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 — you, word, Thou, Thy — and what happens in the verse to word, 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. וְעַתָּ֕ה יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יֵֽאָמֵן֙ דְּבָ֣רְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ֥ לְדָוִֽיד׃ [Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let Thy word be verified, which Thou spokest unto Thy servant David.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.112/) ## 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:104 # text = וְעַתָּ֕ה יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יֵֽאָמֵן֙ דְּבָ֣רְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ֥ לְדָוִֽיד׃ # verse = 2CH.6.17 1-2 וְעַתָּ֕ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_6:17!1|MId=o140060170011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֕ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=2CH_6:17!1|MId=o140060170012|Strong=6258 3 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=2CH_6:17!2|MId=o140060170021|Strong=3068 4 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=2CH_6:17!3|MId=o140060170031|Strong=0430 5 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2CH_6:17!4|MId=o140060170041|Strong=3478 6 יֵֽאָמֵן֙ אָמַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=let.it.be.established|Ref=2CH_6:17!5|MId=o140060170051|Strong=0539|Frame=A1:140060170061;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 דְּבָ֣רְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 דְּבָ֣ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=word|Ref=2CH_6:17!6|MId=o140060170061|Strong=1697 8 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_6:17!6|MId=o140060170062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2CH_6:17!7|MId=o140060170071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10 דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.spoke|Ref=2CH_6:17!8|MId=o140060170081|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:140060170021;A1:140060170061;|Type=qatal 11-13 לְעַבְדְּךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_6:17!9|MId=o140060170091|Strong=3807a 12 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=servant|Ref=2CH_6:17!9|MId=o140060170092|Strong=5650 13 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_6:17!9|MId=o140060170093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-15 לְדָוִֽיד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_6:17!10|MId=o140060170101|Strong=3807a 15 דָוִֽיד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 12 nmod _ Gloss=David|Ref=2CH_6:17!10|MId=o140060170102|Strong=1732 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=2CH_6:17!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵֽאָמֵן *let it be established* | yiqtol · niphal | | דְּבָר *word* | | | | דִּבַּרְתָּ *you spoke* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | דְּבָר *word* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
