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 — necks, LORD — and what happens in the verse to parable, We, portion, fields, 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 7 chapters of Micah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא יִשָּׂ֧א עֲלֵיכֶ֣ם מָשָׁ֗ל וְנָהָ֨ה נְהִ֤י נִֽהְיָה֙ אָמַר֙ שָׁד֣וֹד נְשַׁדֻּ֔נוּ חֵ֥לֶק עַמִּ֖י יָמִ֑יר אֵ֚יךְ יָמִ֣ישׁ לִ֔י לְשׁוֹבֵ֥ב שָׂדֵ֖ינוּ יְחַלֵּֽק׃ [In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say: 'We are utterly ruined; he changeth the portion of my people; how doth he remove it from me!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MIC.22/) [Instead of restoring our fields, he divideth them.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MIC.23/) ## 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:MIC:19 # text = בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא יִשָּׂ֧א עֲלֵיכֶ֣ם מָשָׁ֗ל וְנָהָ֨ה נְהִ֤י נִֽהְיָה֙ אָמַר֙ שָׁד֣וֹד נְשַׁדֻּ֔נוּ חֵ֥לֶק עַמִּ֖י יָמִ֑יר אֵ֚יךְ יָמִ֣ישׁ לִ֔י לְשׁוֹבֵ֥ב שָׂדֵ֖ינוּ יְחַלֵּֽק׃ # verse = MIC.2.4 1-3 בַּיּ֨וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=MIC_2:4!1|MId=o330020040011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=MIC_2:4!1|MId=o330020040011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 יּ֨וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=MIC_2:4!1|MId=o330020040012|Strong=3117 4-5 הַה֜וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=MIC_2:4!2|MId=o330020040021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 ה֜וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=MIC_2:4!2|MId=o330020040022|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6 יִשָּׂ֧א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=someone.will.lift.up|Ref=MIC_2:4!3|MId=o330020040031|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:330020040132;A1:330020040051;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 עֲלֵיכֶ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=MIC_2:4!4|MId=o330020040041|Strong=5921 8 כֶ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=MIC_2:4!4|MId=o330020040042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9 מָשָׁ֗ל מָשָׁל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=a.saying|Ref=MIC_2:4!5|MId=o330020040051|Strong=4912 10-11 וְנָהָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_2:4!6|MId=o330020040061|Strong=2050b 11 נָהָ֨ה נָהָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.will.wail|Ref=MIC_2:4!6|MId=o330020040062|Strong=5091|Frame=A0:330020040132;A1:330020040071;|Type=weqatal 12 נְהִ֤י נְהִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=a.wailing|Ref=MIC_2:4!7|MId=o330020040071|Strong=5092 13 נִֽהְיָה֙ היה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=it.is.finished|Ref=MIC_2:4!8|MId=o330020040081|Strong=1961|Type=qatal 14 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.say|Ref=MIC_2:4!9|MId=o330020040091|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:330020040132;|Type=qatal 15 שָׁד֣וֹד שָׁדַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 obl:npmod _ Gloss=utterly.(devastate)|Ref=MIC_2:4!10|MId=o330020040101|Strong=7703|Type=infinitive_absolute 16 נְשַׁדֻּ֔נוּ שָׁדַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 14 ccomp _ Gloss=we.are.devastated|Ref=MIC_2:4!11|MId=o330020040111|Strong=7703|Frame=A1:330020040132;330020030082;|Type=qatal 17 חֵ֥לֶק חֵלֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=the.portion|Ref=MIC_2:4!12|MId=o330020040121|Strong=2506 18-19 עַמִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.people|Ref=MIC_2:4!13|MId=o330020040131|Strong=5971 19 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=MIC_2:4!13|MId=o330020040132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20 יָמִ֑יר מוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 parataxis _ Gloss=he.changes|Ref=MIC_2:4!14|MId=o330020040141|Strong=4171|Frame=AA:330020030041;A0:330020040121;|Type=yiqtol 21 אֵ֚יךְ אֵיךְ INTJ _ _ 22 discourse _ Gloss=how!|Ref=MIC_2:4!15|MId=o330020040151|Strong=0349|Type=interrogative 22 יָמִ֣ישׁ מוּשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 parataxis _ Gloss=he.removes.[it]|Ref=MIC_2:4!16|MId=o330020040161|Strong=4185|Frame=AA:330020030041;A0:330020040121;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 לִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=MIC_2:4!17|MId=o330020040171|Strong=3807a 24 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=MIC_2:4!17|MId=o330020040172|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25-26 לְשׁוֹבֵ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=MIC_2:4!18|MId=o330020040181|Strong=3807a 26 שׁוֹבֵ֥ב שׁוֹבֵב VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 advcl _ Gloss=an.apostate|Ref=MIC_2:4!18|MId=o330020040182|Strong=7725|Type=adjective 27-28 שָׂדֵ֖ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 שָׂדֵ֖י שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 obj _ Gloss=fields|Ref=MIC_2:4!19|MId=o330020040191|Strong=7704 28 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=MIC_2:4!19|MId=o330020040192|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 29 יְחַלֵּֽק חָלַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 parataxis _ Gloss=he.apportions|Ref=MIC_2:4!20|MId=o330020040201|Strong=2505|Frame=A0:330020030041;A1:330020040191;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=MIC_2:4!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
