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, I — and what happens in the verse to children, me, Israel, mount Zion, 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. הִנֵּ֣ה אָנֹכִ֗י וְהַיְלָדִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָֽתַן־לִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לְאֹת֥וֹת וּלְמוֹפְתִ֖ים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מֵעִם֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הַשֹּׁכֵ֖ן בְּהַ֥ר צִיּֽוֹן׃ס [Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.180/) ## 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:170 # text = הִנֵּ֣ה אָנֹכִ֗י וְהַיְלָדִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָֽתַן־לִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לְאֹת֥וֹת וּלְמוֹפְתִ֖ים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מֵעִם֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת הַשֹּׁכֵ֖ן בְּהַ֥ר צִיּֽוֹן׃ס # verse = ISA.8.18 1 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 12 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=ISA_8:18!1|MId=o230080180011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 אָנֹכִ֗י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ISA_8:18!2|MId=o230080180021|Strong=0595|Type=personal 3-5 וְהַיְלָדִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_8:18!3|MId=o230080180031|Strong=2050b 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ISA_8:18!3|MId=o230080180032|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 יְלָדִים֙ יֶלֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=children|Ref=ISA_8:18!3|MId=o230080180033|Strong=3206 6 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=ISA_8:18!4|MId=o230080180041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 נָֽתַן־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=ISA_8:18!5|MId=o230080180051|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:230080180071;A1:230080180033;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 לִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_8:18!6|MId=o230080180061|Strong=3807a 9 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ISA_8:18!6|MId=o230080180062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_8:18!7|MId=o230080180071|Strong=3068 11-12 לְאֹת֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=[are].for|Ref=ISA_8:18!8|MId=o230080180081|Strong=3807a 12 אֹת֥וֹת אוֹת NOUN _ Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=signs|Ref=ISA_8:18!8|MId=o230080180082|Strong=0226 13-15 וּלְמוֹפְתִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_8:18!9|MId=o230080180091|Strong=2050b 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ISA_8:18!9|MId=o230080180092|Strong=3807a 15 מוֹפְתִ֖ים מוֹפֵת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=portents|Ref=ISA_8:18!9|MId=o230080180093|Strong=4159 16-17 בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ISA_8:18!10|MId=o230080180101|Strong=0871a 17 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=ISA_8:18!10|MId=o230080180102|Strong=3478 18-19 מֵעִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ISA_8:18!11|MId=o230080180111|Strong=4480 19 עִם֙ עִם ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_8:18!11|MId=o230080180112|Strong=5973 20 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ISA_8:18!12|MId=o230080180121|Strong=3068 21 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=ISA_8:18!13|MId=o230080180131|Strong=6635 22-23 הַשֹּׁכֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=ISA_8:18!14|MId=o230080180141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שֹּׁכֵ֖ן שָׁכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=dwells|Ref=ISA_8:18!14|MId=o230080180142|Strong=7931|Frame=A0:230080180121;|Type=participle_active 24-25 בְּהַ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_8:18!15|MId=o230080180151|Strong=0871a 25 הַ֥ר הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=the.mountain|Ref=ISA_8:18!15|MId=o230080180152|Strong=2022 26 צִיּֽוֹן צִיּוֹן PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zion|Ref=ISA_8:18!16|MId=o230080180161|Strong=6726|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_8:18!16|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_8:18!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נָֽתַן־ *he has given* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | יְלָדִים *children* | | | | שֹּׁכֵן *dwells* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
