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 — LORD, thou — and what happens in the verse to discretion, thee, charge, law, 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. אַ֣ךְ יִֽתֶּן־לְּךָ֤ יְהוָה֙ שֵׂ֣כֶל וּבִינָ֔ה וִֽיצַוְּךָ֖ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלִשְׁמ֕וֹר אֶת־תּוֹרַ֖ת יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ [Only the LORD give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.796/) ## 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:724 # text = אַ֣ךְ יִֽתֶּן־לְּךָ֤ יְהוָה֙ שֵׂ֣כֶל וּבִינָ֔ה וִֽיצַוְּךָ֖ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלִשְׁמ֕וֹר אֶת־תּוֹרַ֖ת יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ # verse = 1CH.22.12 1 אַ֣ךְ אַךְ ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=1CH_22:12!1|MId=o130220120011|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation 2 יִֽתֶּן־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=may.he.give|Ref=1CH_22:12!2|MId=o130220120021|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:130220120041;A1:130220120051;130220120062;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 3-4 לְּךָ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_22:12!3|MId=o130220120031|Strong=3807a 4 ְךָ֤ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1CH_22:12!3|MId=o130220120032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1CH_22:12!4|MId=o130220120041|Strong=3068 6 שֵׂ֣כֶל שֵׂכֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=insight|Ref=1CH_22:12!5|MId=o130220120051|Strong=7922 7-8 וּבִינָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_22:12!6|MId=o130220120061|Strong=2050b 8 בִינָ֔ה בִּינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=understanding|Ref=1CH_22:12!6|MId=o130220120062|Strong=0998 9-11 וִֽיצַוְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_22:12!7|MId=o130220120071|Strong=2050b 10 יצַוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1CH_22:12!7|MId=o130220120072|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:130220120041;A1:130220120073;|Type=yiqtol 11 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.appoint.you|Ref=1CH_22:12!7|MId=o130220120073|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=1CH_22:12!8|MId=o130220120081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 13 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=1CH_22:12!9|MId=o130220120091|Strong=3478 14-16 וְלִשְׁמ֕וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_22:12!10|MId=o130220120101|Strong=2050b 15 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1CH_22:12!10|MId=o130220120102|Strong=3807a 16 שְׁמ֕וֹר שָׁמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 conj _ Gloss=keep|Ref=1CH_22:12!10|MId=o130220120103|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:130220110021;A1:130220120121;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1CH_22:12!11|MId=o130220120111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18 תּוֹרַ֖ת תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=the.law|Ref=1CH_22:12!12|MId=o130220120121|Strong=8451 19 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=1CH_22:12!13|MId=o130220120131|Strong=3068 20-21 אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֱלֹהֶֽי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=1CH_22:12!14|MId=o130220120141|Strong=0430 21 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1CH_22:12!14|MId=o130220120142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=1CH_22:12!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִֽתֶּן־ *may he give* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | שֵׂכֶל *insight* + בִינָה *understanding* | | | | יצַוּ *he* | yiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ְךָ *will appoint you* | | | | שְׁמוֹר *keep* | infinitive construct · qal | | תּוֹרַת *the law* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
