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, ye — 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 4 chapters of Joel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְגַם־עַתָּה֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה שֻׁ֥בוּ עָדַ֖י בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֑ם וּבְצ֥וֹם וּבְבְכִ֖יוּבְמִסְפֵּֽד׃ [Yet even now, saith the LORD, turn ye unto Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOL.32/) ## 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:JOL:31 # text = וְגַם־עַתָּה֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה שֻׁ֥בוּ עָדַ֖י בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֑ם וּבְצ֥וֹם וּבְבְכִ֖יוּבְמִסְפֵּֽד׃ # verse = JOL.2.12 1-2 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOL_2:12!1|MId=o290020120011|Strong=2050b 2 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=JOL_2:12!1|MId=o290020120012|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 3 עַתָּה֙ עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=JOL_2:12!2|MId=o290020120021|Strong=6258 4 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JOL_2:12!3|MId=o290020120031|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 5 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JOL_2:12!4|MId=o290020120041|Strong=3068 6 שֻׁ֥בוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=return|Ref=JOL_2:12!5|MId=o290020120051|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:290020010091;|Type=imperative 7-8 עָדַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 עָד עַד ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOL_2:12!6|MId=o290020120061|Strong=5704 8 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JOL_2:12!6|MId=o290020120062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOL_2:12!7|MId=o290020120071|Strong=0871a 10 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JOL_2:12!7|MId=o290020120072|Strong=3605 11-12 לְבַבְכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְבַב לֵבָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=heart|Ref=JOL_2:12!8|MId=o290020120081|Strong=3824 12 ְכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOL_2:12!8|MId=o290020120082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13-15 וּבְצ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOL_2:12!9|MId=o290020120091|Strong=2050b 14 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOL_2:12!9|MId=o290020120092|Strong=0871a 15 צ֥וֹם צוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=fasting|Ref=JOL_2:12!9|MId=o290020120093|Strong=6685 16-21 וּבְבְכִ֖יוּבְמִסְפֵּֽד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOL_2:12!10|MId=o290020120101|Strong=2050b 17 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOL_2:12!10|MId=o290020120102|Strong=0871a 18 בְכִ֖י בְּכִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=weeping|Ref=JOL_2:12!10|MId=o290020120103|Strong=1065 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOL_2:12!11|MId=o290020120111|Strong=2050b 20 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOL_2:12!11|MId=o290020120112|Strong=0871a 21 מִסְפֵּֽד מִסְפֵּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=wailing|Ref=JOL_2:12!11|MId=o290020120113|Strong=4553 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=JOL_2:12!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שֻׁבוּ *return* | imperative · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
