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, people — and what happens in the verse to thee, land, desolate heritages, 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. כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה בְּעֵ֤ת רָצוֹן֙ עֲנִיתִ֔יךָ וּבְי֥וֹם יְשׁוּעָ֖ה עֲזַרְתִּ֑יךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ֗ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ֙ לִבְרִ֣ית עָ֔ם לְהָקִ֣ים אֶ֔רֶץ לְהַנְחִ֖יל נְחָל֥וֹת שֹׁמֵמֽוֹת׃ [Thus saith the LORD: In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1090/) ## 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:989 # text = כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה בְּעֵ֤ת רָצוֹן֙ עֲנִיתִ֔יךָ וּבְי֥וֹם יְשׁוּעָ֖ה עֲזַרְתִּ֑יךָ וְאֶצָּרְךָ֗ וְאֶתֶּנְךָ֙ לִבְרִ֣ית עָ֔ם לְהָקִ֣ים אֶ֔רֶץ לְהַנְחִ֖יל נְחָל֥וֹת שֹׁמֵמֽוֹת׃ # verse = ISA.49.8 1 כֹּ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=ISA_49:8!1|MId=o230490080011|Strong=3541 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:8!1 3 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ISA_49:8!2|MId=o230490080021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230490080031;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_49:8!3|MId=o230490080031|Strong=3068 5-6 בְּעֵ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_49:8!4|MId=o230490080041|Strong=0871a 6 עֵ֤ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=a.time|Ref=ISA_49:8!4|MId=o230490080042|Strong=6256 7 רָצוֹן֙ רָצוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.favor|Ref=ISA_49:8!5|MId=o230490080051|Strong=7522 8-9 עֲנִיתִ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 עֲנִיתִ֔י עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 ccomp _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_49:8!6|MId=o230490080061|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:230490080031;A1:230490080062;|Type=qatal 9 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=will.answer.you|Ref=ISA_49:8!6|MId=o230490080062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-12 וּבְי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:8!7|MId=o230490080071|Strong=2050b 11 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_49:8!7|MId=o230490080072|Strong=0871a 12 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=ISA_49:8!7|MId=o230490080073|Strong=3117 13 יְשׁוּעָ֖ה יְשׁוּעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.salvation|Ref=ISA_49:8!8|MId=o230490080081|Strong=3444 14-15 עֲזַרְתִּ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 עֲזַרְתִּ֑י עָזַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_49:8!9|MId=o230490080091|Strong=5826|Frame=A0:230490080031;A1:230490080092;|Type=qatal 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=will.help.you|Ref=ISA_49:8!9|MId=o230490080092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-18 וְאֶצָּרְךָ֗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:8!10|MId=o230490080101|Strong=2050b 17 אֶצָּר נָצַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_49:8!10|MId=o230490080102|Strong=5341|Frame=A0:230490080031;A1:230490080103;|Type=yiqtol 18 ְךָ֗ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=will.watch.over.you|Ref=ISA_49:8!10|MId=o230490080103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19-21 וְאֶתֶּנְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_49:8!11|MId=o230490080111|Strong=2050b 20 אֶתֶּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_49:8!11|MId=o230490080112|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:230490080031;A1:230490080113;|Type=yiqtol 21 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=will.make.you|Ref=ISA_49:8!11|MId=o230490080113|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22-23 לִבְרִ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=ISA_49:8!12|MId=o230490080121|Strong=3807a 23 בְרִ֣ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=ISA_49:8!12|MId=o230490080122|Strong=1285 24 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].people|Ref=ISA_49:8!13|MId=o230490080131|Strong=5971 25-26 לְהָקִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_49:8!14|MId=o230490080141|Strong=3807a 26 הָקִ֣ים קוּם VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 20 xcomp _ Gloss=raise.up|Ref=ISA_49:8!14|MId=o230490080142|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:230490070231;A0:230490080151;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 אֶ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 obj _ Gloss=[the].land|Ref=ISA_49:8!15|MId=o230490080151|Strong=0776 28-29 לְהַנְחִ֖יל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_49:8!16|MId=o230490080161|Strong=3807a 29 הַנְחִ֖יל נָחַל VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 26 conj _ Gloss=give.as.inheritance|Ref=ISA_49:8!16|MId=o230490080162|Strong=5157|Frame=AA:230490070231;A0:230490080171;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 נְחָל֥וֹת נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 29 obj _ Gloss=inheritances|Ref=ISA_49:8!17|MId=o230490080171|Strong=5159 31 שֹׁמֵמֽוֹת שָׁמֵם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 30 nmod _ Gloss=desolate|Ref=ISA_49:8!18|MId=o230490080181|Strong=8074|Frame=A0:230490080171;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=ISA_49:8!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
