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, ye — and what happens in the verse to you, ways, respect, persons, 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. וְגַם־אֲנִ֞י נָתַ֧תִּי אֶתְכֶ֛ם נִבְזִ֥ים וּשְׁפָלִ֖ים לְכָל־הָעָ֑ם כְּפִ֗י אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵֽינְכֶם֙ שֹׁמְרִ֣ים אֶת־דְּרָכַ֔י וְנֹשְׂאִ֥ים פָּנִ֖ים בַּתּוֹרָֽה׃פ [Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept My ways, but have had respect of persons in the law.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MAL.28/) ## 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:22 # text = וְגַם־אֲנִ֞י נָתַ֧תִּי אֶתְכֶ֛ם נִבְזִ֥ים וּשְׁפָלִ֖ים לְכָל־הָעָ֑ם כְּפִ֗י אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵֽינְכֶם֙ שֹׁמְרִ֣ים אֶת־דְּרָכַ֔י וְנֹשְׂאִ֥ים פָּנִ֖ים בַּתּוֹרָֽה׃פ # verse = MAL.2.9 1-2 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_2:9!1|MId=o390020090011|Strong=2050b 2 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=MAL_2:9!1|MId=o390020090012|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 3 אֲנִ֞י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=MAL_2:9!2|MId=o390020090021|Strong=0589|Type=personal 4 נָתַ֧תִּי נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.have.made|Ref=MAL_2:9!3|MId=o390020090031|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:390020090021;A1:390020090042;|Type=qatal 5-6 אֶתְכֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=|Ref=MAL_2:9!4|MId=o390020090041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 6 ְכֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=MAL_2:9!4|MId=o390020090042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 7 נִבְזִ֥ים בָּזָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 4 xcomp _ Gloss=despised|Ref=MAL_2:9!5|MId=o390020090051|Strong=0959|Frame=A1:390020010052;|Type=participle_passive 8-9 וּשְׁפָלִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_2:9!6|MId=o390020090061|Strong=2050b 9 שְׁפָלִ֖ים שָׁפָל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 conj _ Gloss=lowly|Ref=MAL_2:9!6|MId=o390020090062|Strong=8217|Type=adjective 10-11 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=MAL_2:9!7|MId=o390020090071|Strong=3807a 11 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=MAL_2:9!7|MId=o390020090072|Strong=3605 12-13 הָעָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=MAL_2:9!8|MId=o390020090081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עָ֑ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=people|Ref=MAL_2:9!8|MId=o390020090082|Strong=5971 14-15 כְּפִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=MAL_2:9!9|MId=o390020090091|Strong=3509a 15 פִ֗י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=to.[the].mouth|Ref=MAL_2:9!9|MId=o390020090092|Strong=6310 16 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=of.that|Ref=MAL_2:9!10|MId=o390020090101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17-18 אֵֽינְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֵֽינ אַיִן ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=MAL_2:9!11|MId=o390020090111|Strong=0369|Type=negative 18 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=MAL_2:9!11|MId=o390020090112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 19 שֹׁמְרִ֣ים שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].keeping|Ref=MAL_2:9!12|MId=o390020090121|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:390020090112;A1:390020090141;|Type=participle_active 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=MAL_2:9!13|MId=o390020090131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 דְּרָכַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 דְּרָכ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=ways|Ref=MAL_2:9!14|MId=o390020090141|Strong=1870 22 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=MAL_2:9!14|MId=o390020090142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְנֹשְׂאִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_2:9!15|MId=o390020090151|Strong=2050b 24 נֹשְׂאִ֥ים נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 19 conj _ Gloss=[you.are].lifting.up|Ref=MAL_2:9!15|MId=o390020090152|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:390020010052;A1:390020090161;|Type=participle_active 25 פָּנִ֖ים פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 24 obj _ Gloss=faces|Ref=MAL_2:9!16|MId=o390020090161|Strong=6440 26-28 בַּתּוֹרָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=MAL_2:9!17|MId=o390020090171|Strong=0871a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=MAL_2:9!17|MId=o390020090171ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 תּוֹרָֽה תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=instruction|Ref=MAL_2:9!17|MId=o390020090172|Strong=8451 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=MAL_2:9!17|SpaceAfter=No 30 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=MAL_2:9!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נָתַתִּי *I have made* | qatal · qal | אֲנִי *I* | ְכֶם *you* | | | | נִבְזִים *despised* | participle passive · niphal | | | | | | **not** שֹׁמְרִים *\[are\] keeping* | participle active · qal | ְכֶם *you* | דְּרָכ *ways* | | | | נֹשְׂאִים *\[you are\] lifting up* | participle active · qal | | פָּנִים *faces* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
