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 — I, cup — and what happens in the verse to cup, Jerusalem, Judah, siege, 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. הִנֵּ֣ה אָ֠נֹכִי שָׂ֣ם אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֧ם סַף־רַ֛עַל לְכָל־הָעַמִּ֖ים סָבִ֑יב וְגַ֧ם עַל־יְהוּדָ֛ה יִֽהְיֶ֥ה בַמָּצ֖וֹר עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ [Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of staggering unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it fall to be in the siege against Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.176/) ## 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:168 # text = הִנֵּ֣ה אָ֠נֹכִי שָׂ֣ם אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֧ם סַף־רַ֛עַל לְכָל־הָעַמִּ֖ים סָבִ֑יב וְגַ֧ם עַל־יְהוּדָ֛ה יִֽהְיֶ֥ה בַמָּצ֖וֹר עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ # verse = ZEC.12.2 1 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 3 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=ZEC_12:2!1|MId=o380120020011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2 אָ֠נֹכִי אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ZEC_12:2!2|MId=o380120020021|Strong=0595|Type=personal 3 שָׂ֣ם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].about.to.make|Ref=ZEC_12:2!3|MId=o380120020031|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:380120020021;A1:380120020051;|Type=participle_active 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ZEC_12:2!4|MId=o380120020041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 יְרוּשָׁלִַ֧ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 3 obj _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=ZEC_12:2!5|MId=o380120020051|Strong=3389 6 סַף־ סַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 xcomp _ Gloss=a.basin|Ref=ZEC_12:2!6|MId=o380120020061|Strong=5592a|SpaceAfter=No 7 רַ֛עַל רַעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.reeling|Ref=ZEC_12:2!7|MId=o380120020071|Strong=7478 8-9 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=ZEC_12:2!8|MId=o380120020081|Strong=3807a 9 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=ZEC_12:2!8|MId=o380120020082|Strong=3605 10-11 הָעַמִּ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_12:2!9|MId=o380120020091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 עַמִּ֖ים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=ZEC_12:2!9|MId=o380120020092|Strong=5971 12 סָבִ֑יב סָבִיב ADV _ Number=Sing 11 advmod _ Gloss=all.around|Ref=ZEC_12:2!10|MId=o380120020101|Strong=5439 13-14 וְגַ֧ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_12:2!11|MId=o380120020111|Strong=2050b 14 גַ֧ם גַּם ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=ZEC_12:2!11|MId=o380120020112|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 15 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ZEC_12:2!12|MId=o380120020121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 16 יְהוּדָ֛ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=ZEC_12:2!13|MId=o380120020131|Strong=3063 17 יִֽהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=ZEC_12:2!14|MId=o380120020141|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:380120020061;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 בַמָּצ֖וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEC_12:2!15|MId=o380120020151|Strong=0871a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_12:2!15|MId=o380120020151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מָּצ֖וֹר מָצוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=siege|Ref=ZEC_12:2!15|MId=o380120020152|Strong=4692 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ZEC_12:2!16|MId=o380120020161|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22 יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=ZEC_12:2!17|MId=o380120020171|Strong=3389|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ZEC_12:2!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׂם *\[am\] about to make* | participle active · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* | יְרוּשָׁלִַם *Jerusalem* | | | | יִֽהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | סַף־ *a basin* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
