֵֽעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_34:16!2|MId=o230340160021|Strong=4480 3 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_34:16!2|MId=o230340160022|Strong=5921 4 סֵ֤פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=the.scroll|Ref=ISA_34:16!3|MId=o230340160031|Strong=5612 5 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ISA_34:16!4|MId=o230340160041|Strong=3068 6-7 וּֽקְרָ֔אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_34:16!5|MId=o230340160051|Strong=2050b 7 קְרָ֔אוּ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=read|Ref=ISA_34:16!5|MId=o230340160052|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:230310060051;A1:230340160031;|Type=imperative 8 אַחַ֤ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=one|Ref=ISA_34:16!6|MId=o230340160061|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 9-10 מֵהֵ֙נָּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_34:16!7|MId=o230340160071|Strong=4480 10 הֵ֙נָּה֙ הֵנָּה PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_34:16!7|MId=o230340160072|Strong=2004|Type=personal 11 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_34:16!8|MId=o230340160081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 נֶעְדָּ֔רָה עָדַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 ccomp _ Gloss=it.will.be.missing|Ref=ISA_34:16!9|MId=o230340160091|Strong=5737a|Frame=A0:230340160061;|Type=qatal 13 אִשָּׁ֥ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=ISA_34:16!10|MId=o230340160101|Strong=0802 14-15 רְעוּתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 רְעוּת רְעוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=companion|Ref=ISA_34:16!11|MId=o230340160111|Strong=7468 15 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=ISA_34:16!11|MId=o230340160112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_34:16!12|MId=o230340160121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 פָקָ֑דוּ פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.miss|Ref=ISA_34:16!13|MId=o230340160131|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:230340110021;230340110032;230340110042;230340110052;230340130091;230340130112;230340140021;230340140041;230340140052;230340140121;230340150031;230340150111;A1:230340160111;|Type=qatal 18 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_34:16!14|MId=o230340160141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 פִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 פ פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 dislocated _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=ISA_34:16!15|MId=o230340160151|Strong=6310 20 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_34:16!15|MId=o230340160152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 ה֣וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_34:16!16|MId=o230340160161|Strong=1931|Type=personal 22 צִוָּ֔ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 advcl _ Gloss=it.has.commanded|Ref=ISA_34:16!17|MId=o230340160171|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:230340160161;|Type=qatal 23-25 וְרוּח֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_34:16!18|MId=o230340160181|Strong=2050b 24 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 dislocated _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=ISA_34:16!18|MId=o230340160182|Strong=7307 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_34:16!18|MId=o230340160183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_34:16!19|MId=o230340160191|Strong=1931|Type=personal 27-28 קִבְּצָֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 קִבְּצ קָבַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 conj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_34:16!20|MId=o230340160201|Strong=6908|Frame=A0:230340160191;A1:230340160202;|Type=qatal 28 ָֽן נ PRON _ PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=will.gather.them|Ref=ISA_34:16!20|MId=o230340160202|Strong=4993c|Type=paragogic_nun 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=ISA_34:16!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
