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: what happens in the verse to stronghold, 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. וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ מִן־בְּנֵ֤י בִנְיָמִן֙ וִֽיהוּדָ֔ה עַד־לַמְצָ֖ד לְדָוִֽיד׃ [And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold unto David.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.536/) ## 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:1CH:484 # text = וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ מִן־בְּנֵ֤י בִנְיָמִן֙ וִֽיהוּדָ֔ה עַד־לַמְצָ֖ד לְדָוִֽיד׃ # verse = 1CH.12.17 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_12:17!1|MId=o130120170011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֗אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=1CH_12:17!1|MId=o130120170012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:130120170031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=1CH_12:17!2|MId=o130120170021|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 4 בְּנֵ֤י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.descendants|Ref=1CH_12:17!3|MId=o130120170031|Strong=1121 5 בִנְיָמִן֙ בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Benjamin|Ref=1CH_12:17!4|MId=o130120170041|Strong=1144 6-7 וִֽיהוּדָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_12:17!5|MId=o130120170051|Strong=2050b 7 יהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=1CH_12:17!5|MId=o130120170052|Strong=3063 8 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_12:17!6|MId=o130120170061|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 9-11 לַמְצָ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_12:17!7|MId=o130120170071|Strong=3807a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1CH_12:17!7|MId=o130120170071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מְצָ֖ד מְצָד NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=stronghold|Ref=1CH_12:17!7|MId=o130120170072|Strong=4679 12-13 לְדָוִֽיד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_12:17!8|MId=o130120170081|Strong=3807a 13 דָוִֽיד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=1CH_12:17!8|MId=o130120170082|Strong=1732 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=1CH_12:17!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the descendants* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
