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, inhabitants — and what happens in the verse to inhabitants, end, 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. מָחָר֙ רְד֣וּ עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם הִנָּ֥ם עֹלִ֖ים בְּמַעֲלֵ֣ה הַצִּ֑יץ וּמְצָאתֶ֤ם אֹתָם֙ בְּס֣וֹף הַנַּ֔חַל פְּנֵ֖י מִדְבַּ֥ר יְרוּאֵֽל׃ [To-morrow go ye down against them; behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.434/) ## 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:408 # text = מָחָר֙ רְד֣וּ עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם הִנָּ֥ם עֹלִ֖ים בְּמַעֲלֵ֣ה הַצִּ֑יץ וּמְצָאתֶ֤ם אֹתָם֙ בְּס֣וֹף הַנַּ֔חַל פְּנֵ֖י מִדְבַּ֥ר יְרוּאֵֽל׃ # verse = 2CH.20.16 1 מָחָר֙ מָחָר ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 advmod _ Gloss=tomorrow|Ref=2CH_20:16!1|MId=o140200160011|Strong=4279 2 רְד֣וּ יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=go.down|Ref=2CH_20:16!2|MId=o140200160021|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:140200150041;140200150052;140200150073;|Type=imperative 3-4 עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2CH_20:16!3|MId=o140200160031|Strong=5921 4 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=2CH_20:16!3|MId=o140200160032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-6 הִנָּ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הִנּ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=there|Ref=2CH_20:16!4|MId=o140200160041|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 6 ָ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=2CH_20:16!4|MId=o140200160042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 7 עֹלִ֖ים עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[will.be].coming.up|Ref=2CH_20:16!5|MId=o140200160051|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:140200160042;|Type=participle_active 8-9 בְּמַעֲלֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2CH_20:16!6|MId=o140200160061|Strong=0871a 9 מַעֲלֵ֣ה מַעֲלֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.ascent|Ref=2CH_20:16!6|MId=o140200160062|Strong=4608 10-11 הַצִּ֑יץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=2CH_20:16!7|MId=o140200160071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 צִּ֑יץ צִיץ PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Ziz|Ref=2CH_20:16!7|MId=o140200160072|Strong=6732 12-13 וּמְצָאתֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:16!8|MId=o140200160081|Strong=2050b 13 מְצָאתֶ֤ם מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.find|Ref=2CH_20:16!8|MId=o140200160082|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:140200150041;140200150052;140200150073;A1:140200160092;|Type=weqatal 14-15 אֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_20:16!9|MId=o140200160091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=2CH_20:16!9|MId=o140200160092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16-17 בְּס֣וֹף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=2CH_20:16!10|MId=o140200160101|Strong=0871a 17 ס֣וֹף סוֹף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=2CH_20:16!10|MId=o140200160102|Strong=5490 18-19 הַנַּ֔חַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2CH_20:16!11|MId=o140200160111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 נַּ֔חַל נַחַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.wadi|Ref=2CH_20:16!11|MId=o140200160112|Strong=5158 20 פְּנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=the.face|Ref=2CH_20:16!12|MId=o140200160121|Strong=6440 21 מִדְבַּ֥ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.wilderness|Ref=2CH_20:16!13|MId=o140200160131|Strong=4057 22 יְרוּאֵֽל יְרוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jeruel|Ref=2CH_20:16!14|MId=o140200160141|Strong=3385|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=2CH_20:16!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רְדוּ *go down* | imperative · qal | | | | | | עֹלִים *\[will be\] coming up* | participle active · qal | ָם *they* | | | | | מְצָאתֶם *you will find* | weqatal · qal | | ָם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
