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 — I, LORD, This — and what happens in the verse to you, favour, any, God, 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 3 chapters of Malachi on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְעַתָּ֛ה חַלּוּ־נָ֥א פְנֵי־אֵ֖ל וִֽיחָנֵ֑נוּמִיֶּדְכֶם֙ הָ֣יְתָה זֹּ֔את הֲיִשָּׂ֤א מִכֶּם֙ פָּנִ֔ים אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ [And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God that He may be gracious unto us! — This hath been of your doing. — Will He accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MAL.13/) ## 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:MAL:8 # text = וְעַתָּ֛ה חַלּוּ־נָ֥א פְנֵי־אֵ֖ל וִֽיחָנֵ֑נוּמִיֶּדְכֶם֙ הָ֣יְתָה זֹּ֔את הֲיִשָּׂ֤א מִכֶּם֙ פָּנִ֔ים אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ # verse = MAL.1.9 1-2 וְעַתָּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_1:9!1|MId=o390010090011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֛ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=MAL_1:9!1|MId=o390010090012|Strong=6258 3 חַלּוּ־ חָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=entreat|Ref=MAL_1:9!2|MId=o390010090021|Strong=2470a|Frame=A0:390010060202;A1:390010090041;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 4 נָ֥א נָא INTJ _ _ 3 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=MAL_1:9!3|MId=o390010090031|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 5 פְנֵי־ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 3 obj _ Gloss=the.face|Ref=MAL_1:9!4|MId=o390010090041|Strong=6440|SpaceAfter=No 6 אֵ֖ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=MAL_1:9!5|MId=o390010090051|Strong=0410 7-12 וִֽיחָנֵ֑נוּמִיֶּדְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=MAL_1:9!6|MId=o390010090061|Strong=2050b 8 יחָנ חָנַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=that|Ref=MAL_1:9!6|MId=o390010090062|Strong=2603|Frame=A0:390010090051;A1:390010090063;|Type=jussive 9 ֵ֑נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=he.may.show.favor.to.us|Ref=MAL_1:9!6|MId=o390010090063|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=MAL_1:9!7|MId=o390010090071|Strong=4480 11 יֶּד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=hand|Ref=MAL_1:9!7|MId=o390010090072|Strong=3027 12 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=MAL_1:9!7|MId=o390010090073|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13 הָ֣יְתָה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=MAL_1:9!8|MId=o390010090081|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:390010090091;|Type=qatal 14 זֹּ֔את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 11 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=MAL_1:9!9|MId=o390010090091|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 15-16 הֲיִשָּׂ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=will|Ref=MAL_1:9!10|MId=o390010090101|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 16 יִשָּׂ֤א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.lift.up?|Ref=MAL_1:9!10|MId=o390010090102|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:390010090051;A1:390010090121;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 מִכֶּם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=any|Ref=MAL_1:9!11|MId=o390010090111|Strong=4480 18 כֶּם֙ מִן PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=of.you|Ref=MAL_1:9!11|MId=o390010090112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 19 פָּנִ֔ים פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=MAL_1:9!12|MId=o390010090121|Strong=6440 20 אָמַ֖ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=MAL_1:9!13|MId=o390010090131|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:390010090141;|Type=qatal 21 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=MAL_1:9!14|MId=o390010090141|Strong=3068 22 צְבָאֽוֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=MAL_1:9!15|MId=o390010090151|Strong=6635|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=MAL_1:9!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חַלּוּ־ *entreat* | imperative · piel | | פְנֵי־ *the face* | | | | יחָנ *that* | jussive · qal | אֵל *of God* | ֵנוּ *he may show favor to us* | | | | הָיְתָה *it was* | qatal · qal | זֹּאת *this* | | | | | יִשָּׂא *he lift up?* | yiqtol · qal | אֵל *of God* | פָּנִים *face* | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
