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 — king — and what happens in the verse to certain, 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 12 chapters of Daniel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לְאַשְׁפְּנַ֖ז רַ֣ב סָרִיסָ֑יו לְהָבִ֞יא מִבְּנֵ֧י יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וּמִזֶּ֥רַע הַמְּלוּכָ֖ה וּמִן־הַֽפַּרְתְּמִֽים׃ [And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz his chief officer, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, and of the seed royal, and of the nobles,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.2/) ## 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:DAN:2 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לְאַשְׁפְּנַ֖ז רַ֣ב סָרִיסָ֑יו לְהָבִ֞יא מִבְּנֵ֧י יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וּמִזֶּ֥רַע הַמְּלוּכָ֖ה וּמִן־הַֽפַּרְתְּמִֽים׃ # verse = DAN.1.3 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_1:3!1|MId=o270010030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DAN_1:3!1|MId=o270010030012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:270010030022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_1:3!2|MId=o270010030021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_1:3!2|MId=o270010030022|Strong=4428 5-6 לְאַשְׁפְּנַ֖ז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_1:3!3|MId=o270010030031|Strong=3807a 6 אַשְׁפְּנַ֖ז אַשְׁפְּנַז PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Ashpenaz|Ref=DAN_1:3!3|MId=o270010030032|Strong=0828 7 רַ֣ב רַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=the.chief|Ref=DAN_1:3!4|MId=o270010030041|Strong=7227a 8-9 סָרִיסָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 סָרִיסָ֑י סָרִיס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.officials|Ref=DAN_1:3!5|MId=o270010030051|Strong=5631 9 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_1:3!5|MId=o270010030052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-11 לְהָבִ֞יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_1:3!6|MId=o270010030061|Strong=3807a 11 הָבִ֞יא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 2 advcl _ Gloss=bring|Ref=DAN_1:3!6|MId=o270010030062|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:270010030032;A0:270010040011;|Type=infinitive_construct 12-13 מִבְּנֵ֧י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=DAN_1:3!7|MId=o270010030071|Strong=4480 13 בְּנֵ֧י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=DAN_1:3!7|MId=o270010030072|Strong=1121 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=DAN_1:3!8|MId=o270010030081|Strong=3478 15-17 וּמִזֶּ֥רַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_1:3!9|MId=o270010030091|Strong=2050b 16 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=DAN_1:3!9|MId=o270010030092|Strong=4480 17 זֶּ֥רַע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=of.the.offspring|Ref=DAN_1:3!9|MId=o270010030093|Strong=2233 18-19 הַמְּלוּכָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=DAN_1:3!10|MId=o270010030101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מְּלוּכָ֖ה מְלוּכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=royalty|Ref=DAN_1:3!10|MId=o270010030102|Strong=4410 20-21 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_1:3!11|MId=o270010030111|Strong=2050b 21 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=DAN_1:3!11|MId=o270010030112|Strong=4480 22-23 הַֽפַּרְתְּמִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_1:3!12|MId=o270010030121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 פַּרְתְּמִֽים פַּרְתְּמִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=nobles|Ref=DAN_1:3!12|MId=o270010030122|Strong=6579 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DAN_1:3!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | הָבִיא *bring* | infinitive construct · hiphil | | | | אַשְׁפְּנַז *Ashpenaz* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
