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 — land, LORD, fly, bee — and what happens in the verse to uttermost part, land, 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. וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִשְׁרֹ֤ק יְהוָה֙ לַזְּב֔וּב אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּקְצֵ֖ה יְאֹרֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם וְלַ֨דְּבוֹרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּאֶ֥רֶץ אַשּֽׁוּר׃ [And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.154/) ## 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:145 # text = וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִשְׁרֹ֤ק יְהוָה֙ לַזְּב֔וּב אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּקְצֵ֖ה יְאֹרֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם וְלַ֨דְּבוֹרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּאֶ֥רֶץ אַשּֽׁוּר׃ # verse = ISA.7.18 1-2 וְהָיָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_7:18!1|MId=o230070180011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=ISA_7:18!1|MId=o230070180012|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=ISA_7:18!1 4-6 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_7:18!2|MId=o230070180021|Strong=0871a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_7:18!2|MId=o230070180021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=day|Ref=ISA_7:18!2|MId=o230070180022|Strong=3117 7-8 הַה֗וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_7:18!3|MId=o230070180031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 ה֗וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=ISA_7:18!3|MId=o230070180032|Strong=1931|Type=personal 9 יִשְׁרֹ֤ק שָׁרַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.whistle|Ref=ISA_7:18!4|MId=o230070180041|Strong=8319|Frame=A0:230070180051;|Type=yiqtol 10 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_7:18!5|MId=o230070180051|Strong=3068 11-13 לַזְּב֔וּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_7:18!6|MId=o230070180061|Strong=3807a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_7:18!6|MId=o230070180061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 זְּב֔וּב זְבוּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=fly|Ref=ISA_7:18!6|MId=o230070180062|Strong=2070 14 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_7:18!7|MId=o230070180071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 15-16 בִּקְצֵ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=[is].at|Ref=ISA_7:18!8|MId=o230070180081|Strong=0871a 16 קְצֵ֖ה קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=ISA_7:18!8|MId=o230070180082|Strong=7097 17 יְאֹרֵ֣י יְאֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.canals|Ref=ISA_7:18!9|MId=o230070180091|Strong=2975 18 מִצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=ISA_7:18!10|MId=o230070180101|Strong=4714 19-22 וְלַ֨דְּבוֹרָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_7:18!11|MId=o230070180111|Strong=2050b 20 לַ֨ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_7:18!11|MId=o230070180112|Strong=3807a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_7:18!11|MId=o230070180112ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 דְּבוֹרָ֔ה דְּבוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=bee|Ref=ISA_7:18!11|MId=o230070180113|Strong=1682 23 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ISA_7:18!12|MId=o230070180121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24-25 בְּאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=ISA_7:18!13|MId=o230070180131|Strong=0871a 25 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=ISA_7:18!13|MId=o230070180132|Strong=0776 26 אַשּֽׁוּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=ISA_7:18!14|MId=o230070180141|Strong=0804|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_7:18!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִשְׁרֹק *he will whistle* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
