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 — Nebuchadnezzar, it, ye, I — and what happens in the verse to gods, golden image, 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. עָנֵ֤ה נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּר֙ וְאָמַ֣ר לְה֔וֹן הַצְדָּ֕א שַׁדְרַ֥ךְ מֵישַׁ֖ךְ וַעֲבֵ֣ד נְג֑וֹ עֲבֵ֣ד נְג֑וֹ לֵֽאלָהַ֗י לָ֤א אִֽיתֵיכוֹן֙ פָּֽלְחִ֔ין וּלְצֶ֧לֶם דַּהֲבָ֛א דִּ֥י הֲקֵ֖ימֶת לָ֥א סָֽגְדִֽין׃ [Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them: 'Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.88/) ## 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:59 # text = עָנֵ֤ה נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּר֙ וְאָמַ֣ר לְה֔וֹן הַצְדָּ֕א שַׁדְרַ֥ךְ מֵישַׁ֖ךְ וַעֲבֵ֣ד נְג֑וֹ עֲבֵ֣ד נְג֑וֹ לֵֽאלָהַ֗י לָ֤א אִֽיתֵיכוֹן֙ פָּֽלְחִ֔ין וּלְצֶ֧לֶם דַּהֲבָ֛א דִּ֥י הֲקֵ֖ימֶת לָ֥א סָֽגְדִֽין׃ # verse = DAN.3.14 1 עָנֵ֤ה עֲנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].replying|Ref=DAN_3:14!1|MId=o270030140011|Strong=6032|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030140021;|Type=participle_active 2 נְבֻֽכַדְנֶצַּר֙ נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר PROPN _ _ 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Nebuchadnezzar|Ref=DAN_3:14!2|MId=o270030140021|Strong=5020|Lang=arc 3-4 וְאָמַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and.[was]|Ref=DAN_3:14!3|MId=o270030140031|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 4 אָמַ֣ר אֲמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=saying|Ref=DAN_3:14!3|MId=o270030140032|Strong=0560|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030140021;|Type=participle_active 5-6 לְה֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_3:14!4|MId=o270030140041|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 6 ְה֔וֹן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DAN_3:14!4|MId=o270030140042|Strong=1952a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 7-8 הַצְדָּ֕א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ PART _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=|Ref=DAN_3:14!5|MId=o270030140051|Strong=1886f|Lang=arc|Type=interrogative 8 צְדָּ֕א צְדָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 ccomp _ Gloss=purpose?|Ref=DAN_3:14!5|MId=o270030140052|Strong=6656|Lang=arc 9 שַׁדְרַ֥ךְ שַׁדְרַךְ PROPN _ _ 8 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Shadrach|Ref=DAN_3:14!6|MId=o270030140061|Strong=7715|Lang=arc 10 מֵישַׁ֖ךְ מֵישַׁךְ PROPN _ _ 9 conj _ Gloss=Meshach|Ref=DAN_3:14!7|MId=o270030140071|Strong=4336|Lang=arc 11-12 וַעֲבֵ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=|Ref=DAN_3:14!8|MId=o270030140081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 12 עֲבֵ֣ד עֲבֵד PROPN _ _ 9 conj _ Gloss=and.Abednego|Ref=DAN_3:14!8|MId=o270030140082|Lang=arc 13 נְג֑וֹ נְגוֹ PROPN _ _ 12 flat:name _ Ref=DAN_3:14!8 14 עֲבֵ֣ד עֲבֵד PROPN _ _ 9 conj _ Gloss=and.Abednego|Ref=DAN_3:14!9|MId=o270030140091|Lang=arc 15 נְג֑וֹ נְגוֹ PROPN _ _ 14 flat:name _ Ref=DAN_3:14!9 16-18 לֵֽאלָהַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_3:14!10|MId=o270030140101|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 17 אלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=DAN_3:14!10|MId=o270030140102|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 18 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=DAN_3:14!10|MId=o270030140103|Strong=2967b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 19 לָ֤א לָא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_3:14!11|MId=o270030140111|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative 20-21 אִֽיתֵיכוֹן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אִֽיתֵי אִיתַי NOUN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=DAN_3:14!12|MId=o270030140121|Strong=0383|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation 21 כוֹן֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_3:14!12|MId=o270030140122|Strong=3561a|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 22 פָּֽלְחִ֔ין פְּלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].paying.reverence|Ref=DAN_3:14!13|MId=o270030140131|Strong=6399|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030140112;|Type=participle_active 23-25 וּלְצֶ֧לֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_3:14!14|MId=o270030140141|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_3:14!14|MId=o270030140142|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 25 צֶ֧לֶם צְלֵם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=the.image|Ref=DAN_3:14!14|MId=o270030140143|Strong=6755|Lang=arc 26-27 דַּהֲבָ֛א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 דַּהֲב דְּהַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=DAN_3:14!15|MId=o270030140151|Strong=1722|Lang=arc 27 ָ֛א א DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=gold|Ref=DAN_3:14!15|MId=o270030140152|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 28 דִּ֥י דִּי SCONJ _ _ 29 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DAN_3:14!16|MId=o270030140161|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative 29 הֲקֵ֖ימֶת קוּם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HAPHEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 25 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.have.set.up|Ref=DAN_3:14!17|MId=o270030140171|Strong=6966|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030140021;A1:270030140133;|Type=qatal 30 לָ֥א לָא ADV _ _ 31 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_3:14!18|MId=o270030140181|Strong=3809|Lang=arc|Type=negative 31 סָֽגְדִֽין סְגִד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=[you.are].paying.homage|Ref=DAN_3:14!19|MId=o270030140191|Strong=5457|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030140061;270030140071;270030140082;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=DAN_3:14!19 ``` ##
