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 — I — and what happens in the verse to heaven, locust, land, pestilence, 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. הֵ֣ן אֶֽעֱצֹ֤ר הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה מָטָ֔ר וְהֵן־אֲצַוֶּ֥ה עַל־חָגָ֖ב לֶאֱכ֣וֹל הָאָ֑רֶץ וְאִם־אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח דֶּ֖בֶר בְּעַמִּֽי׃ [If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.151/) ## 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:142 # text = הֵ֣ן אֶֽעֱצֹ֤ר הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה מָטָ֔ר וְהֵן־אֲצַוֶּ֥ה עַל־חָגָ֖ב לֶאֱכ֣וֹל הָאָ֑רֶץ וְאִם־אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח דֶּ֖בֶר בְּעַמִּֽי׃ # verse = 2CH.7.13 1 הֵ֣ן הֵן INTJ _ _ 2 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2CH_7:13!1|MId=o140070130011|Strong=2005|Type=demonstrative 2 אֶֽעֱצֹ֤ר עָצַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.shut.up|Ref=2CH_7:13!2|MId=o140070130021|Strong=6113|Frame=A0:140070120021;A1:140070130032;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_7:13!3|MId=o140070130031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 שָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=2CH_7:13!3|MId=o140070130032|Strong=8064 5-6 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:13!4|MId=o140070130041|Strong=2050b 6 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_7:13!4|MId=o140070130042|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 יִהְיֶ֣ה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=2CH_7:13!5|MId=o140070130051|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:140070130061;|Type=yiqtol 8 מָטָ֔ר מָטַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=rain|Ref=2CH_7:13!6|MId=o140070130061|Strong=4306 9-10 וְהֵן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:13!7|MId=o140070130071|Strong=2050b 10 הֵן־ הֵן INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2CH_7:13!7|MId=o140070130072|Strong=2005|Type=interjection 11 אֲצַוֶּ֥ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.command|Ref=2CH_7:13!8|MId=o140070130081|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:140070120021;|Type=yiqtol 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_7:13!9|MId=o140070130091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 13 חָגָ֖ב חָגָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=[the].grasshopper|Ref=2CH_7:13!10|MId=o140070130101|Strong=2284 14-15 לֶאֱכ֣וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לֶ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_7:13!11|MId=o140070130111|Strong=3807a 15 אֱכ֣וֹל אָכַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 xcomp _ Gloss=devour|Ref=2CH_7:13!11|MId=o140070130112|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:140070130101;A1:140070130122;|Type=infinitive_construct 16-17 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_7:13!12|MId=o140070130121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=land|Ref=2CH_7:13!12|MId=o140070130122|Strong=0776 18-19 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:13!13|MId=o140070130131|Strong=2050b 19 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=2CH_7:13!13|MId=o140070130132|Strong=0518 20 אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.send|Ref=2CH_7:13!14|MId=o140070130141|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:140070120021;A1:140070130151;|Type=yiqtol 21 דֶּ֖בֶר דֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=pestilence|Ref=2CH_7:13!15|MId=o140070130151|Strong=1698 22-24 בְּעַמִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=2CH_7:13!16|MId=o140070130161|Strong=0871a 23 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=2CH_7:13!16|MId=o140070130162|Strong=5971 24 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2CH_7:13!16|MId=o140070130163|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=2CH_7:13!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶֽעֱצֹר *I will shut up* | yiqtol · qal | | שָּׁמַיִם *heavens* | | | | **not** יִהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | מָטָר *rain* | | | | | אֲצַוֶּה *I will command* | yiqtol · piel | | | | | | אֱכוֹל *devour* | infinitive construct · qal | חָגָב *\[the\] grasshopper* | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | אֲשַׁלַּח *I will send* | yiqtol · piel | | דֶּבֶר *pestilence* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
