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 — shepherds, Nimrod — and what happens in the verse to land, us, Assyrian, 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. וְרָע֞וּ אֶת־אֶ֤רֶץ אַשּׁוּר֙ בַּחֶ֔רֶב וְאֶת־אֶ֥רֶץ נִמְרֹ֖ד בִּפְתָחֶ֑יהָ וְהִצִּיל֙ מֵֽאַשּׁ֔וּר כִּֽי־יָב֣וֹא בְאַרְצֵ֔נוּ וְכִ֥י יִדְרֹ֖ךְ בִּגְבוּלֵֽנוּ׃ס [And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the keen-edged sword; and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/MIC.68/) ## 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:59 # text = וְרָע֞וּ אֶת־אֶ֤רֶץ אַשּׁוּר֙ בַּחֶ֔רֶב וְאֶת־אֶ֥רֶץ נִמְרֹ֖ד בִּפְתָחֶ֑יהָ וְהִצִּיל֙ מֵֽאַשּׁ֔וּר כִּֽי־יָב֣וֹא בְאַרְצֵ֔נוּ וְכִ֥י יִדְרֹ֖ךְ בִּגְבוּלֵֽנוּ׃ס # verse = MIC.5.5 1-2 וְרָע֞וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_5:5!1|MId=o330050050011|Strong=2050b 2 רָע֞וּ רעע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.shepherd|Ref=MIC_5:5!1|MId=o330050050012|Strong=7462|Frame=A0:330050040141;330050040161;A1:330050050031;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=MIC_5:5!2|MId=o330050050021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 אֶ֤רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=MIC_5:5!3|MId=o330050050031|Strong=0776 5 אַשּׁוּר֙ אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=MIC_5:5!4|MId=o330050050041|Strong=0804 6-8 בַּחֶ֔רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=MIC_5:5!5|MId=o330050050051|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=MIC_5:5!5|MId=o330050050051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 חֶ֔רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=sword|Ref=MIC_5:5!5|MId=o330050050052|Strong=2719 9-10 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_5:5!6|MId=o330050050061|Strong=2050b 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=MIC_5:5!6|MId=o330050050062|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=MIC_5:5!7|MId=o330050050071|Strong=0776 12 נִמְרֹ֖ד נִמְרֹד PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Nimrod|Ref=MIC_5:5!8|MId=o330050050081|Strong=5248 13-15 בִּפְתָחֶ֑יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=MIC_5:5!9|MId=o330050050091|Strong=0871a 14 פְתָחֶ֑י פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=entrances|Ref=MIC_5:5!9|MId=o330050050092|Strong=6607 15 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=MIC_5:5!9|MId=o330050050093|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16-17 וְהִצִּיל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_5:5!10|MId=o330050050101|Strong=2050b 17 הִצִּיל֙ נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.deliver.[us]|Ref=MIC_5:5!10|MId=o330050050102|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:330050010121;A0:330010010061;330050020111;|Type=weqatal 18-19 מֵֽאַשּׁ֔וּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=MIC_5:5!11|MId=o330050050111|Strong=4480 19 אַשּׁ֔וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=Assyria|Ref=MIC_5:5!11|MId=o330050050112|Strong=0804 20 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=MIC_5:5!12|MId=o330050050121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 21 יָב֣וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=MIC_5:5!13|MId=o330050050131|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:330050050112;|Type=yiqtol 22-24 בְאַרְצֵ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=MIC_5:5!14|MId=o330050050141|Strong=0871a 23 אַרְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=MIC_5:5!14|MId=o330050050142|Strong=0776 24 ֵ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=MIC_5:5!14|MId=o330050050143|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 25-26 וְכִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=MIC_5:5!15|MId=o330050050151|Strong=2050b 26 כִ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=MIC_5:5!15|MId=o330050050152|Strong=3588 27 יִדְרֹ֖ךְ דָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 conj _ Gloss=it.will.tread|Ref=MIC_5:5!16|MId=o330050050161|Strong=1869|Frame=A0:330050050112;|Type=yiqtol 28-30 בִּגְבוּלֵֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=MIC_5:5!17|MId=o330050050171|Strong=0871a 29 גְבוּל גְּבוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=territory|Ref=MIC_5:5!17|MId=o330050050172|Strong=1366 30 ֵֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=MIC_5:5!17|MId=o330050050173|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=MIC_5:5!17|SpaceAfter=No 32 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=MIC_5:5!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רָעוּ *they will shepherd* | weqatal · qal | | אֶרֶץ *the land* | | | | הִצִּיל *he will deliver \[us\]* | weqatal · hiphil | | | | | | יָבוֹא *it will come* | yiqtol · qal | אַשּׁוּר *Assyria* | | | | | יִדְרֹךְ *it will tread* | yiqtol · qal | אַשּׁוּר *Assyria* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
