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 — seraphim, one — and what happens in the verse to six wings, face, feet, 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. שְׂרָפִ֨ים עֹמְדִ֤ים ׀ מִמַּ֙עַל֙ ל֔וֹ שֵׁ֧שׁ כְּנָפַ֛יִם שֵׁ֥שׁ כְּנָפַ֖יִם לְאֶחָ֑ד בִּשְׁתַּ֣יִם ׀ יְכַסֶּ֣ה פָנָ֗יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֛יִם יְכַסֶּ֥ה רַגְלָ֖יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֥יִם יְעוֹפֵֽף׃ [Above Him stood the seraphim; each one had six wings: with twain he covered his face and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.123/) ## 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:116 # text = שְׂרָפִ֨ים עֹמְדִ֤ים ׀ מִמַּ֙עַל֙ ל֔וֹ שֵׁ֧שׁ כְּנָפַ֛יִם שֵׁ֥שׁ כְּנָפַ֖יִם לְאֶחָ֑ד בִּשְׁתַּ֣יִם ׀ יְכַסֶּ֣ה פָנָ֗יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֛יִם יְכַסֶּ֥ה רַגְלָ֖יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֥יִם יְעוֹפֵֽף׃ # verse = ISA.6.2 1 שְׂרָפִ֨ים שָׂרָף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=seraphim|Ref=ISA_6:2!1|MId=o230060020011|Strong=8314 2 עֹמְדִ֤ים עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].standing|Ref=ISA_6:2!2|MId=o230060020021|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:230060020011;|Type=participle_active 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=ISA_6:2!2 4-5 מִמַּ֙עַל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_6:2!3|MId=o230060020031|Strong=4480 5 מַּ֙עַל֙ מַעַל ADV _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=above|Ref=ISA_6:2!3|MId=o230060020032|Strong=4605 6-7 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=ISA_6:2!4|MId=o230060020041|Strong=3807a 7 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod _ Gloss=him|Ref=ISA_6:2!4|MId=o230060020042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 שֵׁ֧שׁ שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=six|Ref=ISA_6:2!5|MId=o230060020051|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number 9 כְּנָפַ֛יִם כָּנָף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 13 nsubj _ Gloss=wings|Ref=ISA_6:2!6|MId=o230060020061|Strong=3671 10 שֵׁ֥שׁ שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nummod _ Gloss=six|Ref=ISA_6:2!7|MId=o230060020071|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number 11 כְּנָפַ֖יִם כָּנָף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 9 conj _ Gloss=wings|Ref=ISA_6:2!8|MId=o230060020081|Strong=3671 12-13 לְאֶחָ֑ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[belonged].to|Ref=ISA_6:2!9|MId=o230060020091|Strong=3807a 13 אֶחָ֑ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=one|Ref=ISA_6:2!9|MId=o230060020092|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 14-15 בִּשְׁתַּ֣יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_6:2!10|MId=o230060020101|Strong=0871a 15 שְׁתַּ֣יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 17 obl _ Gloss=two.[wings]|Ref=ISA_6:2!10|MId=o230060020102|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 16 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=ISA_6:2!10 17 יְכַסֶּ֣ה כָּסָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.covered|Ref=ISA_6:2!11|MId=o230060020111|Strong=3680|Frame=A0:230060020092;A1:230060020121;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 פָנָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 פָנָ֗י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=ISA_6:2!12|MId=o230060020121|Strong=6440 19 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_6:2!12|MId=o230060020122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-22 וּבִשְׁתַּ֛יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:2!13|MId=o230060020131|Strong=2050b 21 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_6:2!13|MId=o230060020132|Strong=0871a 22 שְׁתַּ֛יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 23 obl _ Gloss=two.[wings]|Ref=ISA_6:2!13|MId=o230060020133|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 23 יְכַסֶּ֥ה כָּסָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.covered|Ref=ISA_6:2!14|MId=o230060020141|Strong=3680|Frame=A0:230060020092;A1:230060020151;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 רַגְלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 רַגְלָ֖י רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 23 obj _ Gloss=feet|Ref=ISA_6:2!15|MId=o230060020151|Strong=7272 25 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_6:2!15|MId=o230060020152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 וּבִשְׁתַּ֥יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:2!16|MId=o230060020161|Strong=2050b 27 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_6:2!16|MId=o230060020162|Strong=0871a 28 שְׁתַּ֥יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 29 obl _ Gloss=two.[wings]|Ref=ISA_6:2!16|MId=o230060020163|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 29 יְעוֹפֵֽף עוּף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.flew|Ref=ISA_6:2!17|MId=o230060020171|Strong=5774|Frame=A0:230060020092;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=ISA_6:2!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עֹמְדִים *\[were\] standing* | participle active · qal | שְׂרָפִים *seraphim* | | | | | יְכַסֶּה *he covered* | yiqtol · piel | אֶחָד *one* | פָנָי *face* | | | | יְכַסֶּה *he covered* | yiqtol · piel | אֶחָד *one* | רַגְלָי *feet* | | | | יְעוֹפֵֽף *he flew* | yiqtol · polel | אֶחָד *one* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
