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 — spirit, LORD, me, opening — and what happens in the verse to me, good tidings, broken hearted, liberty, 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. ר֛וּחַ אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֖ה עָלָ֑י יַ֡עַן מָשַׁח֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֹתִ֜י לְבַשֵּׂ֣ר עֲנָוִ֗ים שְׁלָחַ֙נִי֙ לַחֲבֹ֣שׁ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֔ב לִקְרֹ֤א לִשְׁבוּיִם֙ דְּר֔וֹר וְלַאֲסוּרִ֖ים פְּקַח־קֽוֹחַפְּקַח־קֽוֹחַ׃ [The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to bring good tidings unto the humble; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the eyes to them that are bound;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1318/) ## 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:1189 # text = ר֛וּחַ אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֖ה עָלָ֑י יַ֡עַן מָשַׁח֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֹתִ֜י לְבַשֵּׂ֣ר עֲנָוִ֗ים שְׁלָחַ֙נִי֙ לַחֲבֹ֣שׁ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֔ב לִקְרֹ֤א לִשְׁבוּיִם֙ דְּר֔וֹר וְלַאֲסוּרִ֖ים פְּקַח־קֽוֹחַפְּקַח־קֽוֹחַ׃ # verse = ISA.61.1 1 ר֛וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.spirit|Ref=ISA_61:1!1|MId=o230610010011|Strong=7307 2-3 אֲדֹנָ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=ISA_61:1!2|MId=o230610010021|Strong=0136 3 ָ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=ISA_61:1!2|MId=o230610010022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4 יְהוִ֖ה יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_61:1!3|MId=o230610010031|Strong=3069 5-6 עָלָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=ISA_61:1!4|MId=o230610010041|Strong=5921 6 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_61:1!4|MId=o230610010042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7 יַ֡עַן יַעַן ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=because|Ref=ISA_61:1!5|MId=o230610010051|Strong=3282 8 מָשַׁח֩ מָשַׁח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.anointed|Ref=ISA_61:1!6|MId=o230610010061|Strong=4886|Frame=A0:230610010071;A1:230610010082;|Type=qatal 9 יְהוָ֨ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_61:1!7|MId=o230610010071|Strong=3068 10-11 אֹתִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ISA_61:1!8|MId=o230610010081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_61:1!8|MId=o230610010082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-13 לְבַשֵּׂ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:1!9|MId=o230610010091|Strong=3807a 13 בַשֵּׂ֣ר בָּשַׂר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 8 advcl _ Gloss=bear.news|Ref=ISA_61:1!9|MId=o230610010092|Strong=1319|Frame=A0:230530110071;A1:230610010101;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 עֲנָוִ֗ים עָנָו ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obj _ Gloss=humble.[people]|Ref=ISA_61:1!10|MId=o230610010101|Strong=6035|Type=adjective 15-16 שְׁלָחַ֙נִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 שְׁלָח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_61:1!11|MId=o230610010111|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:230610010071;A1:230610010112;|Type=qatal 16 ַ֙נִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=has.sent.me|Ref=ISA_61:1!11|MId=o230610010112|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 17-18 לַחֲבֹ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:1!12|MId=o230610010121|Strong=3807a 18 חֲבֹ֣שׁ חָבַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=bind.up|Ref=ISA_61:1!12|MId=o230610010122|Strong=2280|Frame=A0:230530110071;|Type=infinitive_construct 19-20 לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(to).[those]|Ref=ISA_61:1!13|MId=o230610010131|Strong=3807a 20 נִשְׁבְּרֵי־ שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 18 advcl _ Gloss=broken|Ref=ISA_61:1!13|MId=o230610010132|Strong=7665|Type=participle_active 21 לֵ֔ב לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.heart|Ref=ISA_61:1!14|MId=o230610010141|Strong=3820 22-23 לִקְרֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:1!15|MId=o230610010151|Strong=3807a 23 קְרֹ֤א קָרָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 conj _ Gloss=proclaim|Ref=ISA_61:1!15|MId=o230610010152|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:230530110071;A1:230610010171;|Type=infinitive_construct 24-25 לִשְׁבוּיִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to.[those]|Ref=ISA_61:1!16|MId=o230610010161|Strong=3807a 25 שְׁבוּיִם֙ שָׁבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 23 advcl _ Gloss=taken.captive|Ref=ISA_61:1!16|MId=o230610010162|Strong=7617|Type=participle_passive 26 דְּר֔וֹר דְּרוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=liberty|Ref=ISA_61:1!17|MId=o230610010171|Strong=1865 27-29 וְלַאֲסוּרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_61:1!18|MId=o230610010181|Strong=2050b 28 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:1!18|MId=o230610010182|Strong=3807a 29 אֲסוּרִ֖ים אָסַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 23 conj _ Gloss=prisoners|Ref=ISA_61:1!18|MId=o230610010183|Strong=0631|Type=participle_passive 30-31 פְּקַח־קֽוֹחַפְּקַח־קֽוֹחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 פְּקַח־קֽוֹחַ פְּקַח־קֹוחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 dep _ Gloss=opening|Ref=ISA_61:1!19|MId=o230610010191 31 פְּקַח־קֽוֹחַ פְּקַחקוֹחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 dep _ Gloss=opening|Ref=ISA_61:1!20|MId=o230610010201 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=ISA_61:1!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
