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 — writing, LORD, thou — and what happens in the verse to Elijah, ways, 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. וַיָּבֹ֤א אֵלָיו֙ מִכְתָּ֔ב מֵֽאֵלִיָּ֥הוּ הַנָּבִ֖יא לֵאמֹ֑ר כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אֱלֹהֵי֙ דָּוִ֣יד אָבִ֔יךָ תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־הָלַ֙כְתָּ֙ בְּדַרְכֵי֙ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֣ט אָבִ֔יךָ וּבְדַרְכֵ֖י אָסָ֥א מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָֽה׃ [And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.467/) ## 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:441 # text = וַיָּבֹ֤א אֵלָיו֙ מִכְתָּ֔ב מֵֽאֵלִיָּ֥הוּ הַנָּבִ֖יא לֵאמֹ֑ר כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אֱלֹהֵי֙ דָּוִ֣יד אָבִ֔יךָ תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־הָלַ֙כְתָּ֙ בְּדַרְכֵי֙ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֣ט אָבִ֔יךָ וּבְדַרְכֵ֖י אָסָ֥א מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָֽה׃ # verse = 2CH.21.12 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_21:12!1|MId=o140210120011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֤א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=2CH_21:12!1|MId=o140210120012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:140210120031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_21:12!2|MId=o140210120021|Strong=0413 4 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2CH_21:12!2|MId=o140210120022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 מִכְתָּ֔ב מִכְתָּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=a.writing|Ref=2CH_21:12!3|MId=o140210120031|Strong=4385 6-7 מֵֽאֵלִיָּ֥הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2CH_21:12!4|MId=o140210120041|Strong=4480 7 אֵלִיָּ֥הוּ אֵלִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Elijah|Ref=2CH_21:12!4|MId=o140210120042|Strong=0452 8-9 הַנָּבִ֖יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_21:12!5|MId=o140210120051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 נָּבִ֖יא נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=prophet|Ref=2CH_21:12!5|MId=o140210120052|Strong=5030 10-11 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 14 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2CH_21:12!6|MId=o140210120061|Strong=3807a 11 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_21:12!6|MId=o140210120062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140210120031;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 כֹּ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2CH_21:12!7|MId=o140210120071|Strong=3541 13 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 12 punct _ Ref=2CH_21:12!7 14 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=2CH_21:12!8|MId=o140210120081|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140210120091;|Type=qatal 15 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_21:12!9|MId=o140210120091|Strong=3068 16 אֱלֹהֵי֙ אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=2CH_21:12!10|MId=o140210120101|Strong=0430 17 דָּוִ֣יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=2CH_21:12!11|MId=o140210120111|Strong=1732 18-19 אָבִ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אָבִ֔י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 appos _ Gloss=ancestor|Ref=2CH_21:12!12|MId=o140210120121|Strong=0001 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_21:12!12|MId=o140210120122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 תַּ֗חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 14 ccomp _ Gloss=because|Ref=2CH_21:12!13|MId=o140210120131|Strong=8478 21 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=2CH_21:12!14|MId=o140210120141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 22 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_21:12!15|MId=o140210120151|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 23 הָלַ֙כְתָּ֙ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 20 parataxis _ Gloss=you.have.walked|Ref=2CH_21:12!16|MId=o140210120161|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:140210090021;|Type=qatal 24-25 בְּדַרְכֵי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_21:12!17|MId=o140210120171|Strong=0871a 25 דַרְכֵי֙ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=the.ways|Ref=2CH_21:12!17|MId=o140210120172|Strong=1870 26 יְהוֹשָׁפָ֣ט יְהוֹשָׁפָט PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jehoshaphat|Ref=2CH_21:12!18|MId=o140210120181|Strong=3092 27-28 אָבִ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 אָבִ֔י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 appos _ Gloss=father|Ref=2CH_21:12!19|MId=o140210120191|Strong=0001 28 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_21:12!19|MId=o140210120192|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 29-31 וּבְדַרְכֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_21:12!20|MId=o140210120201|Strong=2050b 30 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_21:12!20|MId=o140210120202|Strong=0871a 31 דַרְכֵ֖י דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 25 conj _ Gloss=the.ways|Ref=2CH_21:12!20|MId=o140210120203|Strong=1870 32 אָסָ֥א אָסָא PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Asa|Ref=2CH_21:12!21|MId=o140210120211|Strong=0609 33 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2CH_21:12!22|MId=o140210120221|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 34 יְהוּדָֽה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=2CH_21:12!23|MId=o140210120231|Strong=3063|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=2CH_21:12!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
