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 — aliens, My — and what happens in the verse to things, name, servants, sabbath, LORD, 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. וּבְנֵ֣י הַנֵּכָ֗ר הַנִּלְוִ֤ים עַל־יְהוָה֙ לְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ וּֽלְאַהֲבָה֙ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה לִהְי֥וֹת ל֖וֹ לַעֲבָדִ֑ים כָּל־שֹׁמֵ֤ר שַׁבָּת֙ מֵֽחַלְּל֔וֹ וּמַחֲזִיקִ֖ים בִּבְרִיתִֽי׃ [Also the aliens, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1223/) ## 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:1104 # text = וּבְנֵ֣י הַנֵּכָ֗ר הַנִּלְוִ֤ים עַל־יְהוָה֙ לְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ וּֽלְאַהֲבָה֙ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה לִהְי֥וֹת ל֖וֹ לַעֲבָדִ֑ים כָּל־שֹׁמֵ֤ר שַׁבָּת֙ מֵֽחַלְּל֔וֹ וּמַחֲזִיקִ֖ים בִּבְרִיתִֽי׃ # verse = ISA.56.6 1-2 וּבְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_56:6!1|MId=o230560060011|Strong=2050b 2 בְנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=ISA_56:6!1|MId=o230560060012|Strong=1121 3-4 הַנֵּכָ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=ISA_56:6!2|MId=o230560060021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 נֵּכָ֗ר נֵכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=foreignness|Ref=ISA_56:6!2|MId=o230560060022|Strong=5236 5-6 הַנִּלְוִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=[who].join|Ref=ISA_56:6!3|MId=o230560060031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 נִּלְוִ֤ים לָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 2 appos _ Gloss=themselves|Ref=ISA_56:6!3|MId=o230560060032|Strong=3867|Frame=A0:230560060012;|Type=participle_active 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_56:6!4|MId=o230560060041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_56:6!5|MId=o230560060051|Strong=3068 9-11 לְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_56:6!6|MId=o230560060061|Strong=3807a 10 שָׁ֣רְת שָׁרַת VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 6 advcl _ Gloss=serve|Ref=ISA_56:6!6|MId=o230560060062|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:230560060012;A1:230560060063;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=ISA_56:6!6|MId=o230560060063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-14 וּֽלְאַהֲבָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_56:6!7|MId=o230560060071|Strong=2050b 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_56:6!7|MId=o230560060072|Strong=3807a 14 אַהֲבָה֙ אָהֵב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 conj _ Gloss=love|Ref=ISA_56:6!7|MId=o230560060073|Strong=0157|Frame=A0:230560060012;A1:230560060091;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_56:6!8|MId=o230560060081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16 שֵׁ֣ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=ISA_56:6!9|MId=o230560060091|Strong=8034 17 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ISA_56:6!10|MId=o230560060101|Strong=3068 18-19 לִהְי֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_56:6!11|MId=o230560060111|Strong=3807a 19 הְי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 23 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=ISA_56:6!11|MId=o230560060112|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230560060012;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_56:6!12|MId=o230560060121|Strong=3807a 21 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_56:6!12|MId=o230560060122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 לַעֲבָדִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=ISA_56:6!13|MId=o230560060131|Strong=3807a 23 עֲבָדִ֑ים עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=ISA_56:6!13|MId=o230560060132|Strong=5650 24 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 appos _ Gloss=every|Ref=ISA_56:6!14|MId=o230560060141|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 25 שֹׁמֵ֤ר שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[one.who].keeps|Ref=ISA_56:6!15|MId=o230560060151|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:230560060012;A1:230560060161;|Type=participle_active 26 שַׁבָּת֙ שַׁבָּת NOUN _ Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=[the].sabbath|Ref=ISA_56:6!16|MId=o230560060161|Strong=7676 27-29 מֵֽחַלְּל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_56:6!17|MId=o230560060171|Strong=4480 28 חַלְּל חָלַל VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 25 xcomp _ Gloss=profaning|Ref=ISA_56:6!17|MId=o230560060172|Strong=2490|Frame=A0:230560060012;A1:230560060173;|Type=infinitive_construct 29 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_56:6!17|MId=o230560060173|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30-31 וּמַחֲזִיקִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_56:6!18|MId=o230560060181|Strong=2050b 31 מַחֲזִיקִ֖ים חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 25 conj _ Gloss=[those.who].keep.hold|Ref=ISA_56:6!18|MId=o230560060182|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:230560060012;|Type=participle_active 32-34 בִּבְרִיתִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_56:6!19|MId=o230560060191|Strong=0871a 33 בְרִית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=ISA_56:6!19|MId=o230560060192|Strong=1285 34 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=ISA_56:6!19|MId=o230560060193|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=ISA_56:6!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
