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 — I, Levites — and what happens in the verse to portions, work, Levites, 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. וָאֵ֣דְעָ֔ה כִּֽי־מְנָי֥וֹת הַלְוִיִּ֖ם לֹ֣א נִתָּ֑נָה וַיִּבְרְח֧וּ אִישׁ־לְשָׂדֵ֛הוּ הַלְוִיִּ֥ם וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים עֹשֵׂ֥י הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃ [And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.416/) ## 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:383 # text = וָאֵ֣דְעָ֔ה כִּֽי־מְנָי֥וֹת הַלְוִיִּ֖ם לֹ֣א נִתָּ֑נָה וַיִּבְרְח֧וּ אִישׁ־לְשָׂדֵ֛הוּ הַלְוִיִּ֥ם וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים עֹשֵׂ֥י הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃ # verse = NEH.13.10 1-3 וָאֵ֣דְעָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:10!1|MId=o160130100011|Strong=2050b 2 אֵ֣דְע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=NEH_13:10!1|MId=o160130100012|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:160120470061;A1:160130100061;160130100072;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ָ֔ה ה X _ _ 2 nmod _ Gloss=perceived|Ref=NEH_13:10!1|MId=o160130100013|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 4 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=NEH_13:10!2|MId=o160130100021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 5 מְנָי֥וֹת מְנָת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=the.portions|Ref=NEH_13:10!3|MId=o160130100031|Strong=4521 6-7 הַלְוִיִּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_13:10!4|MId=o160130100041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 לְוִיִּ֖ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.Levites|Ref=NEH_13:10!4|MId=o160130100042|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 8 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NEH_13:10!5|MId=o160130100051|Strong=3808|Type=negative 9 נִתָּ֑נָה נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.had.been.given|Ref=NEH_13:10!6|MId=o160130100061|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:160130100031;|Type=qatal 10-11 וַיִּבְרְח֧וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:10!7|MId=o160130100071|Strong=2050b 11 יִּבְרְח֧וּ בָּרַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=they.had.fled|Ref=NEH_13:10!7|MId=o160130100072|Strong=1272|Frame=A0:160130100102;160130100113;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 אִישׁ־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=NEH_13:10!8|MId=o160130100081|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 13-15 לְשָׂדֵ֛הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NEH_13:10!9|MId=o160130100091|Strong=3807a 14 שָׂד שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=his.own|Ref=NEH_13:10!9|MId=o160130100092|Strong=7704 15 ֵ֛הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=field|Ref=NEH_13:10!9|MId=o160130100093|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 16-17 הַלְוִיִּ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_13:10!10|MId=o160130100101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 לְוִיִּ֥ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NEH_13:10!10|MId=o160130100102|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 18-20 וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_13:10!11|MId=o160130100111|Strong=2050b 19 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=NEH_13:10!11|MId=o160130100112|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים שִׁיר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Plur 17 conj _ Gloss=singers|Ref=NEH_13:10!11|MId=o160130100113|Strong=7891|Type=participle_active 21 עֹשֵׂ֥י עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=[who].did|Ref=NEH_13:10!12|MId=o160130100121|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:160130100102;160130100113;A1:160130100132;|Type=participle_active 22-23 הַמְּלָאכָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(of).the|Ref=NEH_13:10!13|MId=o160130100131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 מְּלָאכָֽה מְלָאכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=work|Ref=NEH_13:10!13|MId=o160130100132|Strong=4399 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=NEH_13:10!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֵדְע *I* | wayyiqtol · qal | | נִתָּנָה *it had been given* + יִּבְרְחוּ *they had fled* | | | | **not** נִתָּנָה *it had been given* | qatal · niphal | | מְנָיוֹת *the portions* | | | | יִּבְרְחוּ *they had fled* | wayyiqtol · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* + מְשֹׁרְרִים *singers* | | | | | עֹשֵׂי *\[who\] did* | participle active · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* + מְשֹׁרְרִים *singers* | מְּלָאכָֽה *work* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
