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, Mighty One — and what happens in the verse to midst, thee, love, 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 3 chapters of Zephaniah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהַ֛יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּ֖ךגִּבּ֣וֹר יוֹשִׁ֑יעַ יָשִׂ֨ישׂ עָלַ֜יִךְ בְּשִׂמְחָ֗ה יַחֲרִישׁ֙ בְּאַ֣הֲבָת֔וֹ יָגִ֥יל עָלַ֖יִךְ בְּרִנָּֽה׃ [The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will be silent in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEP.51/) ## 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:ZEP:49 # text = יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהַ֛יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּ֖ךגִּבּ֣וֹר יוֹשִׁ֑יעַ יָשִׂ֨ישׂ עָלַ֜יִךְ בְּשִׂמְחָ֗ה יַחֲרִישׁ֙ בְּאַ֣הֲבָת֔וֹ יָגִ֥יל עָלַ֖יִךְ בְּרִנָּֽה׃ # verse = ZEP.3.17 1 יְהוָ֧ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEP_3:17!1|MId=o360030170011|Strong=3068 2-3 אֱלֹהַ֛יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֱלֹהַ֛י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=ZEP_3:17!2|MId=o360030170021|Strong=0430 3 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ZEP_3:17!2|MId=o360030170022|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 4-7 בְּקִרְבֵּ֖ךגִּבּ֣וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=ZEP_3:17!3|MId=o360030170031|Strong=0871a 5 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=midst|Ref=ZEP_3:17!3|MId=o360030170032|Strong=7130 6 ֵ֖ך הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=ZEP_3:17!3|MId=o360030170033|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 7 גִּבּ֣וֹר גִּבּוֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=a.warrior|Ref=ZEP_3:17!4|MId=o360030170041|Strong=1368|Type=adjective 8 יוֹשִׁ֑יעַ יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 acl _ Gloss=[who].he.will.give.victory|Ref=ZEP_3:17!5|MId=o360030170051|Strong=3467|Frame=A0:360030170041;|Type=yiqtol 9 יָשִׂ֨ישׂ שׂוּשׂ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.rejoice|Ref=ZEP_3:17!6|MId=o360030170061|Strong=7797|Frame=A0:360030170011;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 עָלַ֜יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עָלַ֜י עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ZEP_3:17!7|MId=o360030170071|Strong=5921 11 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ZEP_3:17!7|MId=o360030170072|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 12-13 בְּשִׂמְחָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ZEP_3:17!8|MId=o360030170081|Strong=0871a 13 שִׂמְחָ֗ה שִׂמְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=joy|Ref=ZEP_3:17!8|MId=o360030170082|Strong=8057 14 יַחֲרִישׁ֙ חָרֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.be.silent|Ref=ZEP_3:17!9|MId=o360030170091|Strong=2790a|Frame=A0:360030170011;|Type=yiqtol 15-17 בְּאַ֣הֲבָת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEP_3:17!10|MId=o360030170101|Strong=0871a 16 אַ֣הֲבָת אַהֲבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=love|Ref=ZEP_3:17!10|MId=o360030170102|Strong=0160 17 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ZEP_3:17!10|MId=o360030170103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 יָגִ֥יל גִּיל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.be.glad|Ref=ZEP_3:17!11|MId=o360030170111|Strong=1523|Frame=A0:360030170011;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 עָלַ֖יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 עָלַ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ZEP_3:17!12|MId=o360030170121|Strong=5921 20 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ZEP_3:17!12|MId=o360030170122|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 21-22 בְּרִנָּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ZEP_3:17!13|MId=o360030170131|Strong=0871a 22 רִנָּֽה רִנָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=a.shout.of.joy|Ref=ZEP_3:17!13|MId=o360030170132|Strong=7440 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ZEP_3:17!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יוֹשִׁיעַ *\[who\] he will give victory* | yiqtol · hiphil | גִּבּוֹר *a warrior* | | | | | יָשִׂישׂ *he will rejoice* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יַחֲרִישׁ *he will be silent* | yiqtol · hiphil | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יָגִיל *he will be glad* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
