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 — we, days — and what happens in the verse to strangers, 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. כִּֽי־גֵרִ֨ים אֲנַ֧חְנוּ לְפָנֶ֛יךָ וְתוֹשָׁבִ֖ים כְּכָל־אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ כַּצֵּ֧ל ׀ יָמֵ֛ינוּ עַל־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְאֵ֥ין מִקְוֶֽה׃ [For we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.1012/) ## 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:927 # text = כִּֽי־גֵרִ֨ים אֲנַ֧חְנוּ לְפָנֶ֛יךָ וְתוֹשָׁבִ֖ים כְּכָל־אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ כַּצֵּ֧ל ׀ יָמֵ֛ינוּ עַל־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְאֵ֥ין מִקְוֶֽה׃ # verse = 1CH.29.15 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1CH_29:15!1|MId=o130290150011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 גֵרִ֨ים גֵּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].sojourners|Ref=1CH_29:15!2|MId=o130290150021|Strong=1616 3 אֲנַ֧חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=1CH_29:15!3|MId=o130290150031|Strong=0587|Type=personal 4-6 לְפָנֶ֛יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1CH_29:15!4|MId=o130290150041|Strong=3807a 5 פָנֶ֛י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1CH_29:15!4|MId=o130290150042|Strong=6440 6 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=1CH_29:15!4|MId=o130290150043|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְתוֹשָׁבִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_29:15!5|MId=o130290150051|Strong=2050b 8 תוֹשָׁבִ֖ים תּוֹשָׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=resident.aliens|Ref=1CH_29:15!5|MId=o130290150052|Strong=8453 9-10 כְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=1CH_29:15!6|MId=o130290150061|Strong=3509a 10 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=1CH_29:15!6|MId=o130290150062|Strong=3605 11-12 אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֲבֹתֵ֑י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ancestors|Ref=1CH_29:15!7|MId=o130290150071|Strong=0001 12 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=1CH_29:15!7|MId=o130290150072|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13-15 כַּצֵּ֧ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=[are].like|Ref=1CH_29:15!8|MId=o130290150081|Strong=3509a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1CH_29:15!8|MId=o130290150081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 צֵּ֧ל צֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=shadow|Ref=1CH_29:15!8|MId=o130290150082|Strong=6738 16 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=1CH_29:15!8 17-18 יָמֵ֛ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 יָמֵ֛י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=days|Ref=1CH_29:15!9|MId=o130290150091|Strong=3117 18 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=1CH_29:15!9|MId=o130290150092|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=1CH_29:15!10|MId=o130290150101|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1CH_29:15!11|MId=o130290150111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 nmod _ Gloss=earth|Ref=1CH_29:15!11|MId=o130290150112|Strong=0776 22-23 וְאֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_29:15!12|MId=o130290150121|Strong=2050b 23 אֵ֥ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=1CH_29:15!12|MId=o130290150122|Strong=0369|Type=negative 24 מִקְוֶֽה מִקְוֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=hope|Ref=1CH_29:15!13|MId=o130290150131|Strong=4723|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=1CH_29:15!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes MACULA marks no verb frame in this verse. ## English, JPS 1917 {#english} Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics.
