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 — David, Joab — and what happens in the verse to Jebusites, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 29 chapters of 1 Chronicles on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד כָּל־מַכֵּ֤ה יְבוּסִי֙ בָּרִ֣אשׁוֹנָ֔ה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְרֹ֖אשׁ וּלְשָׂ֑ר וַיַּ֧עַל בָּרִאשׁוֹנָ֛ה יוֹאָ֥ב בֶּן־צְרוּיָ֖ה וַיְהִ֥י לְרֹֽאשׁ׃ [And David said: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:1CH:426 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד כָּל־מַכֵּ֤ה יְבוּסִי֙ בָּרִ֣אשׁוֹנָ֔ה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְרֹ֖אשׁ וּלְשָׂ֑ר וַיַּ֧עַל בָּרִאשׁוֹנָ֛ה יוֹאָ֥ב בֶּן־צְרוּיָ֖ה וַיְהִ֥י לְרֹֽאשׁ׃ # verse = 1CH.11.6 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_11:6!1|MId=o130110060011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.had.said|Ref=1CH_11:6!1|MId=o130110060012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:130110060021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דָּוִ֔יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=1CH_11:6!2|MId=o130110060021|Strong=1732 4 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=any|Ref=1CH_11:6!3|MId=o130110060031|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 5 מַכֵּ֤ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[one.who].attacks|Ref=1CH_11:6!4|MId=o130110060041|Strong=5221|Frame=A1:130110060051;|Type=participle_active 6 יְבוּסִי֙ יְבוּסִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).a.Jebusite|Ref=1CH_11:6!5|MId=o130110060051|Strong=2983|Type=gentilic 7-9 בָּרִ֣אשׁוֹנָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=1CH_11:6!6|MId=o130110060061|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1CH_11:6!6|MId=o130110060061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 רִ֣אשׁוֹנָ֔ה רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nmod _ Gloss=first|Ref=1CH_11:6!6|MId=o130110060062|Strong=7223|Type=adjective 10 יִהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 cop _ Gloss=he.will.become|Ref=1CH_11:6!7|MId=o130110060071|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:130110060041;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 לְרֹ֖אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=1CH_11:6!8|MId=o130110060081|Strong=3807a 12 רֹ֖אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=chief|Ref=1CH_11:6!8|MId=o130110060082|Strong=7218 13-15 וּלְשָׂ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and.(into)|Ref=1CH_11:6!9|MId=o130110060091|Strong=2050b 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=a|Ref=1CH_11:6!9|MId=o130110060092|Strong=3807a 15 שָׂ֑ר שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=commander|Ref=1CH_11:6!9|MId=o130110060093|Strong=8269 16-17 וַיַּ֧עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_11:6!10|MId=o130110060101|Strong=2050b 17 יַּ֧עַל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.up|Ref=1CH_11:6!10|MId=o130110060102|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:130110060121;|Type=wayyiqtol 18-20 בָּרִאשׁוֹנָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=1CH_11:6!11|MId=o130110060111|Strong=0871a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1CH_11:6!11|MId=o130110060111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 רִאשׁוֹנָ֛ה רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=first|Ref=1CH_11:6!11|MId=o130110060112|Strong=7223|Type=adjective 21 יוֹאָ֥ב יוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Joab|Ref=1CH_11:6!12|MId=o130110060121|Strong=3097 22 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=1CH_11:6!13|MId=o130110060131|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 23 צְרוּיָ֖ה צְרוּיָה PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zeruiah|Ref=1CH_11:6!14|MId=o130110060141|Strong=6870 24-25 וַיְהִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_11:6!15|MId=o130110060151|Strong=2050b 25 יְהִ֥י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.became|Ref=1CH_11:6!15|MId=o130110060152|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:130110060121;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 לְרֹֽאשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=1CH_11:6!16|MId=o130110060161|Strong=3807a 27 רֹֽאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=chief|Ref=1CH_11:6!16|MId=o130110060162|Strong=7218 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=1CH_11:6!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he had said* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִיד *David* | | | | | מַכֵּה *\[one who\] attacks* | participle active · hiphil | | יְבוּסִי *(of) a Jebusite* | | | | יִהְיֶה *he will become* | yiqtol · qal | מַכֵּה *\[one who\] attacks* | | | | | יַּעַל *he went up* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | | יְהִי *he became* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
