# Daniel 10:16 דָּנִיֵּאל

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** one, I, pains, my · **What happens:** touch, open, speak, say, stand, come · **To what, where:** lips, mouth, strength · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Daniel 10:16 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — one, I, pains, my — and what happens in the verse to lips, mouth, strength, 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.

[And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.307/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
