# Daniel 12:7 דָּנִיֵּאל

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, man, river, waters, end · **What happens:** hear, clothe, be, lift up, swear, live · **To what, where:** man, waters, right hand, end, power, pieces

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Daniel 12:7 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 — I, man, river, waters, end — and what happens in the verse to man, waters, right hand, end, power, pieces, 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 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.365/)

## 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.
