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, wall — and what happens in the verse to brother, Jerusalem, faithful man, God, many, 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. וָאֲצַוֶּ֞ה אֶת־חֲנָ֣נִי אָחִ֗י וְאֶת־חֲנַנְיָ֛ה שַׂ֥ר הַבִּירָ֖ה עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כִּי־הוּא֙ כְּאִ֣ישׁ אֱמֶ֔ת וְיָרֵ֥א אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים מֵרַבִּֽים׃ [that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/NEH.145/) ## 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:125 # text = וָאֲצַוֶּ֞ה אֶת־חֲנָ֣נִי אָחִ֗י וְאֶת־חֲנַנְיָ֛ה שַׂ֥ר הַבִּירָ֖ה עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כִּי־הוּא֙ כְּאִ֣ישׁ אֱמֶ֔ת וְיָרֵ֥א אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים מֵרַבִּֽים׃ # verse = NEH.7.2 1-2 וָאֲצַוֶּ֞ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:2!1|MId=o160070020011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲצַוֶּ֞ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.appointed|Ref=NEH_7:2!1|MId=o160070020012|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:160010010021;A1:160070020031;160070020061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_7:2!2|MId=o160070020021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 חֲנָ֣נִי חֲנָנִי PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Hanani|Ref=NEH_7:2!3|MId=o160070020031|Strong=2607 5-6 אָחִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אָח אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=NEH_7:2!4|MId=o160070020041|Strong=0251 6 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NEH_7:2!4|MId=o160070020042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:2!5|MId=o160070020051|Strong=2050b 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_7:2!5|MId=o160070020052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 חֲנַנְיָ֛ה חֲנַנְיָה PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Hananiah|Ref=NEH_7:2!6|MId=o160070020061|Strong=2608 10 שַׂ֥ר שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=the.commander|Ref=NEH_7:2!7|MId=o160070020071|Strong=8269 11-12 הַבִּירָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NEH_7:2!8|MId=o160070020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 בִּירָ֖ה בִּירָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.citadel|Ref=NEH_7:2!8|MId=o160070020082|Strong=1002 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NEH_7:2!9|MId=o160070020091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14 יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=NEH_7:2!10|MId=o160070020101|Strong=3389 15 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NEH_7:2!11|MId=o160070020111|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 16 הוּא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=NEH_7:2!12|MId=o160070020121|Strong=1931|Type=personal 17-18 כְּאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=[was].like|Ref=NEH_7:2!13|MId=o160070020131|Strong=3509a 18 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=NEH_7:2!13|MId=o160070020132|Strong=0376 19 אֱמֶ֔ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.faithfulness|Ref=NEH_7:2!14|MId=o160070020141|Strong=0571 20-21 וְיָרֵ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NEH_7:2!15|MId=o160070020151|Strong=2050b 21 יָרֵ֥א יָרֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=fearing|Ref=NEH_7:2!15|MId=o160070020152|Strong=3372|Type=qatal 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NEH_7:2!16|MId=o160070020161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NEH_7:2!17|MId=o160070020171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 obj _ Gloss=God|Ref=NEH_7:2!17|MId=o160070020172|Strong=0430 25-26 מֵרַבִּֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=NEH_7:2!18|MId=o160070020181|Strong=4480 26 רַבִּֽים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=than.many.[people]|Ref=NEH_7:2!18|MId=o160070020182|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=NEH_7:2!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֲצַוֶּה *I appointed* | wayyiqtol · piel | | חֲנָנִי *Hanani* + חֲנַנְיָה *Hananiah* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
