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 — Shaphan — and what happens in the verse to book, king, word, servants, 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. וַיָּבֵ֨א שָׁפָ֤ן אֶת־הַסֵּ֙פֶר֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיָּ֨שֶׁב ע֧וֹד אֶת־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ דָּבָ֖ר לֵאמֹ֑ר כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־נִתַּ֥ן בְּיַד־עֲבָדֶ֖יךָ הֵ֥ם עֹשִֽׂים׃ [And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word unto the king, saying: 'All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.811/) ## 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:754 # text = וַיָּבֵ֨א שָׁפָ֤ן אֶת־הַסֵּ֙פֶר֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיָּ֨שֶׁב ע֧וֹד אֶת־הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ דָּבָ֖ר לֵאמֹ֑ר כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־נִתַּ֥ן בְּיַד־עֲבָדֶ֖יךָ הֵ֥ם עֹשִֽׂים׃ # verse = 2CH.34.16 1-2 וַיָּבֵ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_34:16!1|MId=o140340160011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֵ֨א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.brought|Ref=2CH_34:16!1|MId=o140340160012|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:140340160021;A0:140340160042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שָׁפָ֤ן שָׁפָן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Shaphan|Ref=2CH_34:16!2|MId=o140340160021|Strong=8227a 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_34:16!3|MId=o140340160031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַסֵּ֙פֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_34:16!4|MId=o140340160041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 סֵּ֙פֶר֙ סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=scroll|Ref=2CH_34:16!4|MId=o140340160042|Strong=5612 7 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_34:16!5|MId=o140340160051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_34:16!6|MId=o140340160061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2CH_34:16!6|MId=o140340160062|Strong=4428 10-11 וַיָּ֨שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_34:16!7|MId=o140340160071|Strong=2050b 11 יָּ֨שֶׁב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.brought.back|Ref=2CH_34:16!7|MId=o140340160072|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:140340160021;A0:140340160102;A1:140340160111;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 ע֧וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=2CH_34:16!8|MId=o140340160081|Strong=5750 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_34:16!9|MId=o140340160091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_34:16!10|MId=o140340160101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 מֶּ֛לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2CH_34:16!10|MId=o140340160102|Strong=4428 16 דָּבָ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 xcomp _ Gloss=word|Ref=2CH_34:16!11|MId=o140340160111|Strong=1697 17-18 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 27 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2CH_34:16!12|MId=o140340160121|Strong=3807a 18 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 17 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_34:16!12|MId=o140340160122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140340160021;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 כֹּ֛ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=2CH_34:16!13|MId=o140340160131|Strong=3605 20 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=2CH_34:16!14|MId=o140340160141|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 21 נִתַּ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.was.given|Ref=2CH_34:16!15|MId=o140340160151|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:140340160131;|Type=qatal 22-23 בְּיַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_34:16!16|MId=o140340160161|Strong=0871a 23 יַד־ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=2CH_34:16!16|MId=o140340160162|Strong=3027 24-25 עֲבָדֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 עֲבָדֶ֖י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.servants|Ref=2CH_34:16!17|MId=o140340160171|Strong=5650 25 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_34:16!17|MId=o140340160172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 הֵ֥ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=2CH_34:16!18|MId=o140340160181|Strong=1992|Type=personal 27 עֹשִֽׂים עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 11 advcl _ Gloss=[are].doing|Ref=2CH_34:16!19|MId=o140340160191|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:140340160131;A0:140340160181;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2CH_34:16!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֵא *he brought* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | סֵּפֶר *scroll* | | | שָׁפָן *Shaphan* | | יָּשֶׁב *he brought back* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | דָּבָר *word* | | שָׁפָן *Shaphan* | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | שָׁפָן *Shaphan* | | | | | נִתַּן *it was given* | qatal · niphal | | כֹּל *all* | | | | עֹשִֽׂים *\[are\] doing* | participle active · qal | הֵם *they* | כֹּל *all* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
