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 — thou, many — and what happens in the verse to words, book, knowledge, 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. וְאַתָּ֣ה דָֽנִיֵּ֗אל סְתֹ֧ם הַדְּבָרִ֛ים וַחֲתֹ֥ם הַסֵּ֖פֶר עַד־עֵ֣ת קֵ֑ץ יְשֹׁטְט֥וּ רַבִּ֖ים וְתִרְבֶּ֥ה הַדָּֽעַת׃ [But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.362/) ## 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:147 # text = וְאַתָּ֣ה דָֽנִיֵּ֗אל סְתֹ֧ם הַדְּבָרִ֛ים וַחֲתֹ֥ם הַסֵּ֖פֶר עַד־עֵ֣ת קֵ֑ץ יְשֹׁטְט֥וּ רַבִּ֖ים וְתִרְבֶּ֥ה הַדָּֽעַת׃ # verse = DAN.12.4 1-2 וְאַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_12:4!1|MId=o270120040011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_12:4!1|MId=o270120040012|Strong=0859|Type=personal 3 דָֽנִיֵּ֗אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 4 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Daniel|Ref=DAN_12:4!2|MId=o270120040021|Strong=1840 4 סְתֹ֧ם סָתַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=keep.secret|Ref=DAN_12:4!3|MId=o270120040031|Strong=5640|Frame=A0:270120040012;A1:270120040042;|Type=imperative 5-6 הַדְּבָרִ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_12:4!4|MId=o270120040041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 דְּבָרִ֛ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=words|Ref=DAN_12:4!4|MId=o270120040042|Strong=1697 7-8 וַחֲתֹ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_12:4!5|MId=o270120040051|Strong=2050b 8 חֲתֹ֥ם חָתַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 conj _ Gloss=seal.up|Ref=DAN_12:4!5|MId=o270120040052|Strong=2856|Frame=A0:270120040021;A1:270120040062;|Type=imperative 9-10 הַסֵּ֖פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_12:4!6|MId=o270120040061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 סֵּ֖פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=scroll|Ref=DAN_12:4!6|MId=o270120040062|Strong=5612 11 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=DAN_12:4!7|MId=o270120040071|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 12 עֵ֣ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=[the].time|Ref=DAN_12:4!8|MId=o270120040081|Strong=6256 13 קֵ֑ץ קֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].end|Ref=DAN_12:4!9|MId=o270120040091|Strong=7093 14 יְשֹׁטְט֥וּ שׁוּט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.rove.about|Ref=DAN_12:4!10|MId=o270120040101|Strong=7751|Frame=A0:270120040111;|Type=yiqtol 15 רַבִּ֖ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=many.[people]|Ref=DAN_12:4!11|MId=o270120040111|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 16-17 וְתִרְבֶּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_12:4!12|MId=o270120040121|Strong=2050b 17 תִרְבֶּ֥ה רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.will.increase|Ref=DAN_12:4!12|MId=o270120040122|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:270120040132;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 הַדָּֽעַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_12:4!13|MId=o270120040131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 דָּֽעַת דַּעַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=knowledge|Ref=DAN_12:4!13|MId=o270120040132|Strong=1847 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DAN_12:4!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | סְתֹם *keep secret* | imperative · qal | אַתָּה *you* | דְּבָרִים *words* | | | | חֲתֹם *seal up* | imperative · qal | דָֽנִיֵּאל *O Daniel* | סֵּפֶר *scroll* | | | | יְשֹׁטְטוּ *they will rove about* | yiqtol · polel | רַבִּים *many \[people\]* | | | | | תִרְבֶּה *it will increase* | yiqtol · qal | דָּֽעַת *knowledge* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
