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 — you, counsel — and what happens in the verse to counsel, sins, mercy, poor, 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. לָהֵ֣ן מַלְכָּ֗א מִלְכִּי֙ יִשְׁפַּ֣ר עֲלָ֔ךְ וַחֲטָאָךְ֙ בְּצִדְקָ֣ה פְרֻ֔ק וַעֲוָיָתָ֖ךְ בְּמִחַ֣ן עֲנָ֑יִן הֵ֛ן תֶּהֱוֵ֥א אַרְכָ֖ה לִשְׁלֵוְתָֽךְ׃ [Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by almsgiving, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy prosperity.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.133/) ## 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:102 # text = לָהֵ֣ן מַלְכָּ֗א מִלְכִּי֙ יִשְׁפַּ֣ר עֲלָ֔ךְ וַחֲטָאָךְ֙ בְּצִדְקָ֣ה פְרֻ֔ק וַעֲוָיָתָ֖ךְ בְּמִחַ֣ן עֲנָ֑יִן הֵ֛ן תֶּהֱוֵ֥א אַרְכָ֖ה לִשְׁלֵוְתָֽךְ׃ # verse = DAN.4.24 1 לָהֵ֣ן לָהֵן CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=DAN_4:24!1|MId=o270040240011|Strong=3861|Lang=arc 2-3 מַלְכָּ֗א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מַלְכּ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 dislocated _ Gloss=O|Ref=DAN_4:24!2|MId=o270040240021|Strong=4430|Lang=arc 3 ָ֗א א DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=king|Ref=DAN_4:24!2|MId=o270040240022|Strong=0001b|Lang=arc|Type=definite_article 4-5 מִלְכִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִלְכּ מְלֵךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=advice|Ref=DAN_4:24!3|MId=o270040240031|Strong=4431|Lang=arc 5 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=DAN_4:24!3|MId=o270040240032|Strong=2967b|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 6 יִשְׁפַּ֣ר שְׁפַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=let.it.be.acceptable|Ref=DAN_4:24!4|MId=o270040240041|Strong=8232|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040240031;|Type=yiqtol 7-8 עֲלָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 עֲל עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_4:24!6|MId=o270040240061|Strong=5922|Lang=arc 8 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_4:24!6|MId=o270040240062|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 9-11 וַחֲטָאָךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_4:24!8|MId=o270040240081|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 10 חֲטָא חֲטָא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=sin|Ref=DAN_4:24!8|MId=o270040240082|Strong=2408|Lang=arc 11 ָךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_4:24!8|MId=o270040240083|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 12-13 בְּצִדְקָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DAN_4:24!9|MId=o270040240091|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 13 צִדְקָ֣ה צִדְקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=right.doing|Ref=DAN_4:24!9|MId=o270040240092|Strong=6665|Lang=arc 14 פְרֻ֔ק פְּרַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=break.off!|Ref=DAN_4:24!10|MId=o270040240101|Strong=6562|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040240021;A1:270040240082;|Type=imperative 15-17 וַעֲוָיָתָ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_4:24!11|MId=o270040240111|Strong=2050d|Lang=arc 16 עֲוָיָת עֲוָיָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 conj _ Gloss=iniquities|Ref=DAN_4:24!11|MId=o270040240112|Strong=5758|Lang=arc 17 ָ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_4:24!11|MId=o270040240113|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּמִחַ֣ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DAN_4:24!12|MId=o270040240121|Strong=0871b|Lang=arc 19 מִחַ֣ן חֲנַן VERB _ HebBinyan=PEAL 16 advcl _ Gloss=showing.mercy.to|Ref=DAN_4:24!12|MId=o270040240122|Strong=2604|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040240021;A1:270040240131;|Type=infinitive_construct 20 עֲנָ֑יִן עֲנֵה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=poor.people|Ref=DAN_4:24!13|MId=o270040240131|Strong=6033|Lang=arc 21 הֵ֛ן הֵן SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=whether|Ref=DAN_4:24!14|MId=o270040240141|Strong=2006|Lang=arc 22 תֶּהֱוֵ֥א הוה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PEAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=DAN_4:24!15|MId=o270040240151|Strong=1934|Lang=arc|Frame=A0:270040240161;|Type=yiqtol 23 אַרְכָ֖ה אַרְכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=a.prolonging|Ref=DAN_4:24!16|MId=o270040240161|Strong=0754a|Lang=arc 24-26 לִשְׁלֵוְתָֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=DAN_4:24!17|MId=o270040240171|Strong=3807b|Lang=arc 25 שְׁלֵוְת שְׁלֵוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 advcl _ Gloss=prosperity|Ref=DAN_4:24!17|MId=o270040240172|Strong=7963|Lang=arc 26 ָֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_4:24!17|MId=o270040240173|Strong=3509e|Lang=arc|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DAN_4:24!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִשְׁפַּר *let it be acceptable* | yiqtol · peal | מִלְכּ *advice* | | | | | פְרֻק *break off!* | imperative · peal | מַלְכּ *O* | חֲטָא *sin* | | | | מִחַן *showing mercy to* | infinitive construct · peal | מַלְכּ *O* | עֲנָיִן *poor people* | | | | תֶּהֱוֵא *it will be* | yiqtol · peal | אַרְכָה *a prolonging* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
