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 — Thou, light — and what happens in the verse, 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 ׀ אֶת־עֹ֣ל סֻבֳּל֗וֹ וְאֵת֙ מַטֵּ֣ה שִׁכְמ֔וֹ שֵׁ֖בֶט הַנֹּגֵ֣שׂ בּ֑וֹ הַחִתֹּ֖תָ כְּי֥וֹם מִדְיָֽן׃ [For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, Thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.189/) ## 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:178 # text = כִּ֣י ׀ אֶת־עֹ֣ל סֻבֳּל֗וֹ וְאֵת֙ מַטֵּ֣ה שִׁכְמ֔וֹ שֵׁ֖בֶט הַנֹּגֵ֣שׂ בּ֑וֹ הַחִתֹּ֖תָ כְּי֥וֹם מִדְיָֽן׃ # verse = ISA.9.3 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ISA_9:3!1|MId=o230090030011|Strong=3588 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=ISA_9:3!1 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_9:3!2|MId=o230090030021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 עֹ֣ל עֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=the.yoke|Ref=ISA_9:3!3|MId=o230090030031|Strong=5923 5-6 סֻבֳּל֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 סֻבֳּל סֹבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.burden|Ref=ISA_9:3!4|MId=o230090030041|Strong=5448 6 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_9:3!4|MId=o230090030042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְאֵת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_9:3!5|MId=o230090030051|Strong=2050b 8 אֵת֙ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ISA_9:3!5|MId=o230090030052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 מַטֵּ֣ה מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=the.staff|Ref=ISA_9:3!6|MId=o230090030061|Strong=4294 10-11 שִׁכְמ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 שִׁכְמ שְׁכֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.shoulder|Ref=ISA_9:3!7|MId=o230090030071|Strong=7926 11 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_9:3!7|MId=o230090030072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 שֵׁ֖בֶט שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=the.rod|Ref=ISA_9:3!8|MId=o230090030081|Strong=7626 13-14 הַנֹּגֵ֣שׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=of|Ref=ISA_9:3!9|MId=o230090030091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 נֹּגֵ֣שׂ נָגַשׂ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.[one.who].oppresses|Ref=ISA_9:3!9|MId=o230090030092|Strong=5065|Type=participle_active 15-16 בּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=ISA_9:3!10|MId=o230090030101|Strong=0871a 16 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_9:3!10|MId=o230090030102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 הַחִתֹּ֖תָ חָתַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.shatter|Ref=ISA_9:3!11|MId=o230090030111|Strong=2865|Frame=AA:230080210113;A0:230090030031;230090030061;|Type=qatal 18-19 כְּי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ISA_9:3!12|MId=o230090030121|Strong=3509a 19 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=ISA_9:3!12|MId=o230090030122|Strong=3117 20 מִדְיָֽן מִדְיָן PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Midian|Ref=ISA_9:3!13|MId=o230090030131|Strong=4080|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=ISA_9:3!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הַחִתֹּתָ *you will shatter* | qatal · hiphil | עֹל *the yoke* + מַטֵּה *the staff* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
