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 — and what happens in the verse to mouth, me, shadow, polished shaft, quiver, hand, 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. וַיָּ֤שֶׂם פִּי֙ כְּחֶ֣רֶב חַדָּ֔ה בְּצֵ֥ל יָד֖וֹ הֶחְבִּיאָ֑נִי וַיְשִׂימֵ֙נִי֙ לְחֵ֣ץ בָּר֔וּר בְּאַשְׁפָּת֖וֹ הִסְתִּירָֽנִי׃ [And He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of His hand hath He hid me; and He hath made me a polished shaft, in His quiver hath He concealed me;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1084/) ## 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:983 # text = וַיָּ֤שֶׂם פִּי֙ כְּחֶ֣רֶב חַדָּ֔ה בְּצֵ֥ל יָד֖וֹ הֶחְבִּיאָ֑נִי וַיְשִׂימֵ֙נִי֙ לְחֵ֣ץ בָּר֔וּר בְּאַשְׁפָּת֖וֹ הִסְתִּירָֽנִי׃ # verse = ISA.49.2 1-2 וַיָּ֤שֶׂם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:2!1|MId=o230490020011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּ֤שֶׂם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=ISA_49:2!1|MId=o230490020012|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:230490010071;A1:230490020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 פִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 פּ פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=ISA_49:2!2|MId=o230490020021|Strong=6310 4 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_49:2!2|MId=o230490020022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5-6 כְּחֶ֣רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_49:2!3|MId=o230490020031|Strong=3509a 6 חֶ֣רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=ISA_49:2!3|MId=o230490020032|Strong=2719 7 חַדָּ֔ה חַד ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 amod _ Gloss=sharp|Ref=ISA_49:2!4|MId=o230490020041|Strong=2299|Type=adjective 8-9 בְּצֵ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_49:2!5|MId=o230490020051|Strong=0871a 9 צֵ֥ל צֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.shadow|Ref=ISA_49:2!5|MId=o230490020052|Strong=6738 10-11 יָד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.hand|Ref=ISA_49:2!6|MId=o230490020061|Strong=3027 11 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_49:2!6|MId=o230490020062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 הֶחְבִּיאָ֑נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הֶחְבִּיא חָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_49:2!7|MId=o230490020071|Strong=2244|Frame=AA:230490010071;A0:230490020072;|Type=qatal 13 ָ֑נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=hid.me|Ref=ISA_49:2!7|MId=o230490020072|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 14-16 וַיְשִׂימֵ֙נִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:2!8|MId=o230490020081|Strong=2050b 15 יְשִׂימ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_49:2!8|MId=o230490020082|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:230490010071;A1:230490020083;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 ֵ֙נִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=made.me|Ref=ISA_49:2!8|MId=o230490020083|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 17-18 לְחֵ֣ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(into).an|Ref=ISA_49:2!9|MId=o230490020091|Strong=3807a 18 חֵ֣ץ חֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=arrow|Ref=ISA_49:2!9|MId=o230490020092|Strong=2671 19 בָּר֔וּר בָּרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 18 nmod _ Gloss=polished|Ref=ISA_49:2!10|MId=o230490020101|Strong=1305a|Frame=A1:230490020092;|Type=participle_passive 20-22 בְּאַשְׁפָּת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_49:2!11|MId=o230490020111|Strong=0871a 21 אַשְׁפָּת אַשְׁפָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=quiver|Ref=ISA_49:2!11|MId=o230490020112|Strong=0827 22 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_49:2!11|MId=o230490020113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 הִסְתִּירָֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הִסְתִּיר סָתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_49:2!12|MId=o230490020121|Strong=5641|Frame=AA:230490010071;A0:230490020122;|Type=qatal 24 ָֽנִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=concealed.me|Ref=ISA_49:2!12|MId=o230490020122|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:2!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּשֶׂם *he made* | wayyiqtol · qal | | פּ *mouth* | | | | הֶחְבִּיא *he* | qatal · hiphil | ָנִי *hid me* | | | | | יְשִׂימ *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | | ֵנִי *made me* | | | | בָּרוּר *polished* | participle passive · qal | | חֵץ *arrow* | | | | הִסְתִּיר *he* | qatal · hiphil | ָֽנִי *concealed me* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
