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 — Solomon, children — and what happens in the verse to servants, men, 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. וּמִן־בְּנֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא־נָתַ֧ן שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה לַעֲבָדִ֖ים לִמְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ כִּי־הֵ֜מָּה אַנְשֵׁ֤י מִלְחָמָה֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י שָׁלִישָׁ֔יו וְשָׂרֵ֥י רִכְבּ֖וֹ וּפָרָשָֽׁיו׃פ [But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.169/) ## 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:160 # text = וּמִן־בְּנֵי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹא־נָתַ֧ן שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה לַעֲבָדִ֖ים לִמְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ כִּי־הֵ֜מָּה אַנְשֵׁ֤י מִלְחָמָה֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י שָׁלִישָׁ֔יו וְשָׂרֵ֥י רִכְבּ֖וֹ וּפָרָשָֽׁיו׃פ # verse = 2CH.8.9 1-2 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_8:9!1|MId=o140080090011|Strong=2050b 2 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=any.of|Ref=2CH_8:9!1|MId=o140080090012|Strong=4480 3 בְּנֵי֙ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=2CH_8:9!2|MId=o140080090021|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2CH_8:9!3|MId=o140080090031|Strong=3478 5 אֲ֠שֶׁר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=2CH_8:9!4|MId=o140080090041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 6 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2CH_8:9!5|MId=o140080090051|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 7 נָתַ֧ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=2CH_8:9!6|MId=o140080090061|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:140080090071;A1:140080090021;|Type=qatal 8 שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה שְׁלֹמֹה PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Solomon|Ref=2CH_8:9!7|MId=o140080090071|Strong=8010 9-10 לַעֲבָדִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=2CH_8:9!8|MId=o140080090081|Strong=3807a 10 עֲבָדִ֖ים עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=slaves|Ref=2CH_8:9!8|MId=o140080090082|Strong=5650 11-13 לִמְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2CH_8:9!9|MId=o140080090091|Strong=3807a 12 מְלַאכְתּ מְלֶאכֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=work|Ref=2CH_8:9!9|MId=o140080090092|Strong=4399 13 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_8:9!9|MId=o140080090093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2CH_8:9!10|MId=o140080090101|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 15 הֵ֜מָּה הֵמָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=2CH_8:9!11|MId=o140080090111|Strong=1992|Type=personal 16 אַנְשֵׁ֤י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 advcl _ Gloss=[were].men|Ref=2CH_8:9!12|MId=o140080090121|Strong=0376 17 מִלְחָמָה֙ מִלְחָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.war|Ref=2CH_8:9!13|MId=o140080090131|Strong=4421 18-19 וְשָׂרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_8:9!14|MId=o140080090141|Strong=2050b 19 שָׂרֵ֣י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=the.commanders|Ref=2CH_8:9!14|MId=o140080090142|Strong=8269 20-21 שָׁלִישָׁ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 שָׁלִישָׁ֔י שָׁלִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.officers|Ref=2CH_8:9!15|MId=o140080090151|Strong=7991 21 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_8:9!15|MId=o140080090152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְשָׂרֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_8:9!16|MId=o140080090161|Strong=2050b 23 שָׂרֵ֥י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=the.commanders|Ref=2CH_8:9!16|MId=o140080090162|Strong=8269 24-25 רִכְבּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 רִכְבּ רֶכֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.chariotry|Ref=2CH_8:9!17|MId=o140080090171|Strong=7393 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_8:9!17|MId=o140080090172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 וּפָרָשָֽׁיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_8:9!18|MId=o140080090181|Strong=2050b 27 פָרָשָֽׁי פָּרָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 conj _ Gloss=horsemen|Ref=2CH_8:9!18|MId=o140080090182|Strong=6571 28 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_8:9!18|MId=o140080090183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=2CH_8:9!18|SpaceAfter=No 30 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=2CH_8:9!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** נָתַן *he made* | qatal · qal | שְׁלֹמֹה *Solomon* | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
