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 — princes, rest — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, lots, one, 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 13 chapters of Nehemiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ שָׂרֵֽי־הָעָ֖ם בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וּשְׁאָ֣ר הָ֠עָם הִפִּ֨ילוּ גוֹרָל֜וֹת לְהָבִ֣יא ׀ אֶחָ֣ד מִן־הָעֲשָׂרָ֗ה לָשֶׁ֙בֶת֙ בִּֽירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ עִ֣יר הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ וְתֵ֥שַׁע הַיָּד֖וֹת בֶּעָרִֽים׃ [And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem; the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.320/) ## 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:NEH:291 # text = וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ שָׂרֵֽי־הָעָ֖ם בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וּשְׁאָ֣ר הָ֠עָם הִפִּ֨ילוּ גוֹרָל֜וֹת לְהָבִ֣יא ׀ אֶחָ֣ד מִן־הָעֲשָׂרָ֗ה לָשֶׁ֙בֶת֙ בִּֽירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ עִ֣יר הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ וְתֵ֥שַׁע הַיָּד֖וֹת בֶּעָרִֽים׃ # verse = NEH.11.1 1-2 וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:1!1|MId=o160110010011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּשְׁב֥וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.dwelt|Ref=NEH_11:1!1|MId=o160110010012|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160110010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שָׂרֵֽי־ שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.leaders|Ref=NEH_11:1!2|MId=o160110010021|Strong=8269|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_11:1!3|MId=o160110010031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NEH_11:1!3|MId=o160110010032|Strong=5971 6-7 בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_11:1!4|MId=o160110010041|Strong=0871a 7 ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=NEH_11:1!4|MId=o160110010042|Strong=3389 8-9 וּשְׁאָ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:1!5|MId=o160110010051|Strong=2050b 9 שְׁאָ֣ר שְׁאָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=the.rest|Ref=NEH_11:1!5|MId=o160110010052|Strong=7605 10-11 הָ֠עָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ֠ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_11:1!6|MId=o160110010061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 עָם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NEH_11:1!6|MId=o160110010062|Strong=5971 12 הִפִּ֨ילוּ נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.cast|Ref=NEH_11:1!7|MId=o160110010071|Strong=5307|Frame=AA:160110010052;A0:160110010081;|Type=qatal 13 גוֹרָל֜וֹת גּוֹרָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=lots|Ref=NEH_11:1!8|MId=o160110010081|Strong=1486 14-15 לְהָבִ֣יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_11:1!9|MId=o160110010091|Strong=3807a 15 הָבִ֣יא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 12 advcl _ Gloss=bring|Ref=NEH_11:1!9|MId=o160110010092|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:160110010052;A0:160110010101;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=NEH_11:1!9 17 אֶחָ֣ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=one|Ref=NEH_11:1!10|MId=o160110010101|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 18 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_11:1!11|MId=o160110010111|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 הָעֲשָׂרָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_11:1!12|MId=o160110010121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 עֲשָׂרָ֗ה עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nmod _ Gloss=ten|Ref=NEH_11:1!12|MId=o160110010122|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 21-22 לָשֶׁ֙בֶת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_11:1!13|MId=o160110010131|Strong=3807a 22 שֶׁ֙בֶת֙ יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=dwell|Ref=NEH_11:1!13|MId=o160110010132|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160110010101;|Type=infinitive_construct 23-24 בִּֽירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_11:1!14|MId=o160110010141|Strong=0871a 24 ירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=NEH_11:1!14|MId=o160110010142|Strong=3389 25 עִ֣יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 appos _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=NEH_11:1!15|MId=o160110010151|Strong=5892 26-27 הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=NEH_11:1!16|MId=o160110010161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 קֹּ֔דֶשׁ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=holiness|Ref=NEH_11:1!16|MId=o160110010162|Strong=6944 28-29 וְתֵ֥שַׁע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 34 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:1!17|MId=o160110010171|Strong=2050b 29 תֵ֥שַׁע תֵּשַׁע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 31 nummod _ Gloss=nine|Ref=NEH_11:1!17|MId=o160110010172|Strong=8672|Type=cardinal_number 30-31 הַיָּד֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_11:1!18|MId=o160110010181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 יָּד֖וֹת יָד NOUN _ Number=Plur 34 nsubj _ Gloss=hands|Ref=NEH_11:1!18|MId=o160110010182|Strong=3027 32-34 בֶּעָרִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=[were].in|Ref=NEH_11:1!19|MId=o160110010191|Strong=0871a 33 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 34 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_11:1!19|MId=o160110010191ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 34 עָרִֽים עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=cities|Ref=NEH_11:1!19|MId=o160110010192|Strong=5892 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=NEH_11:1!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
