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 — thou, seed — and what happens in the verse to right hand, nations, desolate cities, 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. כִּי־יָמִ֥ין וּשְׂמֹ֖אול תִּפְרֹ֑צִי וְזַרְעֵךְ֙ גּוֹיִ֣ם יִירָ֔שׁ וְעָרִ֥ים נְשַׁמּ֖וֹת יוֹשִֽׁיבוּ׃ [For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1187/) ## 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:1071 # text = כִּי־יָמִ֥ין וּשְׂמֹ֖אול תִּפְרֹ֑צִי וְזַרְעֵךְ֙ גּוֹיִ֣ם יִירָ֔שׁ וְעָרִ֥ים נְשַׁמּ֖וֹת יוֹשִֽׁיבוּ׃ # verse = ISA.54.3 1 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_54:3!1|MId=o230540030011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 יָמִ֥ין יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=right|Ref=ISA_54:3!2|MId=o230540030021|Strong=3225 3-4 וּשְׂמֹ֖אול _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_54:3!3|MId=o230540030031|Strong=2050b 4 שְׂמֹ֖אול שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=left|Ref=ISA_54:3!3|MId=o230540030032|Strong=8040 5 תִּפְרֹ֑צִי פָּרַץ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.spread.out|Ref=ISA_54:3!4|MId=o230540030041|Strong=6555|Frame=A0:230540010021;|Type=yiqtol 6-8 וְזַרְעֵךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_54:3!5|MId=o230540030051|Strong=2050b 7 זַרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=offspring|Ref=ISA_54:3!5|MId=o230540030052|Strong=2233 8 ֵךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_54:3!5|MId=o230540030053|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 9 גּוֹיִ֣ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=nations|Ref=ISA_54:3!6|MId=o230540030061|Strong=1471 10 יִירָ֔שׁ יָרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.will.dispossess|Ref=ISA_54:3!7|MId=o230540030071|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:230540030052;A1:230540030061;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 וְעָרִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_54:3!8|MId=o230540030081|Strong=2050b 12 עָרִ֥ים עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=cities|Ref=ISA_54:3!8|MId=o230540030082|Strong=5892 13 נְשַׁמּ֖וֹת שָׁמֵם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 12 nmod _ Gloss=desolated|Ref=ISA_54:3!9|MId=o230540030091|Strong=8074|Frame=A1:230540030082;|Type=participle_active 14 יוֹשִֽׁיבוּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they.will.cause.to.be.inhabited|Ref=ISA_54:3!10|MId=o230540030101|Strong=3427|Frame=AA:230540030052;A0:230540030082;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=ISA_54:3!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּפְרֹצִי *you will spread out* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִירָשׁ *he will dispossess* | yiqtol · qal | זַרְע *offspring* | גּוֹיִם *nations* | | | | נְשַׁמּוֹת *desolated* | participle active · niphal | | עָרִים *cities* | | | | יוֹשִֽׁיבוּ *they will cause to be inhabited* | yiqtol · hiphil | עָרִים *cities* | | | זַרְע *offspring* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
