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 — God — and what happens in the verse to counsel, God, path, knowledge, way, 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. אֶת־מִ֤י נוֹעָץ֙ וַיְבִינֵ֔הוּ וַֽיְלַמְּדֵ֖הוּ בְּאֹ֣רַח מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וַיְלַמְּדֵ֣הוּ דַ֔עַת וְדֶ֥רֶךְ תְּבוּנ֖וֹת יוֹדִיעֶֽנּוּ׃ [With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him to know the way of discernment?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.850/) ## 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:779 # text = אֶת־מִ֤י נוֹעָץ֙ וַיְבִינֵ֔הוּ וַֽיְלַמְּדֵ֖הוּ בְּאֹ֣רַח מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וַיְלַמְּדֵ֣הוּ דַ֔עַת וְדֶ֥רֶךְ תְּבוּנ֖וֹת יוֹדִיעֶֽנּוּ׃ # verse = ISA.40.14 1 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_40:14!1|MId=o230400140011|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 2 מִ֤י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 3 obl _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=ISA_40:14!2|MId=o230400140021|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 3 נוֹעָץ֙ יָעַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=did.he.take.counsel|Ref=ISA_40:14!3|MId=o230400140031|Strong=3289|Frame=A0:230400130051;|Type=qatal 4-6 וַיְבִינֵ֔הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_40:14!4|MId=o230400140041|Strong=2050b 5 יְבִינ בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=did|Ref=ISA_40:14!4|MId=o230400140042|Strong=0995|Frame=AA:230400140021;A0:230400140043;|Type=wayyiqtol 6 ֵ֔הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=he.give.him.understanding?|Ref=ISA_40:14!4|MId=o230400140043|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 7-9 וַֽיְלַמְּדֵ֖הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_40:14!5|MId=o230400140051|Strong=2050b 8 יְלַמְּד לָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=did|Ref=ISA_40:14!5|MId=o230400140052|Strong=3925|Frame=A0:230400140021;A1:230400140053;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 ֵ֖הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=he.teach.him?|Ref=ISA_40:14!5|MId=o230400140053|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 10-11 בְּאֹ֣רַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(in).[the]|Ref=ISA_40:14!6|MId=o230400140061|Strong=0871a 11 אֹ֣רַח אֹרַח NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=path|Ref=ISA_40:14!6|MId=o230400140062|Strong=0734 12 מִשְׁפָּ֑ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.justice|Ref=ISA_40:14!7|MId=o230400140071|Strong=4941 13-15 וַיְלַמְּדֵ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_40:14!8|MId=o230400140081|Strong=2050b 14 יְלַמְּד לָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=did|Ref=ISA_40:14!8|MId=o230400140082|Strong=3925|Frame=A0:230400140021;A2:230400140083;A1:230400140091;|Type=wayyiqtol 15 ֵ֣הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=he.teach.him?|Ref=ISA_40:14!8|MId=o230400140083|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 16 דַ֔עַת דַּעַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 xcomp _ Gloss=knowledge|Ref=ISA_40:14!9|MId=o230400140091|Strong=1847 17-18 וְדֶ֥רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=ISA_40:14!10|MId=o230400140101|Strong=2050b 18 דֶ֥רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 xcomp _ Gloss=way|Ref=ISA_40:14!10|MId=o230400140102|Strong=1870 19 תְּבוּנ֖וֹת תְּבוּנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.understanding(s)|Ref=ISA_40:14!11|MId=o230400140111|Strong=8394 20-21 יוֹדִיעֶֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 יוֹדִיע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=will|Ref=ISA_40:14!12|MId=o230400140121|Strong=3045|Frame=AA:230400140021;A1:230400140102;A0:230400140122;|Type=yiqtol 21 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=he.inform.him?|Ref=ISA_40:14!12|MId=o230400140122|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_40:14!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נוֹעָץ *did he take counsel* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | יְבִינ *did* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵהוּ *he give him understanding?* | | | מִי *whom?* | | יְלַמְּד *did* | wayyiqtol · piel | מִי *whom?* | ֵהוּ *he teach him?* | | | | יְלַמְּד *did* | wayyiqtol · piel | מִי *whom?* | דַעַת *knowledge* | ֵהוּ *he teach him?* | | | יוֹדִיע *will* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֶֽנּוּ *he inform him?* | דֶרֶךְ *way* | | מִי *whom?* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
