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 hold, thee, uttermost parts, servant, 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. אֲשֶׁ֤ר הֶחֱזַקְתִּ֙יךָ֙ מִקְצ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵאֲצִילֶ֖יהָ קְרָאתִ֑יךָ וָאֹ֤מַר לְךָ֙ עַבְדִּי־אַ֔תָּה בְּחַרְתִּ֖יךָ וְלֹ֥א מְאַסְתִּֽיךָ׃ [Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the uttermost parts thereof, and said unto thee: 'Thou art My servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away';](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.884/) ## 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:805 # text = אֲשֶׁ֤ר הֶחֱזַקְתִּ֙יךָ֙ מִקְצ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵאֲצִילֶ֖יהָ קְרָאתִ֑יךָ וָאֹ֤מַר לְךָ֙ עַבְדִּי־אַ֔תָּה בְּחַרְתִּ֖יךָ וְלֹ֥א מְאַסְתִּֽיךָ׃ # verse = ISA.41.9 1 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=ISA_41:9!1|MId=o230410090011|Strong=0834|Type=relative 2-3 הֶחֱזַקְתִּ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הֶחֱזַקְתִּ֙י חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_41:9!2|MId=o230410090021|Strong=2388|Frame=AA:230410040081;A0:230410090022;|Type=qatal 3 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=took.hold.of.you|Ref=ISA_41:9!2|MId=o230410090022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4-5 מִקְצ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_41:9!3|MId=o230410090031|Strong=4480 5 קְצ֣וֹת קָצָה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.ends|Ref=ISA_41:9!3|MId=o230410090032|Strong=7098 6-7 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_41:9!4|MId=o230410090041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=ISA_41:9!4|MId=o230410090042|Strong=0776 8-11 וּמֵאֲצִילֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_41:9!5|MId=o230410090051|Strong=2050b 9 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_41:9!5|MId=o230410090052|Strong=4480 10 אֲצִילֶ֖י אָצִיל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=its.remotest|Ref=ISA_41:9!5|MId=o230410090053|Strong=0678 11 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=parts|Ref=ISA_41:9!5|MId=o230410090054|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 12-13 קְרָאתִ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 קְרָאתִ֑י קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_41:9!6|MId=o230410090061|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:230410040081;A1:230410090062;|Type=qatal 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=called.you|Ref=ISA_41:9!6|MId=o230410090062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-15 וָאֹ֤מַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_41:9!7|MId=o230410090071|Strong=2050b 15 אֹ֤מַר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=ISA_41:9!7|MId=o230410090072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230410040081;A1:230410090091;230410090111;230410090131;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_41:9!8|MId=o230410090081|Strong=3807a 17 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_41:9!8|MId=o230410090082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 עַבְדִּי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 ccomp _ Gloss=servant|Ref=ISA_41:9!9|MId=o230410090091|Strong=5650 19 ִי־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=ISA_41:9!9|MId=o230410090092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20 אַ֔תָּה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_41:9!10|MId=o230410090101|Strong=0859|Type=personal 21-22 בְּחַרְתִּ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּחַרְתִּ֖י בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 18 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_41:9!11|MId=o230410090111|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:230410040081;A1:230410090112;|Type=qatal 22 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=have.chosen.you|Ref=ISA_41:9!11|MId=o230410090112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_41:9!12|MId=o230410090121|Strong=2050b 24 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_41:9!12|MId=o230410090122|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25-26 מְאַסְתִּֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מְאַסְתִּֽי מָאַס VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 21 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_41:9!13|MId=o230410090131|Strong=3988|Frame=A0:230410040081;A1:230410090132;|Type=qatal 26 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=have.rejected.you|Ref=ISA_41:9!13|MId=o230410090132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_41:9!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֶחֱזַקְתִּי *I* | qatal · hiphil | ךָ *took hold of you* | | | | | קְרָאתִי *I* | qatal · qal | | ךָ *called you* | | | | אֹמַר *I said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | עַבְדּ *servant* + בְּחַרְתִּי *I* + מְאַסְתִּֽי *I* | | | | בְּחַרְתִּי *I* | qatal · qal | | ךָ *have chosen you* | | | | **not** מְאַסְתִּֽי *I* | qatal · qal | | ךָ *have rejected you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
