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, thou — and what happens in the verse to residue, me, god, 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. וּשְׁאֵ֣רִית֔וֹ לְאֵ֥ל עָשָׂ֖ה לְפִסְל֑וֹ יִסְגָּד־ל֤וֹ וְיִשְׁתַּ֙חוּ֙ וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל אֵלָ֔יו וְיֹאמַר֙ הַצִּילֵ֔נִי כִּ֥י אֵלִ֖י אָֽתָּה׃ [And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image; he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith: 'Deliver me, for thou art my god.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.989/) ## 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:895 # text = וּשְׁאֵ֣רִית֔וֹ לְאֵ֥ל עָשָׂ֖ה לְפִסְל֑וֹ יִסְגָּד־ל֤וֹ וְיִשְׁתַּ֙חוּ֙ וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל אֵלָ֔יו וְיֹאמַר֙ הַצִּילֵ֔נִי כִּ֥י אֵלִ֖י אָֽתָּה׃ # verse = ISA.44.17 1-3 וּשְׁאֵ֣רִית֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_44:17!1|MId=o230440170011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁאֵ֣רִית שְׁאֵרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=the.remainder|Ref=ISA_44:17!1|MId=o230440170012|Strong=7611 3 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=ISA_44:17!1|MId=o230440170013|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 4-5 לְאֵ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=ISA_44:17!2|MId=o230440170021|Strong=3807a 5 אֵ֥ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=god|Ref=ISA_44:17!2|MId=o230440170022|Strong=0410 6 עָשָׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.makes|Ref=ISA_44:17!3|MId=o230440170031|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:230440130011;A1:230440170012;|Type=qatal 7-9 לְפִסְל֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=ISA_44:17!4|MId=o230440170041|Strong=3807a 8 פִסְל פֶּסֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=idol|Ref=ISA_44:17!4|MId=o230440170042|Strong=6459 9 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_44:17!4|MId=o230440170043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 יִסְגָּד־ סָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=he.prostrates.himself|Ref=ISA_44:17!6|MId=o230440170061|Strong=5456|Frame=A0:230440130011;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 ל֤וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_44:17!7|MId=o230440170071|Strong=3807a 12 ֤וֹ סָגַד PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_44:17!7|MId=o230440170072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְיִשְׁתַּ֙חוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_44:17!8|MId=o230440170081|Strong=2050b 14 יִשְׁתַּ֙חוּ֙ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.bows.down|Ref=ISA_44:17!8|MId=o230440170082|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:230440130011;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 וְיִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_44:17!9|MId=o230440170091|Strong=2050b 16 יִתְפַּלֵּ֣ל פָּלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.prays|Ref=ISA_44:17!9|MId=o230440170092|Strong=6419|Frame=A0:230440130011;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 אֵלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֵלָ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_44:17!10|MId=o230440170101|Strong=0413 18 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_44:17!10|MId=o230440170102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְיֹאמַר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_44:17!11|MId=o230440170111|Strong=2050b 20 יֹאמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_44:17!11|MId=o230440170112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230440130011;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 הַצִּילֵ֔נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַצִּיל נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 20 ccomp _ Gloss=deliver|Ref=ISA_44:17!12|MId=o230440170121|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:230440170042;A0:230440170122;|Type=imperative 22 ֵ֔נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_44:17!12|MId=o230440170122|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 23 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_44:17!13|MId=o230440170131|Strong=3588 24-25 אֵלִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֵל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 advcl _ Gloss=god|Ref=ISA_44:17!14|MId=o230440170141|Strong=0410 25 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=ISA_44:17!14|MId=o230440170142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 אָֽתָּה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_44:17!15|MId=o230440170151|Strong=0859|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_44:17!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · neg | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָשָׂה *he makes* | qatal · qal | | שְׁאֵרִית *the remainder* | | | | יִסְגָּד־ *he prostrates himself* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִשְׁתַּחוּ *he bows down* | yiqtol | | | | | | יִתְפַּלֵּל *he prays* | yiqtol · hithpael | | | | | | יֹאמַר *he says* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הַצִּיל *deliver* | imperative · hiphil | ֵנִי *me* | | | פִסְל *idol* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
