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 — Uzziah, Zechariah, God — and what happens in the verse to Uzziah, God, understanding, vision, 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. וַיְהִי֙ לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֱלֹהִ֔ים בִּימֵ֣י זְכַרְיָ֔הוּ הַמֵּבִ֖ין בִּרְאֹ֣ת הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבִימֵי֙ דָּרְשׁ֣וֹ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה הִצְלִיח֖וֹ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ס [And he set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.580/) ## 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:542 # text = וַיְהִי֙ לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֱלֹהִ֔ים בִּימֵ֣י זְכַרְיָ֔הוּ הַמֵּבִ֖ין בִּרְאֹ֣ת הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבִימֵי֙ דָּרְשׁ֣וֹ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה הִצְלִיח֖וֹ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ס # verse = 2CH.26.5 1-2 וַיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_26:5!1|MId=o140260050011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=2CH_26:5!1|MId=o140260050012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לִדְרֹ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_26:5!2|MId=o140260050021|Strong=3807a 4 דְרֹ֣שׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=seek|Ref=2CH_26:5!2|MId=o140260050022|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:140260030051;A1:140260050031;|Type=infinitive_construct 5 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=God|Ref=2CH_26:5!3|MId=o140260050031|Strong=0430 6-7 בִּימֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_26:5!4|MId=o140260050041|Strong=0871a 7 ימֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=2CH_26:5!4|MId=o140260050042|Strong=3117 8 זְכַרְיָ֔הוּ זְכַרְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zechariah|Ref=2CH_26:5!5|MId=o140260050051|Strong=2148b 9-10 הַמֵּבִ֖ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=2CH_26:5!6|MId=o140260050061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מֵּבִ֖ין בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 8 appos _ Gloss=was].skilled|Ref=2CH_26:5!6|MId=o140260050062|Strong=0995|Frame=A0:140260050051;|Type=participle_active 11-12 בִּרְאֹ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_26:5!7|MId=o140260050071|Strong=0871a 12 רְאֹ֣ת רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=the.seeing|Ref=2CH_26:5!7|MId=o140260050072|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:140260050051;A1:140260050082;|Type=infinitive_construct 13-14 הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=2CH_26:5!8|MId=o140260050081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=God|Ref=2CH_26:5!8|MId=o140260050082|Strong=0430 15-17 וּבִימֵי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_26:5!9|MId=o140260050091|Strong=2050b 16 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_26:5!9|MId=o140260050092|Strong=0871a 17 ימֵי֙ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 obl _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=2CH_26:5!9|MId=o140260050093|Strong=3117 18-19 דָּרְשׁ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 דָּרְשׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 17 acl _ Gloss=of|Ref=2CH_26:5!10|MId=o140260050101|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:140260050102;A1:140260050121;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=his.seeking|Ref=2CH_26:5!10|MId=o140260050102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_26:5!11|MId=o140260050111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 18 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_26:5!12|MId=o140260050121|Strong=3068 22-23 הִצְלִיח֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הִצְלִיח צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2CH_26:5!13|MId=o140260050131|Strong=6743|Frame=A0:140260050132;AA:140260050142;|Type=qatal 23 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=made.him.prosper|Ref=2CH_26:5!13|MId=o140260050132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 הָאֱלֹהִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2CH_26:5!14|MId=o140260050141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 אֱלֹהִֽים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=2CH_26:5!14|MId=o140260050142|Strong=0430 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=2CH_26:5!14|SpaceAfter=No 27 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=2CH_26:5!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דְרֹשׁ *seek* | infinitive construct · qal | | אֱלֹהִים *God* | | | | מֵּבִין *was\] skilled* | participle active · hiphil | זְכַרְיָהוּ *of Zechariah* | | | | | רְאֹת *the seeing* | infinitive construct · qal | זְכַרְיָהוּ *of Zechariah* | אֱלֹהִים *God* | | | | דָּרְשׁ *of* | infinitive construct · qal | וֹ *his seeking* | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | הִצְלִיח *he* | qatal · hiphil | וֹ *made him prosper* | | | אֱלֹהִֽים *God* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
