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, I — and what happens in the verse to three things, thee, one, thing, 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. לֵךְ֩ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֨ אֶל־דָּוִ֜יד לֵאמֹ֗ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שָׁל֕וֹשׁ אֲנִ֖י נֹטֶ֣ה עָלֶ֑יךָ בְּחַר־לְךָ֛ אַחַ֥ת מֵהֵ֖נָּה וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃ ['Go and speak unto David, saying: Thus saith the LORD: I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.761/) ## 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:692 # text = לֵךְ֩ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֨ אֶל־דָּוִ֜יד לֵאמֹ֗ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שָׁל֕וֹשׁ אֲנִ֖י נֹטֶ֣ה עָלֶ֑יךָ בְּחַר־לְךָ֛ אַחַ֥ת מֵהֵ֖נָּה וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃ # verse = 1CH.21.10 1 לֵךְ֩ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=go|Ref=1CH_21:10!1|MId=o130210100011|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:130210090041;|Type=imperative 2-3 וְדִבַּרְתָּ֨ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_21:10!2|MId=o130210100021|Strong=2050b 3 דִבַּרְתָּ֨ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=you.will.speak|Ref=1CH_21:10!2|MId=o130210100022|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:130210090041;|Type=weqatal 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_21:10!3|MId=o130210100031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 דָּוִ֜יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=1CH_21:10!4|MId=o130210100041|Strong=1732 6-7 לֵאמֹ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 9 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=1CH_21:10!5|MId=o130210100051|Strong=3807a 7 אמֹ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=1CH_21:10!5|MId=o130210100052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:130210090041;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 כֹּ֚ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=1CH_21:10!6|MId=o130210100061|Strong=3541 9 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=1CH_21:10!7|MId=o130210100071|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:130210100081;|Type=qatal 10 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1CH_21:10!8|MId=o130210100081|Strong=3068 11 שָׁל֕וֹשׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=three.[things]|Ref=1CH_21:10!9|MId=o130210100091|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 12 אֲנִ֖י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=1CH_21:10!10|MId=o130210100101|Strong=0589|Type=personal 13 נֹטֶ֣ה נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 9 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].holding.out|Ref=1CH_21:10!11|MId=o130210100111|Strong=5186|Frame=A1:130210100091;A0:130210100101;|Type=participle_active 14-15 עָלֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 עָלֶ֑י עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=1CH_21:10!12|MId=o130210100121|Strong=5921 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1CH_21:10!12|MId=o130210100122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 בְּחַר־ בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 13 parataxis _ Gloss=choose|Ref=1CH_21:10!13|MId=o130210100131|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:130210100041;A1:130210100151;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 לְךָ֛ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ל לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1CH_21:10!14|MId=o130210100141|Strong=3807a 18 ְךָ֛ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=1CH_21:10!14|MId=o130210100142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 אַחַ֥ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=one|Ref=1CH_21:10!15|MId=o130210100151|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 20-21 מֵהֵ֖נָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=1CH_21:10!16|MId=o130210100161|Strong=4480 21 הֵ֖נָּה הֵנָּה PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=1CH_21:10!16|MId=o130210100162|Strong=2004|Type=personal 22-23 וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_21:10!17|MId=o130210100171|Strong=2050b 23 אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 13 conj _ Gloss=I.will.do.[it]|Ref=1CH_21:10!17|MId=o130210100172|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:130210100081;A1:130210100151;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 לָּֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_21:10!18|MId=o130210100181|Strong=3807a 25 ָֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1CH_21:10!18|MId=o130210100182|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1CH_21:10!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#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) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לֵךְ *go* | imperative · qal | | | | | | דִבַּרְתָּ *you will speak* | weqatal · piel | | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | נֹטֶה *\[am\] holding out* | participle active · qal | אֲנִי *I* | שָׁלוֹשׁ *three \[things\]* | | | | בְּחַר־ *choose* | imperative · qal | דָּוִיד *David* | אַחַת *one* | | | | אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ *I will do \[it\]* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | אַחַת *one* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
