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, I — and what happens in the verse to captives, prey, children, 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. כִּי־כֹ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה גַּם־שְׁבִ֤י גִבּוֹר֙ יֻקָּ֔ח וּמַלְק֥וֹחַ עָרִ֖יץ יִמָּלֵ֑ט וְאֶת־יְרִיבֵךְ֙ אָנֹכִ֣י אָרִ֔יב וְאֶת־בָּנַ֖יִךְ אָנֹכִ֥י אוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ [But thus saith the LORD: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; and I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1111/) ## 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:1006 # text = כִּי־כֹ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה גַּם־שְׁבִ֤י גִבּוֹר֙ יֻקָּ֔ח וּמַלְק֥וֹחַ עָרִ֖יץ יִמָּלֵ֑ט וְאֶת־יְרִיבֵךְ֙ אָנֹכִ֣י אָרִ֔יב וְאֶת־בָּנַ֖יִךְ אָנֹכִ֥י אוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ # verse = ISA.49.25 1 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_49:25!1|MId=o230490250011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 כֹ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=ISA_49:25!2|MId=o230490250021|Strong=3541 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:25!2 4 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_49:25!3|MId=o230490250031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230490250041;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_49:25!4|MId=o230490250041|Strong=3068 6 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=ISA_49:25!5|MId=o230490250051|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 7 שְׁבִ֤י שְׁבִי NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=a.captive|Ref=ISA_49:25!6|MId=o230490250061|Strong=7628 8 גִבּוֹר֙ גִּבּוֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.warrior|Ref=ISA_49:25!7|MId=o230490250071|Strong=1368|Type=adjective 9 יֻקָּ֔ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 ccomp _ Gloss=he.will.be.taken|Ref=ISA_49:25!8|MId=o230490250081|Strong=3947|Frame=A1:230490250061;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 וּמַלְק֥וֹחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=ISA_49:25!9|MId=o230490250091|Strong=2050b 11 מַלְק֥וֹחַ מַלְקוֹחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=booty|Ref=ISA_49:25!9|MId=o230490250092|Strong=4455 12 עָרִ֖יץ עָרִיץ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 amod _ Gloss=of.a.ruthless.[person]|Ref=ISA_49:25!10|MId=o230490250101|Strong=6184|Type=adjective 13 יִמָּלֵ֑ט מָלַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.delivered|Ref=ISA_49:25!11|MId=o230490250111|Strong=4422|Frame=A1:230490250092;|Type=yiqtol 14-15 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:25!12|MId=o230490250121|Strong=2050b 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_49:25!12|MId=o230490250122|Strong=0854 16-17 יְרִיבֵךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 יְרִיב יָרִיב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=opponent|Ref=ISA_49:25!13|MId=o230490250131|Strong=3401 17 ֵךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_49:25!13|MId=o230490250132|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 18 אָנֹכִ֣י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_49:25!14|MId=o230490250141|Strong=0595|Type=personal 19 אָרִ֔יב רִיב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 conj _ Gloss=I.will.oppose|Ref=ISA_49:25!15|MId=o230490250151|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:230490250141;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:25!16|MId=o230490250161|Strong=2050b 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_49:25!16|MId=o230490250162|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 22-23 בָּנַ֖יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בָּנַ֖י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=children|Ref=ISA_49:25!17|MId=o230490250171|Strong=1121 23 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_49:25!17|MId=o230490250172|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 24 אָנֹכִ֥י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_49:25!18|MId=o230490250181|Strong=0595|Type=personal 25 אוֹשִֽׁיעַ יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 conj _ Gloss=I.will.save|Ref=ISA_49:25!19|MId=o230490250191|Strong=3467|Frame=A0:230490250171;AA:230490250181;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:25!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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* | | | | | יֻקָּח *he will be taken* | yiqtol · pual | | שְׁבִי *a captive* | | | | יִמָּלֵט *it will be delivered* | yiqtol · niphal | | מַלְקוֹחַ *booty* | | | | אָרִיב *I will oppose* | yiqtol · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* | | | | | אוֹשִֽׁיעַ *I will save* | yiqtol · hiphil | בָּנַי *children* | | | אָנֹכִי *I* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
