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, LORD — and what happens in the verse to battle, yourselves, salvation, 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. לֹ֥א לָכֶ֖ם לְהִלָּחֵ֣ם בָּזֹ֑את הִתְיַצְּב֣וּ עִמְד֡וּ וּרְא֣וּ אֶת־יְשׁוּעַת֩ יְהוָ֨ה עִמָּכֶ֜ם יְהוּדָ֣ה וִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם אַל־תִּֽירְאוּ֙ וְאַל־תֵּחַ֔תּוּ מָחָר֙ צְא֣וּ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם וַיהוָ֖ה עִמָּכֶֽם׃ [Ye shall not need to fight in this battle; set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear not, nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them; for the LORD is with you.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.435/) ## 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:409 # text = לֹ֥א לָכֶ֖ם לְהִלָּחֵ֣ם בָּזֹ֑את הִתְיַצְּב֣וּ עִמְד֡וּ וּרְא֣וּ אֶת־יְשׁוּעַת֩ יְהוָ֨ה עִמָּכֶ֜ם יְהוּדָ֣ה וִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם אַל־תִּֽירְאוּ֙ וְאַל־תֵּחַ֔תּוּ מָחָר֙ צְא֣וּ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם וַיהוָ֖ה עִמָּכֶֽם׃ # verse = 2CH.20.17 1 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_20:17!1|MId=o140200170011|Strong=3808|Type=negative 2-3 לָכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 ל לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=2CH_20:17!2|MId=o140200170021|Strong=3807a 3 ָכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=you|Ref=2CH_20:17!2|MId=o140200170022|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 4-5 לְהִלָּחֵ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_20:17!3|MId=o140200170031|Strong=3807a 5 הִלָּחֵ֣ם לָחַם VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 3 nsubj _ Gloss=fight|Ref=2CH_20:17!3|MId=o140200170032|Strong=3898|Type=infinitive_construct 6-7 בָּזֹ֑את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_20:17!4|MId=o140200170041|Strong=0871a 7 זֹ֑את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 5 obl _ Gloss=this.[battle]|Ref=2CH_20:17!4|MId=o140200170042|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 8 הִתְיַצְּב֣וּ יָצַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=take.your.stand|Ref=2CH_20:17!5|MId=o140200170051|Strong=3320|Frame=A0:140200170121;140200170132;|Type=imperative 9 עִמְד֡וּ עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 parataxis _ Gloss=stand|Ref=2CH_20:17!6|MId=o140200170061|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:140200170121;140200170132;|Type=imperative 10-11 וּרְא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:17!7|MId=o140200170071|Strong=2050b 11 רְא֣וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=see|Ref=2CH_20:17!7|MId=o140200170072|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:140200170121;140200170132;A1:140200170091;|Type=imperative 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_20:17!8|MId=o140200170081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13 יְשׁוּעַת֩ יְשׁוּעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=the.victory|Ref=2CH_20:17!9|MId=o140200170091|Strong=3444 14 יְהוָ֨ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2CH_20:17!10|MId=o140200170101|Strong=3068 15-16 עִמָּכֶ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2CH_20:17!11|MId=o140200170111|Strong=5973 16 ָכֶ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod _ Gloss=you|Ref=2CH_20:17!11|MId=o140200170112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17 יְהוּדָ֣ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 8 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Judah|Ref=2CH_20:17!12|MId=o140200170121|Strong=3063 18-19 וִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:17!13|MId=o140200170131|Strong=2050b 19 ירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 17 conj _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2CH_20:17!13|MId=o140200170132|Strong=3389 20 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=2CH_20:17!14|MId=o140200170141|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 21 תִּֽירְאוּ֙ יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=be.afraid|Ref=2CH_20:17!15|MId=o140200170151|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:140200170121;140200170132;|Type=jussive 22-23 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:17!16|MId=o140200170161|Strong=2050b 23 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=2CH_20:17!16|MId=o140200170162|Strong=0408|Type=negative 24 תֵּחַ֔תּוּ חָתַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=be.dismayed|Ref=2CH_20:17!17|MId=o140200170171|Strong=2865|Frame=A0:140200170121;140200170132;|Type=jussive 25 מָחָר֙ מָחָר ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 advmod _ Gloss=tomorrow|Ref=2CH_20:17!18|MId=o140200170181|Strong=4279 26 צְא֣וּ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=go.out|Ref=2CH_20:17!19|MId=o140200170191|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:140200170121;140200170132;|Type=imperative 27-29 לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2CH_20:17!20|MId=o140200170201|Strong=3807a 28 פְנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 26 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_20:17!20|MId=o140200170202|Strong=6440 29 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=2CH_20:17!20|MId=o140200170203|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 30-31 וַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:17!21|MId=o140200170211|Strong=2050b 31 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 33 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_20:17!21|MId=o140200170212|Strong=3068 32-33 עִמָּכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=2CH_20:17!22|MId=o140200170221|Strong=5973 33 ָכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 conj _ Gloss=be].with.you|Ref=2CH_20:17!22|MId=o140200170222|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=2CH_20:17!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
