# 1 Chronicles 21:22 דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים א

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** David, I, thou · **What happens:** say, give, build, stay · **To what, where:** Ornan, place, me, altar, full price, plague · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is 1 Chronicles 21:22 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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, thou — and what happens in the verse to Ornan, place, me, altar, full price, plague, 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.

[Then David said to Ornan: 'Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the LORD; for the full price shalt thou give it me; that the plague may be stayed from the people.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.776/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
