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 — Rab, ye, great king, confidence, thou — and what happens in the verse to Hezekiah, this, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ רַב־שָׁקֵ֔ה אִמְרוּ־נָ֖א אֶל־חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ הַגָּדוֹל֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר מָ֧ה הַבִּטָּח֛וֹן הַזֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּטָֽחְתָּ׃ [And Rab-shakeh said unto them: 'Say ye now to Hezekiah: Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.739/) ## 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:679 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ רַב־שָׁקֵ֔ה אִמְרוּ־נָ֖א אֶל־חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ הַגָּדוֹל֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר מָ֧ה הַבִּטָּח֛וֹן הַזֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּטָֽחְתָּ׃ # verse = ISA.36.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_36:4!1|MId=o230360040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ISA_36:4!1|MId=o230360040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230360040031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:4!2|MId=o230360040021|Strong=0413 4 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_36:4!2|MId=o230360040022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 רַב־ רַב־שָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].Rab-|Ref=ISA_36:4!3|MId=o230360040031|Strong=7262|SpaceAfter=No 6 שָׁקֵ֔ה רַבְשָׁקֵה PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=shaqeh|Ref=ISA_36:4!4|MId=o230360040041|Strong=7262 7 אִמְרוּ־ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=say|Ref=ISA_36:4!5|MId=o230360040051|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230360030031;230360030092;230360030112;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 8 נָ֖א נָא INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=ISA_36:4!6|MId=o230360040061|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 9 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_36:4!7|MId=o230360040071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 10 חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Hezekiah|Ref=ISA_36:4!8|MId=o230360040081|Strong=2396a 11 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=ISA_36:4!9|MId=o230360040091|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 12 אָמַ֞ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_36:4!10|MId=o230360040101|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230360040112;|Type=qatal 13-14 הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_36:4!11|MId=o230360040111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מֶּ֤לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=ISA_36:4!11|MId=o230360040112|Strong=4428 15-16 הַגָּדוֹל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_36:4!12|MId=o230360040121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 גָּדוֹל֙ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=ISA_36:4!12|MId=o230360040122|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 17 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=ISA_36:4!13|MId=o230360040131|Strong=4428 18 אַשּׁ֔וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=ISA_36:4!14|MId=o230360040141|Strong=0804 19 מָ֧ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 12 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=ISA_36:4!15|MId=o230360040151|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 20-21 הַבִּטָּח֛וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=ISA_36:4!16|MId=o230360040161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 בִּטָּח֛וֹן בִּטָּחוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=trust|Ref=ISA_36:4!16|MId=o230360040162|Strong=0986 22-23 הַזֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_36:4!17|MId=o230360040171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 זֶּ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_36:4!17|MId=o230360040172|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 24 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_36:4!18|MId=o230360040181|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25 בָּטָֽחְתָּ בָּטַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.trust|Ref=ISA_36:4!19|MId=o230360040191|Strong=0982|Frame=A0:230360040081;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=ISA_36:4!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | רַב־ *\[the\] Rab-* | | | | | אִמְרוּ־ *say* | imperative · qal | | | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | בָּטָֽחְתָּ *you trust* | qatal · qal | חִזְקִיָּהוּ *Hezekiah* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
