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 — I — and what happens in the verse to LORD, man, 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. אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ לֹא־אֶרְאֶ֣ה יָ֔הּ יָ֖הּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַחַיִּ֑ים לֹא־אַבִּ֥יט אָדָ֛ם ע֖וֹד עִם־י֥וֹשְׁבֵי חָֽדֶל׃ [I said: I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD in the land of the living; I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.814/) ## 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:746 # text = אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ לֹא־אֶרְאֶ֣ה יָ֔הּ יָ֖הּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַחַיִּ֑ים לֹא־אַבִּ֥יט אָדָ֛ם ע֖וֹד עִם־י֥וֹשְׁבֵי חָֽדֶל׃ # verse = ISA.38.11 1 אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=ISA_38:11!1|MId=o230380110011|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230380090022;|Type=qatal 2 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_38:11!2|MId=o230380110021|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 3 אֶרְאֶ֣ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.see|Ref=ISA_38:11!3|MId=o230380110031|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:230380090022;A1:230380110051;|Type=yiqtol 4 יָ֔הּ יָהּ PROPN _ _ 3 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_38:11!4|MId=o230380110041|Strong=3050 5 יָ֖הּ יָהּ PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_38:11!5|MId=o230380110051|Strong=3050 6-7 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_38:11!6|MId=o230380110061|Strong=0871a 7 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=ISA_38:11!6|MId=o230380110062|Strong=0776 8-9 הַחַיִּ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_38:11!7|MId=o230380110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 חַיִּ֑ים חַי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.living|Ref=ISA_38:11!7|MId=o230380110072|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective 10 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_38:11!8|MId=o230380110081|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 11 אַבִּ֥יט נָבַט VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.look.at|Ref=ISA_38:11!9|MId=o230380110091|Strong=5027|Frame=AA:230380090022;A0:230380110101;|Type=yiqtol 12 אָדָ֛ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=ISA_38:11!10|MId=o230380110101|Strong=0120 13 ע֖וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=ISA_38:11!11|MId=o230380110111|Strong=5750 14 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_38:11!12|MId=o230380110121|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 15 י֥וֹשְׁבֵי יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 11 advcl _ Gloss=[the].inhabitants|Ref=ISA_38:11!13|MId=o230380110131|Strong=3427|Type=participle_active 16 חָֽדֶל חֶדֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.cessation|Ref=ISA_38:11!14|MId=o230380110141|Strong=2309|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=ISA_38:11!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַרְתִּי *I said* | qatal · qal | | | | | | **not** אֶרְאֶה *I will see* | yiqtol · qal | | יָהּ *Yahweh* | | | | **not** אַבִּיט *I will look at* | yiqtol · hiphil | אָדָם *humankind* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
