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 — house, fire, remaining, LORD — and what happens in the verse to fire, nations, 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. וְהָיָה֩ בֵית־יַעֲקֹ֨ב אֵ֜שׁ וּבֵ֧ית יוֹסֵ֣ף לֶהָבָ֗ה וּבֵ֤ית עֵשָׂו֙ לְקַ֔שׁ וְדָלְק֥וּ בָהֶ֖ם וַאֲכָל֑וּם וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶ֤השָׂרִיד֙ לְבֵ֣ית עֵשָׂ֔ו כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר׃ [And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/OBA.20/) ## 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:17 # text = וְהָיָה֩ בֵית־יַעֲקֹ֨ב אֵ֜שׁ וּבֵ֧ית יוֹסֵ֣ף לֶהָבָ֗ה וּבֵ֤ית עֵשָׂו֙ לְקַ֔שׁ וְדָלְק֥וּ בָהֶ֖ם וַאֲכָל֑וּם וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶ֤השָׂרִיד֙ לְבֵ֣ית עֵשָׂ֔ו כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר׃ # verse = OBA.1.18 1-2 וְהָיָה֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:18!1|MId=o310010180011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָה֩ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=OBA_1:18!1|MId=o310010180012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:310010180021;|Type=weqatal 3 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=OBA_1:18!2|MId=o310010180021|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 4 יַעֲקֹ֨ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=OBA_1:18!3|MId=o310010180031|Strong=3290 5 אֵ֜שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=OBA_1:18!4|MId=o310010180041|Strong=0784 6-7 וּבֵ֧ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:18!5|MId=o310010180051|Strong=2050b 7 בֵ֧ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=OBA_1:18!5|MId=o310010180052|Strong=1004 8 יוֹסֵ֣ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Joseph|Ref=OBA_1:18!6|MId=o310010180061|Strong=3130 9 לֶהָבָ֗ה לֶהָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=[will.be].a.flame|Ref=OBA_1:18!7|MId=o310010180071|Strong=3852 10-11 וּבֵ֤ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:18!8|MId=o310010180081|Strong=2050b 11 בֵ֤ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=OBA_1:18!8|MId=o310010180082|Strong=1004 12 עֵשָׂו֙ עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Esau|Ref=OBA_1:18!9|MId=o310010180091|Strong=6215 13-14 לְקַ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=OBA_1:18!10|MId=o310010180101|Strong=3807a 14 קַ֔שׁ קַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=become].(into).stubble|Ref=OBA_1:18!10|MId=o310010180102|Strong=7179 15-16 וְדָלְק֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:18!11|MId=o310010180111|Strong=2050b 16 דָלְק֥וּ דָּלַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they.will.burn|Ref=OBA_1:18!11|MId=o310010180112|Strong=1814|Frame=A0:310010180021;310010180052;|Type=weqatal 17-18 בָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=OBA_1:18!12|MId=o310010180121|Strong=0871a 18 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=OBA_1:18!12|MId=o310010180122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-21 וַאֲכָל֑וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:18!13|MId=o310010180131|Strong=2050b 20 אֲכָל֑וּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they|Ref=OBA_1:18!13|MId=o310010180132|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:310010180021;310010180052;A1:310010180133;|Type=weqatal 21 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=will.consume.them|Ref=OBA_1:18!13|MId=o310010180133|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=OBA_1:18!14|MId=o310010180141|Strong=2050b 23 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=OBA_1:18!14|MId=o310010180142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24-25 יִֽהְיֶ֤השָׂרִיד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 יִֽהְיֶ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 cop _ Gloss=he.will.belong|Ref=OBA_1:18!15|MId=o310010180151|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:310010180161;|Type=yiqtol 25 שָׂרִיד֙ שָׂרִיד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=a.survivor|Ref=OBA_1:18!16|MId=o310010180161|Strong=8300 26-27 לְבֵ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=OBA_1:18!17|MId=o310010180171|Strong=3807a 27 בֵ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=OBA_1:18!17|MId=o310010180172|Strong=1004 28 עֵשָׂ֔ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Esau|Ref=OBA_1:18!18|MId=o310010180181|Strong=6215 29 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=OBA_1:18!19|MId=o310010180191|Strong=3588 30 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 31 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=OBA_1:18!20|MId=o310010180201|Strong=3068 31 דִּבֵּֽר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.spoken|Ref=OBA_1:18!21|MId=o310010180211|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:310010180201;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=OBA_1:18!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
