The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — sanctuary, I, appearance — and what happens in the verse to vision, sanctuary, 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. וַיְהִ֗י בִּרְאֹתִ֛י אֲנִ֥י דָנִיֵּ֖אל אֶת־הֶחָז֑וֹן וָאֲבַקְשָׁ֣ה בִינָ֔ה וְהִנֵּ֛ה עֹמֵ֥ד לְנֶגְדִּ֖י כְּמַרְאֵה־גָֽבֶר׃ [And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.252/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew 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:DAN:38 # text = וַיְהִ֗י בִּרְאֹתִ֛י אֲנִ֥י דָנִיֵּ֖אל אֶת־הֶחָז֑וֹן וָאֲבַקְשָׁ֣ה בִינָ֔ה וְהִנֵּ֛ה עֹמֵ֥ד לְנֶגְדִּ֖י כְּמַרְאֵה־גָֽבֶר׃ # verse = DAN.8.15 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:15!1|MId=o270080150011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=DAN_8:15!1|MId=o270080150012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 בִּרְאֹתִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=DAN_8:15!2|MId=o270080150021|Strong=0871a 4 רְאֹת רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=saw|Ref=DAN_8:15!2|MId=o270080150022|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:270080150023;A1:270080150062;|Type=infinitive_construct 5 ִ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:15!2|MId=o270080150023|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 6 אֲנִ֥י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 appos _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:15!3|MId=o270080150031|Strong=0589|Type=personal 7 דָנִיֵּ֖אל דָּנִיֵּאל PROPN _ _ 6 appos _ Gloss=Daniel|Ref=DAN_8:15!4|MId=o270080150041|Strong=1840 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DAN_8:15!5|MId=o270080150051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הֶחָז֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:15!6|MId=o270080150061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 חָז֑וֹן חָזוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=vision|Ref=DAN_8:15!6|MId=o270080150062|Strong=2377 11-13 וָאֲבַקְשָׁ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:15!7|MId=o270080150071|Strong=2050b 12 אֲבַקְשׁ בָּקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:15!7|MId=o270080150072|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:270080150041;A1:270080150081;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 ָ֣ה ה X _ _ 12 nmod _ Gloss=sought|Ref=DAN_8:15!7|MId=o270080150073|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 14 בִינָ֔ה בִּינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=understanding|Ref=DAN_8:15!8|MId=o270080150081|Strong=0998 15-16 וְהִנֵּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:15!9|MId=o270080150091|Strong=2050b 16 הִנֵּ֛ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 17 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=DAN_8:15!9|MId=o270080150092|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 17 עֹמֵ֥ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].standing|Ref=DAN_8:15!10|MId=o270080150101|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:270080150122;|Type=participle_active 18-20 לְנֶגְדִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_8:15!11|MId=o270080150111|Strong=3807a 19 נֶגְדּ נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=DAN_8:15!11|MId=o270080150112|Strong=5048 20 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=DAN_8:15!11|MId=o270080150113|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 כְּמַרְאֵה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=DAN_8:15!12|MId=o270080150121|Strong=3509a 22 מַרְאֵה־ מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=appearance|Ref=DAN_8:15!12|MId=o270080150122|Strong=4758 23 גָֽבֶר גֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.man|Ref=DAN_8:15!13|MId=o270080150131|Strong=1397|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:15!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רְאֹת *saw* | infinitive construct · qal | ִי *I* | חָזוֹן *vision* | | | | אֲבַקְשׁ *I* | wayyiqtol · piel | דָנִיֵּאל *Daniel* | בִינָה *understanding* | | | | עֹמֵד *\[was\] standing* | participle active · qal | מַרְאֵה־ *appearance* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
