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, spirit — and what happens in the verse to heavens, earth, breath, 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. כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר הָאֵ֣ל ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בּוֹרֵ֤א הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְנ֣וֹטֵיהֶ֔ם רֹקַ֥ע הָאָ֖רֶץ וְצֶאֱצָאֶ֑יהָ נֹתֵ֤ן נְשָׁמָה֙ לָעָ֣ם עָלֶ֔יהָ וְר֖וּחַ לַהֹלְכִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ [Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it, He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.911/) ## 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:830 # text = כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר הָאֵ֣ל ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בּוֹרֵ֤א הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְנ֣וֹטֵיהֶ֔ם רֹקַ֥ע הָאָ֖רֶץ וְצֶאֱצָאֶ֑יהָ נֹתֵ֤ן נְשָׁמָה֙ לָעָ֣ם עָלֶ֔יהָ וְר֖וּחַ לַהֹלְכִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ # verse = ISA.42.5 1 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=ISA_42:5!1|MId=o230420050011|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָמַ֞ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_42:5!2|MId=o230420050021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230420050032;|Type=qatal 3-4 הָאֵ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_42:5!3|MId=o230420050031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אֵ֣ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=ISA_42:5!3|MId=o230420050032|Strong=0410 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=ISA_42:5!3 6 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_42:5!4|MId=o230420050041|Strong=3068 7 בּוֹרֵ֤א בָּרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 appos _ Gloss=[who].created|Ref=ISA_42:5!5|MId=o230420050051|Strong=1254|Frame=A0:230420050032;A1:230420050062;|Type=participle_active 8-9 הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_42:5!6|MId=o230420050061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 שָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=ISA_42:5!6|MId=o230420050062|Strong=8064 10-12 וְנ֣וֹטֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and.[who]|Ref=ISA_42:5!7|MId=o230420050071|Strong=2050b 11 נ֣וֹטֵי נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=stretched|Ref=ISA_42:5!7|MId=o230420050072|Strong=5186|Frame=A0:230420050032;A1:230420050073;|Type=participle_active 12 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=them.out|Ref=ISA_42:5!7|MId=o230420050073|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13 רֹקַ֥ע רָקַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=[who].beat.out|Ref=ISA_42:5!8|MId=o230420050081|Strong=7554|Frame=A0:230420050032;A1:230420050092;230420050102;|Type=participle_active 14-15 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_42:5!9|MId=o230420050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=earth|Ref=ISA_42:5!9|MId=o230420050092|Strong=0776 16-18 וְצֶאֱצָאֶ֑יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_42:5!10|MId=o230420050101|Strong=2050b 17 צֶאֱצָאֶ֑י צֶאֱצָאִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 conj _ Gloss=produce(s)|Ref=ISA_42:5!10|MId=o230420050102|Strong=6631 18 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=ISA_42:5!10|MId=o230420050103|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19 נֹתֵ֤ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=[who].gives|Ref=ISA_42:5!11|MId=o230420050111|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:230420050032;A1:230420050121;|Type=participle_active 20 נְשָׁמָה֙ נְשָׁמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=breath|Ref=ISA_42:5!12|MId=o230420050121|Strong=5397 21-23 לָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_42:5!13|MId=o230420050131|Strong=3807a 22 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_42:5!13|MId=o230420050131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=ISA_42:5!13|MId=o230420050132|Strong=5971 24-25 עָלֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 עָלֶ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_42:5!14|MId=o230420050141|Strong=5921 25 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_42:5!14|MId=o230420050142|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 26-27 וְר֖וּחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_42:5!15|MId=o230420050151|Strong=2050b 27 ר֖וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 conj _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=ISA_42:5!15|MId=o230420050152|Strong=7307 28-30 לַהֹלְכִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_42:5!16|MId=o230420050161|Strong=3807a 29 ה הַ SCONJ _ _ 30 mark _ Gloss=[those|Ref=ISA_42:5!16|MId=o230420050161ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 הֹלְכִ֥ים הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 27 advcl _ Gloss=who].walk|Ref=ISA_42:5!16|MId=o230420050162|Strong=1980|Type=participle_active 31-32 בָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_42:5!17|MId=o230420050171|Strong=0871a 32 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_42:5!17|MId=o230420050172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=ISA_42:5!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
