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 — house — and what happens in the verse to fine linen, 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. בְּנֵי֙ שֵׁלָ֣ה בֶן־יְהוּדָ֔ה עֵ֚ר אֲבִ֣י לֵכָ֔ה וְלַעְדָּ֖ה אֲבִ֣י מָרֵשָׁ֑ה וּמִשְׁפְּח֛וֹת בֵּית־עֲבֹדַ֥ת הַבֻּ֖ץ לְבֵ֥ית אַשְׁבֵּֽעַ׃ [The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, and Ladah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.182/) ## 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:153 # text = בְּנֵי֙ שֵׁלָ֣ה בֶן־יְהוּדָ֔ה עֵ֚ר אֲבִ֣י לֵכָ֔ה וְלַעְדָּ֖ה אֲבִ֣י מָרֵשָׁ֑ה וּמִשְׁפְּח֛וֹת בֵּית־עֲבֹדַ֥ת הַבֻּ֖ץ לְבֵ֥ית אַשְׁבֵּֽעַ׃ # verse = 1CH.4.21 1 בְּנֵי֙ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=1CH_4:21!1|MId=o130040210011|Strong=1121 2 שֵׁלָ֣ה שֵׁלָה PROPN _ _ 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Shelah|Ref=1CH_4:21!2|MId=o130040210021|Strong=7956 3 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=1CH_4:21!3|MId=o130040210031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=1CH_4:21!4|MId=o130040210041|Strong=3063 5 עֵ֚ר עֵר PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=[were].Er|Ref=1CH_4:21!5|MId=o130040210051|Strong=6147 6 אֲבִ֣י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=the.father|Ref=1CH_4:21!6|MId=o130040210061|Strong=0001 7 לֵכָ֔ה לֵכָה PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Lecah|Ref=1CH_4:21!7|MId=o130040210071|Strong=3922 8-9 וְלַעְדָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_4:21!8|MId=o130040210081|Strong=2050b 9 לַעְדָּ֖ה לַעְדָּה PROPN _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=Laadah|Ref=1CH_4:21!8|MId=o130040210082|Strong=3935 10 אֲבִ֣י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=the.father|Ref=1CH_4:21!9|MId=o130040210091|Strong=0001 11 מָרֵשָׁ֑ה מָרֵשָׁה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Mareshah|Ref=1CH_4:21!10|MId=o130040210101|Strong=4762 12-13 וּמִשְׁפְּח֛וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1CH_4:21!11|MId=o130040210111|Strong=2050b 13 מִשְׁפְּח֛וֹת מִשְׁפָּחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 conj _ Gloss=the.clans|Ref=1CH_4:21!11|MId=o130040210112|Strong=4940 14 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=1CH_4:21!12|MId=o130040210121|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 15 עֲבֹדַ֥ת עֲבֹדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.work|Ref=1CH_4:21!13|MId=o130040210131|Strong=5656 16-17 הַבֻּ֖ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=1CH_4:21!14|MId=o130040210141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 בֻּ֖ץ בּוּץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=fine.linen|Ref=1CH_4:21!14|MId=o130040210142|Strong=0948 18-19 לְבֵ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=1CH_4:21!15|MId=o130040210151|Strong=3807a 19 בֵ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nmod _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=1CH_4:21!15|MId=o130040210152|Strong=1004 20 אַשְׁבֵּֽעַ אַשְׁבֵּעַ PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ashbea|Ref=1CH_4:21!16|MId=o130040210161|Strong=0791|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=1CH_4:21!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no MACULA marks no verb frame in this verse. ## English, JPS 1917 {#english} Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics.
