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 — LORD, things, ye, hands — and what happens in the verse to Me, 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־אָמַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה קְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְיֹצְר֑וֹ הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת שְׁאָל֔וּנִי עַל־בָּנַ֛י וְעַל־פֹּ֥עַל יָדַ֖י תְּצַוֻּֽנִי׃ [Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask Me of the things that are to come; concerning My sons, and concerning the work of My hands, command ye Me.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1013/) ## 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:917 # text = כֹּֽה־אָמַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה קְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְיֹצְר֑וֹ הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת שְׁאָל֔וּנִי עַל־בָּנַ֛י וְעַל־פֹּ֥עַל יָדַ֖י תְּצַוֻּֽנִי׃ # verse = ISA.45.11 1 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=ISA_45:11!1|MId=o230450110011|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 2 אָמַ֧ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_45:11!2|MId=o230450110021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230450110031;|Type=qatal 3 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_45:11!3|MId=o230450110031|Strong=3068 4 קְד֥וֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.holy.[one]|Ref=ISA_45:11!4|MId=o230450110041|Strong=6918|Type=adjective 5 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=ISA_45:11!5|MId=o230450110051|Strong=3478 6-8 וְיֹצְר֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_45:11!6|MId=o230450110061|Strong=2050b 7 יֹצְר יָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=the.[one|Ref=ISA_45:11!6|MId=o230450110062|Strong=3335|Frame=A0:230450110031;A1:230450110063;|Type=participle_active 8 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].formed.it|Ref=ISA_45:11!6|MId=o230450110063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 הָאֹתִיּ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the.coming|Ref=ISA_45:11!7|MId=o230450110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אֹתִיּ֣וֹת אָתָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 11 xcomp _ Gloss=[things]|Ref=ISA_45:11!7|MId=o230450110072|Strong=0857|Type=participle_active 11-12 שְׁאָל֔וּנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 שְׁאָל֔וּ שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=ask|Ref=ISA_45:11!8|MId=o230450110081|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:230450110051;A1:230450110072;A2:230450110082;|Type=imperative 12 נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_45:11!8|MId=o230450110082|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_45:11!9|MId=o230450110091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 בָּנַ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בָּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=children|Ref=ISA_45:11!10|MId=o230450110101|Strong=1121 15 ַ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_45:11!10|MId=o230450110102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16-17 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_45:11!11|MId=o230450110111|Strong=2050b 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_45:11!11|MId=o230450110112|Strong=5921 18 פֹּ֥עַל פֹּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=the.work|Ref=ISA_45:11!12|MId=o230450110121|Strong=6467 19-20 יָדַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.hands|Ref=ISA_45:11!13|MId=o230450110131|Strong=3027 20 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_45:11!13|MId=o230450110132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 תְּצַוֻּֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 תְּצַוֻּֽ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 11 ccomp _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_45:11!14|MId=o230450110141|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:230450110051;A1:230450110142;|Type=yiqtol 22 נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=command.me|Ref=ISA_45:11!14|MId=o230450110142|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ISA_45:11!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יֹצְר *the \[one* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | וֹ *who\] formed it* | | | | שְׁאָלוּ *ask* | imperative · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *of Israel* | אֹתִיּוֹת *\[things\]* | נִי *me* | | | תְּצַוֻּֽ *you* | yiqtol · piel | יִשְׂרָאֵל *of Israel* | נִי *command me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
