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 — I, men — and what happens in the verse to justice, robbery, recompense, men, truth, everlasting covenant, 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. כִּ֣י אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֹהֵ֣ב מִשְׁפָּ֔ט שֹׂנֵ֥א גָזֵ֖ל בְּעוֹלָ֑ה וְנָתַתִּ֤י פְעֻלָּתָם֙ בֶּאֱמֶ֔ת וּבְרִ֥ית עוֹלָ֖ם אֶכְר֥וֹת לָהֶֽם׃ [For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1325/) ## 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:1196 # text = כִּ֣י אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֹהֵ֣ב מִשְׁפָּ֔ט שֹׂנֵ֥א גָזֵ֖ל בְּעוֹלָ֑ה וְנָתַתִּ֤י פְעֻלָּתָם֙ בֶּאֱמֶ֔ת וּבְרִ֥ית עוֹלָ֖ם אֶכְר֥וֹת לָהֶֽם׃ # verse = ISA.61.8 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_61:8!1|MId=o230610080011|Strong=3588 2 אֲנִ֤י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_61:8!2|MId=o230610080021|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_61:8!3|MId=o230610080031|Strong=3068 4 אֹהֵ֣ב אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].loving|Ref=ISA_61:8!4|MId=o230610080041|Strong=0157|Frame=A0:230610080021;A1:230610080051;|Type=participle_active 5 מִשְׁפָּ֔ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=justice|Ref=ISA_61:8!5|MId=o230610080051|Strong=4941 6 שֹׂנֵ֥א שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=[I.am].hating|Ref=ISA_61:8!6|MId=o230610080061|Strong=8130|Frame=A0:230610080031;A1:230610080071;|Type=participle_active 7 גָזֵ֖ל גָּזֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=robbery|Ref=ISA_61:8!7|MId=o230610080071|Strong=1498 8-9 בְּעוֹלָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_61:8!8|MId=o230610080081|Strong=0871a 9 עוֹלָ֑ה עַוְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=injustice|Ref=ISA_61:8!8|MId=o230610080082|Strong=5766a 10-11 וְנָתַתִּ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_61:8!9|MId=o230610080091|Strong=2050b 11 נָתַתִּ֤י נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.will.give|Ref=ISA_61:8!9|MId=o230610080092|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:230610080031;A1:230610080101;|Type=weqatal 12-13 פְעֻלָּתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 פְעֻלָּת פְּעֻלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=wage[s]|Ref=ISA_61:8!10|MId=o230610080101|Strong=6468 13 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_61:8!10|MId=o230610080102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14-15 בֶּאֱמֶ֔ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_61:8!11|MId=o230610080111|Strong=0871a 15 אֱמֶ֔ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=faithfulness|Ref=ISA_61:8!11|MId=o230610080112|Strong=0571 16-17 וּבְרִ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_61:8!12|MId=o230610080121|Strong=2050b 17 בְרִ֥ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=a.covenant|Ref=ISA_61:8!12|MId=o230610080122|Strong=1285 18 עוֹלָ֖ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=ISA_61:8!13|MId=o230610080131|Strong=5769 19 אֶכְר֥וֹת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.will.make|Ref=ISA_61:8!14|MId=o230610080141|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:230610080031;A1:230610080122;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 לָהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_61:8!15|MId=o230610080151|Strong=3807a 21 ָהֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ISA_61:8!15|MId=o230610080152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=ISA_61:8!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֹהֵב *\[am\] loving* | participle active · qal | אֲנִי *I* | מִשְׁפָּט *justice* | | | | שֹׂנֵא *\[I am\] hating* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | גָזֵל *robbery* | | | | נָתַתִּי *I will give* | weqatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | פְעֻלָּת *wage\[s\]* | | | | אֶכְרוֹת *I will make* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | בְרִית *a covenant* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
