The page gives the verse in Biblical Aramaic as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Aramaic — and its pragmatics: who acts — God, secret, dream, Thy — and what happens in the verse to secrets, end, these, 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. בְּרַ֡ם אִיתַ֞י אֱלָ֤הּ בִּשְׁמַיָּא֙ גָּלֵ֣א רָזִ֔ין וְהוֹדַ֗ע לְמַלְכָּא֙ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּ֔ר מָ֛ה דִּ֥י לֶהֱוֵ֖א בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית יוֹמַיָּ֑א חֶלְמָ֨ךְ וְחֶזְוֵ֥י רֵאשָׁ֛ךְ עַֽל־מִשְׁכְּבָ֖ךְ דְּנָ֥ה הֽוּא׃פ [but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and He hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the end of days.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.50/) [Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.51/) ## The tree {#tree} This verse is in Biblical Aramaic, as the book has it here; its tree is MACULA's Aramaic tree. Right to left, as it 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-arc:DAN:24 # text = בְּרַ֡ם אִיתַ֞י אֱלָ֤הּ בִּשְׁמַיָּא֙ גָּלֵ֣א רָזִ֔ין וְהוֹדַ֗ע לְמַלְכָּא֙ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּ֔ר מָ֛ה דִּ֥י לֶהֱוֵ֖א בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית יוֹמַיָּ֑א חֶלְמָ֨ךְ וְחֶזְוֵ֥י רֵאשָׁ֛ךְ עַֽל־מִשְׁכְּבָ֖ךְ דְּנָ֥ה הֽוּא׃פ # verse = DAN.2.28 1 בְּרַ֡ם בְּרַם CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=nevertheless|Ref=DAN_2:28!1|MId=o270020280011|Strong=1297|Lang=arc 2 אִיתַ֞י אִיתַי NOUN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=there|Ref=DAN_2:28!2|MId=o270020280021|Strong=0383|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation 3 אֱלָ֤הּ אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].a.God|Ref=DAN_2:28!3|MId=o270020280031|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 4-6 בִּשְׁמַיָּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_2:28!4|MId=o270020280041|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 5 שְׁמַיּ שָׁמַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:28!4|MId=o270020280042|Strong=8065|Lang=arc 6 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=DAN_2:28!4|MId=o270020280043|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 7 גָּלֵ֣א גלה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[who].reveals|Ref=DAN_2:28!5|MId=o270020280051|Strong=1541|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020280031;A1:270020280061;|Type=participle_active 8 רָזִ֔ין רָז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=secrets|Ref=DAN_2:28!6|MId=o270020280061|Strong=7328|Lang=arc 9-10 וְהוֹדַ֗ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:28!7|MId=o270020280071|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 10 הוֹדַ֗ע יְדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.has.made.known|Ref=DAN_2:28!7|MId=o270020280072|Strong=3046|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020280031;A1:270020280101;|Type=qatal 11-13 לְמַלְכָּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_2:28!8|MId=o270020280081|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 12 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:28!8|MId=o270020280082|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 13 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_2:28!8|MId=o270020280083|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 14 נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּ֔ר נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר PROPN _ _ 12 appos _ Gloss=Nebuchadnezzar|Ref=DAN_2:28!9|MId=o270020280091|Strong=5020|Lang=arc 15 מָ֛ה מָה PRON _ Number=Sing|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=what|Ref=DAN_2:28!10|MId=o270020280101|Strong=4101|Lang=arc|Type=indefinite 16 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DAN_2:28!11|MId=o270020280111|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 17 לֶהֱוֵ֖א הוה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=DAN_2:28!12|MId=o270020280121|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020280101;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=DAN_2:28!13|MId=o270020280131|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 19 אַחֲרִ֣ית אַחֲרִי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=DAN_2:28!13|MId=o270020280132|Strong=0320|Lang=arc 20-21 יוֹמַיָּ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 יוֹמַיּ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_2:28!14|MId=o270020280141|Strong=3118|Lang=arc 21 ָ֑א א DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=DAN_2:28!14|MId=o270020280142|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 22-23 חֶלְמָ֨ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 חֶלְמ חֵלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 dislocated _ Gloss=dream|Ref=DAN_2:28!15|MId=o270020280151|Strong=2493|Lang=arc 23 ָ֨ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_2:28!15|MId=o270020280152|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 24-25 וְחֶזְוֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:28!16|MId=o270020280161|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 25 חֶזְוֵ֥י חֱזוּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=the.visions|Ref=DAN_2:28!16|MId=o270020280162|Strong=2376|Lang=arc 26-27 רֵאשָׁ֛ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 רֵאשׁ רֵאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_2:28!17|MId=o270020280171|Strong=7217|Lang=arc 27 ָ֛ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.head|Ref=DAN_2:28!17|MId=o270020280172|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 28 עַֽל־ עַל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DAN_2:28!18|MId=o270020280181|Strong=5922|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 מִשְׁכְּבָ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 מִשְׁכְּב מִשְׁכַּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nmod _ Gloss=bed|Ref=DAN_2:28!19|MId=o270020280191|Strong=4903|Lang=arc 30 ָ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_2:28!19|MId=o270020280192|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 31 דְּנָ֥ה דְּנָה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].this|Ref=DAN_2:28!20|MId=o270020280201|Strong=1836|Lang=arc|Type=demonstrative 32 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ PronType=Prs 31 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=DAN_2:28!21|MId=o270020280211|Strong=1932|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:28!21|SpaceAfter=No 34 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:28!21 ``` ##
