Job 16:4 אִיּוֹב

Who acts: I, soul · What happens: speak, be, join, shake · To what, where: stead, words, head · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Job 16:4 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — I, soul — and what happens in the verse to stead, words, head, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum 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 42 chapters of Job on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

גַּ֤ם ׀ אָנֹכִי֮ כָּכֶ֪ם אֲדַ֫בֵּ֥רָה ל֤וּ־יֵ֪שׁ נַפְשְׁכֶ֡ם תַּ֤חַת נַפְשִׁ֗י אַחְבִּ֣ירָה עֲלֵיכֶ֣ם בְּמִלִּ֑ים וְאָנִ֥יעָה עֲ֝לֵיכֶ֗ם בְּמ֣וֹ רֹאשִֽׁי׃

I also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.

The 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.

Pragmatics

form: statement
act: request
voice: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · assert · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)
אֲדַבֵּרָה I will speak	cohortative · piel	אָנֹכִי I
אַחְבִּירָה I will make join	cohortative · hiphil
אָנִיעָה I will shake	cohortative · hiphil

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

The Targum

לְחוֹד אֲנָא כְּוַתְכוֹן אֲמַלֵיל לְוַי דְאִית נַפְשְׁכוֹן חִלוּפֵי נַפְשִׁי אֲחַבֵּר עֲלֵיכוֹן בְּמִלַיָא וַאֲטַלְטֵל עֲלֵיכוֹן בְּמוֹ רֵישִׁי:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

I also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.
