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 — and what happens in the verse to Elijah, you, 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. הִנֵּ֤ה אָֽנֹכִי֙ שֹׁלֵ֣חַ לָכֶ֔ם אֵ֖ת אֵלִיָּ֣ה הַנָּבִ֑יא לִפְנֵ֗י בּ֚וֹא י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַגָּד֖וֹל וְהַנּוֹרָֽא׃ [Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MAL.71/) ## 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:53 # text = הִנֵּ֤ה אָֽנֹכִי֙ שֹׁלֵ֣חַ לָכֶ֔ם אֵ֖ת אֵלִיָּ֣ה הַנָּבִ֑יא לִפְנֵ֗י בּ֚וֹא י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַגָּד֖וֹל וְהַנּוֹרָֽא׃ # verse = MAL.3.23 1 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 3 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=MAL_3:23!1|MId=o390030230011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 אָֽנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=MAL_3:23!2|MId=o390030230021|Strong=0595|Type=personal 3 שֹׁלֵ֣חַ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.send|Ref=MAL_3:23!3|MId=o390030230031|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:390030230021;A1:390030230061;|Type=participle_active 4-5 לָכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ל לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=MAL_3:23!4|MId=o390030230041|Strong=3807a 5 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=MAL_3:23!4|MId=o390030230042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=MAL_3:23!5|MId=o390030230051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 7 אֵלִיָּ֣ה אֵלִיָּה PROPN _ _ 3 obj _ Gloss=Elijah|Ref=MAL_3:23!6|MId=o390030230061|Strong=0452 8-9 הַנָּבִ֑יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=MAL_3:23!7|MId=o390030230071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 נָּבִ֑יא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=prophet|Ref=MAL_3:23!7|MId=o390030230072|Strong=5030 10-11 לִפְנֵ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=MAL_3:23!8|MId=o390030230081|Strong=3807a 11 פְנֵ֗י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=MAL_3:23!8|MId=o390030230082|Strong=6440 12 בּ֚וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 acl _ Gloss=comes|Ref=MAL_3:23!9|MId=o390030230091|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:390030230101;|Type=infinitive_construct 13 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=MAL_3:23!10|MId=o390030230101|Strong=3117 14 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=MAL_3:23!11|MId=o390030230111|Strong=3068 15-16 הַגָּד֖וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=MAL_3:23!12|MId=o390030230121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 גָּד֖וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=MAL_3:23!12|MId=o390030230122|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 17-19 וְהַנּוֹרָֽא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MAL_3:23!13|MId=o390030230131|Strong=2050b 18 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=MAL_3:23!13|MId=o390030230132|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 נּוֹרָֽא יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=awesome|Ref=MAL_3:23!13|MId=o390030230133|Strong=3372|Frame=A1:390030230101;|Type=participle_active 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=MAL_3:23!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שֹׁלֵחַ *\[am\] about to send* | participle active · qal | אָֽנֹכִי *I* | אֵלִיָּה *Elijah* | | | | בּוֹא *comes* | infinitive construct · qal | יוֹם *the day* | | | | | נּוֹרָֽא *awesome* | participle active · niphal | | יוֹם *the day* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
