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 — I, it, castle — and what happens in the verse to vision, Shushan, province, 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. וָֽאֶרְאֶה֮ בֶּחָזוֹן֒ וַיְהִי֙ בִּרְאֹתִ֔י וַאֲנִי֙ בְּשׁוּשַׁ֣ן הַבִּירָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעֵילָ֣ם הַמְּדִינָ֑ה וָאֶרְאֶה֙ בֶּֽחָז֔וֹן וַאֲנִ֥י הָיִ֖יתִי עַל־אוּבַ֥ל אוּלָֽי׃ [And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.239/) ## 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:25 # text = וָֽאֶרְאֶה֮ בֶּחָזוֹן֒ וַיְהִי֙ בִּרְאֹתִ֔י וַאֲנִי֙ בְּשׁוּשַׁ֣ן הַבִּירָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעֵילָ֣ם הַמְּדִינָ֑ה וָאֶרְאֶה֙ בֶּֽחָז֔וֹן וַאֲנִ֥י הָיִ֖יתִי עַל־אוּבַ֥ל אוּלָֽי׃ # verse = DAN.8.2 1-2 וָֽאֶרְאֶה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:2!1|MId=o270080020011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶרְאֶה֮ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.saw|Ref=DAN_8:2!1|MId=o270080020012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:270080010101;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 בֶּחָזוֹן֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_8:2!2|MId=o270080020021|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:2!2|MId=o270080020021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 חָזוֹן֒ חָזוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=vision|Ref=DAN_8:2!2|MId=o270080020022|Strong=2377 6-7 וַיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:2!3|MId=o270080020031|Strong=2050b 7 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=DAN_8:2!3|MId=o270080020032|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 8-10 בִּרְאֹתִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=DAN_8:2!4|MId=o270080020041|Strong=0871a 9 רְאֹת רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 advcl _ Gloss=saw|Ref=DAN_8:2!4|MId=o270080020042|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:270080020043;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:2!4|MId=o270080020043|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַאֲנִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:2!5|MId=o270080020051|Strong=2050b 12 אֲנִי֙ אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:2!5|MId=o270080020052|Strong=0589|Type=personal 13-14 בְּשׁוּשַׁ֣ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=DAN_8:2!6|MId=o270080020061|Strong=0871a 14 שׁוּשַׁ֣ן שׁוּשַׁן PROPN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=Susa|Ref=DAN_8:2!6|MId=o270080020062|Strong=7800 15-16 הַבִּירָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:2!7|MId=o270080020071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 בִּירָ֔ה בִּירָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=citadel|Ref=DAN_8:2!7|MId=o270080020072|Strong=1002 17 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DAN_8:2!8|MId=o270080020081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 18-19 בְּעֵילָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=DAN_8:2!9|MId=o270080020091|Strong=0871a 19 עֵילָ֣ם עֵילָם PROPN _ _ 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Elam|Ref=DAN_8:2!9|MId=o270080020092|Strong=5867 20-21 הַמְּדִינָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:2!10|MId=o270080020101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מְּדִינָ֑ה מְדִינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=province|Ref=DAN_8:2!10|MId=o270080020102|Strong=4082 22-23 וָאֶרְאֶה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:2!11|MId=o270080020111|Strong=2050b 23 אֶרְאֶה֙ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.saw|Ref=DAN_8:2!11|MId=o270080020112|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:270080010101;|Type=wayyiqtol 24-26 בֶּֽחָז֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בֶּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_8:2!12|MId=o270080020121|Strong=0871a 25 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_8:2!12|MId=o270080020121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 חָז֔וֹן חָזוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=vision|Ref=DAN_8:2!12|MId=o270080020122|Strong=2377 27-28 וַאֲנִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:2!13|MId=o270080020131|Strong=2050b 28 אֲנִ֥י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 31 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_8:2!13|MId=o270080020132|Strong=0589|Type=personal 29 הָיִ֖יתִי הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 31 cop _ Gloss=I.was|Ref=DAN_8:2!14|MId=o270080020141|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:270080020132;|Type=qatal 30 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=DAN_8:2!15|MId=o270080020151|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 31 אוּבַ֥ל אֻבָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.canal|Ref=DAN_8:2!16|MId=o270080020161|Strong=0180 32 אוּלָֽי אוּלַי PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ulai|Ref=DAN_8:2!17|MId=o270080020171|Strong=0195|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:2!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶרְאֶה *I saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | רְאֹת *saw* | infinitive construct · qal | ִי *I* | | | | | אֶרְאֶה *I saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | הָיִיתִי *I was* | qatal · qal | אֲנִי *I* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
