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 — Eliakim, I, we, people — and what happens in the verse to thee, language, us, wall, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶלְיָקִים֩ וְשֶׁבְנָ֨א וְיוֹאָ֜ח אֶל־רַב־שָׁקֵ֗ה דַּבֶּר־נָ֤א אֶל־עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ אֲרָמִ֔ית כִּ֥י שֹׁמְעִ֖ים אֲנָ֑חְנוּ וְאַל־תְּדַבֵּ֤ר אֵלֵ֙ינוּ֙ יְהוּדִ֔ית בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־הַחוֹמָֽה׃ [Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rab-shakeh: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Aramean language, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.748/) ## 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:686 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶלְיָקִים֩ וְשֶׁבְנָ֨א וְיוֹאָ֜ח אֶל־רַב־שָׁקֵ֗ה דַּבֶּר־נָ֤א אֶל־עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ אֲרָמִ֔ית כִּ֥י שֹׁמְעִ֖ים אֲנָ֑חְנוּ וְאַל־תְּדַבֵּ֤ר אֵלֵ֙ינוּ֙ יְהוּדִ֔ית בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־הַחוֹמָֽה׃ # verse = ISA.36.11 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:11!1|MId=o230360110011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ISA_36:11!1|MId=o230360110012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230360110021;230360110032;230360110042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶלְיָקִים֩ אֶלְיָקִים PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Eliakim|Ref=ISA_36:11!2|MId=o230360110021|Strong=0471 4-5 וְשֶׁבְנָ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:11!3|MId=o230360110031|Strong=2050b 5 שֶׁבְנָ֨א שֶׁבְנָא PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Shebna|Ref=ISA_36:11!3|MId=o230360110032|Strong=7644 6-7 וְיוֹאָ֜ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:11!4|MId=o230360110041|Strong=2050b 7 יוֹאָ֜ח יוֹאָח PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Joah|Ref=ISA_36:11!4|MId=o230360110042|Strong=3098 8 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:11!5|MId=o230360110051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 9 רַב־ רַב־שָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=[the].Rab-|Ref=ISA_36:11!6|MId=o230360110061|Strong=7262|SpaceAfter=No 10 שָׁקֵ֗ה רַבְשָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=shaqeh|Ref=ISA_36:11!7|MId=o230360110071|Strong=7262 11 דַּבֶּר־ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=speak|Ref=ISA_36:11!8|MId=o230360110081|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:230360110061;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 12 נָ֤א נָא INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=ISA_36:11!9|MId=o230360110091|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 13 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:11!10|MId=o230360110101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 עֲבָדֶ֙י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=servants|Ref=ISA_36:11!11|MId=o230360110111|Strong=5650 15 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_36:11!11|MId=o230360110112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 אֲרָמִ֔ית אֲרָמִי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=Aramaic|Ref=ISA_36:11!12|MId=o230360110121|Strong=0762|Type=gentilic 17 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_36:11!13|MId=o230360110131|Strong=3588 18 שֹׁמְעִ֖ים שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 11 advcl _ Gloss=[are].understanding|Ref=ISA_36:11!14|MId=o230360110141|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230360110151;|Type=participle_active 19 אֲנָ֑חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=ISA_36:11!15|MId=o230360110151|Strong=0587|Type=personal 20-21 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:11!16|MId=o230360110161|Strong=2050b 21 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=ISA_36:11!16|MId=o230360110162|Strong=0408|Type=negative 22 תְּדַבֵּ֤ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 11 conj _ Gloss=speak|Ref=ISA_36:11!17|MId=o230360110171|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:230360110061;|Type=jussive 23-24 אֵלֵ֙ינוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֵלֵ֙י אֶל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:11!18|MId=o230360110181|Strong=0413 24 נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=ISA_36:11!18|MId=o230360110182|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 25 יְהוּדִ֔ית יְהוּדִי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=Judean|Ref=ISA_36:11!19|MId=o230360110191|Strong=3066|Type=gentilic 26-27 בְּאָזְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_36:11!20|MId=o230360110201|Strong=0871a 27 אָזְנֵ֣י אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 22 obl _ Gloss=the.ears|Ref=ISA_36:11!20|MId=o230360110202|Strong=0241 28-29 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_36:11!21|MId=o230360110211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=ISA_36:11!21|MId=o230360110212|Strong=5971 30 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 33 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_36:11!22|MId=o230360110221|Strong=0834|Type=relative 31 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=ISA_36:11!23|MId=o230360110231|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 32-33 הַחוֹמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_36:11!24|MId=o230360110241|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 חוֹמָֽה חוֹמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 acl:relcl _ Gloss=wall|Ref=ISA_36:11!24|MId=o230360110242|Strong=2346 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=ISA_36:11!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
