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, I — and what happens in the verse to Joab, Israel, Dan, Beersheba, word, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֤יד אֶל־יוֹאָב֙ וְאֶל־שָׂרֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם לְכ֗וּ סִפְרוּ֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִבְּאֵ֥ר שֶׁ֖בַע בְּאֵ֥ר שֶׁ֖בַע וְעַד־דָּ֑ן וְהָבִ֣יאוּ אֵלַ֔י וְאֵדְעָ֖ה אֶת־מִסְפָּרָֽם׃ [And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people: 'Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.751/) ## 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:684 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֤יד אֶל־יוֹאָב֙ וְאֶל־שָׂרֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם לְכ֗וּ סִפְרוּ֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִבְּאֵ֥ר שֶׁ֖בַע בְּאֵ֥ר שֶׁ֖בַע וְעַד־דָּ֑ן וְהָבִ֣יאוּ אֵלַ֔י וְאֵדְעָ֖ה אֶת־מִסְפָּרָֽם׃ # verse = 1CH.21.2 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_21:2!1|MId=o130210020011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1CH_21:2!1|MId=o130210020012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:130210020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דָּוִ֤יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=1CH_21:2!2|MId=o130210020021|Strong=1732 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_21:2!3|MId=o130210020031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יוֹאָב֙ יוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joab|Ref=1CH_21:2!4|MId=o130210020041|Strong=3097 6-7 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_21:2!5|MId=o130210020051|Strong=2050b 7 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_21:2!5|MId=o130210020052|Strong=0413 8 שָׂרֵ֣י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 conj _ Gloss=the.leaders|Ref=1CH_21:2!6|MId=o130210020061|Strong=8269 9-10 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1CH_21:2!7|MId=o130210020071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=1CH_21:2!7|MId=o130210020072|Strong=5971 11 לְכ֗וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=1CH_21:2!8|MId=o130210020081|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:130210020041;130210020061;|Type=imperative 12 סִפְרוּ֙ סָפַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 11 parataxis _ Gloss=count|Ref=1CH_21:2!9|MId=o130210020091|Strong=5608|Frame=A0:130210020041;130210020061;A1:130210020111;|Type=imperative 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1CH_21:2!10|MId=o130210020101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 obj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=1CH_21:2!11|MId=o130210020111|Strong=3478 15-16 מִבְּאֵ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1CH_21:2!12|MId=o130210020121|Strong=4480 16 בְּאֵ֥ר בְּאֵר PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Beer|Ref=1CH_21:2!12|MId=o130210020122 17 שֶׁ֖בַע _ PROPN _ _ 16 flat:name _ Ref=1CH_21:2!12 18 בְּאֵ֥ר שֶׁבַע NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 nmod _ Gloss=Sheba|Ref=1CH_21:2!13|MId=o130210020131|Type=cardinal_number 19 שֶׁ֖בַע _ NOUN _ _ 18 flat _ Ref=1CH_21:2!13 20-21 וְעַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_21:2!14|MId=o130210020141|Strong=2050b 21 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_21:2!14|MId=o130210020142|Strong=5704 22 דָּ֑ן דָּן PROPN _ _ 16 conj _ Gloss=Dan|Ref=1CH_21:2!15|MId=o130210020151|Strong=1835 23-24 וְהָבִ֣יאוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_21:2!16|MId=o130210020161|Strong=2050b 24 הָבִ֣יאוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 11 conj _ Gloss=bring.[it]|Ref=1CH_21:2!16|MId=o130210020162|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:130210020041;130210020061;|Type=imperative 25-26 אֵלַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_21:2!17|MId=o130210020171|Strong=0413 26 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=1CH_21:2!17|MId=o130210020172|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 27-28 וְאֵדְעָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=1CH_21:2!18|MId=o130210020181|Strong=2050b 28 אֵדְעָ֖ה יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.know|Ref=1CH_21:2!18|MId=o130210020182|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:130210020021;A1:130210020191;|Type=cohortative 29 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1CH_21:2!19|MId=o130210020191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 30-31 מִסְפָּרָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 מִסְפָּר מִסְפָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=number|Ref=1CH_21:2!20|MId=o130210020201|Strong=4557 31 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=1CH_21:2!20|MId=o130210020202|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=1CH_21:2!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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 said* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִיד *David* | | | | | לְכוּ *go* | imperative · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* + שָׂרֵי *the leaders* | | | | | סִפְרוּ *count* | imperative · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* + שָׂרֵי *the leaders* | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | הָבִיאוּ *bring \[it\]* | imperative · hiphil | יוֹאָב *Joab* + שָׂרֵי *the leaders* | | | | | אֵדְעָה *that I may know* | cohortative · qal | דָּוִיד *David* | אֶת־ *(et)* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
