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, hosts — and what happens in the verse to hosts, sling stones, noise, 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. יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֮ יָגֵ֣ן עֲלֵיהֶם֒ וְאָכְל֗וּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ אַבְנֵי־קֶ֔לַע וְשָׁת֥וּ הָמ֖וּ כְּמוֹ־יָ֑יִן וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק כְּזָוִיּ֖וֹת מִזְבֵּֽחַ׃ [The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.139/) ## 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:135 # text = יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֮ יָגֵ֣ן עֲלֵיהֶם֒ וְאָכְל֗וּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ אַבְנֵי־קֶ֔לַע וְשָׁת֥וּ הָמ֖וּ כְּמוֹ־יָ֑יִן וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק כְּזָוִיּ֖וֹת מִזְבֵּֽחַ׃ # verse = ZEC.9.15 1 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_9:15!1|MId=o380090150011|Strong=3068 2 צְבָאוֹת֮ צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=ZEC_9:15!2|MId=o380090150021|Strong=6635 3 יָגֵ֣ן גָּנַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.defend|Ref=ZEC_9:15!3|MId=o380090150031|Strong=1598|Frame=A0:380090150011;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 עֲלֵיהֶם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(on)|Ref=ZEC_9:15!4|MId=o380090150041|Strong=5921 5 הֶם֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=ZEC_9:15!4|MId=o380090150042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6-7 וְאָכְל֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_9:15!5|MId=o380090150051|Strong=2050b 7 אָכְל֗וּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.eat|Ref=ZEC_9:15!5|MId=o380090150052|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:380090130101;|Type=qatal 8-9 וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_9:15!6|MId=o380090150061|Strong=2050b 9 כָֽבְשׁוּ֙ כָּבַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.subdue|Ref=ZEC_9:15!6|MId=o380090150062|Strong=3533|Frame=A0:380090130101;|Type=qatal 10 אַבְנֵי־ אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=stones|Ref=ZEC_9:15!7|MId=o380090150071|Strong=0068|SpaceAfter=No 11 קֶ֔לַע קֶלַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.sling|Ref=ZEC_9:15!8|MId=o380090150081|Strong=7050 12-13 וְשָׁת֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_9:15!9|MId=o380090150091|Strong=2050b 13 שָׁת֥וּ שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.drink|Ref=ZEC_9:15!9|MId=o380090150092|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:380090130101;|Type=qatal 14 הָמ֖וּ הָמָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 13 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.be.in.an.uproar|Ref=ZEC_9:15!10|MId=o380090150101|Strong=1993|Frame=A0:380090130101;|Type=qatal 15 כְּמוֹ־ כְּמוֹ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ZEC_9:15!11|MId=o380090150111|Strong=3644|SpaceAfter=No 16 יָ֑יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=wine|Ref=ZEC_9:15!12|MId=o380090150121|Strong=3196 17-18 וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_9:15!13|MId=o380090150131|Strong=2050b 18 מָֽלְאוּ֙ מָלֵא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be.full|Ref=ZEC_9:15!13|MId=o380090150132|Strong=4390|Frame=A0:380090130101;|Type=qatal 19-21 כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=ZEC_9:15!14|MId=o380090150141|Strong=3509a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ZEC_9:15!14|MId=o380090150141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מִּזְרָ֔ק מִזְרָק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=bowl|Ref=ZEC_9:15!14|MId=o380090150142|Strong=4219 22-23 כְּזָוִיּ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=ZEC_9:15!15|MId=o380090150151|Strong=3509a 23 זָוִיּ֖וֹת זָוִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=corners|Ref=ZEC_9:15!15|MId=o380090150152|Strong=2106 24 מִזְבֵּֽחַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].altar|Ref=ZEC_9:15!16|MId=o380090150161|Strong=4196|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=ZEC_9:15!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָגֵן *he will defend* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | אָכְלוּ *they will eat* | qatal · qal | | | | | | כָֽבְשׁוּ *they will subdue* | qatal · qal | | | | | | שָׁתוּ *they will drink* | qatal · qal | | | | | | הָמוּ *they will be in an uproar* | qatal · qal | | | | | | מָֽלְאוּ *they will be full* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
