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 — these, province, one, Jerusalem — and what happens in the verse to chiefs, Jerusalem, cities, 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. וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ רָאשֵׁ֣י הַמְּדִינָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָשְׁב֖וּ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וּבְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֗ה יָֽשְׁב֞וּ אִ֤ישׁ בַּאֲחֻזָּתוֹ֙ בְּעָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ וְהַלְוִיִּ֣ם וְהַנְּתִינִ֔ים וּבְנֵ֖י עַבְדֵ֥י שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ [Now these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israelites, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.322/) ## 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:293 # text = וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ רָאשֵׁ֣י הַמְּדִינָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָשְׁב֖וּ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וּבְעָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֗ה יָֽשְׁב֞וּ אִ֤ישׁ בַּאֲחֻזָּתוֹ֙ בְּעָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ וְהַלְוִיִּ֣ם וְהַנְּתִינִ֔ים וּבְנֵ֖י עַבְדֵ֥י שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ # verse = NEH.11.3 1-2 וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:3!1|MId=o160110030011|Strong=2050b 2 אֵ֙לֶּה֙ אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=these|Ref=NEH_11:3!1|MId=o160110030012|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 3 רָאשֵׁ֣י רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].the.leaders|Ref=NEH_11:3!2|MId=o160110030021|Strong=7218 4-5 הַמְּדִינָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_11:3!3|MId=o160110030031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מְּדִינָ֔ה מְדִינָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.province|Ref=NEH_11:3!3|MId=o160110030032|Strong=4082 6 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=NEH_11:3!4|MId=o160110030041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 יָשְׁב֖וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.dwelt|Ref=NEH_11:3!5|MId=o160110030051|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160110030021;|Type=qatal 8-9 בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_11:3!6|MId=o160110030061|Strong=0871a 9 ירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=NEH_11:3!6|MId=o160110030062|Strong=3389 10-12 וּבְעָרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:3!7|MId=o160110030071|Strong=2050b 11 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_11:3!7|MId=o160110030072|Strong=0871a 12 עָרֵ֣י עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=the.cities|Ref=NEH_11:3!7|MId=o160110030073|Strong=5892 13 יְהוּדָ֗ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=NEH_11:3!8|MId=o160110030081|Strong=3063 14 יָֽשְׁב֞וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.dwelt|Ref=NEH_11:3!9|MId=o160110030091|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:160110030131;160110030142;160110030153;160110030163;160110030172;|Type=qatal 15 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=NEH_11:3!10|MId=o160110030101|Strong=0376 16-18 בַּאֲחֻזָּתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NEH_11:3!11|MId=o160110030111|Strong=0871a 17 אֲחֻזָּת אֲחֻזָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=his.own|Ref=NEH_11:3!11|MId=o160110030112|Strong=0272 18 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=property|Ref=NEH_11:3!11|MId=o160110030113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-21 בְּעָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NEH_11:3!12|MId=o160110030121|Strong=0871a 20 עָ֣רֵי עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=their.own|Ref=NEH_11:3!12|MId=o160110030122|Strong=5892 21 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=cities|Ref=NEH_11:3!12|MId=o160110030123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22 יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=NEH_11:3!13|MId=o160110030131|Strong=3478 23-24 הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_11:3!14|MId=o160110030141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 כֹּהֲנִים֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=priests|Ref=NEH_11:3!14|MId=o160110030142|Strong=3548 25-27 וְהַלְוִיִּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:3!15|MId=o160110030151|Strong=2050b 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_11:3!15|MId=o160110030152|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 לְוִיִּ֣ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NEH_11:3!15|MId=o160110030153|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 28-30 וְהַנְּתִינִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:3!16|MId=o160110030161|Strong=2050b 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the.temple|Ref=NEH_11:3!16|MId=o160110030162|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 נְּתִינִ֔ים נָתִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=NEH_11:3!16|MId=o160110030163|Strong=5411 31-32 וּבְנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_11:3!17|MId=o160110030171|Strong=2050b 32 בְנֵ֖י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=the.descendants|Ref=NEH_11:3!17|MId=o160110030172|Strong=1121 33 עַבְדֵ֥י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.servants|Ref=NEH_11:3!18|MId=o160110030181|Strong=5650 34 שְׁלֹמֹֽה שְׁלֹמֹה PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Solomon|Ref=NEH_11:3!19|MId=o160110030191|Strong=8010|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=NEH_11:3!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
