# Daniel 2:43 דָּנִיֵּאל

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thou, toes, iron · **What happens:** see, mix, mingle, not cleave, not mingle · **To what, where:** iron, toes, one

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Daniel 2:43 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 — thou, toes, iron — and what happens in the verse to iron, toes, one, 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 whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves by the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.67/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
