Isaiah 8:4 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ

Who acts: child · What happens: have, cry, carry away, spoil · To what, where: knowledge, father, riches, Samaria

This is Isaiah 8:4 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — child — and what happens in the verse to knowledge, father, riches, Samaria, 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

כִּ֗י בְּטֶ֙רֶם֙ יֵדַ֣ע הַנַּ֔עַר קְרֹ֖א אָבִ֣י וְאִמִּ֑י יִשָּׂ֣א ׀ אֶת־חֵ֣יל דַּמֶּ֗שֶׂק וְאֵת֙ שְׁלַ֣ל שֹׁמְר֔וֹן לִפְנֵ֖י מֶ֥לֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃ס

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'

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

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
יֵדַע he will know	yiqtol · qal	נַּעַר lad	קְרֹא to call out
קְרֹא to call out	infinitive construct · qal	נַּעַר lad	אָב my father + אִמּ O
יִשָּׂא someone will carry off	yiqtol · qal		חֵיל the wealth + שְׁלַל the plunder

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.

Targum Jonathan

אֲרֵי עַד לָא יְדַע עוּלֵימָא מִקְרֵי אַבָּא וְאִמָא יִשְׁבֵי יַת נִכְסֵי דַמֶשֶׂק וְיַת עֲדָאֵי שֹׁמְרוֹן קֳדָם מַלְכָּא דְאַתּוּר:
