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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to house, covenant, lamp, 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. וְלֹא־אָבָ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה לְהַשְׁחִית֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית דָּוִ֔יד לְמַ֣עַן הַבְּרִ֔ית אֲשֶׁ֥ר כָּרַ֖ת לְדָוִ֑יד וְכַאֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֗ר לָתֵ֨ת ל֥וֹ נִ֛יר וּלְבָנָ֖יו כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ [Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and as He promised to give a lamp to him and to his children alway.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.462/) ## 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:436 # text = וְלֹא־אָבָ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה לְהַשְׁחִית֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית דָּוִ֔יד לְמַ֣עַן הַבְּרִ֔ית אֲשֶׁ֥ר כָּרַ֖ת לְדָוִ֑יד וְכַאֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֗ר לָתֵ֨ת ל֥וֹ נִ֛יר וּלְבָנָ֖יו כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ # verse = 2CH.21.7 1-2 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_21:7!1|MId=o140210070011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_21:7!1|MId=o140210070012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 אָבָ֣ה אָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was.willing|Ref=2CH_21:7!2|MId=o140210070021|Strong=0014|Frame=A0:140210070031;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_21:7!3|MId=o140210070031|Strong=3068 5-6 לְהַשְׁחִית֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_21:7!4|MId=o140210070041|Strong=3807a 6 הַשְׁחִית֙ שָׁחַת VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 3 xcomp _ Gloss=destroy|Ref=2CH_21:7!4|MId=o140210070042|Strong=7843|Frame=AA:140210070031;A0:140210070061;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_21:7!5|MId=o140210070051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2CH_21:7!6|MId=o140210070061|Strong=1004 9 דָּוִ֔יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=2CH_21:7!7|MId=o140210070071|Strong=1732 10 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on.account.of|Ref=2CH_21:7!8|MId=o140210070081|Strong=4616 11-12 הַבְּרִ֔ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_21:7!9|MId=o140210070091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 בְּרִ֔ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=2CH_21:7!9|MId=o140210070092|Strong=1285 13 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2CH_21:7!10|MId=o140210070101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 כָּרַ֖ת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.made|Ref=2CH_21:7!11|MId=o140210070111|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:140210070031;A1:140210070092;|Type=qatal 15-16 לְדָוִ֑יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_21:7!12|MId=o140210070121|Strong=3807a 16 דָוִ֑יד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=2CH_21:7!12|MId=o140210070122|Strong=1732 17-19 וְכַאֲשֶׁ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_21:7!13|MId=o140210070131|Strong=2050b 18 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_21:7!13|MId=o140210070132|Strong=3509a 19 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=since|Ref=2CH_21:7!13|MId=o140210070133|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 אָמַ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.said|Ref=2CH_21:7!14|MId=o140210070141|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140210070031;|Type=qatal 21-22 לָתֵ֨ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_21:7!15|MId=o140210070151|Strong=3807a 22 תֵ֨ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 advcl _ Gloss=give|Ref=2CH_21:7!15|MId=o140210070152|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:140210070031;A1:140210070171;|Type=infinitive_construct 23-24 ל֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_21:7!16|MId=o140210070161|Strong=3807a 24 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2CH_21:7!16|MId=o140210070162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 נִ֛יר נִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=a.lamp|Ref=2CH_21:7!17|MId=o140210070171|Strong=5216 26-29 וּלְבָנָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_21:7!18|MId=o140210070181|Strong=2050b 27 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_21:7!18|MId=o140210070182|Strong=3807a 28 בָנָ֖י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 conj _ Gloss=descendants|Ref=2CH_21:7!18|MId=o140210070183|Strong=1121 29 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_21:7!18|MId=o140210070184|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=2CH_21:7!19|MId=o140210070191|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 31-32 הַיָּמִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_21:7!20|MId=o140210070201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 יָּמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=days|Ref=2CH_21:7!20|MId=o140210070202|Strong=3117 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=2CH_21:7!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
