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 — Abijah — and what happens in the verse to fourteen wives, twenty two sons, 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. וַיִּתְחַזֵּ֣ק אֲבִיָּ֔הוּ וַיִּ֨שָּׂא־ל֔וֹ נָשִׁ֖ים אַרְבַּ֣ע עֶשְׂרֵ֑ה וַיּ֗וֹלֶד עֶשְׂרִ֤ים וּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ בָּנִ֔ים וְשֵׁ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה בָּנֽוֹת׃ס [But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.296/) ## 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:279 # text = וַיִּתְחַזֵּ֣ק אֲבִיָּ֔הוּ וַיִּ֨שָּׂא־ל֔וֹ נָשִׁ֖ים אַרְבַּ֣ע עֶשְׂרֵ֑ה וַיּ֗וֹלֶד עֶשְׂרִ֤ים וּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ בָּנִ֔ים וְשֵׁ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה בָּנֽוֹת׃ס # verse = 2CH.13.21 1-2 וַיִּתְחַזֵּ֣ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_13:21!1|MId=o140130210011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתְחַזֵּ֣ק חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.strengthened.himself|Ref=2CH_13:21!1|MId=o140130210012|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:140130210021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֲבִיָּ֔הוּ אֲבִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Abijah|Ref=2CH_13:21!2|MId=o140130210021|Strong=0029a 4-5 וַיִּ֨שָּׂא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_13:21!3|MId=o140130210031|Strong=2050b 5 יִּ֨שָּׂא־ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=2CH_13:21!3|MId=o140130210032|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:140130210021;A1:140130210051;|Type=wayyiqtol 6-7 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2CH_13:21!4|MId=o140130210041|Strong=3807a 7 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=himself|Ref=2CH_13:21!4|MId=o140130210042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 נָשִׁ֖ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 obj _ Gloss=wives|Ref=2CH_13:21!5|MId=o140130210051|Strong=0802 9 אַרְבַּ֣ע אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 nummod _ Gloss=four-|Ref=2CH_13:21!6|MId=o140130210061|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 10 עֶשְׂרֵ֑ה עֶשְׂרֵה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 flat _ Gloss=teen|Ref=2CH_13:21!7|MId=o140130210071|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 11-12 וַיּ֗וֹלֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_13:21!8|MId=o140130210081|Strong=2050b 12 יּ֗וֹלֶד יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.fathered|Ref=2CH_13:21!8|MId=o140130210082|Strong=3205|Frame=AA:140130210021;A0:140130210111;140130210141;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 עֶשְׂרִ֤ים עֶשְׂרִים NUM _ Number=Plur 16 nummod _ Gloss=twenty|Ref=2CH_13:21!9|MId=o140130210091|Strong=6242|Type=cardinal_number 14-15 וּשְׁנַ֙יִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_13:21!10|MId=o140130210101|Strong=2050b 15 שְׁנַ֙יִם֙ שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 13 conj _ Gloss=two|Ref=2CH_13:21!10|MId=o140130210102|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 16 בָּנִ֔ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=2CH_13:21!11|MId=o140130210111|Strong=1121 17-18 וְשֵׁ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_13:21!12|MId=o140130210121|Strong=2050b 18 שֵׁ֥שׁ שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 nummod _ Gloss=six-|Ref=2CH_13:21!12|MId=o140130210122|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number 19 עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה עֶשְׂרֵה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 flat _ Gloss=teen|Ref=2CH_13:21!13|MId=o140130210131|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 20 בָּנֽוֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=2CH_13:21!14|MId=o140130210141|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=2CH_13:21!14|SpaceAfter=No 22 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=2CH_13:21!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתְחַזֵּק *he strengthened himself* | wayyiqtol · hithpael | אֲבִיָּהוּ *Abijah* | | | | | יִּשָּׂא־ *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲבִיָּהוּ *Abijah* | נָשִׁים *wives* | | | | יּוֹלֶד *he fathered* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | בָּנִים *sons* + בָּנֽוֹת *daughters* | | | אֲבִיָּהוּ *Abijah* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
