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 — seven women, We, name, thou, thy — and what happens in the verse to own bread, own apparel, us, reproach, 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. וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ֩ שֶׁ֨בַע נָשִׁ֜ים בְּאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֗ד בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לַחְמֵ֣נוּ נֹאכֵ֔ל וְשִׂמְלָתֵ֖נוּ נִלְבָּ֑שׁ רַ֗ק יִקָּרֵ֤א שִׁמְךָ֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ אֱסֹ֖ף חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ׃ס [And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying: 'We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name; take thou away our reproach.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.83/) ## 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:79 # text = וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ֩ שֶׁ֨בַע נָשִׁ֜ים בְּאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֗ד בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לַחְמֵ֣נוּ נֹאכֵ֔ל וְשִׂמְלָתֵ֖נוּ נִלְבָּ֑שׁ רַ֗ק יִקָּרֵ֤א שִׁמְךָ֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ אֱסֹ֖ף חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ׃ס # verse = ISA.4.1 1-2 וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_4:1!1|MId=o230040010011|Strong=2050b 2 הֶחֱזִיקוּ֩ חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.take.hold|Ref=ISA_4:1!1|MId=o230040010012|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:230040010031;|Type=weqatal 3 שֶׁ֨בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=ISA_4:1!2|MId=o230040010021|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 4 נָשִׁ֜ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=women|Ref=ISA_4:1!3|MId=o230040010031|Strong=0802 5-6 בְּאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_4:1!4|MId=o230040010041|Strong=0871a 6 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=ISA_4:1!4|MId=o230040010042|Strong=0376 7 אֶחָ֗ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=ISA_4:1!5|MId=o230040010051|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 8-10 בַּיּ֤וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_4:1!6|MId=o230040010061|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_4:1!6|MId=o230040010061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 יּ֤וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=ISA_4:1!6|MId=o230040010062|Strong=3117 11-12 הַהוּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_4:1!7|MId=o230040010071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 הוּא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=ISA_4:1!7|MId=o230040010072|Strong=1931|Type=personal 13-14 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 17 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=ISA_4:1!8|MId=o230040010081|Strong=3807a 14 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_4:1!8|MId=o230040010082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230040010031;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 לַחְמֵ֣נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לַחְמ לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=food|Ref=ISA_4:1!9|MId=o230040010091|Strong=3899 16 ֵ֣נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our.own|Ref=ISA_4:1!9|MId=o230040010092|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17 נֹאכֵ֔ל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 advcl _ Gloss=we.will.eat|Ref=ISA_4:1!10|MId=o230040010101|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:230040010031;A1:230040010091;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 וְשִׂמְלָתֵ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_4:1!11|MId=o230040010111|Strong=2050b 19 שִׂמְלָת שִׂמְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=our.own|Ref=ISA_4:1!11|MId=o230040010112|Strong=8071 20 ֵ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=clothing|Ref=ISA_4:1!11|MId=o230040010113|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 21 נִלְבָּ֑שׁ לָבֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=we.will.wear|Ref=ISA_4:1!12|MId=o230040010121|Strong=3847|Frame=A0:230040010031;A1:230040010112;|Type=yiqtol 22 רַ֗ק רַק ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=ISA_4:1!13|MId=o230040010131|Strong=7535|Type=affirmation 23 יִקָּרֵ֤א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=let.it.be.called|Ref=ISA_4:1!14|MId=o230040010141|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:230040010151;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 שִׁמְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 שִׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=ISA_4:1!15|MId=o230040010151|Strong=8034 25 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_4:1!15|MId=o230040010152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26-27 עָלֵ֔ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עָלֵ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_4:1!16|MId=o230040010161|Strong=5921 27 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=ISA_4:1!16|MId=o230040010162|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 28 אֱסֹ֖ף אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 23 ccomp _ Gloss=remove|Ref=ISA_4:1!17|MId=o230040010171|Strong=0622|Frame=A0:230040010042;A1:230040010181;|Type=imperative 29-30 חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 חֶרְפָּת חֶרְפָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=reproach|Ref=ISA_4:1!18|MId=o230040010181|Strong=2781 30 ֵֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=ISA_4:1!18|MId=o230040010182|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=ISA_4:1!18|SpaceAfter=No 32 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=ISA_4:1!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
