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 — and what happens in the verse to Zion, waste places, wilderness, joy, 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. כִּֽי־נִחַ֨ם יְהוָ֜ה צִיּ֗וֹן נִחַם֙ כָּל־חָרְבֹתֶ֔יהָ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם מִדְבָּרָהּ֙ כְּעֵ֔דֶן וְעַרְבָתָ֖הּ כְּגַן־יְהוָ֑ה שָׂשׂ֤וֹן וְשִׂמְחָה֙ יִמָּ֣צֵא בָ֔הּ תּוֹדָ֖ה וְק֥וֹל זִמְרָֽה׃ס [For the LORD hath comforted Zion; He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1133/) ## 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:1021 # text = כִּֽי־נִחַ֨ם יְהוָ֜ה צִיּ֗וֹן נִחַם֙ כָּל־חָרְבֹתֶ֔יהָ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם מִדְבָּרָהּ֙ כְּעֵ֔דֶן וְעַרְבָתָ֖הּ כְּגַן־יְהוָ֑ה שָׂשׂ֤וֹן וְשִׂמְחָה֙ יִמָּ֣צֵא בָ֔הּ תּוֹדָ֖ה וְק֥וֹל זִמְרָֽה׃ס # verse = ISA.51.3 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_51:3!1|MId=o230510030011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 נִחַ֨ם נָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.comfort|Ref=ISA_51:3!2|MId=o230510030021|Strong=5162|Frame=A0:230510030031;A1:230510030041;|Type=qatal 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_51:3!3|MId=o230510030031|Strong=3068 4 צִיּ֗וֹן צִיּוֹן PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Zion|Ref=ISA_51:3!4|MId=o230510030041|Strong=6726 5 נִחַם֙ נָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.comfort|Ref=ISA_51:3!5|MId=o230510030051|Strong=5162|Frame=A0:230510030031;A1:230510030071;|Type=qatal 6 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=ISA_51:3!6|MId=o230510030061|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 חָרְבֹתֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 חָרְבֹתֶ֔י חׇרְבָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=places|Ref=ISA_51:3!7|MId=o230510030071|Strong=2723 8 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.waste|Ref=ISA_51:3!7|MId=o230510030072|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9-10 וַיָּ֤שֶׂם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_51:3!8|MId=o230510030081|Strong=2050b 10 יָּ֤שֶׂם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=ISA_51:3!8|MId=o230510030082|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:230510030031;A1:230510030091;|Type=wayyiqtol 11-12 מִדְבָּרָהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִדְבָּר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=ISA_51:3!9|MId=o230510030091|Strong=4057 12 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=ISA_51:3!9|MId=o230510030092|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 13-14 כְּעֵ֔דֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_51:3!10|MId=o230510030101|Strong=3509a 14 עֵ֔דֶן עֵדֶן PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Eden|Ref=ISA_51:3!10|MId=o230510030102|Strong=5731 15-17 וְעַרְבָתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_51:3!11|MId=o230510030111|Strong=2050b 16 עַרְבָת עֲרָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=its.desert|Ref=ISA_51:3!11|MId=o230510030112|Strong=6160 17 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=plain|Ref=ISA_51:3!11|MId=o230510030113|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 18-19 כְּגַן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_51:3!12|MId=o230510030121|Strong=3509a 19 גַן־ גַּן NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.garden|Ref=ISA_51:3!12|MId=o230510030122|Strong=1588 20 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ISA_51:3!13|MId=o230510030131|Strong=3068 21 שָׂשׂ֤וֹן שָׂשׂוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=joy|Ref=ISA_51:3!14|MId=o230510030141|Strong=8342 22-23 וְשִׂמְחָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_51:3!15|MId=o230510030151|Strong=2050b 23 שִׂמְחָה֙ שִׂמְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=gladness|Ref=ISA_51:3!15|MId=o230510030152|Strong=8057 24 יִמָּ֣צֵא מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.be.found|Ref=ISA_51:3!16|MId=o230510030161|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:230510030141;230510030152;230510030181;230510030192;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 בָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_51:3!17|MId=o230510030171|Strong=0871a 26 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_51:3!17|MId=o230510030172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 27 תּוֹדָ֖ה תּוֹדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=thanksgiving|Ref=ISA_51:3!18|MId=o230510030181|Strong=8426 28-29 וְק֥וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=ISA_51:3!19|MId=o230510030191|Strong=2050b 29 ק֥וֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 conj _ Gloss=sound|Ref=ISA_51:3!19|MId=o230510030192|Strong=6963 30 זִמְרָֽה זִמְרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.music|Ref=ISA_51:3!20|MId=o230510030201|Strong=2172|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=ISA_51:3!20|SpaceAfter=No 32 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=ISA_51:3!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
