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 — disease, Asa — and what happens in the verse to Asa, feet, disease, 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. וַיֶּחֱלֶ֣א אָסָ֡א בִּשְׁנַת֩ שְׁלוֹשִׁ֨ים וָתֵ֤שַׁע לְמַלְכוּתוֹ֙ בְּרַגְלָ֔יו עַד־לְמַ֖עְלָה חָלְי֑וֹ וְגַם־בְּחָלְיוֹ֙ לֹא־דָרַ֣שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֖י בָּרֹפְאִֽים׃ [And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.346/) ## 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:326 # text = וַיֶּחֱלֶ֣א אָסָ֡א בִּשְׁנַת֩ שְׁלוֹשִׁ֨ים וָתֵ֤שַׁע לְמַלְכוּתוֹ֙ בְּרַגְלָ֔יו עַד־לְמַ֖עְלָה חָלְי֑וֹ וְגַם־בְּחָלְיוֹ֙ לֹא־דָרַ֣שׁ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֖י בָּרֹפְאִֽים׃ # verse = 2CH.16.12 1-2 וַיֶּחֱלֶ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_16:12!1|MId=o140160120011|Strong=2050b 2 יֶּחֱלֶ֣א חָלָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.became.sick|Ref=2CH_16:12!1|MId=o140160120012|Strong=2456|Frame=A0:140160120021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אָסָ֡א אָסָא PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Asa|Ref=2CH_16:12!2|MId=o140160120021|Strong=0609 4-5 בִּשְׁנַת֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_16:12!3|MId=o140160120031|Strong=0871a 5 שְׁנַת֩ שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=year|Ref=2CH_16:12!3|MId=o140160120032|Strong=8141 6 שְׁלוֹשִׁ֨ים שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 5 nummod _ Gloss=thirty|Ref=2CH_16:12!4|MId=o140160120041|Strong=7970|Type=cardinal_number 7-8 וָתֵ֤שַׁע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_16:12!5|MId=o140160120051|Strong=2050b 8 תֵ֤שַׁע תֵּשַׁע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=nine|Ref=2CH_16:12!5|MId=o140160120052|Strong=8672|Type=cardinal_number 9-11 לְמַלְכוּתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=2CH_16:12!6|MId=o140160120061|Strong=3807a 10 מַלְכוּת מַלְכוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nmod _ Gloss=reign|Ref=2CH_16:12!6|MId=o140160120062|Strong=4438 11 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_16:12!6|MId=o140160120063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-14 בְּרַגְלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_16:12!7|MId=o140160120071|Strong=0871a 13 רַגְלָ֔י רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 2 obl _ Gloss=feet|Ref=2CH_16:12!7|MId=o140160120072|Strong=7272 14 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_16:12!7|MId=o140160120073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=[was].to|Ref=2CH_16:12!8|MId=o140160120081|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 16-18 לְמַ֖עְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=2CH_16:12!9|MId=o140160120091|Strong=3807a 17 מַ֖עְל מַעַל ADV _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=upwards|Ref=2CH_16:12!9|MId=o140160120092|Strong=4605 18 ָה ה X _ _ 17 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_16:12!9|MId=o140160120093|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 19-20 חָלְי֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 חָלְי חֳלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=sickness|Ref=2CH_16:12!10|MId=o140160120101|Strong=2483 20 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_16:12!10|MId=o140160120102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_16:12!11|MId=o140160120111|Strong=2050b 22 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=2CH_16:12!11|MId=o140160120112|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 23-25 בְּחָלְיוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_16:12!12|MId=o140160120121|Strong=0871a 24 חָלְי חֳלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=sickness|Ref=2CH_16:12!12|MId=o140160120122|Strong=2483 25 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_16:12!12|MId=o140160120123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_16:12!13|MId=o140160120131|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 27 דָרַ֣שׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.sought|Ref=2CH_16:12!14|MId=o140160120141|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:140160120021;A1:140160120161;|Type=qatal 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_16:12!15|MId=o140160120151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 27 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_16:12!16|MId=o140160120161|Strong=3068 30 כִּ֖י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 33 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2CH_16:12!17|MId=o140160120171|Strong=3588 31-33 בָּרֹפְאִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=2CH_16:12!18|MId=o140160120181|Strong=0871a 32 ה הַ SCONJ _ _ 33 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_16:12!18|MId=o140160120181ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 רֹפְאִֽים רָפָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 advcl _ Gloss=physicians|Ref=2CH_16:12!18|MId=o140160120182|Strong=7495|Type=participle_active 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=2CH_16:12!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֶּחֱלֶא *he became sick* | wayyiqtol · qal | אָסָא *Asa* | | | | | **not** דָרַשׁ *he sought* | qatal · qal | אָסָא *Asa* | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
