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 — sin — and what happens in the verse to people, ye, 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. וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לֵ֥ךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֙וֹעַ֙ וְאַל־תָּבִ֔ינוּ וּרְא֥וּ רָא֖וֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָֽעוּ׃ [And He said: 'Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.131/) ## 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:123 # text = וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לֵ֥ךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֙וֹעַ֙ וְאַל־תָּבִ֔ינוּ וּרְא֥וּ רָא֖וֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָֽעוּ׃ # verse = ISA.6.9 1-2 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:9!1|MId=o230060090011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ISA_6:9!1|MId=o230060090012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230060080041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 לֵ֥ךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=ISA_6:9!2|MId=o230060090021|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:230020010041;|Type=imperative 4-5 וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:9!3|MId=o230060090031|Strong=2050b 5 אָמַרְתָּ֖ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=ISA_6:9!3|MId=o230060090032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:230020010041;|Type=weqatal 6-8 לָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_6:9!4|MId=o230060090041|Strong=3807a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_6:9!4|MId=o230060090041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=ISA_6:9!4|MId=o230060090042|Strong=5971 9-10 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_6:9!5|MId=o230060090051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=ISA_6:9!5|MId=o230060090052|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 11 שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=hear|Ref=ISA_6:9!6|MId=o230060090061|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:230060090043;|Type=imperative 12 שָׁמ֙וֹעַ֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 obl:npmod _ Gloss=continually.(hear)|Ref=ISA_6:9!7|MId=o230060090071|Strong=8085|Type=infinitive_absolute 13-14 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:9!8|MId=o230060090081|Strong=2050b 14 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=ISA_6:9!8|MId=o230060090082|Strong=0408|Type=negative 15 תָּבִ֔ינוּ בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 11 conj _ Gloss=understand|Ref=ISA_6:9!9|MId=o230060090091|Strong=0995|Frame=A0:230060090043;|Type=jussive 16-17 וּרְא֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:9!10|MId=o230060090101|Strong=2050b 17 רְא֥וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 11 conj _ Gloss=see|Ref=ISA_6:9!10|MId=o230060090102|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:230060090043;|Type=imperative 18 רָא֖וֹ רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 17 obl:npmod _ Gloss=continually.(see)|Ref=ISA_6:9!11|MId=o230060090111|Strong=7200|Type=infinitive_absolute 19-20 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_6:9!12|MId=o230060090121|Strong=2050b 20 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=ISA_6:9!12|MId=o230060090122|Strong=0408|Type=negative 21 תֵּדָֽעוּ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 17 conj _ Gloss=perceive|Ref=ISA_6:9!13|MId=o230060090131|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230060090043;|Type=jussive|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_6:9!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | לֵךְ *go* | imperative · qal | | | | | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | שִׁמְעוּ *hear* | imperative · qal | | | | | | **not** תָּבִינוּ *understand* | jussive · qal | | | | | | רְאוּ *see* | imperative · qal | | | | | | **not** תֵּדָֽעוּ *perceive* | jussive · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
