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 — webs, men, works, act, lips, violence — and what happens in the verse to garments, lips, works, hands, 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. קֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ לֹא־יִהְי֣וּ לְבֶ֔גֶד וְלֹ֥א יִתְכַּסּ֖וּ בְּמַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶם֙ מַֽעֲשֵׂי־אָ֔וֶן וּפֹ֥עַל חָמָ֖ס בְּכַפֵּיהֶֽם׃ [Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall men cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1279/) ## 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:1151 # text = קֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ לֹא־יִהְי֣וּ לְבֶ֔גֶד וְלֹ֥א יִתְכַּסּ֖וּ בְּמַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶם֙ מַֽעֲשֵׂי־אָ֔וֶן וּפֹ֥עַל חָמָ֖ס בְּכַפֵּיהֶֽם׃ # verse = ISA.59.6 1-2 קֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 קֽוּרֵי קוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=webs|Ref=ISA_59:6!1|MId=o230590060011|Strong=6980 2 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_59:6!1|MId=o230590060012|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 3 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_59:6!2|MId=o230590060021|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִהְי֣וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 cop _ Gloss=they.will.become|Ref=ISA_59:6!3|MId=o230590060031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:230590060011;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 לְבֶ֔גֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=ISA_59:6!4|MId=o230590060041|Strong=3807a 6 בֶ֔גֶד בֶּגֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=clothing|Ref=ISA_59:6!4|MId=o230590060042|Strong=0899 7-8 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_59:6!5|MId=o230590060051|Strong=2050b 8 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_59:6!5|MId=o230590060052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 9 יִתְכַּסּ֖וּ כָּסָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=people.will.cover.themselves|Ref=ISA_59:6!6|MId=o230590060061|Strong=3680|Frame=A0:230580010113;|Type=yiqtol 10-12 בְּמַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_59:6!7|MId=o230590060071|Strong=0871a 11 מַֽעֲשֵׂי מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=products|Ref=ISA_59:6!7|MId=o230590060072|Strong=4639 12 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_59:6!7|MId=o230590060073|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13-14 מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מַֽעֲשֵׂי מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=products|Ref=ISA_59:6!8|MId=o230590060081|Strong=4639 14 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_59:6!8|MId=o230590060082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 מַֽעֲשֵׂי־ מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].products|Ref=ISA_59:6!9|MId=o230590060091|Strong=4639|SpaceAfter=No 16 אָ֔וֶן אָוֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wickedness|Ref=ISA_59:6!10|MId=o230590060101|Strong=0205 17-18 וּפֹ֥עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_59:6!11|MId=o230590060111|Strong=2050b 18 פֹ֥עַל פֹּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=deed[s]|Ref=ISA_59:6!11|MId=o230590060112|Strong=6467 19 חָמָ֖ס חָמָס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.violence|Ref=ISA_59:6!12|MId=o230590060121|Strong=2555 20-22 בְּכַפֵּיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=ISA_59:6!13|MId=o230590060131|Strong=0871a 21 כַפֵּי כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 6 conj _ Gloss=palms|Ref=ISA_59:6!13|MId=o230590060132|Strong=3709 22 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_59:6!13|MId=o230590060133|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ISA_59:6!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִהְיוּ *they will become* | yiqtol · qal | קֽוּרֵי *webs* | | | | | **not** יִתְכַּסּוּ *people will cover themselves* | yiqtol · hithpael | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
