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, God, right, unrighteous — and what happens in the verse to midst, unrighteousness, right, light, shame, 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. יְהוָ֤ה צַדִּיק֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה עַוְלָ֑ה בַּבֹּ֨קֶר בַּבֹּ֜קֶר מִשְׁפָּט֨וֹ יִתֵּ֤ן לָאוֹר֙ לֹ֣א נֶעְדָּ֔ר וְלֹֽא־יוֹדֵ֥עַ עַוָּ֖ל בֹּֽשֶׁת׃ [The LORD who is righteous is in the midst of her, He will not do unrighteousness; every morning doth He bring His right to light, it faileth not; but the unrighteous knoweth no shame.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEP.39/) ## 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:37 # text = יְהוָ֤ה צַדִּיק֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה עַוְלָ֑ה בַּבֹּ֨קֶר בַּבֹּ֜קֶר מִשְׁפָּט֨וֹ יִתֵּ֤ן לָאוֹר֙ לֹ֣א נֶעְדָּ֔ר וְלֹֽא־יוֹדֵ֥עַ עַוָּ֖ל בֹּֽשֶׁת׃ # verse = ZEP.3.5 1 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=ZEP_3:5!1|MId=o360030050011|Strong=3068 2 צַדִּיק֙ צַדִּיק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].righteous|Ref=ZEP_3:5!2|MId=o360030050021|Strong=6662|Type=adjective 3-5 בְּקִרְבָּ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEP_3:5!3|MId=o360030050031|Strong=0871a 4 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=midst|Ref=ZEP_3:5!3|MId=o360030050032|Strong=7130 5 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=ZEP_3:5!3|MId=o360030050033|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 6 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ZEP_3:5!4|MId=o360030050041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.does|Ref=ZEP_3:5!5|MId=o360030050051|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:360030050011;A1:360030050061;|Type=yiqtol 8 עַוְלָ֑ה עַוְלָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=injustice|Ref=ZEP_3:5!6|MId=o360030050061|Strong=5766a 9-11 בַּבֹּ֨קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEP_3:5!7|MId=o360030050071|Strong=0871a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEP_3:5!7|MId=o360030050071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 בֹּ֨קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=morning|Ref=ZEP_3:5!7|MId=o360030050072|Strong=1242 12-14 בַּבֹּ֜קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEP_3:5!8|MId=o360030050081|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEP_3:5!8|MId=o360030050081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 בֹּ֜קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=morning|Ref=ZEP_3:5!8|MId=o360030050082|Strong=1242 15-16 מִשְׁפָּט֨וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מִשְׁפָּט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=judgment|Ref=ZEP_3:5!9|MId=o360030050091|Strong=4941 16 ֨וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ZEP_3:5!9|MId=o360030050092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 יִתֵּ֤ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.gives|Ref=ZEP_3:5!10|MId=o360030050101|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:360030050011;A1:360030050091;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 לָאוֹר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEP_3:5!11|MId=o360030050111|Strong=3807a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEP_3:5!11|MId=o360030050111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אוֹר֙ אוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=light|Ref=ZEP_3:5!11|MId=o360030050112|Strong=0216 21 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ZEP_3:5!12|MId=o360030050121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 נֶעְדָּ֔ר עָדַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.is.missing|Ref=ZEP_3:5!13|MId=o360030050131|Strong=5737a|Frame=A0:360030050011;|Type=qatal 23-24 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEP_3:5!14|MId=o360030050141|Strong=2050b 24 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ZEP_3:5!14|MId=o360030050142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25 יוֹדֵ֥עַ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[is].knowing|Ref=ZEP_3:5!15|MId=o360030050151|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:360030050161;A1:360030050171;|Type=participle_active 26 עַוָּ֖ל עַוָּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=an.unjust.person|Ref=ZEP_3:5!16|MId=o360030050161|Strong=5767 27 בֹּֽשֶׁת בֹּשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=shame|Ref=ZEP_3:5!17|MId=o360030050171|Strong=1322|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=ZEP_3:5!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יַעֲשֶׂה *he does* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | עַוְלָה *injustice* | | | | יִתֵּן *he gives* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מִשְׁפָּט *judgment* | | | | **not** נֶעְדָּר *he is missing* | qatal · niphal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | **not** יוֹדֵעַ *\[is\] knowing* | participle active · qal | עַוָּל *an unjust person* | בֹּֽשֶׁת *shame* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
