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 — Ahijah, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse to Jeroboam, ten pieces, thee, kingdom, hand, ten tribes, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 22 chapters of 1 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לְיָֽרָבְעָ֔ם קַח־לְךָ֖ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה קְרָעִ֑ים כִּ֣י כֹה֩ אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הִנְנִ֨י קֹרֵ֤עַ אֶת־הַמַּמְלָכָה֙ מִיַּ֣ד שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וְנָתַתִּ֣י לְךָ֔ אֵ֖ת עֲשָׂרָ֥ה הַשְּׁבָטִֽים׃ [And he said to Jeroboam: 'Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.439/) ## 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:1KI:421 # text = וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לְיָֽרָבְעָ֔ם קַח־לְךָ֖ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה קְרָעִ֑ים כִּ֣י כֹה֩ אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל הִנְנִ֨י קֹרֵ֤עַ אֶת־הַמַּמְלָכָה֙ מִיַּ֣ד שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה וְנָתַתִּ֣י לְךָ֔ אֵ֖ת עֲשָׂרָ֥ה הַשְּׁבָטִֽים׃ # verse = 1KI.11.31 1-2 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_11:31!1|MId=o110110310011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1KI_11:31!1|MId=o110110310012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:110110300021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לְיָֽרָבְעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_11:31!2|MId=o110110310021|Strong=3807a 4 יָֽרָבְעָ֔ם יָרָבְעָם PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jeroboam|Ref=1KI_11:31!2|MId=o110110310022|Strong=3379 5 קַח־ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=1KI_11:31!3|MId=o110110310031|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:110110310022;A1:110110310061;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 לְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1KI_11:31!4|MId=o110110310041|Strong=3807a 7 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=1KI_11:31!4|MId=o110110310042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 עֲשָׂרָ֣ה עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=ten|Ref=1KI_11:31!5|MId=o110110310051|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 9 קְרָעִ֑ים קְרָעִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 obj _ Gloss=pieces|Ref=1KI_11:31!6|MId=o110110310061|Strong=7168 10 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1KI_11:31!7|MId=o110110310071|Strong=3588 11 כֹה֩ כֹּה ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=1KI_11:31!8|MId=o110110310081|Strong=3541 12 אָמַ֨ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 advcl _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=1KI_11:31!9|MId=o110110310091|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:110110310101;|Type=qatal 13 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1KI_11:31!10|MId=o110110310101|Strong=3068 14 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=1KI_11:31!11|MId=o110110310111|Strong=0430 15 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1KI_11:31!12|MId=o110110310121|Strong=3478 16-17 הִנְנִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 18 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=1KI_11:31!13|MId=o110110310131|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 17 ְנִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=1KI_11:31!13|MId=o110110310132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18 קֹרֵ֤עַ קָרַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].about.to.tear.away|Ref=1KI_11:31!14|MId=o110110310141|Strong=7167|Frame=A0:110110310132;A1:110110310162;|Type=participle_active 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_11:31!15|MId=o110110310151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַמַּמְלָכָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_11:31!16|MId=o110110310161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מַּמְלָכָה֙ מַמְלָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=1KI_11:31!16|MId=o110110310162|Strong=4467 22-23 מִיַּ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_11:31!17|MId=o110110310171|Strong=4480 23 יַּ֣ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=1KI_11:31!17|MId=o110110310172|Strong=3027 24 שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה שְׁלֹמֹה PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Solomon|Ref=1KI_11:31!18|MId=o110110310181|Strong=8010 25-26 וְנָתַתִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_11:31!19|MId=o110110310191|Strong=2050b 26 נָתַתִּ֣י נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 18 conj _ Gloss=I.will.give|Ref=1KI_11:31!19|MId=o110110310192|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:110110310101;A1:110110310232;|Type=weqatal 27-28 לְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 ל לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_11:31!20|MId=o110110310201|Strong=3807a 28 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_11:31!20|MId=o110110310202|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 29 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_11:31!21|MId=o110110310211|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 30 עֲשָׂרָ֥ה עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 nummod _ Gloss=ten|Ref=1KI_11:31!22|MId=o110110310221|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 31-32 הַשְּׁבָטִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_11:31!23|MId=o110110310231|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 שְּׁבָטִֽים שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 obj _ Gloss=tribes|Ref=1KI_11:31!23|MId=o110110310232|Strong=7626 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=1KI_11:31!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
