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, name, eyes, My — and what happens in the verse to house, 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. וְעַתָּ֗ה בָּחַ֤רְתִּי וְהִקְדַּ֙שְׁתִּי֙ אֶת־הַבַּ֣יִת הַזֶּ֔ה לִהְיוֹת־שְׁמִ֥י שָׁ֖ם עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם וְהָי֨וּ עֵינַ֧י וְלִבִּ֛י שָׁ֖ם כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ [For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that My name may be there for ever; and Mine eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.154/) ## 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:145 # text = וְעַתָּ֗ה בָּחַ֤רְתִּי וְהִקְדַּ֙שְׁתִּי֙ אֶת־הַבַּ֣יִת הַזֶּ֔ה לִהְיוֹת־שְׁמִ֥י שָׁ֖ם עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם וְהָי֨וּ עֵינַ֧י וְלִבִּ֛י שָׁ֖ם כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ # verse = 2CH.7.16 1-2 וְעַתָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:16!1|MId=o140070160011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=2CH_7:16!1|MId=o140070160012|Strong=6258 3 בָּחַ֤רְתִּי בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.chosen|Ref=2CH_7:16!2|MId=o140070160021|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:140070120021;A1:140070160052;|Type=qatal 4-5 וְהִקְדַּ֙שְׁתִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:16!3|MId=o140070160031|Strong=2050b 5 הִקְדַּ֙שְׁתִּי֙ קָדַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.have.consecrated|Ref=2CH_7:16!3|MId=o140070160032|Strong=6942|Frame=AA:140070120021;A0:140070160052;|Type=weqatal 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2CH_7:16!4|MId=o140070160041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הַבַּ֣יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_7:16!5|MId=o140070160051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 בַּ֣יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=house|Ref=2CH_7:16!5|MId=o140070160052|Strong=1004 9-10 הַזֶּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2CH_7:16!6|MId=o140070160061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 זֶּ֔ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2CH_7:16!6|MId=o140070160062|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 11-12 לִהְיוֹת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_7:16!7|MId=o140070160071|Strong=3807a 12 הְיוֹת־ הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 17 cop _ Gloss=be|Ref=2CH_7:16!7|MId=o140070160072|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:140070160081;|Type=infinitive_construct 13-14 שְׁמִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=2CH_7:16!8|MId=o140070160081|Strong=8034 14 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2CH_7:16!8|MId=o140070160082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=2CH_7:16!9|MId=o140070160091|Strong=8033 16 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=2CH_7:16!10|MId=o140070160101|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 17 עוֹלָ֑ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=2CH_7:16!11|MId=o140070160111|Strong=5769 18-19 וְהָי֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:16!12|MId=o140070160121|Strong=2050b 19 הָי֨וּ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=2CH_7:16!12|MId=o140070160122|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:140070160131;140070160142;|Type=weqatal 20-21 עֵינַ֧י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 עֵינ עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 19 nsubj _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=2CH_7:16!13|MId=o140070160131|Strong=5869 21 ַ֧י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2CH_7:16!13|MId=o140070160132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22-24 וְלִבִּ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_7:16!14|MId=o140070160141|Strong=2050b 23 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=2CH_7:16!14|MId=o140070160142|Strong=3820 24 ִ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2CH_7:16!14|MId=o140070160143|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=2CH_7:16!15|MId=o140070160151|Strong=8033 26 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=2CH_7:16!16|MId=o140070160161|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הַיָּמִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2CH_7:16!17|MId=o140070160171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 יָּמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=days|Ref=2CH_7:16!17|MId=o140070160172|Strong=3117 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=2CH_7:16!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּחַרְתִּי *I have chosen* | qatal · qal | | בַּיִת *house* | | | | הִקְדַּשְׁתִּי *I have consecrated* | weqatal · hiphil | בַּיִת *house* | | | | | הְיוֹת־ *be* | infinitive construct · qal | שְׁמ *name* | | | | | הָיוּ *they will be* | weqatal · qal | עֵינ *eyes* + לִבּ *heart* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
