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 — goldsmith — and what happens in the verse to gold, bag, silver, balance, goldsmith, 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. הַזָּלִ֤ים זָהָב֙ מִכִּ֔יס וְכֶ֖סֶף בַּקָּנֶ֣ה יִשְׁקֹ֑לוּ יִשְׂכְּר֤וּ צוֹרֵף֙ וְיַעֲשֵׂ֣הוּ אֵ֔ל יִסְגְּד֖וּ אַף־יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ׃ [Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1035/) ## 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:937 # text = הַזָּלִ֤ים זָהָב֙ מִכִּ֔יס וְכֶ֖סֶף בַּקָּנֶ֣ה יִשְׁקֹ֑לוּ יִשְׂכְּר֤וּ צוֹרֵף֙ וְיַעֲשֵׂ֣הוּ אֵ֔ל יִסְגְּד֖וּ אַף־יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ׃ # verse = ISA.46.6 1-2 הַזָּלִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=[those|Ref=ISA_46:6!1|MId=o230460060011|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 2 זָּלִ֤ים זוּל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=who].pour.out|Ref=ISA_46:6!1|MId=o230460060012|Strong=2107|Frame=A1:230460060021;|Type=participle_active 3 זָהָב֙ זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=gold|Ref=ISA_46:6!2|MId=o230460060021|Strong=2091 4-5 מִכִּ֔יס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_46:6!3|MId=o230460060031|Strong=4480 5 כִּ֔יס כִּיס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.bag|Ref=ISA_46:6!3|MId=o230460060032|Strong=3599 6-7 וְכֶ֖סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_46:6!4|MId=o230460060041|Strong=2050b 7 כֶ֖סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=ISA_46:6!4|MId=o230460060042|Strong=3701 8-10 בַּקָּנֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_46:6!5|MId=o230460060051|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_46:6!5|MId=o230460060051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 קָּנֶ֣ה קָנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=scale[s]|Ref=ISA_46:6!5|MId=o230460060052|Strong=7070 11 יִשְׁקֹ֑לוּ שָׁקַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.weigh.out|Ref=ISA_46:6!6|MId=o230460060061|Strong=8254|Frame=A0:;A1:230460060042;|Type=yiqtol 12 יִשְׂכְּר֤וּ שָׂכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.hire|Ref=ISA_46:6!7|MId=o230460060071|Strong=7936|Frame=A0:230460060012;A1:230460060081;|Type=yiqtol 13 צוֹרֵף֙ צָרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=a.metalsmith|Ref=ISA_46:6!8|MId=o230460060081|Strong=6884|Type=participle_active 14-16 וְיַעֲשֵׂ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_46:6!9|MId=o230460060091|Strong=2050b 15 יַעֲשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_46:6!9|MId=o230460060092|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:230460060081;A1:230460060093;|Type=yiqtol 16 ֵ֣הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=makes.it|Ref=ISA_46:6!9|MId=o230460060093|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 17 אֵ֔ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 xcomp _ Gloss=a.god|Ref=ISA_46:6!10|MId=o230460060101|Strong=0410 18 יִסְגְּד֖וּ סָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=they.prostrate.themselves|Ref=ISA_46:6!11|MId=o230460060111|Strong=5456|Frame=A0:230460060012;|Type=yiqtol 19 אַף־ אַף ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=ISA_46:6!12|MId=o230460060121|Strong=0637|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 20 יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 parataxis _ Gloss=they.bow.down|Ref=ISA_46:6!13|MId=o230460060131|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:230460060012;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=ISA_46:6!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | זָּלִים *who\] pour out* | participle active · qal | | זָהָב *gold* | | | | יִשְׁקֹלוּ *they weigh out* | yiqtol · qal | | כֶסֶף *silver* | | | | יִשְׂכְּרוּ *they hire* | yiqtol · qal | זָּלִים *who\] pour out* | צוֹרֵף *a metalsmith* | | | | יַעֲשׂ *he* | yiqtol · qal | צוֹרֵף *a metalsmith* | ֵהוּ *makes it* | | | | יִסְגְּדוּ *they prostrate themselves* | yiqtol · qal | זָּלִים *who\] pour out* | | | | | יִֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ *they bow down* | yiqtol | זָּלִים *who\] pour out* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
