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 — you — and what happens in the verse to ear, instruction, peoples, 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. הַקְשִׁ֤יבוּ אֵלַי֙ עַמִּ֔י וּלְאוּמִּ֖י אֵלַ֣י הַאֲזִ֑ינוּ כִּ֤י תוֹרָה֙ מֵאִתִּ֣י תֵצֵ֔א וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֔י לְא֥וֹר עַמִּ֖ים אַרְגִּֽיעַ׃ [Attend unto Me, O My people, and give ear unto Me, O My nation; for instruction shall go forth from Me, and My right on a sudden for a light of the peoples.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1134/) ## 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:1022 # text = הַקְשִׁ֤יבוּ אֵלַי֙ עַמִּ֔י וּלְאוּמִּ֖י אֵלַ֣י הַאֲזִ֑ינוּ כִּ֤י תוֹרָה֙ מֵאִתִּ֣י תֵצֵ֔א וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֔י לְא֥וֹר עַמִּ֖ים אַרְגִּֽיעַ׃ # verse = ISA.51.4 1 הַקְשִׁ֤יבוּ קָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=pay.attention|Ref=ISA_51:4!1|MId=o230510040011|Strong=7181|Frame=A0:230510040031;|Type=imperative 2-3 אֵלַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_51:4!2|MId=o230510040021|Strong=0413 3 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_51:4!2|MId=o230510040022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4-5 עַמִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=my.people|Ref=ISA_51:4!3|MId=o230510040031|Strong=5971 5 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_51:4!3|MId=o230510040032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6-8 וּלְאוּמִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_51:4!4|MId=o230510040041|Strong=2050b 7 לְאוּמּ לְאֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 dislocated _ Gloss=O|Ref=ISA_51:4!4|MId=o230510040042|Strong=3816 8 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my.nation|Ref=ISA_51:4!4|MId=o230510040043|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 אֵלַ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_51:4!5|MId=o230510040051|Strong=0413 10 ַ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_51:4!5|MId=o230510040052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11 הַאֲזִ֑ינוּ אָזַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=give.ear|Ref=ISA_51:4!6|MId=o230510040061|Strong=0238|Frame=A0:230510040042;|Type=imperative 12 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_51:4!7|MId=o230510040071|Strong=3588 13 תוֹרָה֙ תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=law|Ref=ISA_51:4!8|MId=o230510040081|Strong=8451 14-16 מֵאִתִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_51:4!9|MId=o230510040091|Strong=4480 15 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_51:4!9|MId=o230510040092|Strong=0854 16 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_51:4!9|MId=o230510040093|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 תֵצֵ֔א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.go.out|Ref=ISA_51:4!10|MId=o230510040101|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:230510040081;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_51:4!11|MId=o230510040111|Strong=2050b 19 מִשְׁפָּט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=justice|Ref=ISA_51:4!11|MId=o230510040112|Strong=4941 20 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_51:4!11|MId=o230510040113|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 לְא֥וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=ISA_51:4!12|MId=o230510040121|Strong=3807a 22 א֥וֹר אוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=light|Ref=ISA_51:4!12|MId=o230510040122|Strong=0216 23 עַמִּ֖ים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.peoples|Ref=ISA_51:4!13|MId=o230510040131|Strong=5971 24 אַרְגִּֽיעַ רָגַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=I.will.make.in.a.moment|Ref=ISA_51:4!14|MId=o230510040141|Strong=7280|Frame=AA:230510030031;A0:230510040112;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_51:4!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הַקְשִׁיבוּ *pay attention* | imperative · hiphil | עַמּ *my people* | | | | | הַאֲזִינוּ *give ear* | imperative · hiphil | לְאוּמּ *O* | | | | | תֵצֵא *it will go out* | yiqtol · qal | תוֹרָה *law* | | | | | אַרְגִּֽיעַ *I will make in a moment* | yiqtol · hiphil | מִשְׁפָּט *justice* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
