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 GOD, I, GOD — and what happens in the verse to tongue, me, GOD, ear, 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. אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֗ה נָ֤תַן לִי֙ לְשׁ֣וֹן לִמּוּדִ֔ים לָדַ֛עַת לָע֥וּת אֶת־יָעֵ֖ף דָּבָ֑ר יָעִ֣יר ׀ בַּבֹּ֣קֶר בַּבֹּ֗קֶר יָעִ֥יר לִי֙ אֹ֔זֶן לִשְׁמֹ֖עַ כַּלִּמּוּדִֽים׃ [The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary; He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1121/) ## 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:1011 # text = אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֗ה נָ֤תַן לִי֙ לְשׁ֣וֹן לִמּוּדִ֔ים לָדַ֛עַת לָע֥וּת אֶת־יָעֵ֖ף דָּבָ֑ר יָעִ֣יר ׀ בַּבֹּ֣קֶר בַּבֹּ֗קֶר יָעִ֥יר לִי֙ אֹ֔זֶן לִשְׁמֹ֖עַ כַּלִּמּוּדִֽים׃ # verse = ISA.50.4 1-2 אֲדֹנָ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=ISA_50:4!1|MId=o230500040011|Strong=0136 2 ָ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=ISA_50:4!1|MId=o230500040012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3 יְהֹוִ֗ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 1 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_50:4!2|MId=o230500040021|Strong=3069 4 נָ֤תַן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=ISA_50:4!3|MId=o230500040031|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:230500040011;A1:230500040051;|Type=qatal 5-6 לִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_50:4!4|MId=o230500040041|Strong=3807a 6 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_50:4!4|MId=o230500040042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7 לְשׁ֣וֹן לָשׁוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=a.tongue|Ref=ISA_50:4!5|MId=o230500040051|Strong=3956 8 לִמּוּדִ֔ים לִמֻּד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.disciples|Ref=ISA_50:4!6|MId=o230500040061|Strong=3928|Type=adjective 9-10 לָדַ֛עַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_50:4!7|MId=o230500040071|Strong=3807a 10 דַ֛עַת יָדַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 xcomp _ Gloss=know|Ref=ISA_50:4!7|MId=o230500040072|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230420010021;|Type=infinitive_construct 11-12 לָע֥וּת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_50:4!8|MId=o230500040081|Strong=3807a 12 ע֥וּת עוּת VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=help|Ref=ISA_50:4!8|MId=o230500040082|Strong=5790|Frame=A0:230420010021;A1:230500040101;|Type=infinitive_construct 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_50:4!9|MId=o230500040091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14 יָעֵ֖ף יָעֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=[the].weary|Ref=ISA_50:4!10|MId=o230500040101|Strong=3287|Type=adjective 15 דָּבָ֑ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=a.word|Ref=ISA_50:4!11|MId=o230500040111|Strong=1697 16 יָעִ֣יר עוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=he.awakens|Ref=ISA_50:4!12|MId=o230500040121|Strong=5782|Frame=AA:230500040011;A0:230420010021;|Type=yiqtol 17 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=ISA_50:4!12 18-20 בַּבֹּ֣קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_50:4!13|MId=o230500040131|Strong=0871a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_50:4!13|MId=o230500040131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 בֹּ֣קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=morning|Ref=ISA_50:4!13|MId=o230500040132|Strong=1242 21-23 בַּבֹּ֗קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_50:4!14|MId=o230500040141|Strong=0871a 22 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_50:4!14|MId=o230500040141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 בֹּ֗קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=morning|Ref=ISA_50:4!14|MId=o230500040142|Strong=1242 24 יָעִ֥יר עוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=he.awakens|Ref=ISA_50:4!15|MId=o230500040151|Strong=5782|Frame=AA:230500040011;A0:230500040171;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 לִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ל לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_50:4!16|MId=o230500040161|Strong=3807a 26 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_50:4!16|MId=o230500040162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 27 אֹ֔זֶן אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=ear|Ref=ISA_50:4!17|MId=o230500040171|Strong=0241 28-29 לִשְׁמֹ֖עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_50:4!18|MId=o230500040181|Strong=3807a 29 שְׁמֹ֖עַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 24 advcl _ Gloss=hear|Ref=ISA_50:4!18|MId=o230500040182|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230420010021;|Type=infinitive_construct 30-32 כַּלִּמּוּדִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_50:4!19|MId=o230500040191|Strong=3509a 31 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_50:4!19|MId=o230500040191ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 לִּמּוּדִֽים לִמֻּד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 obl _ Gloss=disciples|Ref=ISA_50:4!19|MId=o230500040192|Strong=3928|Type=adjective 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=ISA_50:4!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
