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 — widow, LORD, great wrath — and what happens in the verse to hearts, law, words, 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. וְלִבָּ֞ם שָׂ֣מוּ שָׁמִ֗יר מִ֠שְּׁמוֹעַ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַדְּבָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁלַ֜ח יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ בְּרוּח֔וֹ בְּיַ֖ד הַנְּבִיאִ֣ים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים וַֽיְהִי֙ קֶ֣צֶף גָּד֔וֹל מֵאֵ֖ת יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ [Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore came there great wrath from the LORD of hosts.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.97/) ## 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:95 # text = וְלִבָּ֞ם שָׂ֣מוּ שָׁמִ֗יר מִ֠שְּׁמוֹעַ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָ֤ה וְאֶת־הַדְּבָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁלַ֜ח יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ בְּרוּח֔וֹ בְּיַ֖ד הַנְּבִיאִ֣ים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים וַֽיְהִי֙ קֶ֣צֶף גָּד֔וֹל מֵאֵ֖ת יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ # verse = ZEC.7.12 1-3 וְלִבָּ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_7:12!1|MId=o380070120011|Strong=2050b 2 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=ZEC_7:12!1|MId=o380070120012|Strong=3820 3 ָ֞ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ZEC_7:12!1|MId=o380070120013|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 4 שָׂ֣מוּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.made|Ref=ZEC_7:12!2|MId=o380070120021|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:380070050041;380070050072;A1:380070120012;|Type=qatal 5 שָׁמִ֗יר שָׁמִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 xcomp _ Gloss=diamond|Ref=ZEC_7:12!3|MId=o380070120031|Strong=8068a 6-7 מִ֠שְּׁמוֹעַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ֠ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ZEC_7:12!4|MId=o380070120041|Strong=4480 7 שְּׁמוֹעַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=hearing|Ref=ZEC_7:12!4|MId=o380070120042|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:380070050041;380070050072;A1:380070120062;380070120082;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ZEC_7:12!5|MId=o380070120051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַתּוֹרָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_7:12!6|MId=o380070120061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 תּוֹרָ֤ה תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=law|Ref=ZEC_7:12!6|MId=o380070120062|Strong=8451 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_7:12!7|MId=o380070120071|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=ZEC_7:12!7|MId=o380070120072|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13-14 הַדְּבָרִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_7:12!8|MId=o380070120081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 דְּבָרִים֙ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=words|Ref=ZEC_7:12!8|MId=o380070120082|Strong=1697 15 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=ZEC_7:12!9|MId=o380070120091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 שָׁלַ֜ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.sent|Ref=ZEC_7:12!10|MId=o380070120101|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:380070120111;A1:380070120082;|Type=qatal 17 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_7:12!11|MId=o380070120111|Strong=3068 18 צְבָאוֹת֙ צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=ZEC_7:12!12|MId=o380070120121|Strong=6635 19-21 בְּרוּח֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=ZEC_7:12!13|MId=o380070120131|Strong=0871a 20 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=ZEC_7:12!13|MId=o380070120132|Strong=7307 21 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ZEC_7:12!13|MId=o380070120133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 בְּיַ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=ZEC_7:12!14|MId=o380070120141|Strong=0871a 23 יַ֖ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=ZEC_7:12!14|MId=o380070120142|Strong=3027 24-25 הַנְּבִיאִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=ZEC_7:12!15|MId=o380070120151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 נְּבִיאִ֣ים נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.prophets|Ref=ZEC_7:12!15|MId=o380070120152|Strong=5030 26-27 הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ZEC_7:12!16|MId=o380070120161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 רִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 amod _ Gloss=former|Ref=ZEC_7:12!16|MId=o380070120162|Strong=7223|Type=adjective 28-29 וַֽיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_7:12!17|MId=o380070120171|Strong=2050b 29 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=ZEC_7:12!17|MId=o380070120172|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:380070120181;|Type=wayyiqtol 30 קֶ֣צֶף קֶצֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 nsubj _ Gloss=wrath|Ref=ZEC_7:12!18|MId=o380070120181|Strong=7110 31 גָּד֔וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=ZEC_7:12!19|MId=o380070120191|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 32-33 מֵאֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=ZEC_7:12!20|MId=o380070120201|Strong=4480 33 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ZEC_7:12!20|MId=o380070120202|Strong=0854 34 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 29 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_7:12!21|MId=o380070120211|Strong=3068 35 צְבָאֽוֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 34 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=ZEC_7:12!22|MId=o380070120221|Strong=6635|SpaceAfter=No 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=ZEC_7:12!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
