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 — ye, LORD, He — and what happens in the verse to rain, lightnings, showers, 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 14 chapters of Zechariah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. שַׁאֲל֨וּ מֵיְהוָ֤ה מָטָר֙ בְּעֵ֣ת מַלְק֔וֹשׁ יְהוָ֖ה עֹשֶׂ֣ה חֲזִיזִ֑ים וּמְטַר־גֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ יִתֵּ֣ן לָהֶ֔ם לְאִ֖ישׁ עֵ֥שֶׂב בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃ [Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, even of the LORD that maketh lightnings; and He will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.143/) ## 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:ZEC:138 # text = שַׁאֲל֨וּ מֵיְהוָ֤ה מָטָר֙ בְּעֵ֣ת מַלְק֔וֹשׁ יְהוָ֖ה עֹשֶׂ֣ה חֲזִיזִ֑ים וּמְטַר־גֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ יִתֵּ֣ן לָהֶ֔ם לְאִ֖ישׁ עֵ֥שֶׂב בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃ # verse = ZEC.10.1 1 שַׁאֲל֨וּ שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=ask|Ref=ZEC_10:1!1|MId=o380100010011|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:380090160071;A1:380100010031;|Type=imperative 2-3 מֵיְהוָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ZEC_10:1!2|MId=o380100010021|Strong=4480 3 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_10:1!2|MId=o380100010022|Strong=3068 4 מָטָר֙ מָטַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=rain|Ref=ZEC_10:1!3|MId=o380100010031|Strong=4306 5-6 בְּעֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=at.[the]|Ref=ZEC_10:1!4|MId=o380100010041|Strong=0871a 6 עֵ֣ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=time|Ref=ZEC_10:1!4|MId=o380100010042|Strong=6256 7 מַלְק֔וֹשׁ מַלְקוֹשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.spring.rain|Ref=ZEC_10:1!5|MId=o380100010051|Strong=4456 8 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_10:1!6|MId=o380100010061|Strong=3068 9 עֹשֶׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].making|Ref=ZEC_10:1!7|MId=o380100010071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:380100010061;A1:380100010081;|Type=participle_active 10 חֲזִיזִ֑ים חֲזִיז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=thunder-clouds|Ref=ZEC_10:1!8|MId=o380100010081|Strong=2385 11-12 וּמְטַר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_10:1!9|MId=o380100010091|Strong=2050b 12 מְטַר־ מָטַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=rain|Ref=ZEC_10:1!9|MId=o380100010092|Strong=4306 13 גֶּ֙שֶׁם֙ גֶּשֶׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.rain|Ref=ZEC_10:1!10|MId=o380100010101|Strong=1653 14 יִתֵּ֣ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he.gives|Ref=ZEC_10:1!11|MId=o380100010111|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:380100010061;A1:380100010092;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_10:1!12|MId=o380100010121|Strong=3807a 16 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ZEC_10:1!12|MId=o380100010122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17-18 לְאִ֖ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_10:1!13|MId=o380100010131|Strong=3807a 18 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 parataxis _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=ZEC_10:1!13|MId=o380100010132|Strong=0376 19 עֵ֥שֶׂב עֵשֶׂב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=vegetation|Ref=ZEC_10:1!14|MId=o380100010141|Strong=6212 20-22 בַּשָּׂדֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEC_10:1!15|MId=o380100010151|Strong=0871a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_10:1!15|MId=o380100010151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 שָּׂדֶֽה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nmod _ Gloss=field|Ref=ZEC_10:1!15|MId=o380100010152|Strong=7704 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ZEC_10:1!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שַׁאֲלוּ *ask* | imperative · qal | | מָטָר *rain* | | | | עֹשֶׂה *\[is\] making* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | חֲזִיזִים *thunder-clouds* | | | | יִתֵּן *he gives* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מְטַר־ *rain* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
