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 — we, God, Shadrach — and what happens in the verse to God, us, burning fiery furnace, 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. הֵ֣ן אִיתַ֗י אֱלָהַ֙נָא֙ דִּֽי־אֲנַ֣חְנָא פָֽלְחִ֔ין יָכִ֖ל לְשֵׁיזָבוּתַ֑נָא מִן־אַתּ֨וּן נוּרָ֧א יָקִֽדְתָּ֛א וּמִן־יְדָ֥ךְ מַלְכָּ֖א יְשֵׁיזִֽב׃ [If our God whom we serve is able to deliver us, He will deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and out of thy hand, O king.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.91/) ## 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:62 # text = הֵ֣ן אִיתַ֗י אֱלָהַ֙נָא֙ דִּֽי־אֲנַ֣חְנָא פָֽלְחִ֔ין יָכִ֖ל לְשֵׁיזָבוּתַ֑נָא מִן־אַתּ֨וּן נוּרָ֧א יָקִֽדְתָּ֛א וּמִן־יְדָ֥ךְ מַלְכָּ֖א יְשֵׁיזִֽב׃ # verse = DAN.3.17 1 הֵ֣ן הֵן SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=DAN_3:17!1|MId=o270030170011|Strong=2006|Lang=arc 2 אִיתַ֗י אִיתַי NOUN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=DAN_3:17!2|MId=o270030170021|Strong=0383|Lang=arc|Type=affirmation 3-4 אֱלָהַ֙נָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֱלָה אֱלָהּ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].our|Ref=DAN_3:17!3|MId=o270030170031|Strong=0426|Lang=arc 4 ַ֙נָא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=God|Ref=DAN_3:17!3|MId=o270030170032|Strong=4996b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 5 דִּֽי־ דִּי SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=DAN_3:17!4|MId=o270030170041|Strong=1768|Lang=arc|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 6 אֲנַ֣חְנָא אֲנַחְנָא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=DAN_3:17!5|MId=o270030170051|Strong=0586|Lang=arc|Type=personal 7 פָֽלְחִ֔ין פְּלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Plur 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].paying.reverence|Ref=DAN_3:17!6|MId=o270030170061|Strong=6399|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030170051;A1:270030170031;|Type=participle_active 8 יָכִ֖ל יְכִל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 advcl _ Gloss=[is].being.able|Ref=DAN_3:17!7|MId=o270030170071|Strong=3202|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030170031;|Type=yiqtol 9-11 לְשֵׁיזָבוּתַ֑נָא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_3:17!8|MId=o270030170081|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 10 שֵׁיזָבוּת יזב VERB _ HebBinyan=SHAPHEL 8 xcomp _ Gloss=deliver|Ref=DAN_3:17!8|MId=o270030170082|Strong=7804|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030170031;A1:270030170083;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 ַ֑נָא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=us|Ref=DAN_3:17!8|MId=o270030170083|Strong=4996b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 12 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_3:17!9|MId=o270030170091|Strong=4481|Lang=arc|SpaceAfter=No 13 אַתּ֨וּן אַתּוּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the.furnace|Ref=DAN_3:17!10|MId=o270030170101|Strong=0861|Lang=arc 14-15 נוּרָ֧א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 נוּר נוּר NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_3:17!11|MId=o270030170111|Strong=5135|Lang=arc 15 ָ֧א א DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the.fire|Ref=DAN_3:17!11|MId=o270030170112|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 16-17 יָקִֽדְתָּ֛א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 יָקִֽדְתּ יְקַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DAN_3:17!12|MId=o270030170121|Strong=3345|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030170111;|Type=participle_active 17 ָ֛א א SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=burning|Ref=DAN_3:17!12|MId=o270030170122|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 18-19 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_3:17!13|MId=o270030170131|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 19 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DAN_3:17!13|MId=o270030170132|Strong=4481|Lang=arc 20-21 יְדָ֥ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 יְד יַד NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 24 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=DAN_3:17!14|MId=o270030170141|Strong=3028|Lang=arc 21 ָ֥ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_3:17!14|MId=o270030170142|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 22-23 מַלְכָּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=O|Ref=DAN_3:17!15|MId=o270030170151|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 23 ָ֖א א DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_3:17!15|MId=o270030170152|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 24 יְשֵׁיזִֽב יזב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=SHAPHEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.deliver|Ref=DAN_3:17!16|MId=o270030170161|Strong=7804|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270030170031;A1:270030160021;270030160031;270030160042;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=DAN_3:17!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} No stored speech act for this sentence. | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | פָֽלְחִין *\[are\] paying reverence* | participle active · peal | אֲנַחְנָא *we* | אֱלָה *\[is\] our* | | | | יָכִל *\[is\] being able* | yiqtol · peal | אֱלָה *\[is\] our* | | | | | שֵׁיזָבוּת *deliver* | infinitive construct · shaphel | אֱלָה *\[is\] our* | ַנָא *us* | | | | יָקִֽדְתּ *(the)* | participle active · peal | נוּר *of* | | | | | יְשֵׁיזִֽב *he will deliver* | yiqtol · shaphel | אֱלָה *\[is\] our* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
