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 — father, ye, we, people — and what happens in the verse to counsel, answer, people, me, yoke, 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 36 chapters of 2 Chronicles on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם מָ֚ה אַתֶּ֣ם נֽוֹעָצִ֔ים וְנָשִׁ֥יב דָּבָ֖ר אֶת־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבְּר֤וּ אֵלַי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הָקֵל֙ מִן־הָעֹ֔ל אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥ן אָבִ֖יךָ עָלֵֽינוּ׃ [And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.220/) ## 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:2CH:209 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם מָ֚ה אַתֶּ֣ם נֽוֹעָצִ֔ים וְנָשִׁ֥יב דָּבָ֖ר אֶת־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבְּר֤וּ אֵלַי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הָקֵל֙ מִן־הָעֹ֔ל אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥ן אָבִ֖יךָ עָלֵֽינוּ׃ # verse = 2CH.10.9 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_10:9!1|MId=o140100090011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2CH_10:9!1|MId=o140100090012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140100060022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_10:9!2|MId=o140100090021|Strong=0413 4 ֵהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=2CH_10:9!2|MId=o140100090022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 מָ֚ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 7 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=2CH_10:9!3|MId=o140100090031|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 6 אַתֶּ֣ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=2CH_10:9!4|MId=o140100090041|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 7 נֽוֹעָצִ֔ים יָעַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 2 ccomp _ Gloss=counseling|Ref=2CH_10:9!5|MId=o140100090051|Strong=3289|Frame=A1:140100090031;A0:140100090041;|Type=participle_active 8-9 וְנָשִׁ֥יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=2CH_10:9!6|MId=o140100090061|Strong=2050b 9 נָשִׁ֥יב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=1 7 conj _ Gloss=that.we.may.bring.back|Ref=2CH_10:9!6|MId=o140100090062|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:140100060022;140100080092;A1:140100090071;A0:140100090092;|Type=yiqtol 10 דָּבָ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 xcomp _ Gloss=word|Ref=2CH_10:9!7|MId=o140100090071|Strong=1697 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_10:9!8|MId=o140100090081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_10:9!9|MId=o140100090091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=2CH_10:9!9|MId=o140100090092|Strong=5971 14-15 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2CH_10:9!10|MId=o140100090101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2CH_10:9!10|MId=o140100090102|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 16 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2CH_10:9!11|MId=o140100090111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 דִּבְּר֤וּ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.have.spoken|Ref=2CH_10:9!12|MId=o140100090121|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:140100090092;|Type=qatal 18-19 אֵלַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_10:9!13|MId=o140100090131|Strong=0413 19 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=2CH_10:9!13|MId=o140100090132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-21 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 22 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2CH_10:9!14|MId=o140100090141|Strong=3807a 21 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_10:9!14|MId=o140100090142|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140100090092;A1:140100090151;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 הָקֵל֙ קָלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 17 ccomp _ Gloss=lighten|Ref=2CH_10:9!15|MId=o140100090151|Strong=7043|Frame=A0:140100060022;|Type=imperative 23 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=2CH_10:9!16|MId=o140100090161|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 הָעֹ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_10:9!17|MId=o140100090171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 עֹ֔ל עֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=yoke|Ref=2CH_10:9!17|MId=o140100090172|Strong=5923 26 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2CH_10:9!18|MId=o140100090181|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 27 נָתַ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.put|Ref=2CH_10:9!19|MId=o140100090191|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:140100090201;A1:140100090172;|Type=qatal 28-29 אָבִ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 אָבִ֖י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=2CH_10:9!20|MId=o140100090201|Strong=0001 29 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_10:9!20|MId=o140100090202|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 30-31 עָלֵֽינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 עָלֵֽי עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2CH_10:9!21|MId=o140100090211|Strong=5921 31 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 27 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=2CH_10:9!21|MId=o140100090212|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=2CH_10:9!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
