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 — ye, hands, your — and what happens in the verse to work, 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. וְאַתֶּ֣ם חִזְק֔וּ וְאַל־יִרְפּ֖וּ יְדֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֛י יֵ֥שׁ שָׂכָ֖ר לִפְעֻלַּתְכֶֽם׃ס [But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.320/) ## 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:302 # text = וְאַתֶּ֣ם חִזְק֔וּ וְאַל־יִרְפּ֖וּ יְדֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֛י יֵ֥שׁ שָׂכָ֖ר לִפְעֻלַּתְכֶֽם׃ס # verse = 2CH.15.7 1-2 וְאַתֶּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_15:7!1|MId=o140150070011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתֶּ֣ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=2CH_15:7!1|MId=o140150070012|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 3 חִזְק֔וּ חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=be.strong|Ref=2CH_15:7!2|MId=o140150070021|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:140150070012;|Type=imperative 4-5 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_15:7!3|MId=o140150070031|Strong=2050b 5 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_15:7!3|MId=o140150070032|Strong=0408|Type=negative 6 יִרְפּ֖וּ רָפָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=let.them.drop|Ref=2CH_15:7!4|MId=o140150070041|Strong=7503|Frame=A0:140150070051;|Type=jussive 7-8 יְדֵיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 יְדֵי יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 6 nsubj _ Gloss=hands|Ref=2CH_15:7!5|MId=o140150070051|Strong=3027 8 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_15:7!5|MId=o140150070052|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2CH_15:7!6|MId=o140150070061|Strong=3588 10 יֵ֥שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 3 advcl _ Gloss=there.[is]|Ref=2CH_15:7!7|MId=o140150070071|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 11 שָׂכָ֖ר שָׂכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=reward|Ref=2CH_15:7!8|MId=o140150070081|Strong=7939 12-14 לִפְעֻלַּתְכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2CH_15:7!9|MId=o140150070091|Strong=3807a 13 פְעֻלַּת פְּעֻלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=work|Ref=2CH_15:7!9|MId=o140150070092|Strong=6468 14 ְכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_15:7!9|MId=o140150070093|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=2CH_15:7!9|SpaceAfter=No 16 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=2CH_15:7!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חִזְקוּ *be strong* | imperative · qal | אַתֶּם *you* | | | | | **not** יִרְפּוּ *let them drop* | jussive · qal | יְדֵי *hands* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
