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, God — and what happens in the verse to me, womb, servant, Jacob, LORD, Israel, 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. וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה יֹצְרִ֤י מִבֶּ֙טֶן֙ לְעֶ֣בֶד ל֔וֹ לְשׁוֹבֵ֤ב יַֽעֲקֹב֙ אֵלָ֔יו וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל ל֣וֹ יֵאָסֵ֑ף וְאֶכָּבֵד֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וֵאלֹהַ֖י הָיָ֥ה עֻזִּֽי׃ [And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, and that Israel be gathered unto Him — for I am honourable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God is become my strength —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1087/) ## 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:986 # text = וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה יֹצְרִ֤י מִבֶּ֙טֶן֙ לְעֶ֣בֶד ל֔וֹ לְשׁוֹבֵ֤ב יַֽעֲקֹב֙ אֵלָ֔יו וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל ל֣וֹ יֵאָסֵ֑ף וְאֶכָּבֵד֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וֵאלֹהַ֖י הָיָ֥ה עֻזִּֽי׃ # verse = ISA.49.5 1-2 וְעַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:5!1|MId=o230490050011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֣ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=ISA_49:5!1|MId=o230490050012|Strong=6258 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:5!1 4 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_49:5!2|MId=o230490050021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230490050031;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_49:5!3|MId=o230490050031|Strong=3068 6-7 יֹצְרִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 יֹצְר יָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=[who].formed|Ref=ISA_49:5!4|MId=o230490050041|Strong=3335|Frame=A0:230490050031;A1:230490050042;|Type=participle_active 7 ִ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_49:5!4|MId=o230490050042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8-9 מִבֶּ֙טֶן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=ISA_49:5!5|MId=o230490050051|Strong=4480 9 בֶּ֙טֶן֙ בֶּטֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=womb|Ref=ISA_49:5!5|MId=o230490050052|Strong=0990 10-11 לְעֶ֣בֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=ISA_49:5!6|MId=o230490050061|Strong=3807a 11 עֶ֣בֶד עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=servant|Ref=ISA_49:5!6|MId=o230490050062|Strong=5650 12-13 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_49:5!7|MId=o230490050071|Strong=3807a 13 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_49:5!7|MId=o230490050072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 לְשׁוֹבֵ֤ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_49:5!8|MId=o230490050081|Strong=3807a 15 שׁוֹבֵ֤ב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=POLEL 6 advcl _ Gloss=bring.back|Ref=ISA_49:5!8|MId=o230490050082|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:230420010021;A1:230490050091;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 יַֽעֲקֹב֙ יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 15 obj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=ISA_49:5!9|MId=o230490050091|Strong=3290 17-18 אֵלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֵלָ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_49:5!10|MId=o230490050101|Strong=0413 18 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=ISA_49:5!10|MId=o230490050102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:5!11|MId=o230490050111|Strong=2050b 20 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 23 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=ISA_49:5!11|MId=o230490050112|Strong=3478 21-22 ל֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_49:5!13|MId=o230490050131|Strong=3807a 22 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=ISA_49:5!13|MId=o230490050132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 יֵאָסֵ֑ף אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.gathered|Ref=ISA_49:5!14|MId=o230490050141|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:230490050112;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 וְאֶכָּבֵד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:5!15|MId=o230490050151|Strong=2050b 25 אֶכָּבֵד֙ כָּבֵד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.be.honored|Ref=ISA_49:5!15|MId=o230490050152|Strong=3513|Frame=A1:230420010021;|Type=yiqtol 26-27 בְּעֵינֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_49:5!16|MId=o230490050161|Strong=0871a 27 עֵינֵ֣י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 25 obl _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=ISA_49:5!16|MId=o230490050162|Strong=5869 28 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ISA_49:5!17|MId=o230490050171|Strong=3068 29-31 וֵאלֹהַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וֵ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:5!18|MId=o230490050181|Strong=2050b 30 אלֹה אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 33 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=ISA_49:5!18|MId=o230490050182|Strong=0430 31 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_49:5!18|MId=o230490050183|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 32 הָיָ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 33 cop _ Gloss=he.has.been|Ref=ISA_49:5!19|MId=o230490050191|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230490050182;|Type=qatal 33-34 עֻזִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 עֻזּ עֹז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=strength|Ref=ISA_49:5!20|MId=o230490050201|Strong=5797 34 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_49:5!20|MId=o230490050202|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:5!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
