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 — breath, hand, kites — and what happens in the verse to lot, generation, 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. וְהֽוּא־הִפִּ֤יל לָהֶן֙ גּוֹרָ֔ל וְיָד֛וֹ חִלְּקַ֥תָּה לָהֶ֖ם בַּקָּ֑ו עַד־עוֹלָם֙ יִֽירָשׁ֔וּהָ לְד֥וֹר וָד֖וֹר יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃ס [And He hath cast the lot for them, and His hand hath divided it unto them by line; they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.724/) ## 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:665 # text = וְהֽוּא־הִפִּ֤יל לָהֶן֙ גּוֹרָ֔ל וְיָד֛וֹ חִלְּקַ֥תָּה לָהֶ֖ם בַּקָּ֑ו עַד־עוֹלָם֙ יִֽירָשׁ֔וּהָ לְד֥וֹר וָד֖וֹר יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃ס # verse = ISA.34.17 1-2 וְהֽוּא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_34:17!1|MId=o230340170011|Strong=2050b 2 הֽוּא־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_34:17!1|MId=o230340170012|Strong=1931|Type=personal 3 הִפִּ֤יל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.cast|Ref=ISA_34:17!2|MId=o230340170021|Strong=5307|Frame=AA:230340170012;A0:230340170041;|Type=qatal 4-5 לָהֶן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ל לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_34:17!3|MId=o230340170031|Strong=3807a 5 ָהֶן֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_34:17!3|MId=o230340170032|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 6 גּוֹרָ֔ל גּוֹרָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=a.lot|Ref=ISA_34:17!4|MId=o230340170041|Strong=1486 7-9 וְיָד֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_34:17!5|MId=o230340170051|Strong=2050b 8 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=ISA_34:17!5|MId=o230340170052|Strong=3027 9 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_34:17!5|MId=o230340170053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-11 חִלְּקַ֥תָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 חִלְּקַ֥תּ חָלַק VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_34:17!6|MId=o230340170061|Strong=2505|Frame=A0:230340170052;A1:230340170062;|Type=qatal 11 ָה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=has.divided.it|Ref=ISA_34:17!6|MId=o230340170062|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 12-13 לָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_34:17!7|MId=o230340170071|Strong=3807a 13 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_34:17!7|MId=o230340170072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14-16 בַּקָּ֑ו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=ISA_34:17!8|MId=o230340170081|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_34:17!8|MId=o230340170081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 קָּ֑ו קַו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=measuring-line|Ref=ISA_34:17!8|MId=o230340170082|Strong=6957 17 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=ISA_34:17!9|MId=o230340170091|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 18 עוֹלָם֙ עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=ISA_34:17!10|MId=o230340170101|Strong=5769 19-20 יִֽירָשׁ֔וּהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יִֽירָשׁ֔וּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=they|Ref=ISA_34:17!11|MId=o230340170111|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:230340110021;230340110032;230340110042;230340110052;230340130091;230340130112;230340140021;230340140041;230340140052;230340140121;230340150031;230340150111;A1:230340170112;|Type=yiqtol 20 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=will.possess.it|Ref=ISA_34:17!11|MId=o230340170112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21-22 לְד֥וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_34:17!12|MId=o230340170121|Strong=3807a 22 ד֥וֹר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=ISA_34:17!12|MId=o230340170122|Strong=1755 23-24 וָד֖וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_34:17!13|MId=o230340170131|Strong=2050b 24 ד֖וֹר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=ISA_34:17!13|MId=o230340170132|Strong=1755 25 יִשְׁכְּנוּ־ שָׁכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.dwell|Ref=ISA_34:17!14|MId=o230340170141|Strong=7931|Frame=A0:230340110021;230340110032;230340110042;230340110052;230340130091;230340130112;230340140021;230340140041;230340140052;230340140121;230340150031;230340150111;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 בָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_34:17!15|MId=o230340170151|Strong=0871a 27 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_34:17!15|MId=o230340170152|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=ISA_34:17!15|SpaceAfter=No 29 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=ISA_34:17!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
