Zechariah 2:12 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ZEC.2.12/) [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/) / [Zechariah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ZEC/) / [chapter 2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/ZEC/2/) / 2:12 # Zechariah 2:12 זְכַרְיָה **Who acts:** LORD, nations · **What happens:** say, send, spoil, touch · **To what, where:** me, you, apple · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Zechariah 2:12 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 — LORD, nations — and what happens in the verse to me, you, apple, 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. כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ אַחַ֣ר כָּב֔וֹד שְׁלָחַ֕נִי אֶל־הַגּוֹיִ֖ם הַשֹּׁלְלִ֣ים אֶתְכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ בָּכֶ֔ם נֹגֵ֖עַ בְּבָבַ֥ת עֵינֽוֹ׃ [For thus saith the LORD of hosts who sent me after glory unto the nations which spoiled you: 'Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.28/) ## 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:28 # text = כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ אַחַ֣ר כָּב֔וֹד שְׁלָחַ֕נִי אֶל־הַגּוֹיִ֖ם הַשֹּׁלְלִ֣ים אֶתְכֶ֑ם כִּ֚י הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ בָּכֶ֔ם נֹגֵ֖עַ בְּבָבַ֥ת עֵינֽוֹ׃ # verse = ZEC.2.12 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ZEC_2:12!1|MId=o380020120011|Strong=3588 2 כֹ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=ZEC_2:12!2|MId=o380020120021|Strong=3541 3 אָמַר֮ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=ZEC_2:12!3|MId=o380020120031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:380020120041;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_2:12!4|MId=o380020120041|Strong=3068 5 צְבָאוֹת֒ צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=ZEC_2:12!5|MId=o380020120051|Strong=6635 6 אַחַ֣ר אַחַר ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=ZEC_2:12!6|MId=o380020120061|Strong=0310 7 כָּב֔וֹד כָּבוֹד NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=honor|Ref=ZEC_2:12!7|MId=o380020120071|Strong=3519 8-9 שְׁלָחַ֕נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 שְׁלָח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 ccomp _ Gloss=he|Ref=ZEC_2:12!8|MId=o380020120081|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:380020120071;A1:380020120082;|Type=qatal 9 ַ֕נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=has.sent.me|Ref=ZEC_2:12!8|MId=o380020120082|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 10 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_2:12!9|MId=o380020120091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַגּוֹיִ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_2:12!10|MId=o380020120101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 גּוֹיִ֖ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=nations|Ref=ZEC_2:12!10|MId=o380020120102|Strong=1471 13-14 הַשֹּׁלְלִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=[which|Ref=ZEC_2:12!11|MId=o380020120111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 שֹּׁלְלִ֣ים שָׁלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=have].plundered|Ref=ZEC_2:12!11|MId=o380020120112|Strong=7997|Frame=A0:380020120102;A1:380020120122;|Type=participle_active 15-16 אֶתְכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_2:12!12|MId=o380020120121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ְכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=ZEC_2:12!12|MId=o380020120122|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17 כִּ֚י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=ZEC_2:12!13|MId=o380020120131|Strong=3588 18-19 הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=the.[one|Ref=ZEC_2:12!14|MId=o380020120141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 נֹּגֵ֣עַ נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=who].touches|Ref=ZEC_2:12!14|MId=o380020120142|Strong=5060|Type=participle_active 20-21 בָּכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=ZEC_2:12!15|MId=o380020120151|Strong=0871a 21 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ZEC_2:12!15|MId=o380020120152|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 22 נֹגֵ֖עַ נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 3 advcl _ Gloss=[is].touching|Ref=ZEC_2:12!16|MId=o380020120161|Strong=5060|Frame=A0:380020120142;|Type=participle_active 23-24 בְּבָבַ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(in).the|Ref=ZEC_2:12!17|MId=o380020120171|Strong=0871a 24 בָבַ֥ת בָּבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=pupil|Ref=ZEC_2:12!17|MId=o380020120172|Strong=0892 25-26 עֵינֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 עֵינ עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.eye|Ref=ZEC_2:12!18|MId=o380020120181|Strong=5869 26 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ZEC_2:12!18|MId=o380020120182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ZEC_2:12!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | שְׁלָח *he* | qatal · qal | כָּבוֹד *honor* | ַנִי *has sent me* | | | | שֹּׁלְלִים *have\] plundered* | participle active · qal | גּוֹיִם *nations* | ְכֶם *you* | | | | נֹגֵעַ *\[is\] touching* | participle active · qal | נֹּגֵעַ *who\] touches* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
