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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to Zion, garland, LORD, 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. לָשׂ֣וּם ׀ לַאֲבֵלֵ֣י צִיּ֗וֹן לָתֵת֩ לָהֶ֨ם פְּאֵ֜ר תַּ֣חַת אֵ֗פֶר שֶׁ֤מֶן שָׂשׂוֹן֙ תַּ֣חַת אֵ֔בֶל מַעֲטֵ֣ה תְהִלָּ֔ה תַּ֖חַת ר֣וּחַ כֵּהָ֑ה וְקֹרָ֤א לָהֶם֙ אֵילֵ֣י הַצֶּ֔דֶק מַטַּ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה לְהִתְפָּאֵֽר׃ [To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, wherein He might glory.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1320/) ## 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:1191 # text = לָשׂ֣וּם ׀ לַאֲבֵלֵ֣י צִיּ֗וֹן לָתֵת֩ לָהֶ֨ם פְּאֵ֜ר תַּ֣חַת אֵ֗פֶר שֶׁ֤מֶן שָׂשׂוֹן֙ תַּ֣חַת אֵ֔בֶל מַעֲטֵ֣ה תְהִלָּ֔ה תַּ֖חַת ר֣וּחַ כֵּהָ֑ה וְקֹרָ֤א לָהֶם֙ אֵילֵ֣י הַצֶּ֔דֶק מַטַּ֥ע יְהוָ֖ה לְהִתְפָּאֵֽר׃ # verse = ISA.61.3 1-2 לָשׂ֣וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:3!1|MId=o230610030011|Strong=3807a 2 שׂ֣וּם שׂים VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=put|Ref=ISA_61:3!1|MId=o230610030012|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:230530110071;|Type=infinitive_construct 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=ISA_61:3!1 4-5 לַאֲבֵלֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:3!2|MId=o230610030021|Strong=3807a 5 אֲבֵלֵ֣י אָבֵל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.mourners|Ref=ISA_61:3!2|MId=o230610030022|Strong=0057|Type=adjective 6 צִיּ֗וֹן צִיּוֹן PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zion|Ref=ISA_61:3!3|MId=o230610030031|Strong=6726 7-8 לָתֵת֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:3!4|MId=o230610030041|Strong=3807a 8 תֵת֩ נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 parataxis _ Gloss=give|Ref=ISA_61:3!4|MId=o230610030042|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:230530110071;A1:230610030061;|Type=infinitive_construct 9-10 לָהֶ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:3!5|MId=o230610030051|Strong=3807a 10 ָהֶ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_61:3!5|MId=o230610030052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11 פְּאֵ֜ר פְּאֵר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=a.turban|Ref=ISA_61:3!6|MId=o230610030061|Strong=6287 12 תַּ֣חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=in.place.of|Ref=ISA_61:3!7|MId=o230610030071|Strong=8478 13 אֵ֗פֶר אֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ash[es]|Ref=ISA_61:3!8|MId=o230610030081|Strong=0665 14 שֶׁ֤מֶן שֶׁמֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 parataxis _ Gloss=oil|Ref=ISA_61:3!9|MId=o230610030091|Strong=8081 15 שָׂשׂוֹן֙ שָׂשׂוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.joy|Ref=ISA_61:3!10|MId=o230610030101|Strong=8342 16 תַּ֣חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=in.place.of|Ref=ISA_61:3!11|MId=o230610030111|Strong=8478 17 אֵ֔בֶל אֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=mourning|Ref=ISA_61:3!12|MId=o230610030121|Strong=0060 18 מַעֲטֵ֣ה מַעֲטֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 parataxis _ Gloss=a.mantle|Ref=ISA_61:3!13|MId=o230610030131|Strong=4594 19 תְהִלָּ֔ה תְּהִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.praise|Ref=ISA_61:3!14|MId=o230610030141|Strong=8416 20 תַּ֖חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=in.place.of|Ref=ISA_61:3!15|MId=o230610030151|Strong=8478 21 ר֣וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=a.spirit|Ref=ISA_61:3!16|MId=o230610030161|Strong=7307 22 כֵּהָ֑ה כֵּהֶה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 amod _ Gloss=faint|Ref=ISA_61:3!17|MId=o230610030171|Strong=3544|Type=adjective 23-24 וְקֹרָ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_61:3!18|MId=o230610030181|Strong=2050b 24 קֹרָ֤א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.called|Ref=ISA_61:3!18|MId=o230610030182|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:230610030201;230610030221;|Type=weqatal 25-26 לָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ל לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:3!19|MId=o230610030191|Strong=3807a 26 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_61:3!19|MId=o230610030192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 אֵילֵ֣י אַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 nsubj _ Gloss=the.oaks|Ref=ISA_61:3!20|MId=o230610030201|Strong=0352a 28-29 הַצֶּ֔דֶק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=ISA_61:3!21|MId=o230610030211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 צֶּ֔דֶק צֶדֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=ISA_61:3!21|MId=o230610030212|Strong=6664 30 מַטַּ֥ע מַטָּע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 conj _ Gloss=the.planting|Ref=ISA_61:3!22|MId=o230610030221|Strong=4302 31 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ISA_61:3!23|MId=o230610030231|Strong=3068 32-33 לְהִתְפָּאֵֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:3!24|MId=o230610030241|Strong=3807a 33 הִתְפָּאֵֽר פָּאַר VERB _ HebBinyan=HITHPAEL 24 advcl _ Gloss=glorify.himself|Ref=ISA_61:3!24|MId=o230610030242|Strong=6286|Frame=A0:230610030022;|Type=infinitive_construct 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=ISA_61:3!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
