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, three kings, fourth, Persia — and what happens in the verse to truth, Persia, riches, all, 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. וְעַתָּ֕ה אֱמֶ֖ת אַגִּ֣יד לָ֑ךְ הִנֵּה־עוֹד֩ שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה מְלָכִ֜ים עֹמְדִ֣ים לְפָרַ֗ס וְהָֽרְבִיעִי֙ יַעֲשִׁ֤יר עֹֽשֶׁר־גָּדוֹל֙ מִכֹּ֔ל וּכְחֶזְקָת֣וֹ בְעָשְׁר֔וֹ יָעִ֣יר הַכֹּ֔ל אֵ֖ת מַלְכ֥וּת יָוָֽן׃ [And now will I declare unto thee the truth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.314/) [Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all; and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.315/) ## 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:100 # text = וְעַתָּ֕ה אֱמֶ֖ת אַגִּ֣יד לָ֑ךְ הִנֵּה־עוֹד֩ שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה מְלָכִ֜ים עֹמְדִ֣ים לְפָרַ֗ס וְהָֽרְבִיעִי֙ יַעֲשִׁ֤יר עֹֽשֶׁר־גָּדוֹל֙ מִכֹּ֔ל וּכְחֶזְקָת֣וֹ בְעָשְׁר֔וֹ יָעִ֣יר הַכֹּ֔ל אֵ֖ת מַלְכ֥וּת יָוָֽן׃ # verse = DAN.11.2 1-2 וְעַתָּ֕ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_11:2!1|MId=o270110020011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֕ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=DAN_11:2!1|MId=o270110020012|Strong=6258 3 אֱמֶ֖ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=truth|Ref=DAN_11:2!2|MId=o270110020021|Strong=0571 4 אַגִּ֣יד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.tell|Ref=DAN_11:2!3|MId=o270110020031|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:270100180042;A0:270110020021;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_11:2!4|MId=o270110020041|Strong=3807a 6 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_11:2!4|MId=o270110020042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7 הִנֵּה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=DAN_11:2!5|MId=o270110020051|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 8 עוֹד֩ עוֹד ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=yet|Ref=DAN_11:2!6|MId=o270110020061|Strong=5750 9 שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=DAN_11:2!7|MId=o270110020071|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 10 מְלָכִ֜ים מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=kings|Ref=DAN_11:2!8|MId=o270110020081|Strong=4428 11 עֹמְדִ֣ים עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[will].arise|Ref=DAN_11:2!9|MId=o270110020091|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:270110020081;|Type=participle_active 12-13 לְפָרַ֗ס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DAN_11:2!10|MId=o270110020101|Strong=3807a 13 פָרַ֗ס פָּרַס PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Persia|Ref=DAN_11:2!10|MId=o270110020102|Strong=6539 14-16 וְהָֽרְבִיעִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_11:2!11|MId=o270110020111|Strong=2050b 15 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the.fourth|Ref=DAN_11:2!11|MId=o270110020112|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 רְבִיעִי֙ רְבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=[king]|Ref=DAN_11:2!11|MId=o270110020113|Strong=7243|Type=ordinal_number 17 יַעֲשִׁ֤יר עָשַׁר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.gain.wealth|Ref=DAN_11:2!12|MId=o270110020121|Strong=6238|Frame=A0:270110020113;|Type=yiqtol 18 עֹֽשֶׁר־ עֹשֶׁר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=wealth|Ref=DAN_11:2!13|MId=o270110020131|Strong=6239|SpaceAfter=No 19 גָּדוֹל֙ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=DAN_11:2!14|MId=o270110020141|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 20-21 מִכֹּ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=DAN_11:2!15|MId=o270110020151|Strong=4480 21 כֹּ֔ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=than.everyone|Ref=DAN_11:2!15|MId=o270110020152|Strong=3605 22-25 וּכְחֶזְקָת֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_11:2!16|MId=o270110020161|Strong=2050b 23 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=DAN_11:2!16|MId=o270110020162|Strong=3509a 24 חֶזְקָת חֶזְקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_11:2!16|MId=o270110020163|Strong=2393 25 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.strength|Ref=DAN_11:2!16|MId=o270110020164|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 בְעָשְׁר֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DAN_11:2!17|MId=o270110020171|Strong=0871a 27 עָשְׁר עֹשֶׁר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=wealth|Ref=DAN_11:2!17|MId=o270110020172|Strong=6239 28 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_11:2!17|MId=o270110020173|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29 יָעִ֣יר עוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.stir.up|Ref=DAN_11:2!18|MId=o270110020181|Strong=5782|Frame=AA:270110020113;A0:270110020192;|Type=yiqtol 30-31 הַכֹּ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_11:2!19|MId=o270110020191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 כֹּ֔ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obj _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=DAN_11:2!19|MId=o270110020192|Strong=3605 32 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=DAN_11:2!20|MId=o270110020201|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 33 מַלְכ֥וּת מַלְכוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=the.kingdom|Ref=DAN_11:2!21|MId=o270110020211|Strong=4438 34 יָוָֽן יָוָן PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Greece|Ref=DAN_11:2!22|MId=o270110020221|Strong=3120|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=DAN_11:2!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
