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 — people, LORD — and what happens in the verse to liers, wait, children, people, 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. וּבְעֵת֩ הֵחֵ֨לּוּ בְרִנָּ֜ה וּתְהִלָּ֗ה נָתַ֣ן יְהוָ֣ה ׀ מְ֠אָֽרְבִים עַל־בְּנֵ֨י עַמּ֜וֹן מוֹאָ֧ב וְהַר־שֵׂעִ֛יר הַבָּאִ֥ים לִֽיהוּדָ֖ה וַיִּנָּגֵֽפוּ׃ [And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.440/) ## 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:414 # text = וּבְעֵת֩ הֵחֵ֨לּוּ בְרִנָּ֜ה וּתְהִלָּ֗ה נָתַ֣ן יְהוָ֣ה ׀ מְ֠אָֽרְבִים עַל־בְּנֵ֨י עַמּ֜וֹן מוֹאָ֧ב וְהַר־שֵׂעִ֛יר הַבָּאִ֥ים לִֽיהוּדָ֖ה וַיִּנָּגֵֽפוּ׃ # verse = 2CH.20.22 1-3 וּבְעֵת֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:22!1|MId=o140200220011|Strong=2050b 2 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=at.[the]|Ref=2CH_20:22!1|MId=o140200220012|Strong=0871a 3 עֵת֩ עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=time|Ref=2CH_20:22!1|MId=o140200220013|Strong=6256 4 הֵחֵ֨לּוּ חָלַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 acl _ Gloss=[when].they.began|Ref=2CH_20:22!2|MId=o140200220021|Strong=2490|Frame=A0:140200210051;140200210072;|Type=qatal 5-6 בְרִנָּ֜ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2CH_20:22!3|MId=o140200220031|Strong=0871a 6 רִנָּ֜ה רִנָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=a.shout.of.joy|Ref=2CH_20:22!3|MId=o140200220032|Strong=7440 7-8 וּתְהִלָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:22!4|MId=o140200220041|Strong=2050b 8 תְהִלָּ֗ה תְּהִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=praise|Ref=2CH_20:22!4|MId=o140200220042|Strong=8416 9 נָתַ֣ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.set|Ref=2CH_20:22!5|MId=o140200220051|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:140200220061;A1:140200220071;|Type=qatal 10 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_20:22!6|MId=o140200220061|Strong=3068 11 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=2CH_20:22!6 12 מְ֠אָֽרְבִים אָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=ambushers|Ref=2CH_20:22!7|MId=o140200220071|Strong=0693|Type=participle_active 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2CH_20:22!8|MId=o140200220081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14 בְּנֵ֨י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=2CH_20:22!9|MId=o140200220091|Strong=1121 15 עַמּ֜וֹן עַמּוֹן PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ammon|Ref=2CH_20:22!10|MId=o140200220101|Strong=5983 16 מוֹאָ֧ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 15 conj _ Gloss=Moab|Ref=2CH_20:22!11|MId=o140200220111|Strong=4124 17-18 וְהַר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:22!12|MId=o140200220121|Strong=2050b 18 הַר־ הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=the.mountain|Ref=2CH_20:22!12|MId=o140200220122|Strong=2022 19 שֵׂעִ֛יר שֵׂעִיר PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Seir|Ref=2CH_20:22!13|MId=o140200220131|Strong=8165 20-21 הַבָּאִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=2CH_20:22!14|MId=o140200220141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 בָּאִ֥ים בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=were].coming|Ref=2CH_20:22!14|MId=o140200220142|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:140200220091;|Type=participle_active 22-23 לִֽיהוּדָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִֽ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_20:22!15|MId=o140200220151|Strong=3807a 23 יהוּדָ֖ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=2CH_20:22!15|MId=o140200220152|Strong=3063 24-25 וַיִּנָּגֵֽפוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_20:22!16|MId=o140200220161|Strong=2050b 25 יִּנָּגֵֽפוּ נָגַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=they.were.defeated|Ref=2CH_20:22!16|MId=o140200220162|Strong=5062|Frame=A1:140200220091;|Type=wayyiqtol 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=2CH_20:22!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֵחֵלּוּ *\[when\] they began* | qatal · hiphil | | | | | | נָתַן *he set* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מְאָֽרְבִים *ambushers* | | | | בָּאִים *were\] coming* | participle active · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | | יִּנָּגֵֽפוּ *they were defeated* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
