Obadiah 1:12 in Hebrew --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/OBA.1.12/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Obadiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/OBA/) / [chapter 1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/OBA/1/) / 1:12 # Obadiah 1:12 עֹבַדְיָה **Who acts:** thou, children · **What happens:** not gaze, rejoice, speak, destroy · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Obadiah 1:12 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — thou, children — and what happens in the verse, 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 1 chapters of Obadiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְאַל־תֵּ֤רֶא בְיוֹם־אָחִ֙יךָ֙ בְּי֣וֹם נָכְר֔וֹ וְאַל־תִּשְׂמַ֥ח לִבְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָ֖ה בְּי֣וֹם אָבְדָ֑ם וְאַל־תַּגְדֵּ֥ל פִּ֖יךָ בְּי֥וֹם צָרָֽה׃ [But thou shouldest not have gazed on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/OBA.14/) ## 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:OBA:11 # text = וְאַל־תֵּ֤רֶא בְיוֹם־אָחִ֙יךָ֙ בְּי֣וֹם נָכְר֔וֹ וְאַל־תִּשְׂמַ֥ח לִבְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָ֖ה בְּי֣וֹם אָבְדָ֑ם וְאַל־תַּגְדֵּ֥ל פִּ֖יךָ בְּי֥וֹם צָרָֽה׃ # verse = OBA.1.12 1-2 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:12!1|MId=o310010120011|Strong=2050b 2 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=OBA_1:12!1|MId=o310010120012|Strong=0408|Type=negative 3 תֵּ֤רֶא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=look|Ref=OBA_1:12!2|MId=o310010120021|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:310010090081;|Type=jussive 4-5 בְיוֹם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=OBA_1:12!3|MId=o310010120031|Strong=0871a 5 יוֹם־ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=OBA_1:12!3|MId=o310010120032|Strong=3117 6-7 אָחִ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אָחִ֙י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.brother|Ref=OBA_1:12!4|MId=o310010120041|Strong=0251 7 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=OBA_1:12!4|MId=o310010120042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-9 בְּי֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=OBA_1:12!5|MId=o310010120051|Strong=0871a 9 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nmod _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=OBA_1:12!5|MId=o310010120052|Strong=3117 10-11 נָכְר֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 נָכְר נֶכֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.misfortune|Ref=OBA_1:12!6|MId=o310010120061|Strong=5235 11 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=OBA_1:12!6|MId=o310010120062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:12!7|MId=o310010120071|Strong=2050b 13 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=OBA_1:12!7|MId=o310010120072|Strong=0408|Type=negative 14 תִּשְׂמַ֥ח שָׂמַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=rejoice|Ref=OBA_1:12!8|MId=o310010120081|Strong=8055|Frame=A0:310010090081;|Type=jussive 15-16 לִבְנֵֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=OBA_1:12!9|MId=o310010120091|Strong=3807a 16 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=OBA_1:12!9|MId=o310010120092|Strong=1121 17 יְהוּדָ֖ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=OBA_1:12!10|MId=o310010120101|Strong=3063 18-19 בְּי֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=OBA_1:12!11|MId=o310010120111|Strong=0871a 19 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=OBA_1:12!11|MId=o310010120112|Strong=3117 20-21 אָבְדָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אָבְד אָבַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 acl _ Gloss=perish|Ref=OBA_1:12!12|MId=o310010120121|Strong=0006|Frame=A0:310010120122;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=OBA_1:12!12|MId=o310010120122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:12!13|MId=o310010120131|Strong=2050b 23 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=OBA_1:12!13|MId=o310010120132|Strong=0408|Type=negative 24 תַּגְדֵּ֥ל גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=make.big|Ref=OBA_1:12!14|MId=o310010120141|Strong=1431|Frame=AA:310010090081;A0:310010120151;|Type=jussive 25-26 פִּ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 פִּ֖י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=OBA_1:12!15|MId=o310010120151|Strong=6310 26 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=OBA_1:12!15|MId=o310010120152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27-28 בְּי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=on.[the]|Ref=OBA_1:12!16|MId=o310010120161|Strong=0871a 28 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=OBA_1:12!16|MId=o310010120162|Strong=3117 29 צָרָֽה צָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.trouble|Ref=OBA_1:12!17|MId=o310010120171|Strong=6869|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=OBA_1:12!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֵּרֶא *look* | jussive · qal | | | | | | **not** תִּשְׂמַח *rejoice* | jussive · qal | | | | | | אָבְד *perish* | infinitive construct · qal | ָם *they* | | | | | **not** תַּגְדֵּל *make big* | jussive · hiphil | פִּי *mouth* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
