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 — counsel, priests, people — and what happens in the verse to passover, counsel, sufficient number, 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. כִּ֣י לֹ֧א יָכְל֛וּ לַעֲשֹׂת֖וֹ בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑יא כִּ֤י הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ לֹֽא־הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְמַ דַּ֔יוְהָעָ֖ם לֹא־נֶאֶסְפ֥וּלִֽירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ [For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.683/) ## 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:635 # text = כִּ֣י לֹ֧א יָכְל֛וּ לַעֲשֹׂת֖וֹ בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑יא כִּ֤י הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ לֹֽא־הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְמַ דַּ֔יוְהָעָ֖ם לֹא־נֶאֶסְפ֥וּלִֽירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ # verse = 2CH.30.3 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2CH_30:3!1|MId=o140300030011|Strong=3588 2 לֹ֧א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_30:3!2|MId=o140300030021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 יָכְל֛וּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.had.been.able|Ref=2CH_30:3!3|MId=o140300030031|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:140300020022;140300020032;140300020052;|Type=qatal 4-6 לַעֲשֹׂת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_30:3!4|MId=o140300030041|Strong=3807a 5 עֲשֹׂת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 3 xcomp _ Gloss=observe|Ref=2CH_30:3!4|MId=o140300030042|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:140300020022;140300020032;140300020052;A1:140300030043;|Type=infinitive_construct 6 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=2CH_30:3!4|MId=o140300030043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-9 בָּעֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=2CH_30:3!5|MId=o140300030051|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_30:3!5|MId=o140300030051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 עֵ֣ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=time|Ref=2CH_30:3!5|MId=o140300030052|Strong=6256 10-11 הַהִ֑יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2CH_30:3!6|MId=o140300030061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 הִ֑יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=2CH_30:3!6|MId=o140300030062|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 12 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2CH_30:3!7|MId=o140300030071|Strong=3588 13-14 הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_30:3!8|MId=o140300030081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 כֹּהֲנִים֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 nsubj _ Gloss=priests|Ref=2CH_30:3!8|MId=o140300030082|Strong=3548 15 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_30:3!9|MId=o140300030091|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 16 הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ קָדַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 advcl _ Gloss=they.had.consecrated.themselves|Ref=2CH_30:3!10|MId=o140300030101|Strong=6942|Frame=A0:140300030082;|Type=qatal 17-18 לְמַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_30:3!11|MId=o140300030111|Strong=3807a 18 מַ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=what.[was]|Ref=2CH_30:3!11|MId=o140300030112|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 19-22 דַּ֔יוְהָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 דַּ֔י דַּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=sufficiency|Ref=2CH_30:3!12|MId=o140300030121|Strong=1767 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_30:3!13|MId=o140300030131|Strong=2050b 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_30:3!13|MId=o140300030132|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=2CH_30:3!13|MId=o140300030133|Strong=5971 23 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_30:3!14|MId=o140300030141|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 24-26 נֶאֶסְפ֥וּלִֽירוּשָׁלִָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 נֶאֶסְפ֥וּ אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.had.gathered|Ref=2CH_30:3!15|MId=o140300030151|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:140300030123;|Type=qatal 25 לִֽ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_30:3!16|MId=o140300030161|Strong=3807a 26 ירוּשָׁלִָֽם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 24 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2CH_30:3!16|MId=o140300030162|Strong=3389 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2CH_30:3!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָכְלוּ *they had been able* | qatal · qal | | | | | | עֲשֹׂת *observe* | infinitive construct · qal | | וֹ *it* | | | | **not** הִתְקַדְּשׁוּ *they had consecrated themselves* | qatal · hithpael | כֹּהֲנִים *priests* | | | | | **not** נֶאֶסְפוּ *they had gathered* | qatal · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
