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 — you, LORD, Thou — and what happens in the verse to servant, David, house, Me, 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. לֵ֤ךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֙ אֶל־דָּוִ֣יד עַבְדִּ֔י כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א אַתָּ֛ה תִּבְנֶה־לִּ֥י הַבַּ֖יִת לָשָֽׁבֶת׃ ['Go and tell David My servant: Thus saith the LORD: Thou shalt not build Me a house to dwell in;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.669/) ## 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:615 # text = לֵ֤ךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ֙ אֶל־דָּוִ֣יד עַבְדִּ֔י כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה לֹ֥א אַתָּ֛ה תִּבְנֶה־לִּ֥י הַבַּ֖יִת לָשָֽׁבֶת׃ # verse = 1CH.17.4 1 לֵ֤ךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=go|Ref=1CH_17:4!1|MId=o130170040011|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:130170030081;|Type=imperative 2-3 וְאָמַרְתָּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_17:4!2|MId=o130170040021|Strong=2050b 3 אָמַרְתָּ֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=1CH_17:4!2|MId=o130170040022|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:130170030081;|Type=weqatal 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_17:4!3|MId=o130170040031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 דָּוִ֣יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=1CH_17:4!4|MId=o130170040041|Strong=1732 6-7 עַבְדִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=servant|Ref=1CH_17:4!5|MId=o130170040051|Strong=5650 7 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1CH_17:4!5|MId=o130170040052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 כֹּ֖ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=1CH_17:4!6|MId=o130170040061|Strong=3541 9 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=1CH_17:4!7|MId=o130170040071|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:130170040081;|Type=qatal 10 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1CH_17:4!8|MId=o130170040081|Strong=3068 11 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1CH_17:4!9|MId=o130170040091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 אַתָּ֛ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=1CH_17:4!10|MId=o130170040101|Strong=0859|Type=personal 13 תִּבְנֶה־ בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 9 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.build|Ref=1CH_17:4!11|MId=o130170040111|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:130170040101;A1:130170040132;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 לִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1CH_17:4!12|MId=o130170040121|Strong=3807a 15 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=1CH_17:4!12|MId=o130170040122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16-17 הַבַּ֖יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1CH_17:4!13|MId=o130170040131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 בַּ֖יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=house|Ref=1CH_17:4!13|MId=o130170040132|Strong=1004 18-19 לָשָֽׁבֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_17:4!14|MId=o130170040141|Strong=3807a 19 שָֽׁבֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 advcl _ Gloss=dwell.in|Ref=1CH_17:4!14|MId=o130170040142|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:130170040081;|Type=infinitive_construct 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=1CH_17:4!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לֵךְ *go* | imperative · qal | | | | | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | **not** תִּבְנֶה־ *you will build* | yiqtol · qal | אַתָּה *you* | בַּיִת *house* | | | | שָֽׁבֶת *dwell in* | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
