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 — word — and what happens in the verse to Shemaiah, LORD, 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. וַיְהִי֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־שְׁמַֽעְיָ֥הוּ אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים לֵאמֹֽר׃ [But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.233/) ## 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:221 # text = וַיְהִי֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־שְׁמַֽעְיָ֥הוּ אִישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = 2CH.11.2 1-2 וַיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_11:2!1|MId=o140110020011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=2CH_11:2!1|MId=o140110020012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:140110020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=2CH_11:2!2|MId=o140110020021|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 4 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2CH_11:2!3|MId=o140110020031|Strong=3068 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_11:2!4|MId=o140110020041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 שְׁמַֽעְיָ֥הוּ שְׁמַעְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Shemaiah|Ref=2CH_11:2!5|MId=o140110020051|Strong=8098a 7 אִישׁ־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=2CH_11:2!6|MId=o140110020061|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=2CH_11:2!7|MId=o140110020071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=2CH_11:2!7|MId=o140110020072|Strong=0430 10-11 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2CH_11:2!8|MId=o140110020081|Strong=3807a 11 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_11:2!8|MId=o140110020082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140110020021;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=2CH_11:2!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: a frame; the quote follows - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהִי *it came* | wayyiqtol · qal | דְּבַר־ *the word* | | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | דְּבַר־ *the word* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
