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 — astrologers, fire — and what happens in the verse to astrologers, power, coal, 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. הִנֵּ֨ה הָי֤וּ כְקַשׁ֙ אֵ֣שׁ שְׂרָפָ֔תַם לֹֽא־יַצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־נַפְשָׁ֖ם מִיַּ֣ד לֶֽהָבָ֑ה אֵין־גַּחֶ֣לֶת לַחְמָ֔ם א֖וּר לָשֶׁ֥בֶת נֶגְדּֽוֹ׃ [Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1056/) ## 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:958 # text = הִנֵּ֨ה הָי֤וּ כְקַשׁ֙ אֵ֣שׁ שְׂרָפָ֔תַם לֹֽא־יַצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־נַפְשָׁ֖ם מִיַּ֣ד לֶֽהָבָ֑ה אֵין־גַּחֶ֣לֶת לַחְמָ֔ם א֖וּר לָשֶׁ֥בֶת נֶגְדּֽוֹ׃ # verse = ISA.47.14 1 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 4 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=ISA_47:14!1|MId=o230470140011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 הָי֤וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=they.have.become|Ref=ISA_47:14!2|MId=o230470140021|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230470130081;|Type=qatal 3-4 כְקַשׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_47:14!3|MId=o230470140031|Strong=3509a 4 קַשׁ֙ קַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=chaff|Ref=ISA_47:14!3|MId=o230470140032|Strong=7179 5 אֵ֣שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=ISA_47:14!4|MId=o230470140041|Strong=0784 6-7 שְׂרָפָ֔תַם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שְׂרָפָ֔ת שָׂרַף VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_47:14!5|MId=o230470140051|Strong=8313|Frame=A0:230470140041;A1:230470140052;|Type=qatal 7 ַם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=has.burned.them|Ref=ISA_47:14!5|MId=o230470140052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_47:14!6|MId=o230470140061|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9 יַצִּ֥ילוּ נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.deliver|Ref=ISA_47:14!7|MId=o230470140071|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:230470130081;A0:230470140091;|Type=yiqtol 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_47:14!8|MId=o230470140081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 נַפְשָׁ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=self|Ref=ISA_47:14!9|MId=o230470140091|Strong=5315 12 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_47:14!9|MId=o230470140092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13-14 מִיַּ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=ISA_47:14!10|MId=o230470140101|Strong=4480 14 יַּ֣ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=ISA_47:14!10|MId=o230470140102|Strong=3027 15 לֶֽהָבָ֑ה לֶהָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].flame|Ref=ISA_47:14!11|MId=o230470140111|Strong=3852 16 אֵין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 parataxis _ Gloss=there.[will].not.[be]|Ref=ISA_47:14!12|MId=o230470140121|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 17 גַּחֶ֣לֶת גַּחֶלֶת NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=coal|Ref=ISA_47:14!13|MId=o230470140131|Strong=1513a 18-19 לַחְמָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_47:14!14|MId=o230470140141|Strong=3807a 19 חְמָ֔ם חָמַם VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 advcl _ Gloss=be.warm|Ref=ISA_47:14!14|MId=o230470140142|Strong=2552|Frame=A0:230470130081;|Type=infinitive_construct 20 א֖וּר אוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 parataxis _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=ISA_47:14!15|MId=o230470140151|Strong=0217 21-22 לָשֶׁ֥בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_47:14!16|MId=o230470140161|Strong=3807a 22 שֶׁ֥בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 advcl _ Gloss=sit|Ref=ISA_47:14!16|MId=o230470140162|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:230470130081;|Type=infinitive_construct 23-24 נֶגְדּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 נֶגְדּ נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=ISA_47:14!17|MId=o230470140171|Strong=5048 24 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_47:14!17|MId=o230470140172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_47:14!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיוּ *they have become* | qatal · qal | | | | | | שְׂרָפָת *it* | qatal · qal | אֵשׁ *a fire* | ַם *has burned them* | | | | **not** יַצִּילוּ *they will deliver* | yiqtol · hiphil | נַפְשׁ *self* | | | | | חְמָם *be warm* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | שֶׁבֶת *sit* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
