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 — word, I, thou, thy — and what happens in the verse to beginning, vision, supplications, 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. בִּתְחִלַּ֨ת תַּחֲנוּנֶ֜יךָ יָצָ֣א דָבָ֗ר וַאֲנִי֙ בָּ֣אתִי לְהַגִּ֔יד כִּ֥י חֲמוּד֖וֹת אָ֑תָּה וּבִין֙ בַּדָּבָ֔ר וְהָבֵ֖ן בַּמַּרְאֶֽה׃ [At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.287/) ## 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:73 # text = בִּתְחִלַּ֨ת תַּחֲנוּנֶ֜יךָ יָצָ֣א דָבָ֗ר וַאֲנִי֙ בָּ֣אתִי לְהַגִּ֔יד כִּ֥י חֲמוּד֖וֹת אָ֑תָּה וּבִין֙ בַּדָּבָ֔ר וְהָבֵ֖ן בַּמַּרְאֶֽה׃ # verse = DAN.9.23 1-2 בִּתְחִלַּ֨ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=DAN_9:23!1|MId=o270090230011|Strong=0871a 2 תְחִלַּ֨ת תְּחִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the.beginning|Ref=DAN_9:23!1|MId=o270090230012|Strong=8462 3-4 תַּחֲנוּנֶ֜יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 תַּחֲנוּנֶ֜י תַּחֲנוּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.supplications|Ref=DAN_9:23!2|MId=o270090230021|Strong=8469 4 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DAN_9:23!2|MId=o270090230022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5 יָצָ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.went.forth|Ref=DAN_9:23!3|MId=o270090230031|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:270090230041;|Type=qatal 6 דָבָ֗ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=a.word|Ref=DAN_9:23!4|MId=o270090230041|Strong=1697 7-8 וַאֲנִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_9:23!5|MId=o270090230051|Strong=2050b 8 אֲנִי֙ אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DAN_9:23!5|MId=o270090230052|Strong=0589|Type=personal 9 בָּ֣אתִי בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 conj _ Gloss=I.have.come|Ref=DAN_9:23!6|MId=o270090230061|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:270090230052;|Type=qatal 10-11 לְהַגִּ֔יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DAN_9:23!7|MId=o270090230071|Strong=3807a 11 הַגִּ֔יד נָגַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 9 advcl _ Gloss=declare|Ref=DAN_9:23!7|MId=o270090230072|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:270090210053;A0:270090230041;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DAN_9:23!8|MId=o270090230081|Strong=3588 13 חֲמוּד֖וֹת חֲמֻדֹות NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 5 advcl _ Gloss=[are].precious|Ref=DAN_9:23!9|MId=o270090230091|Strong=2530a 14 אָ֑תָּה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DAN_9:23!10|MId=o270090230101|Strong=0859|Type=personal 15-16 וּבִין֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_9:23!11|MId=o270090230111|Strong=2050b 16 בִין֙ בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=understand|Ref=DAN_9:23!11|MId=o270090230112|Strong=0995|Frame=A0:270090220051;|Type=imperative 17-19 בַּדָּבָ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=DAN_9:23!12|MId=o270090230121|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_9:23!12|MId=o270090230121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 דָּבָ֔ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=word|Ref=DAN_9:23!12|MId=o270090230122|Strong=1697 20-21 וְהָבֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DAN_9:23!13|MId=o270090230131|Strong=2050b 21 הָבֵ֖ן בִּין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=understand|Ref=DAN_9:23!13|MId=o270090230132|Strong=0995|Frame=A0:270090220051;|Type=imperative 22-24 בַּמַּרְאֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=DAN_9:23!14|MId=o270090230141|Strong=0871a 23 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DAN_9:23!14|MId=o270090230141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 מַּרְאֶֽה מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=vision|Ref=DAN_9:23!14|MId=o270090230142|Strong=4758 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=DAN_9:23!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָצָא *it went forth* | qatal · qal | דָבָר *a word* | | | | | בָּאתִי *I have come* | qatal · qal | אֲנִי *I* | | | | | הַגִּיד *declare* | infinitive construct · hiphil | דָבָר *a word* | | | | | בִין *understand* | imperative · qal | | | | | | הָבֵן *understand* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
