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 — hosts, LORD, I, man, own son, Mine — and what happens in the verse to Mine, own treasure, hosts, own son, Lord, 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. וְהָ֣יוּ לִ֗י אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת לַיּ֕וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנִ֖י עֹשֶׂ֣ה סְגֻלָּ֑ה וְחָמַלְתִּ֣י עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר֙ יַחְמֹ֣ל אִ֔ישׁ עַל־בְּנ֖וֹ הָעֹבֵ֥ד אֹתֽוֹ׃ [And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MAL.65/) ## 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:47 # text = וְהָ֣יוּ לִ֗י אָמַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת לַיּ֕וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנִ֖י עֹשֶׂ֣ה סְגֻלָּ֑ה וְחָמַלְתִּ֣י עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר֙ יַחְמֹ֣ל אִ֔ישׁ עַל־בְּנ֖וֹ הָעֹבֵ֥ד אֹתֽוֹ׃ # verse = MAL.3.17 1-2 וְהָ֣יוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_3:17!1|MId=o390030170011|Strong=2050b 2 הָ֣יוּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=they.will.belong|Ref=MAL_3:17!1|MId=o390030170012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:390030160152;|Type=weqatal 3-4 לִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=MAL_3:17!2|MId=o390030170021|Strong=3807a 4 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=MAL_3:17!2|MId=o390030170022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=MAL_3:17!3|MId=o390030170031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:390030170041;|Type=qatal 6 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=MAL_3:17!4|MId=o390030170041|Strong=3068 7 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=MAL_3:17!5|MId=o390030170051|Strong=6635 8-10 לַיּ֕וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=MAL_3:17!6|MId=o390030170061|Strong=3807a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=MAL_3:17!6|MId=o390030170061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 יּ֕וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=MAL_3:17!6|MId=o390030170062|Strong=3117 11 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=when|Ref=MAL_3:17!7|MId=o390030170071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12 אֲנִ֖י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=MAL_3:17!8|MId=o390030170081|Strong=0589|Type=personal 13 עֹשֶׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[will.be].making|Ref=MAL_3:17!9|MId=o390030170091|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:390030170081;|Type=participle_active 14 סְגֻלָּ֑ה סְגֻלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 ccomp _ Gloss=a.possession|Ref=MAL_3:17!10|MId=o390030170101|Strong=5459 15-16 וְחָמַלְתִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_3:17!11|MId=o390030170111|Strong=2050b 16 חָמַלְתִּ֣י חָמַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 14 conj _ Gloss=I.will.have.compassion|Ref=MAL_3:17!11|MId=o390030170112|Strong=2550|Frame=A0:390030170041;|Type=weqatal 17-18 עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=MAL_3:17!12|MId=o390030170121|Strong=5921 18 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=MAL_3:17!12|MId=o390030170122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-20 כַּֽאֲשֶׁר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 כַּֽ כְּ ADP _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=MAL_3:17!13|MId=o390030170131|Strong=3509a 20 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=MAL_3:17!13|MId=o390030170132|Strong=0834|Type=relative 21 יַחְמֹ֣ל חָמַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.compassion|Ref=MAL_3:17!14|MId=o390030170141|Strong=2550|Frame=A0:390030170151;|Type=yiqtol 22 אִ֔ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=MAL_3:17!15|MId=o390030170151|Strong=0376 23 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=MAL_3:17!16|MId=o390030170161|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 בְּנ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=son|Ref=MAL_3:17!17|MId=o390030170171|Strong=1121 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=MAL_3:17!17|MId=o390030170172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-27 הָעֹבֵ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=MAL_3:17!18|MId=o390030170181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 עֹבֵ֥ד עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 24 appos _ Gloss=serves|Ref=MAL_3:17!18|MId=o390030170182|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:390030170171;A1:390030170192;|Type=participle_active 28-29 אֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=|Ref=MAL_3:17!19|MId=o390030170191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 29 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=MAL_3:17!19|MId=o390030170192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=MAL_3:17!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
