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 — this, I, waters — and what happens in the verse to earth, thee, 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־מֵ֥י נֹ֙חַ֙ זֹ֣את לִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִשְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי מֵעֲבֹ֥ר מֵי־נֹ֛חַ ע֖וֹד עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כֵּ֥ן נִשְׁבַּ֛עְתִּי מִקְּצֹ֥ף עָלַ֖יִךְ וּמִגְּעָר־בָּֽךְ׃ [For this is as the waters of Noah unto Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1194/) ## 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:1077 # text = כִּי־מֵ֥י נֹ֙חַ֙ זֹ֣את לִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִשְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי מֵעֲבֹ֥ר מֵי־נֹ֛חַ ע֖וֹד עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כֵּ֥ן נִשְׁבַּ֛עְתִּי מִקְּצֹ֥ף עָלַ֖יִךְ וּמִגְּעָר־בָּֽךְ׃ # verse = ISA.54.9 1 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_54:9!1|MId=o230540090011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 מֵ֥י מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[is].the.waters|Ref=ISA_54:9!2|MId=o230540090021|Strong=4325 3 נֹ֙חַ֙ נֹחַ PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Noah|Ref=ISA_54:9!3|MId=o230540090031|Strong=5146 4 זֹ֣את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 2 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_54:9!4|MId=o230540090041|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 5-6 לִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_54:9!5|MId=o230540090051|Strong=3807a 6 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_54:9!5|MId=o230540090052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_54:9!6|MId=o230540090061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 8 נִשְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי שָׁבַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 18 parataxis _ Gloss=I.swore|Ref=ISA_54:9!7|MId=o230540090071|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:230540080111;|Type=qatal 9-10 מֵעֲבֹ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_54:9!8|MId=o230540090081|Strong=4480 10 עֲבֹ֥ר עָבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 xcomp _ Gloss=passing|Ref=ISA_54:9!8|MId=o230540090082|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:230540090091;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 מֵי־ מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=the.waters|Ref=ISA_54:9!9|MId=o230540090091|Strong=4325|SpaceAfter=No 12 נֹ֛חַ נֹחַ PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Noah|Ref=ISA_54:9!10|MId=o230540090101|Strong=5146 13 ע֖וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=ISA_54:9!11|MId=o230540090111|Strong=5750 14 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=ISA_54:9!12|MId=o230540090121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_54:9!13|MId=o230540090131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=ISA_54:9!13|MId=o230540090132|Strong=0776 17 כֵּ֥ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=so|Ref=ISA_54:9!14|MId=o230540090141|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 18 נִשְׁבַּ֛עְתִּי שָׁבַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.swear|Ref=ISA_54:9!15|MId=o230540090151|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:230540080111;|Type=qatal 19-20 מִקְּצֹ֥ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_54:9!16|MId=o230540090161|Strong=4480 20 קְּצֹ֥ף קָצַף VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 xcomp _ Gloss=being.angry|Ref=ISA_54:9!16|MId=o230540090162|Strong=7107|Frame=A0:230540080111;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-22 עָלַ֖יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 עָלַ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=ISA_54:9!17|MId=o230540090171|Strong=5921 22 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_54:9!17|MId=o230540090172|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 23-25 וּמִגְּעָר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_54:9!18|MId=o230540090181|Strong=2050b 24 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_54:9!18|MId=o230540090182|Strong=4480 25 גְּעָר־ גָּעַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 conj _ Gloss=rebuking|Ref=ISA_54:9!18|MId=o230540090183|Strong=1605|Frame=A0:230540080111;|Type=infinitive_construct 26-27 בָּֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=ISA_54:9!19|MId=o230540090191|Strong=0871a 27 ָֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_54:9!19|MId=o230540090192|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=ISA_54:9!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי *I swore* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | עֲבֹר *passing* | infinitive construct · qal | מֵי־ *the waters* | | | | | נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי *I swear* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | קְּצֹף *being angry* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | גְּעָר־ *rebuking* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
