Daniel 2:38 in Biblical Aramaic with its dependency tree, JPS 1 --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/DAN.2.38/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Daniel](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/DAN/) / [chapter 2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/DAN/2/) / 2:38 # Daniel 2:38 דָּנִיֵּאל **Who acts:** children, man, thee, thou · **What happens:** dwell, give, make, rule, be · **To what, where:** children, hand, thee, head This is Daniel 2:38 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — children, man, thee, thou — and what happens in the verse to children, hand, thee, head, 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. וּבְכָל־דִּ֣י דָֽיְרִ֣ין בְּֽנֵי־אֲ֠נָשָׁא חֵיוַ֨ת בָּרָ֤א וְעוֹף־שְׁמַיָּא֙ יְהַ֣ב בִּידָ֔ךְ וְהַשְׁלְטָ֖ךְ בְּכָלְּה֑וֹן אַנְתְּה־ה֔וּארֵאשָׁ֖ה דִּ֥י דַהֲבָֽא׃ [and wheresoever the children of men, the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the heaven dwell, hath He given them into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all; thou art the head of gold.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.62/) ## 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:34 # text = וּבְכָל־דִּ֣י דָֽיְרִ֣ין בְּֽנֵי־אֲ֠נָשָׁא חֵיוַ֨ת בָּרָ֤א וְעוֹף־שְׁמַיָּא֙ יְהַ֣ב בִּידָ֔ךְ וְהַשְׁלְטָ֖ךְ בְּכָלְּה֑וֹן אַנְתְּה־ה֔וּארֵאשָׁ֖ה דִּ֥י דַהֲבָֽא׃ # verse = DAN.2.38 1-3 וּבְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:38!1|MId=o270020380011|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 2 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_2:38!1|MId=o270020380012|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 3 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DAN_2:38!1|MId=o270020380013|Strong=3606|Lang=arc 4 דִּ֣י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DAN_2:38!2|MId=o270020380021|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 5 דָֽיְרִ֣ין דּוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[they.are].dwelling|Ref=DAN_2:38!4|MId=o270020380041|Strong=1753|Lang=arc|Type=participle_active 6 בְּֽנֵי־ בַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=DAN_2:38!5|MId=o270020380051|Strong=1123|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 אֲ֠נָשָׁא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲ֠נָשׁ אֱנָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=DAN_2:38!6|MId=o270020380061|Strong=0606|Lang=arc 8 ָא א DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=DAN_2:38!6|MId=o270020380062|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 9 חֵיוַ֨ת חֵיוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=the.animal[s]|Ref=DAN_2:38!7|MId=o270020380071|Strong=2423|Lang=arc 10-11 בָּרָ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בָּר בַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_2:38!8|MId=o270020380081|Strong=1251|Lang=arc 11 ָ֤א א DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the.field|Ref=DAN_2:38!8|MId=o270020380082|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 12-13 וְעוֹף־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:38!9|MId=o270020380091|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 13 עוֹף־ עוֹף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=the.bird[s]|Ref=DAN_2:38!9|MId=o270020380092|Strong=5776|Lang=arc 14-15 שְׁמַיָּא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 שְׁמַיּ שָׁמַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_2:38!10|MId=o270020380101|Strong=8065|Lang=arc 15 ָא֙ א DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=DAN_2:38!10|MId=o270020380102|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 16 יְהַ֣ב יְהַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=DAN_2:38!11|MId=o270020380111|Strong=3052|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020370061;A1:270020380051;270020380071;270020380092;|Type=qatal 17-19 בִּידָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_2:38!12|MId=o270020380121|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 18 יד יַד NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=DAN_2:38!12|MId=o270020380122|Strong=3028|Lang=arc 19 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_2:38!12|MId=o270020380123|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 20-22 וְהַשְׁלְטָ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_2:38!13|MId=o270020380131|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 21 הַשְׁלְט שְׁלֵט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DAN_2:38!13|MId=o270020380132|Strong=7981|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270020370061;A1:270020380133;|Type=qatal 22 ָ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=has.made.you.ruler|Ref=DAN_2:38!13|MId=o270020380133|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 23-25 בְּכָלְּה֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=DAN_2:38!14|MId=o270020380141|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 24 כָלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DAN_2:38!14|MId=o270020380142|Strong=3606|Lang=arc 25 ְה֑וֹן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=DAN_2:38!14|MId=o270020380143|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 26 אַנְתְּה־ אַנְתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_2:38!15|MId=o270020380151|Strong=0607|Lang=arc|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 27-29 ה֔וּארֵאשָׁ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 ה֔וּא הוּא PRON _ PronType=Prs 16 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].it|Ref=DAN_2:38!16|MId=o270020380161|Strong=1932|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation 28 רֵאשׁ רֵאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 appos _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_2:38!17|MId=o270020380171|Strong=7217|Lang=arc 29 ָ֖ה ה DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=head|Ref=DAN_2:38!17|MId=o270020380172|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 30 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=(diy).of|Ref=DAN_2:38!18|MId=o270020380181|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 31-32 דַהֲבָֽא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 דַהֲב דְּהַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 acl:relcl _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_2:38!19|MId=o270020380191|Strong=1722|Lang=arc 32 ָֽא א DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=gold|Ref=DAN_2:38!19|MId=o270020380192|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DAN_2:38!19 ``` ##
