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 — ye, I, hands — and what happens in the verse to peace, curse, you, blessing, hands, 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. וְהָיָ֡ה כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ הֱיִיתֶ֨ם קְלָלָ֜ה בַּגּוֹיִ֗ם בֵּ֤ית יְהוּדָה֙ וּבֵ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כֵּ֚ן אוֹשִׁ֣יעַ אֶתְכֶ֔ם וִהְיִיתֶ֖ם בְּרָכָ֑ה אַל־תִּירָ֖אוּ תֶּחֱזַ֥קְנָה יְדֵיכֶֽם׃ס [And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing; fear not, but let your hands be strong.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.113/) ## 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:110 # text = וְהָיָ֡ה כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ הֱיִיתֶ֨ם קְלָלָ֜ה בַּגּוֹיִ֗ם בֵּ֤ית יְהוּדָה֙ וּבֵ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כֵּ֚ן אוֹשִׁ֣יעַ אֶתְכֶ֔ם וִהְיִיתֶ֖ם בְּרָכָ֑ה אַל־תִּירָ֖אוּ תֶּחֱזַ֥קְנָה יְדֵיכֶֽם׃ס # verse = ZEC.8.13 1-2 וְהָיָ֡ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_8:13!1|MId=o380080130011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֡ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=ZEC_8:13!1|MId=o380080130012|Strong=1961|Type=qatal 3-4 כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=just|Ref=ZEC_8:13!2|MId=o380080130021|Strong=3509a 4 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=ZEC_8:13!2|MId=o380080130022|Strong=0834|Type=relative 5 הֱיִיתֶ֨ם הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 6 cop _ Gloss=you.were|Ref=ZEC_8:13!3|MId=o380080130031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:380080130061;380080130082;|Type=qatal 6 קְלָלָ֜ה קְלָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=a.curse|Ref=ZEC_8:13!4|MId=o380080130041|Strong=7045 7-9 בַּגּוֹיִ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=ZEC_8:13!5|MId=o380080130051|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_8:13!5|MId=o380080130051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 גּוֹיִ֗ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=nations|Ref=ZEC_8:13!5|MId=o380080130052|Strong=1471 10 בֵּ֤ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=O.house|Ref=ZEC_8:13!6|MId=o380080130061|Strong=1004 11 יְהוּדָה֙ יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=ZEC_8:13!7|MId=o380080130071|Strong=3063 12-13 וּבֵ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_8:13!8|MId=o380080130081|Strong=2050b 13 בֵ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=ZEC_8:13!8|MId=o380080130082|Strong=1004 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=ZEC_8:13!9|MId=o380080130091|Strong=3478 15 כֵּ֚ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=so|Ref=ZEC_8:13!10|MId=o380080130101|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 16 אוֹשִׁ֣יעַ יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.save|Ref=ZEC_8:13!11|MId=o380080130111|Strong=3467|Frame=AA:380080110101;A0:380080130122;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 אֶתְכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=|Ref=ZEC_8:13!12|MId=o380080130121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 ְכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=ZEC_8:13!12|MId=o380080130122|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 19-20 וִהְיִיתֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_8:13!13|MId=o380080130131|Strong=2050b 20 הְיִיתֶ֖ם הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 21 cop _ Gloss=you.will.be|Ref=ZEC_8:13!13|MId=o380080130132|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:380080130061;380080130082;|Type=qatal 21 בְּרָכָ֑ה בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=a.blessing|Ref=ZEC_8:13!14|MId=o380080130141|Strong=1293 22 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=ZEC_8:13!15|MId=o380080130151|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 23 תִּירָ֖אוּ יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=be.afraid|Ref=ZEC_8:13!16|MId=o380080130161|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:380080130061;380080130082;|Type=jussive 24 תֶּחֱזַ֥קְנָה חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=let.them.be.strong|Ref=ZEC_8:13!17|MId=o380080130171|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:380080130181;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 יְדֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 יְדֵי יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 24 nsubj _ Gloss=hands|Ref=ZEC_8:13!18|MId=o380080130181|Strong=3027 26 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ZEC_8:13!18|MId=o380080130182|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ZEC_8:13!18|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ZEC_8:13!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֱיִיתֶם *you were* | qatal · qal | בֵּית *O house* + בֵית *the house* | | | | | אוֹשִׁיעַ *I will save* | yiqtol · hiphil | ְכֶם *you* | | | | | הְיִיתֶם *you will be* | qatal · qal | בֵּית *O house* + בֵית *the house* | | | | | **not** תִּירָאוּ *be afraid* | jussive · qal | בֵּית *O house* + בֵית *the house* | | | | | תֶּחֱזַקְנָה *let them be strong* | yiqtol · qal | יְדֵי *hands* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
