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 sisters, 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. וְאַחְיוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם צְרוּיָ֣ה וַאֲבִיגָ֑יִל וּבְנֵ֣י צְרוּיָ֗ה אַבְשַׁ֛י וְיוֹאָ֥ב וַעֲשָׂה־אֵ֖לעֲשָׂה־אֵ֖ל שְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃ [And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.82/) [And the sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.83/) ## 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.
