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 — carpenter — and what happens in the verse to line, house, man, 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. חָרַ֣שׁ עֵצִים֮ נָ֣טָה קָו֒ יְתָאֲרֵ֣הוּ בַשֶּׂ֔רֶד יַעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ בַּמַּקְצֻע֔וֹת וּבַמְּחוּגָ֖ה יְתָאֳרֵ֑הוּ וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ כְּתַבְנִ֣ית אִ֔ישׁ כְּתִפְאֶ֥רֶת אָדָ֖ם לָשֶׁ֥בֶת בָּֽיִת׃ [The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in the house.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.985/) ## 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:891 # text = חָרַ֣שׁ עֵצִים֮ נָ֣טָה קָו֒ יְתָאֲרֵ֣הוּ בַשֶּׂ֔רֶד יַעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ בַּמַּקְצֻע֔וֹת וּבַמְּחוּגָ֖ה יְתָאֳרֵ֑הוּ וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ כְּתַבְנִ֣ית אִ֔ישׁ כְּתִפְאֶ֥רֶת אָדָ֖ם לָשֶׁ֥בֶת בָּֽיִת׃ # verse = ISA.44.13 1 חָרַ֣שׁ חָרָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=a.craftsman|Ref=ISA_44:13!1|MId=o230440130011|Strong=2796 2 עֵצִים֮ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wood(s)|Ref=ISA_44:13!2|MId=o230440130021|Strong=6086 3 נָ֣טָה נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.stretches.out|Ref=ISA_44:13!3|MId=o230440130031|Strong=5186|Frame=A0:230440130011;A1:230440130041;|Type=qatal 4 קָו֒ קַו NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=a.measuring-line|Ref=ISA_44:13!4|MId=o230440130041|Strong=6957 5-6 יְתָאֲרֵ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 יְתָאֲר תָּאַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_44:13!5|MId=o230440130051|Strong=8388a|Frame=A0:230440130011;A1:230440130052;|Type=yiqtol 6 ֵ֣הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=outlines.it|Ref=ISA_44:13!5|MId=o230440130052|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 7-9 בַשֶּׂ֔רֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_44:13!6|MId=o230440130061|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_44:13!6|MId=o230440130061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 שֶּׂ֔רֶד שֶׂרֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=marker|Ref=ISA_44:13!6|MId=o230440130062|Strong=8279 10-11 יַעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יַעֲשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_44:13!7|MId=o230440130071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:230440130011;A1:230440130072;|Type=yiqtol 11 ֵ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=works.it|Ref=ISA_44:13!7|MId=o230440130072|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 12-14 בַּמַּקְצֻע֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=with.(the)|Ref=ISA_44:13!8|MId=o230440130081|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=scraping|Ref=ISA_44:13!8|MId=o230440130081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מַּקְצֻע֔וֹת מַקְצֻעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=tools|Ref=ISA_44:13!8|MId=o230440130082|Strong=4741 15-18 וּבַמְּחוּגָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_44:13!9|MId=o230440130091|Strong=2050b 16 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_44:13!9|MId=o230440130092|Strong=0871a 17 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_44:13!9|MId=o230440130092ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מְּחוּגָ֖ה מְחוּגָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=compass|Ref=ISA_44:13!9|MId=o230440130093|Strong=4230 19-20 יְתָאֳרֵ֑הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יְתָאֳר תָּאַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_44:13!10|MId=o230440130101|Strong=8388a|Frame=A0:230440130011;A1:230440130102;|Type=yiqtol 20 ֵ֑הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=outlines.it|Ref=ISA_44:13!10|MId=o230440130102|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 21-23 וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_44:13!11|MId=o230440130111|Strong=2050b 22 יַּעֲשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_44:13!11|MId=o230440130112|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:230440130011;A1:230440130113;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 ֵ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=made.it|Ref=ISA_44:13!11|MId=o230440130113|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 24-25 כְּתַבְנִ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=ISA_44:13!12|MId=o230440130121|Strong=3509a 25 תַבְנִ֣ית תַּבְנִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=form|Ref=ISA_44:13!12|MId=o230440130122|Strong=8403 26 אִ֔ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.man|Ref=ISA_44:13!13|MId=o230440130131|Strong=0376 27-28 כְּתִפְאֶ֥רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=ISA_44:13!14|MId=o230440130141|Strong=3509a 28 תִפְאֶ֥רֶת תִּפְאֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 conj _ Gloss=beauty|Ref=ISA_44:13!14|MId=o230440130142|Strong=8597 29 אָדָ֖ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.man|Ref=ISA_44:13!15|MId=o230440130151|Strong=0120 30-31 לָשֶׁ֥בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_44:13!16|MId=o230440130161|Strong=3807a 31 שֶׁ֥בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 22 advcl _ Gloss=dwell|Ref=ISA_44:13!16|MId=o230440130162|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:230440100042;|Type=infinitive_construct 32 בָּֽיִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=a.house|Ref=ISA_44:13!17|MId=o230440130171|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=ISA_44:13!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
