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 — LORD, clouds — and what happens in the verse to power, guilty, way, dust, 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 Nahum on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. יְהֹוָ֗ה אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וּגְדָל־כֹּ֔חַ וְנַקֵּ֖ה לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֑ה יְהוָ֗ה בְּסוּפָ֤ה וּבִשְׂעָרָה֙ דַּרְכּ֔וֹ וְעָנָ֖ן אֲבַ֥ק רַגְלָֽיו׃ [The LORD is long-suffering, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty; the LORD, in the whirlwind and in the storm is His way, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/NAM.3/) ## 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:NAM:2 # text = יְהֹוָ֗ה אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וּגְדָל־כֹּ֔חַ וְנַקֵּ֖ה לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֑ה יְהוָ֗ה בְּסוּפָ֤ה וּבִשְׂעָרָה֙ דַּרְכּ֔וֹ וְעָנָ֖ן אֲבַ֥ק רַגְלָֽיו׃ # verse = NAM.1.3 1 יְהֹוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NAM_1:3!1|MId=o340010030011|Strong=3068 2 אֶ֤רֶךְ אָרֵךְ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].long|Ref=NAM_1:3!2|MId=o340010030021|Strong=0750|Type=adjective 3 אַפַּ֙יִם֙ אַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.anger(s)|Ref=NAM_1:3!3|MId=o340010030031|Strong=0639 4-5 וּגְדָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NAM_1:3!5|MId=o340010030051|Strong=2050b 5 גְדָל־ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=great|Ref=NAM_1:3!5|MId=o340010030052|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 6 כֹּ֔חַ כֹּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.power|Ref=NAM_1:3!6|MId=o340010030061|Strong=3581 7-8 וְנַקֵּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NAM_1:3!7|MId=o340010030071|Strong=2050b 8 נַקֵּ֖ה נָקָה VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 10 obl:npmod _ Gloss=certainly.(leave.unpunished)|Ref=NAM_1:3!7|MId=o340010030072|Strong=5352|Type=infinitive_absolute 9 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NAM_1:3!8|MId=o340010030081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10 יְנַקֶּ֑ה נָקָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.leave.unpunished|Ref=NAM_1:3!9|MId=o340010030091|Strong=5352|Frame=A0:340010030101;|Type=yiqtol 11 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NAM_1:3!10|MId=o340010030101|Strong=3068 12-13 בְּסוּפָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=NAM_1:3!11|MId=o340010030111|Strong=0871a 13 סוּפָ֤ה סוּפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=storm-wind|Ref=NAM_1:3!11|MId=o340010030112|Strong=5492 14-16 וּבִשְׂעָרָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NAM_1:3!12|MId=o340010030121|Strong=2050b 15 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NAM_1:3!12|MId=o340010030122|Strong=0871a 16 שְׂעָרָה֙ שְׂעָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=storm|Ref=NAM_1:3!12|MId=o340010030123|Strong=8183 17-18 דַּרְכּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 דַּרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=way|Ref=NAM_1:3!13|MId=o340010030131|Strong=1870 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NAM_1:3!13|MId=o340010030132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְעָנָ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NAM_1:3!14|MId=o340010030141|Strong=2050b 20 עָנָ֖ן עָנָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=cloud[s]|Ref=NAM_1:3!14|MId=o340010030142|Strong=6051 21 אֲבַ֥ק אָבָק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[are].the.dust|Ref=NAM_1:3!15|MId=o340010030151|Strong=0080 22-23 רַגְלָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 רַגְלָֽי רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.feet|Ref=NAM_1:3!16|MId=o340010030161|Strong=7272 23 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NAM_1:3!16|MId=o340010030162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=NAM_1:3!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יְנַקֶּה *he will leave unpunished* | yiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
