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 — four chief porters, These, porters — and what happens in the verse to set office, Levites, chambers, 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. כִּ֣י בֶאֱמוּנָ֞ה הֵ֗מָּה אַרְבַּ֙עַת֙ גִּבֹּרֵ֣י הַשֹּׁעֲרִ֔ים הֵ֖ם הַלְוִיִּ֑ם וְהָיוּ֙ עַל־הַלְּשָׁכ֔וֹת וְעַ֥ל הָאֹצְר֖וֹת בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ [for the four chief porters were in a set office.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.436/) [These were the Levites.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.437/) [They were also over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/1CH.438/) ## 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.
