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, LORD — and what happens in the verse to stone, seven facets, graving, iniquity, 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 ׀ הִנֵּ֣ה הָאֶ֗בֶן אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָתַ֙תִּי֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ עַל־אֶ֥בֶן אַחַ֖ת שִׁבְעָ֣ה עֵינָ֑יִם הִנְנִ֧י מְפַתֵּ֣חַ פִּתֻּחָ֗הּ נְאֻם֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת וּמַשְׁתִּ֛י אֶת־עֲוֺ֥ן הָאָֽרֶץ־הַהִ֖יא בְּי֥וֹם אֶחָֽד׃ [For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone are seven facets; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts: And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.42/) ## 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:42 # text = כִּ֣י ׀ הִנֵּ֣ה הָאֶ֗בֶן אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָתַ֙תִּי֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ עַל־אֶ֥בֶן אַחַ֖ת שִׁבְעָ֣ה עֵינָ֑יִם הִנְנִ֧י מְפַתֵּ֣חַ פִּתֻּחָ֗הּ נְאֻם֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת וּמַשְׁתִּ֛י אֶת־עֲוֺ֥ן הָאָֽרֶץ־הַהִ֖יא בְּי֥וֹם אֶחָֽד׃ # verse = ZEC.3.9 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=ZEC_3:9!1|MId=o380030090011|Strong=3588 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=ZEC_3:9!1 3 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 5 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=ZEC_3:9!2|MId=o380030090021|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 4-5 הָאֶ֗בֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_3:9!3|MId=o380030090031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אֶ֗בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=stone|Ref=ZEC_3:9!3|MId=o380030090032|Strong=0068 6 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ZEC_3:9!4|MId=o380030090041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 נָתַ֙תִּי֙ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.have.set|Ref=ZEC_3:9!5|MId=o380030090051|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:380030070031;A1:380030090032;|Type=qatal 8-9 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=ZEC_3:9!6|MId=o380030090061|Strong=3807a 9 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_3:9!6|MId=o380030090062|Strong=6440 10 יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ יְהֹושֻׁעַ PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Joshua|Ref=ZEC_3:9!7|MId=o380030090071|Strong=3091 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=[are].on|Ref=ZEC_3:9!8|MId=o380030090081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 12 אֶ֥בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=a.stone|Ref=ZEC_3:9!9|MId=o380030090091|Strong=0068 13 אַחַ֖ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=ZEC_3:9!10|MId=o380030090101|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 14 שִׁבְעָ֣ה שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=ZEC_3:9!11|MId=o380030090111|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 15 עֵינָ֑יִם עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 12 nsubj _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=ZEC_3:9!12|MId=o380030090121|Strong=5869 16-17 הִנְנִ֧י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 18 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=ZEC_3:9!13|MId=o380030090131|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 17 ְנִ֧י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=ZEC_3:9!13|MId=o380030090132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18 מְפַתֵּ֣חַ פָּתַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].about.to.engrave|Ref=ZEC_3:9!14|MId=o380030090141|Strong=6605a|Frame=A0:380030090132;A1:380030090151;|Type=participle_active 19-20 פִּתֻּחָ֗הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 פִּתֻּח פִּתּוּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=engraving|Ref=ZEC_3:9!15|MId=o380030090151|Strong=6603 20 ָ֗הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=ZEC_3:9!15|MId=o380030090152|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 נְאֻם֙ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=ZEC_3:9!16|MId=o380030090161|Strong=5002 22 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_3:9!17|MId=o380030090171|Strong=3068 23 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=ZEC_3:9!18|MId=o380030090181|Strong=6635 24-25 וּמַשְׁתִּ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_3:9!19|MId=o380030090191|Strong=2050b 25 מַשְׁתִּ֛י מוּשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 conj _ Gloss=I.will.remove|Ref=ZEC_3:9!19|MId=o380030090192|Strong=4185|Frame=A0:380030090171;A1:380030090211;|Type=weqatal 26 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ZEC_3:9!20|MId=o380030090201|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 27 עֲוֺ֥ן עָוֺן NOUN _ Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=the.iniquity|Ref=ZEC_3:9!21|MId=o380030090211|Strong=5771 28-29 הָאָֽרֶץ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ZEC_3:9!22|MId=o380030090221|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 אָֽרֶץ־ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=ZEC_3:9!22|MId=o380030090222|Strong=0776 30-31 הַהִ֖יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ZEC_3:9!23|MId=o380030090231|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 הִ֖יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=ZEC_3:9!23|MId=o380030090232|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 32-33 בְּי֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEC_3:9!24|MId=o380030090241|Strong=0871a 33 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=ZEC_3:9!24|MId=o380030090242|Strong=3117 34 אֶחָֽד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 33 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=ZEC_3:9!25|MId=o380030090251|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=ZEC_3:9!25 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
