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, oppressed, ye — and what happens in the verse to fast, fetters, bands, yoke, 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. הֲל֣וֹא זֶה֮ צ֣וֹם אֶבְחָרֵהוּ֒ פַּתֵּ֙חַ֙ חַרְצֻבּ֣וֹת רֶ֔שַׁע הַתֵּ֖ר אֲגֻדּ֣וֹת מוֹטָ֑ה וְשַׁלַּ֤ח רְצוּצִים֙ חָפְשִׁ֔ים וְכָל־מוֹטָ֖ה תְּנַתֵּֽקוּ׃ [Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1265/) ## 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:1137 # text = הֲל֣וֹא זֶה֮ צ֣וֹם אֶבְחָרֵהוּ֒ פַּתֵּ֙חַ֙ חַרְצֻבּ֣וֹת רֶ֔שַׁע הַתֵּ֖ר אֲגֻדּ֣וֹת מוֹטָ֑ה וְשַׁלַּ֤ח רְצוּצִים֙ חָפְשִׁ֔ים וְכָל־מוֹטָ֖ה תְּנַתֵּֽקוּ׃ # verse = ISA.58.6 1-2 הֲל֣וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=ISA_58:6!1|MId=o230580060011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 ל֣וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_58:6!1|MId=o230580060012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 זֶה֮ זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=[is].this|Ref=ISA_58:6!2|MId=o230580060021|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 4 צ֣וֹם צוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].fast|Ref=ISA_58:6!3|MId=o230580060031|Strong=6685 5-6 אֶבְחָרֵהוּ֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֶבְחָר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 acl _ Gloss=[which].I|Ref=ISA_58:6!4|MId=o230580060041|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:230580050202;A1:230580060042;|Type=yiqtol 6 ֵהוּ֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=choose.it|Ref=ISA_58:6!4|MId=o230580060042|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 7 פַּתֵּ֙חַ֙ פָּתַח VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 3 conj _ Gloss=to.loosen|Ref=ISA_58:6!5|MId=o230580060051|Strong=6605|Frame=A0:230580010113;A1:230580060061;|Type=infinitive_absolute 8 חַרְצֻבּ֣וֹת חַרְצֹב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=[the].bonds|Ref=ISA_58:6!6|MId=o230580060061|Strong=2784 9 רֶ֔שַׁע רֶשַׁע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wickedness|Ref=ISA_58:6!7|MId=o230580060071|Strong=7562 10 הַתֵּ֖ר נָתַר VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 7 parataxis _ Gloss=to.unfasten|Ref=ISA_58:6!8|MId=o230580060081|Strong=5425b|Frame=AA:230580010113;A0:230580060091;|Type=infinitive_absolute 11 אֲגֻדּ֣וֹת אֲגֻדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=[the].bindings|Ref=ISA_58:6!9|MId=o230580060091|Strong=0092 12 מוֹטָ֑ה מוֹטָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].yoke-bar|Ref=ISA_58:6!10|MId=o230580060101|Strong=4133 13-14 וְשַׁלַּ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_58:6!11|MId=o230580060111|Strong=2050b 14 שַׁלַּ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 7 conj _ Gloss=to.let.go|Ref=ISA_58:6!11|MId=o230580060112|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:230580010113;A1:230580060121;|Type=infinitive_absolute 15 רְצוּצִים֙ רָצַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=[those.who.are].crushed|Ref=ISA_58:6!12|MId=o230580060121|Strong=7533|Type=participle_passive 16 חָפְשִׁ֔ים חׇפְשִׁי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 xcomp _ Gloss=free|Ref=ISA_58:6!13|MId=o230580060131|Strong=2670|Type=adjective 17-18 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_58:6!14|MId=o230580060141|Strong=2050b 18 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=every|Ref=ISA_58:6!14|MId=o230580060142|Strong=3605 19 מוֹטָ֖ה מוֹטָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=yoke-bar|Ref=ISA_58:6!15|MId=o230580060151|Strong=4133 20 תְּנַתֵּֽקוּ נָתַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=you.will.tear.apart|Ref=ISA_58:6!16|MId=o230580060161|Strong=5423|Frame=A0:230580010113;A1:230580060151;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=ISA_58:6!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶבְחָר *\[which\] I* | yiqtol · qal | | ֵהוּ *choose it* | | | | פַּתֵּחַ *to loosen* | infinitive absolute · piel | | חַרְצֻבּוֹת *\[the\] bonds* | | | | הַתֵּר *to unfasten* | infinitive absolute · hiphil | אֲגֻדּוֹת *\[the\] bindings* | | | | | שַׁלַּח *to let go* | infinitive absolute · piel | | רְצוּצִים *\[those who are\] crushed* | | | | תְּנַתֵּֽקוּ *you will tear apart* | yiqtol · piel | | מוֹטָה *yoke-bar* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
