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, head — and what happens in the verse to head, razor, parts, beard, 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. בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֡וּא יְגַלַּ֣ח אֲדֹנָי֩ בְּתַ֨עַר הַשְּׂכִירָ֜ה בְּעֶבְרֵ֤י נָהָר֙ בְּמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר אֶת־הָרֹ֖אשׁ וְשַׂ֣עַר הָרַגְלָ֑יִםוְגַ֥ם אֶת־הַזָּקָ֖ן תִּסְפֶּֽה׃ס [In that day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also sweep away the beard.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.156/) ## 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:147 # text = בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֡וּא יְגַלַּ֣ח אֲדֹנָי֩ בְּתַ֨עַר הַשְּׂכִירָ֜ה בְּעֶבְרֵ֤י נָהָר֙ בְּמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר אֶת־הָרֹ֖אשׁ וְשַׂ֣עַר הָרַגְלָ֑יִםוְגַ֥ם אֶת־הַזָּקָ֖ן תִּסְפֶּֽה׃ס # verse = ISA.7.20 1-3 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_7:20!1|MId=o230070200011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_7:20!1|MId=o230070200011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=ISA_7:20!1|MId=o230070200012|Strong=3117 4-5 הַה֡וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_7:20!2|MId=o230070200021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 ה֡וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=ISA_7:20!2|MId=o230070200022|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6 יְגַלַּ֣ח גָּלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.shave|Ref=ISA_7:20!3|MId=o230070200031|Strong=1548|Frame=A0:230070200041;A1:230070200122;230070200132;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 אֲדֹנָי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=ISA_7:20!4|MId=o230070200041|Strong=0136 8 ָי֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[the]|Ref=ISA_7:20!4|MId=o230070200042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 בְּתַ֨עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_7:20!5|MId=o230070200051|Strong=0871a 10 תַ֨עַר תַּעַר NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=a.razor|Ref=ISA_7:20!5|MId=o230070200052|Strong=8593 11-12 הַשְּׂכִירָ֜ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ISA_7:20!6|MId=o230070200061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 שְּׂכִירָ֜ה שָׂכִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=hired|Ref=ISA_7:20!6|MId=o230070200062|Strong=7916|Type=adjective 13-14 בְּעֶבְרֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on.[the]|Ref=ISA_7:20!7|MId=o230070200071|Strong=0871a 14 עֶבְרֵ֤י עֵבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nmod _ Gloss=other.sides|Ref=ISA_7:20!7|MId=o230070200072|Strong=5676 15 נָהָר֙ נָהָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).[the].River|Ref=ISA_7:20!8|MId=o230070200081|Strong=5104 16-17 בְּמֶ֣לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_7:20!9|MId=o230070200091|Strong=0871a 17 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=ISA_7:20!9|MId=o230070200092|Strong=4428 18 אַשּׁ֔וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=ISA_7:20!10|MId=o230070200101|Strong=0804 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_7:20!11|MId=o230070200111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הָרֹ֖אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_7:20!12|MId=o230070200121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 רֹ֖אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=head|Ref=ISA_7:20!12|MId=o230070200122|Strong=7218 22-23 וְשַׂ֣עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_7:20!13|MId=o230070200131|Strong=2050b 23 שַׂ֣עַר שֵׂעָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=the.hair|Ref=ISA_7:20!13|MId=o230070200132|Strong=8181 24-27 הָרַגְלָ֑יִםוְגַ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_7:20!14|MId=o230070200141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 רַגְלָ֑יִם רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.feet|Ref=ISA_7:20!14|MId=o230070200142|Strong=7272 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_7:20!15|MId=o230070200151|Strong=2050b 27 גַ֥ם גַּם ADV _ _ 31 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=ISA_7:20!15|MId=o230070200152|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_7:20!16|MId=o230070200161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 הַזָּקָ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_7:20!17|MId=o230070200171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 זָּקָ֖ן זָקָן NOUN _ Number=Sing 31 obj _ Gloss=beard|Ref=ISA_7:20!17|MId=o230070200172|Strong=2206 31 תִּסְפֶּֽה סָפָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=it.will.sweep.away|Ref=ISA_7:20!18|MId=o230070200181|Strong=5595|Frame=A0:230070200052;A1:230070200172;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=ISA_7:20!18|SpaceAfter=No 33 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=ISA_7:20!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
