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, thou, thy — and what happens in the verse to thee, 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. לְמַ֙עַן֙ עַבְדִּ֣י יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּחִירִ֑י וָאֶקְרָ֤א לְךָ֙ בִּשְׁמֶ֔ךָ אֲכַנְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א יְדַעְתָּֽנִי׃ [For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel Mine elect, I have called thee by thy name, I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1005/) ## 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:910 # text = לְמַ֙עַן֙ עַבְדִּ֣י יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּחִירִ֑י וָאֶקְרָ֤א לְךָ֙ בִּשְׁמֶ֔ךָ אֲכַנְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א יְדַעְתָּֽנִי׃ # verse = ISA.45.4 1 לְמַ֙עַן֙ לְמַעַן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=for.the.sake.of|Ref=ISA_45:4!1|MId=o230450040011|Strong=4616 2-3 עַבְדִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=servant|Ref=ISA_45:4!2|MId=o230450040021|Strong=5650 3 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_45:4!2|MId=o230450040022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=ISA_45:4!3|MId=o230450040031|Strong=3290 5-6 וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_45:4!4|MId=o230450040041|Strong=2050b 6 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=ISA_45:4!4|MId=o230450040042|Strong=3478 7-8 בְּחִירִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּחִיר בָּחִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=one|Ref=ISA_45:4!5|MId=o230450040051|Strong=0972|Type=adjective 8 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my.chosen|Ref=ISA_45:4!5|MId=o230450040052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 וָאֶקְרָ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_45:4!6|MId=o230450040061|Strong=2050b 10 אֶקְרָ֤א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.summoned|Ref=ISA_45:4!6|MId=o230450040062|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:230450010031;|Type=wayyiqtol 11-12 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=ISA_45:4!7|MId=o230450040071|Strong=3807a 12 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_45:4!7|MId=o230450040072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13-15 בִּשְׁמֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=ISA_45:4!8|MId=o230450040081|Strong=0871a 14 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=name|Ref=ISA_45:4!8|MId=o230450040082|Strong=8034 15 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_45:4!8|MId=o230450040083|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 אֲכַנְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֲכַנּ כָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 ccomp _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_45:4!9|MId=o230450040091|Strong=3655|Frame=A0:230450010031;A1:230450040092;|Type=yiqtol 17 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=will.give.you.a.title|Ref=ISA_45:4!9|MId=o230450040092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_45:4!10|MId=o230450040101|Strong=2050b 19 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_45:4!10|MId=o230450040102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20-21 יְדַעְתָּֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 יְדַעְתָּֽ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 16 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_45:4!11|MId=o230450040111|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230450010042;A1:230450040112;|Type=qatal 21 נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=know.me|Ref=ISA_45:4!11|MId=o230450040112|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_45:4!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶקְרָא *I summoned* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אֲכַנּ *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ְךָ *will give you a title* | | | | **not** יְדַעְתָּֽ *you* | qatal · qal | | נִי *know me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
