Who acts: ye, voice. Isaiah 58:4 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ISA.58.4/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Isaiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ISA/) / [chapter 58](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ISA/58/) / 58:4 # Isaiah 58:4 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ **Who acts:** ye, voice · **What happens:** fast, smite, not fast, make, hear · **To what, where:** voice This is Isaiah 58:4 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — ye, voice — and what happens in the verse to voice, 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. הֵ֣ן לְרִ֤יב וּמַצָּה֙ תָּצ֔וּמוּ וּלְהַכּ֖וֹת בְּאֶגְרֹ֣ף רֶ֑שַׁע לֹא־תָצ֣וּמוּ כַיּ֔וֹם לְהַשְׁמִ֥יעַ בַּמָּר֖וֹם קוֹלְכֶֽם׃ [Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1261/) ## 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:1135 # text = הֵ֣ן לְרִ֤יב וּמַצָּה֙ תָּצ֔וּמוּ וּלְהַכּ֖וֹת בְּאֶגְרֹ֣ף רֶ֑שַׁע לֹא־תָצ֣וּמוּ כַיּ֔וֹם לְהַשְׁמִ֥יעַ בַּמָּר֖וֹם קוֹלְכֶֽם׃ # verse = ISA.58.4 1 הֵ֣ן הֵן INTJ _ _ 6 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=ISA_58:4!1|MId=o230580040011|Strong=2005|Type=demonstrative 2-3 לְרִ֤יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_58:4!2|MId=o230580040021|Strong=3807a 3 רִ֤יב רִיב NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=strife|Ref=ISA_58:4!2|MId=o230580040022|Strong=7379 4-5 וּמַצָּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_58:4!3|MId=o230580040031|Strong=2050b 5 מַצָּה֙ מַצָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=contention|Ref=ISA_58:4!3|MId=o230580040032|Strong=4683 6 תָּצ֔וּמוּ צוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.fast|Ref=ISA_58:4!4|MId=o230580040041|Strong=6684|Frame=A0:230580010113;|Type=yiqtol 7-9 וּלְהַכּ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_58:4!5|MId=o230580040051|Strong=2050b 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_58:4!5|MId=o230580040052|Strong=3807a 9 הַכּ֖וֹת נָכָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 6 conj _ Gloss=strike|Ref=ISA_58:4!5|MId=o230580040053|Strong=5221|Frame=A0:230580010113;|Type=infinitive_construct 10-11 בְּאֶגְרֹ֣ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_58:4!6|MId=o230580040061|Strong=0871a 11 אֶגְרֹ֣ף אֶגְרֹף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=a.fist|Ref=ISA_58:4!6|MId=o230580040062|Strong=0106 12 רֶ֑שַׁע רֶשַׁע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wickedness|Ref=ISA_58:4!7|MId=o230580040071|Strong=7562 13 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_58:4!8|MId=o230580040081|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 14 תָצ֣וּמוּ צוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 6 parataxis _ Gloss=you.fast|Ref=ISA_58:4!9|MId=o230580040091|Strong=6684|Frame=A0:230580010113;|Type=yiqtol 15-17 כַיּ֔וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_58:4!10|MId=o230580040101|Strong=3509a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_58:4!10|MId=o230580040101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 יּ֔וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=ISA_58:4!10|MId=o230580040102|Strong=3117 18-19 לְהַשְׁמִ֥יעַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_58:4!11|MId=o230580040111|Strong=3807a 19 הַשְׁמִ֥יעַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 14 advcl _ Gloss=make.heard|Ref=ISA_58:4!11|MId=o230580040112|Strong=8085|Frame=AA:230580010113;A0:230580040131;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-22 בַּמָּר֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_58:4!12|MId=o230580040121|Strong=0871a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_58:4!12|MId=o230580040121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 מָּר֖וֹם מָרוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=height[s]|Ref=ISA_58:4!12|MId=o230580040122|Strong=4791 23-24 קוֹלְכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 קוֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=voice|Ref=ISA_58:4!13|MId=o230580040131|Strong=6963 24 ְכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ISA_58:4!13|MId=o230580040132|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ISA_58:4!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תָּצוּמוּ *you fast* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הַכּוֹת *strike* | infinitive construct · hiphil | | | | | | **not** תָצוּמוּ *you fast* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הַשְׁמִיעַ *make heard* | infinitive construct · hiphil | קוֹל *voice* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
