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 — king, craft — and what happens in the verse to craft, cunning, hand, king, heart, many, 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. וְעַל־שִׂכְל֗וֹ וְהִצְלִ֤יחַ מִרְמָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ וּבִלְבָב֣וֹ יַגְדִּ֔יל וּבְשַׁלְוָ֖ה יַשְׁחִ֣ית רַבִּ֑ים וְעַ֤ל־שַׂר־שָׂרִים֙ יַעֲמֹ֔ד וּבְאֶ֥פֶס יָ֖ד יִשָּׁבֵֽר׃ [And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.262/) ## 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:48 # text = וְעַל־שִׂכְל֗וֹ וְהִצְלִ֤יחַ מִרְמָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ וּבִלְבָב֣וֹ יַגְדִּ֔יל וּבְשַׁלְוָ֖ה יַשְׁחִ֣ית רַבִּ֑ים וְעַ֤ל־שַׂר־שָׂרִים֙ יַעֲמֹ֔ד וּבְאֶ֥פֶס יָ֖ד יִשָּׁבֵֽר׃ # verse = DAN.8.25 1-2 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:25!1|MId=o270080250011|Strong=2050b 2 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DAN_8:25!1|MId=o270080250012|Strong=5921 3-4 שִׂכְל֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 שִׂכְל שֵׂכֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 dislocated _ Gloss=insight|Ref=DAN_8:25!2|MId=o270080250021|Strong=7922 4 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_8:25!2|MId=o270080250022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-6 וְהִצְלִ֤יחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:25!3|MId=o270080250031|Strong=2050b 6 הִצְלִ֤יחַ צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.make.successful|Ref=DAN_8:25!3|MId=o270080250032|Strong=6743|Frame=AA:270080230061;A0:270080250041;|Type=weqatal 7 מִרְמָה֙ מִרְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=deceit|Ref=DAN_8:25!4|MId=o270080250041|Strong=4820 8-10 בְּיָד֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DAN_8:25!5|MId=o270080250051|Strong=0871a 9 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=DAN_8:25!5|MId=o270080250052|Strong=3027 10 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_8:25!5|MId=o270080250053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-14 וּבִלְבָב֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:25!6|MId=o270080250061|Strong=2050b 12 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_8:25!6|MId=o270080250062|Strong=0871a 13 לְבָב לֵבָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=heart|Ref=DAN_8:25!6|MId=o270080250063|Strong=3824 14 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DAN_8:25!6|MId=o270080250064|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 יַגְדִּ֔יל גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.will.magnify.himself|Ref=DAN_8:25!7|MId=o270080250071|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:270080230061;|Type=yiqtol 16-18 וּבְשַׁלְוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:25!8|MId=o270080250081|Strong=2050b 17 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DAN_8:25!8|MId=o270080250082|Strong=0871a 18 שַׁלְוָ֖ה שַׁלְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=security|Ref=DAN_8:25!8|MId=o270080250083|Strong=7962 19 יַשְׁחִ֣ית שָׁחַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.will.destroy|Ref=DAN_8:25!9|MId=o270080250091|Strong=7843|Frame=AA:270080230061;A0:270080250101;|Type=yiqtol 20 רַבִּ֑ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=many.[people]|Ref=DAN_8:25!10|MId=o270080250101|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 21-22 וְעַ֤ל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:25!11|MId=o270080250111|Strong=2050b 22 עַ֤ל־ עַל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DAN_8:25!11|MId=o270080250112|Strong=5921 23 שַׂר־ שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=a.prince|Ref=DAN_8:25!12|MId=o270080250121|Strong=8269|SpaceAfter=No 24 שָׂרִים֙ שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.princes|Ref=DAN_8:25!13|MId=o270080250131|Strong=8269 25 יַעֲמֹ֔ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.will.stand|Ref=DAN_8:25!14|MId=o270080250141|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:270080230061;|Type=yiqtol 26-28 וּבְאֶ֥פֶס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_8:25!15|MId=o270080250151|Strong=2050b 27 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DAN_8:25!15|MId=o270080250152|Strong=0871a 28 אֶ֥פֶס אֶפֶס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=not|Ref=DAN_8:25!15|MId=o270080250153|Strong=0657 29 יָ֖ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=a.hand|Ref=DAN_8:25!16|MId=o270080250161|Strong=3027 30 יִשָּׁבֵֽר שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.will.be.broken|Ref=DAN_8:25!17|MId=o270080250171|Strong=7665|Frame=A1:270080230061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DAN_8:25!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִצְלִיחַ *he will make successful* | weqatal · hiphil | מִרְמָה *deceit* | | | | | יַגְדִּיל *he will magnify himself* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | יַשְׁחִית *he will destroy* | yiqtol · hiphil | רַבִּים *many \[people\]* | | | | | יַעֲמֹד *he will stand* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִשָּׁבֵֽר *he will be broken* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
