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 — provinces — and what happens in the verse to copy, writing, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 10 chapters of Esther on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. פַּתְשֶׁ֣גֶן הַכְּתָ֗ב לְהִנָּ֤תֵֽן דָּת֙ בְּכָל־מְדִינָ֣ה וּמְדִינָ֔ה גָּל֖וּי לְכָל־הָֽעַמִּ֑ים לִהְי֥וֹת עֲתִדִ֖ים לַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EST.61/) ## 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:EST:58 # text = פַּתְשֶׁ֣גֶן הַכְּתָ֗ב לְהִנָּ֤תֵֽן דָּת֙ בְּכָל־מְדִינָ֣ה וּמְדִינָ֔ה גָּל֖וּי לְכָל־הָֽעַמִּ֑ים לִהְי֥וֹת עֲתִדִ֖ים לַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = EST.3.14 1 פַּתְשֶׁ֣גֶן פַּתְשֶׁגֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=(the).copy|Ref=EST_3:14!1|MId=o170030140011|Strong=6572 2-3 הַכְּתָ֗ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EST_3:14!2|MId=o170030140021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 כְּתָ֗ב כְּתָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.writing|Ref=EST_3:14!2|MId=o170030140022|Strong=3791 4-5 לְהִנָּ֤תֵֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=[was].to|Ref=EST_3:14!3|MId=o170030140031|Strong=3807a 5 הִנָּ֤תֵֽן נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 12 advcl _ Gloss=be.given|Ref=EST_3:14!3|MId=o170030140032|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:170030140041;|Type=infinitive_construct 6 דָּת֙ דָּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=law|Ref=EST_3:14!4|MId=o170030140041|Strong=1881 7-8 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EST_3:14!5|MId=o170030140051|Strong=0871a 8 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=every|Ref=EST_3:14!5|MId=o170030140052|Strong=3605 9 מְדִינָ֣ה מְדִינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=province|Ref=EST_3:14!6|MId=o170030140061|Strong=4082 10-11 וּמְדִינָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EST_3:14!7|MId=o170030140071|Strong=2050b 11 מְדִינָ֔ה מְדִינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=province|Ref=EST_3:14!7|MId=o170030140072|Strong=4082 12 גָּל֖וּי גָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=displayed|Ref=EST_3:14!8|MId=o170030140081|Strong=1540|Frame=A1:170030140011;|Type=participle_passive 13-14 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EST_3:14!9|MId=o170030140091|Strong=3807a 14 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EST_3:14!9|MId=o170030140092|Strong=3605 15-16 הָֽעַמִּ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EST_3:14!10|MId=o170030140101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 עַמִּ֑ים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=EST_3:14!10|MId=o170030140102|Strong=5971 17-18 לִהְי֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EST_3:14!11|MId=o170030140111|Strong=3807a 18 הְי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 cop _ Gloss=be|Ref=EST_3:14!11|MId=o170030140112|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:170030140102;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 עֲתִדִ֖ים עָתִיד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=ready|Ref=EST_3:14!12|MId=o170030140121|Strong=6264|Type=adjective 20-22 לַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EST_3:14!13|MId=o170030140131|Strong=3807a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EST_3:14!13|MId=o170030140131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=EST_3:14!13|MId=o170030140132|Strong=3117 23-24 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EST_3:14!14|MId=o170030140141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 22 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EST_3:14!14|MId=o170030140142|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EST_3:14!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִנָּתֵֽן *be given* | infinitive construct · niphal | | דָּת *law* | | | | גָּלוּי *displayed* | participle passive · qal | | פַּתְשֶׁגֶן *(the) copy* | | | | הְיוֹת *be* | infinitive construct · qal | עַמִּים *peoples* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
