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 — you — and what happens in the verse to good tidings, Zion, thee, high mountain, Jerusalem, voice, 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. עַ֣ל הַר־גָּבֹ֤הַ עֲלִי־לָךְ֙ מְבַשֶּׂ֣רֶת צִיּ֔וֹן הָרִ֤ימִי בַכֹּ֙חַ֙ קוֹלֵ֔ךְ מְבַשֶּׂ֖רֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הָרִ֙ימִי֙ אַל־תִּירָ֔אִי אִמְרִי֙ לְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה הִנֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ [O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.844/) ## 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:774 # text = עַ֣ל הַר־גָּבֹ֤הַ עֲלִי־לָךְ֙ מְבַשֶּׂ֣רֶת צִיּ֔וֹן הָרִ֤ימִי בַכֹּ֙חַ֙ קוֹלֵ֔ךְ מְבַשֶּׂ֖רֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הָרִ֙ימִי֙ אַל־תִּירָ֔אִי אִמְרִי֙ לְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה הִנֵּ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = ISA.40.9 1 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_40:9!1|MId=o230400090011|Strong=5921 2 הַר־ הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=a.mountain|Ref=ISA_40:9!2|MId=o230400090021|Strong=2022|SpaceAfter=No 3 גָּבֹ֤הַ גָּבֹהַּ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 amod _ Gloss=high|Ref=ISA_40:9!3|MId=o230400090031|Strong=1364|Type=adjective 4 עֲלִי־ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=go.up|Ref=ISA_40:9!4|MId=o230400090041|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:230400090061;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 לָךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(for|Ref=ISA_40:9!5|MId=o230400090051|Strong=3807a 6 ָךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=ISA_40:9!5|MId=o230400090052|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 7 מְבַשֶּׂ֣רֶת בָּשַׂר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=O.bearer.of.news|Ref=ISA_40:9!6|MId=o230400090061|Strong=1319|Frame=A1:230400090071;|Type=participle_active 8 צִיּ֔וֹן צִיּוֹן PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Zion|Ref=ISA_40:9!7|MId=o230400090071|Strong=6726 9 הָרִ֤ימִי רוּם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=lift.up|Ref=ISA_40:9!8|MId=o230400090081|Strong=7311|Frame=AA:230400090111;A0:230400090101;|Type=imperative 10-12 בַכֹּ֙חַ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_40:9!9|MId=o230400090091|Strong=0871a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_40:9!9|MId=o230400090091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 כֹּ֙חַ֙ כֹּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=strength|Ref=ISA_40:9!9|MId=o230400090092|Strong=3581 13-14 קוֹלֵ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 קוֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=voice|Ref=ISA_40:9!10|MId=o230400090101|Strong=6963 14 ֵ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_40:9!10|MId=o230400090102|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 15 מְבַשֶּׂ֖רֶת בָּשַׂר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 9 parataxis _ Gloss=O.bearer.of.news|Ref=ISA_40:9!11|MId=o230400090111|Strong=1319|Frame=A1:230400090121;|Type=participle_active 16 יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=ISA_40:9!12|MId=o230400090121|Strong=3389 17 הָרִ֙ימִי֙ רוּם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=lift.[it].up|Ref=ISA_40:9!13|MId=o230400090131|Strong=7311|Frame=AA:230400090111;A0:230400090101;|Type=imperative 18 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=ISA_40:9!14|MId=o230400090141|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 19 תִּירָ֔אִי יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=be.afraid|Ref=ISA_40:9!15|MId=o230400090151|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:230400090111;|Type=jussive 20 אִמְרִי֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=say|Ref=ISA_40:9!16|MId=o230400090161|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230400090111;|Type=imperative 21-22 לְעָרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_40:9!17|MId=o230400090171|Strong=3807a 22 עָרֵ֣י עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=the.cities|Ref=ISA_40:9!17|MId=o230400090172|Strong=5892 23 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=ISA_40:9!18|MId=o230400090181|Strong=3063 24 הִנֵּ֖ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 25 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=ISA_40:9!19|MId=o230400090191|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 25-26 אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 ccomp _ Gloss=God|Ref=ISA_40:9!20|MId=o230400090201|Strong=0430 26 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_40:9!20|MId=o230400090202|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_40:9!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
