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 — captains — and what happens in the verse to Judah, Levites, cities, Jerusalem, 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. וַיָּסֹ֙בּוּ֙ בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּקְבְּצ֤וּ אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם֙ מִכָּל־עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וְרָאשֵׁ֥י הָאָב֖וֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ [And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers' houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.493/) ## 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:463 # text = וַיָּסֹ֙בּוּ֙ בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּקְבְּצ֤וּ אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם֙ מִכָּל־עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וְרָאשֵׁ֥י הָאָב֖וֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ # verse = 2CH.23.2 1-2 וַיָּסֹ֙בּוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_23:2!1|MId=o140230020011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּסֹ֙בּוּ֙ סָבַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.went.around|Ref=2CH_23:2!1|MId=o140230020012|Strong=5437|Frame=A0:140230010071;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_23:2!2|MId=o140230020021|Strong=0871a 4 יהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=2CH_23:2!2|MId=o140230020022|Strong=3063 5-6 וַיִּקְבְּצ֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_23:2!3|MId=o140230020031|Strong=2050b 6 יִּקְבְּצ֤וּ קָבַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.gathered|Ref=2CH_23:2!3|MId=o140230020032|Strong=6908|Frame=A0:140230010071;A1:140230020052;140230020092;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_23:2!4|MId=o140230020041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הַלְוִיִּם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_23:2!5|MId=o140230020051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 לְוִיִּם֙ לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=2CH_23:2!5|MId=o140230020052|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 10-11 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2CH_23:2!6|MId=o140230020061|Strong=4480 11 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=2CH_23:2!6|MId=o140230020062|Strong=3605 12 עָרֵ֣י עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.cities|Ref=2CH_23:2!7|MId=o140230020071|Strong=5892 13 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=2CH_23:2!8|MId=o140230020081|Strong=3063 14-15 וְרָאשֵׁ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_23:2!9|MId=o140230020091|Strong=2050b 15 רָאשֵׁ֥י רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=the.heads|Ref=2CH_23:2!9|MId=o140230020092|Strong=7218 16-17 הָאָב֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2CH_23:2!10|MId=o140230020101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 אָב֖וֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.fathers|Ref=2CH_23:2!10|MId=o140230020102|Strong=0001 18-19 לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=2CH_23:2!11|MId=o140230020111|Strong=3807a 19 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2CH_23:2!11|MId=o140230020112|Strong=3478 20-21 וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_23:2!12|MId=o140230020121|Strong=2050b 21 יָּבֹ֖אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=2CH_23:2!12|MId=o140230020122|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:140230020052;140230020092;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_23:2!13|MId=o140230020131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 23 יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2CH_23:2!14|MId=o140230020141|Strong=3389|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2CH_23:2!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּסֹבּוּ *they went around* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִּקְבְּצוּ *they gathered* | wayyiqtol · qal | | לְוִיִּם *Levites* + רָאשֵׁי *the heads* | | | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* + רָאשֵׁי *the heads* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
