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, thou, man, breadth — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, breadth, length, 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. וָאֹמַ֕ר אָ֖נָה אַתָּ֣ה הֹלֵ֑ךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י לָמֹד֙ אֶת־יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם לִרְא֥וֹת כַּמָּֽה־רָחְבָּ֖הּ וְכַמָּ֥ה אָרְכָּֽהּ׃ [Then said I: 'Whither goest thou?' And he said unto me: 'To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.22/) ## 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:22 # text = וָאֹמַ֕ר אָ֖נָה אַתָּ֣ה הֹלֵ֑ךְ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלַ֗י לָמֹד֙ אֶת־יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם לִרְא֥וֹת כַּמָּֽה־רָחְבָּ֖הּ וְכַמָּ֥ה אָרְכָּֽהּ׃ # verse = ZEC.2.6 1-2 וָאֹמַ֕ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_2:6!1|MId=o380020060011|Strong=2050b 2 אֹמַ֕ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=ZEC_2:6!1|MId=o380020060012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:380010070171;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אָ֖נָה אָן PRON _ PronType=Prs 5 advmod _ Gloss=where?|Ref=ZEC_2:6!2|MId=o380020060021|Strong=0575 4 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=ZEC_2:6!3|MId=o380020060031|Strong=0859|Type=personal 5 הֹלֵ֑ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=going|Ref=ZEC_2:6!4|MId=o380020060041|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:380020060031;|Type=participle_active 6-7 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_2:6!5|MId=o380020060051|Strong=2050b 7 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=ZEC_2:6!5|MId=o380020060052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:380020050051;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 אֵלַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_2:6!6|MId=o380020060061|Strong=0413 9 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=ZEC_2:6!6|MId=o380020060062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-11 לָמֹד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_2:6!7|MId=o380020060071|Strong=3807a 11 מֹד֙ מָדַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 ccomp _ Gloss=measure|Ref=ZEC_2:6!7|MId=o380020060072|Strong=4058|Frame=A0:380020050051;A1:380020060091;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ZEC_2:6!8|MId=o380020060081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13 יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 11 obj _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=ZEC_2:6!9|MId=o380020060091|Strong=3389 14-15 לִרְא֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_2:6!10|MId=o380020060101|Strong=3807a 15 רְא֥וֹת רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=see|Ref=ZEC_2:6!10|MId=o380020060102|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:380020050051;A1:380020060112;380020060133;|Type=infinitive_construct 16-17 כַּמָּֽה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=how|Ref=ZEC_2:6!11|MId=o380020060111|Strong=3509a 17 מָּֽה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 15 ccomp _ Gloss=much?|Ref=ZEC_2:6!11|MId=o380020060112|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 18-19 רָחְבָּ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 רָחְבּ רֹחַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=breadth|Ref=ZEC_2:6!12|MId=o380020060121|Strong=7341 19 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].its|Ref=ZEC_2:6!12|MId=o380020060122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20-22 וְכַמָּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_2:6!13|MId=o380020060131|Strong=2050b 21 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=how|Ref=ZEC_2:6!13|MId=o380020060132|Strong=3509a 22 מָּ֥ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 17 conj _ Gloss=much?|Ref=ZEC_2:6!13|MId=o380020060133|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 23-24 אָרְכָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אָרְכּ אֹרֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=length|Ref=ZEC_2:6!14|MId=o380020060141|Strong=0753 24 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].its|Ref=ZEC_2:6!14|MId=o380020060142|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ZEC_2:6!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֹמַר *I said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | הֹלֵךְ *going* | participle active · qal | אַתָּה *\[are\] you* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | מֹד *measure* | infinitive construct · qal | | יְרוּשָׁלִַם *Jerusalem* | | | | רְאוֹת *see* | infinitive construct · qal | | מָּֽה־ *much?* + מָּה *much?* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
