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 — LORD, I, thy — and what happens in the verse to Solomon, prayer, place, Myself, 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. וַיֵּרָ֧א יְהוָ֛ה אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בַּלָּ֑יְלָה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ אֶת־תְּפִלָּתֶ֔ךָ וּבָחַ֜רְתִּי בַּמָּק֥וֹם הַזֶּ֛ה לִ֖י לְבֵ֥ית זָֽבַח׃ [And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him: 'I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to Myself for a house of sacrifice.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.150/) ## 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:141 # text = וַיֵּרָ֧א יְהוָ֛ה אֶל־שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בַּלָּ֑יְלָה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֗וֹ שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ אֶת־תְּפִלָּתֶ֔ךָ וּבָחַ֜רְתִּי בַּמָּק֥וֹם הַזֶּ֛ה לִ֖י לְבֵ֥ית זָֽבַח׃ # verse = 2CH.7.12 1-2 וַיֵּרָ֧א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:12!1|MId=o140070120011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּרָ֧א רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.appeared|Ref=2CH_7:12!1|MId=o140070120012|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:140070120021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_7:12!2|MId=o140070120021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_7:12!3|MId=o140070120031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה שְׁלֹמֹה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Solomon|Ref=2CH_7:12!4|MId=o140070120041|Strong=8010 6-8 בַּלָּ֑יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2CH_7:12!5|MId=o140070120051|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_7:12!5|MId=o140070120051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 לָּ֑יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=night|Ref=2CH_7:12!5|MId=o140070120052|Strong=3915 9-10 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:12!6|MId=o140070120061|Strong=2050b 10 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2CH_7:12!6|MId=o140070120062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:140070120021;|Type=wayyiqtol 11-12 ל֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_7:12!7|MId=o140070120071|Strong=3807a 12 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2CH_7:12!7|MId=o140070120072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.heard|Ref=2CH_7:12!8|MId=o140070120081|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:140070120021;A1:140070120101;|Type=qatal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_7:12!9|MId=o140070120091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 תְּפִלָּתֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 תְּפִלָּת תְּפִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=prayer|Ref=2CH_7:12!10|MId=o140070120101|Strong=8605 16 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2CH_7:12!10|MId=o140070120102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-18 וּבָחַ֜רְתִּי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:12!11|MId=o140070120111|Strong=2050b 18 בָחַ֜רְתִּי בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 13 conj _ Gloss=I.have.chosen|Ref=2CH_7:12!11|MId=o140070120112|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:140070120021;|Type=qatal 19-21 בַּמָּק֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=2CH_7:12!12|MId=o140070120121|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_7:12!12|MId=o140070120121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מָּק֥וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=2CH_7:12!12|MId=o140070120122|Strong=4725 22-23 הַזֶּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2CH_7:12!13|MId=o140070120131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 זֶּ֛ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2CH_7:12!13|MId=o140070120132|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 24-25 לִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2CH_7:12!14|MId=o140070120141|Strong=3807a 25 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=myself|Ref=2CH_7:12!14|MId=o140070120142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26-27 לְבֵ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2CH_7:12!15|MId=o140070120151|Strong=3807a 27 בֵ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=a.house|Ref=2CH_7:12!15|MId=o140070120152|Strong=1004 28 זָֽבַח זֶבַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.sacrifice|Ref=2CH_7:12!16|MId=o140070120161|Strong=2077|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=2CH_7:12!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּרָא *he appeared* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | שָׁמַעְתִּי *I have heard* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | תְּפִלָּת *prayer* | | | | בָחַרְתִּי *I have chosen* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
