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 — king — and what happens in the verse to Rab, Jerusalem, Lachish, highway, 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. וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֣וּר ׀ אֶת־רַב־שָׁקֵ֨ה מִלָּכִ֧ישׁ יְרוּשָׁלְַ֛מָה אֶל־הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּחֵ֣יל כָּבֵ֑ד וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֗ד בִּתְעָלַת֙ הַבְּרֵכָ֣ה הָעֶלְיוֹנָ֔ה בִּמְסִלַּ֖ת שְׂדֵ֥ה כוֹבֵֽס׃ [And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.736/) [And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fullers' field.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.737/) ## 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:677 # text = וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֣וּר ׀ אֶת־רַב־שָׁקֵ֨ה מִלָּכִ֧ישׁ יְרוּשָׁלְַ֛מָה אֶל־הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּחֵ֣יל כָּבֵ֑ד וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֗ד בִּתְעָלַת֙ הַבְּרֵכָ֣ה הָעֶלְיוֹנָ֔ה בִּמְסִלַּ֖ת שְׂדֵ֥ה כוֹבֵֽס׃ # verse = ISA.36.2 1-2 וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:2!1|MId=o230360020011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁלַ֣ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=ISA_36:2!1|MId=o230360020012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:230360020021;A1:230360020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=ISA_36:2!2|MId=o230360020021|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 4 אַשּׁ֣וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=ISA_36:2!3|MId=o230360020031|Strong=0804 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=ISA_36:2!3 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_36:2!4|MId=o230360020041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 רַב־ רַב־שָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=[the].Rab-|Ref=ISA_36:2!5|MId=o230360020051|Strong=7262|SpaceAfter=No 8 שָׁקֵ֨ה רַבְשָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=shaqeh|Ref=ISA_36:2!6|MId=o230360020061|Strong=7262 9-10 מִלָּכִ֧ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_36:2!7|MId=o230360020071|Strong=4480 10 לָּכִ֧ישׁ לָכִישׁ PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Lachish|Ref=ISA_36:2!7|MId=o230360020072|Strong=3923 11-12 יְרוּשָׁלְַ֛מָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 יְרוּשָׁלְַ֛מ יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 10 conj _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:2!8|MId=o230360020081|Strong=3389 12 ָה ה X _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=ISA_36:2!8|MId=o230360020082|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 13 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:2!9|MId=o230360020091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_36:2!10|MId=o230360020101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 מֶּ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=ISA_36:2!10|MId=o230360020102|Strong=4428 16 חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 15 appos _ Gloss=Hezekiah|Ref=ISA_36:2!11|MId=o230360020111|Strong=2396a 17-18 בְּחֵ֣יל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_36:2!12|MId=o230360020121|Strong=0871a 18 חֵ֣יל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=an.army|Ref=ISA_36:2!12|MId=o230360020122|Strong=2428 19 כָּבֵ֑ד כָּבֵד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 amod _ Gloss=massive|Ref=ISA_36:2!13|MId=o230360020131|Strong=3515|Type=adjective 20-21 וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֗ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:2!14|MId=o230360020141|Strong=2050b 21 יַּעֲמֹ֗ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.stood|Ref=ISA_36:2!14|MId=o230360020142|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:230360020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 22-23 בִּתְעָלַת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=ISA_36:2!15|MId=o230360020151|Strong=0871a 23 תְעָלַת֙ תְּעָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=the.conduit|Ref=ISA_36:2!15|MId=o230360020152|Strong=8585 24-25 הַבְּרֵכָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_36:2!16|MId=o230360020161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 בְּרֵכָ֣ה בְּרֵכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.pool|Ref=ISA_36:2!16|MId=o230360020162|Strong=1295 26-27 הָעֶלְיוֹנָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_36:2!17|MId=o230360020171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 עֶלְיוֹנָ֔ה עֶלְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 amod _ Gloss=upper|Ref=ISA_36:2!17|MId=o230360020172|Strong=5945|Type=adjective 28-29 בִּמְסִלַּ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=on.[the]|Ref=ISA_36:2!18|MId=o230360020181|Strong=0871a 29 מְסִלַּ֖ת מְסִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=highway|Ref=ISA_36:2!18|MId=o230360020182|Strong=4546 30 שְׂדֵ֥ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].field|Ref=ISA_36:2!19|MId=o230360020191|Strong=7704 31 כוֹבֵֽס כָּבַס VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].washer|Ref=ISA_36:2!20|MId=o230360020201|Strong=3526|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=ISA_36:2!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶֽלֶךְ־ *the king* | רַב־ *\[the\] Rab-* | | | | יַּעֲמֹד *he stood* | wayyiqtol · qal | רַב־ *\[the\] Rab-* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
