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 — room, ye — and what happens in the verse to house, field, ye, midst, 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. ה֗וֹי מַגִּיעֵ֥י בַ֙יִת֙ בְּבַ֔יִת שָׂדֶ֥ה בְשָׂדֶ֖ה יַקְרִ֑יבוּ עַ֚ד אֶ֣פֶס מָק֔וֹם וְהֽוּשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם לְבַדְּכֶ֖ם בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.98/) ## 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:92 # text = ה֗וֹי מַגִּיעֵ֥י בַ֙יִת֙ בְּבַ֔יִת שָׂדֶ֥ה בְשָׂדֶ֖ה יַקְרִ֑יבוּ עַ֚ד אֶ֣פֶס מָק֔וֹם וְהֽוּשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם לְבַדְּכֶ֖ם בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = ISA.5.8 1 ה֗וֹי הוֹי INTJ _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=woe.to!|Ref=ISA_5:8!1|MId=o230050080011|Strong=1945|Type=interjection 2 מַגִּיעֵ֥י נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[those.who].make.touch|Ref=ISA_5:8!2|MId=o230050080021|Strong=5060|Frame=A1:230050080031;|Type=participle_active 3 בַ֙יִת֙ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=(of).a.house|Ref=ISA_5:8!3|MId=o230050080031|Strong=1004 4-5 בְּבַ֔יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(in).a|Ref=ISA_5:8!4|MId=o230050080041|Strong=0871a 5 בַ֔יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=ISA_5:8!4|MId=o230050080042|Strong=1004 6 שָׂדֶ֥ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=a.field|Ref=ISA_5:8!5|MId=o230050080051|Strong=7704 7-8 בְשָׂדֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_5:8!6|MId=o230050080061|Strong=0871a 8 שָׂדֶ֖ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=a.field|Ref=ISA_5:8!6|MId=o230050080062|Strong=7704 9 יַקְרִ֑יבוּ קָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.bring.near|Ref=ISA_5:8!7|MId=o230050080071|Strong=7126|Frame=AA:230050080021;A0:230050080051;|Type=yiqtol 10 עַ֚ד עַד ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=ISA_5:8!8|MId=o230050080081|Strong=5704 11 אֶ֣פֶס אֶפֶס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=there.not|Ref=ISA_5:8!9|MId=o230050080091|Strong=0657 12 מָק֔וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[is].room|Ref=ISA_5:8!10|MId=o230050080101|Strong=4725 13-14 וְהֽוּשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_5:8!11|MId=o230050080111|Strong=2050b 14 הֽוּשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=you.are.made.to.dwell|Ref=ISA_5:8!11|MId=o230050080112|Strong=3427|Frame=A1:230050080021;|Type=weqatal 15-17 לְבַדְּכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_5:8!12|MId=o230050080121|Strong=3807a 16 בַדּ בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_5:8!12|MId=o230050080122|Strong=0905 17 ְכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=alone|Ref=ISA_5:8!12|MId=o230050080123|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּקֶ֥רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_5:8!13|MId=o230050080131|Strong=0871a 19 קֶ֥רֶב קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=ISA_5:8!13|MId=o230050080132|Strong=7130 20-21 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_5:8!14|MId=o230050080141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=ISA_5:8!14|MId=o230050080142|Strong=0776 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_5:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מַגִּיעֵי *\[those who\] make touch* | participle active · hiphil | | בַיִת *(of) a house* | | | | יַקְרִיבוּ *they bring near* | yiqtol · hiphil | שָׂדֶה *a field* | | | מַגִּיעֵי *\[those who\] make touch* | | הֽוּשַׁבְתֶּם *you are made to dwell* | weqatal · hophal | | מַגִּיעֵי *\[those who\] make touch* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
