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 — king, Ye, gods — and what happens in the verse to counsel, two calves, Jerusalem, gods, thee, land, 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. וַיִּוָּעַ֣ץ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּ֕עַשׂ שְׁנֵ֖י עֶגְלֵ֣י זָהָ֑ב וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם רַב־לָכֶם֙ מֵעֲל֣וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם הִנֵּ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶעֱל֖וּךָ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ [Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them: 'Ye have gone up long enough to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.480/) ## 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:461 # text = וַיִּוָּעַ֣ץ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּ֕עַשׂ שְׁנֵ֖י עֶגְלֵ֣י זָהָ֑ב וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם רַב־לָכֶם֙ מֵעֲל֣וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם הִנֵּ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶעֱל֖וּךָ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃ # verse = 1KI.12.28 1-2 וַיִּוָּעַ֣ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_12:28!1|MId=o110120280011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּוָּעַ֣ץ יָעַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took.counsel|Ref=1KI_12:28!1|MId=o110120280012|Strong=3289|Frame=A0:110120280022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_12:28!2|MId=o110120280021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=1KI_12:28!2|MId=o110120280022|Strong=4428 5-6 וַיַּ֕עַשׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_12:28!3|MId=o110120280031|Strong=2050b 6 יַּ֕עַשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=1KI_12:28!3|MId=o110120280032|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:110120280022;A1:110120280051;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 שְׁנֵ֖י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 8 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=1KI_12:28!4|MId=o110120280041|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 8 עֶגְלֵ֣י עֵגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obj _ Gloss=calves|Ref=1KI_12:28!5|MId=o110120280051|Strong=5695 9 זָהָ֑ב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.gold|Ref=1KI_12:28!6|MId=o110120280061|Strong=2091 10-11 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_12:28!7|MId=o110120280071|Strong=2050b 11 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1KI_12:28!7|MId=o110120280072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:110120280022;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 אֲלֵהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_12:28!8|MId=o110120280081|Strong=0413 13 ֵהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=1KI_12:28!8|MId=o110120280082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14 רַב־ רַב ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].enough|Ref=1KI_12:28!9|MId=o110120280091|Strong=7227|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 לָכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1KI_12:28!10|MId=o110120280101|Strong=3807a 16 ָכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_12:28!10|MId=o110120280102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17-18 מֵעֲל֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1KI_12:28!11|MId=o110120280111|Strong=4480 18 עֲל֣וֹת עָלָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 14 advcl _ Gloss=going.up|Ref=1KI_12:28!11|MId=o110120280112|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:110120280151;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=1KI_12:28!12|MId=o110120280121|Strong=3389 20 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 21 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=1KI_12:28!13|MId=o110120280131|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 21-22 אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֱלֹהֶ֙י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 parataxis _ Gloss=gods|Ref=1KI_12:28!14|MId=o110120280141|Strong=0430 22 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1KI_12:28!14|MId=o110120280142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 21 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Israel|Ref=1KI_12:28!15|MId=o110120280151|Strong=3478 24 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=1KI_12:28!16|MId=o110120280161|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25-26 הֶעֱל֖וּךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הֶעֱל֖וּ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they|Ref=1KI_12:28!17|MId=o110120280171|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:110120280141;A0:110120280172;|Type=qatal 26 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=brought.you.up|Ref=1KI_12:28!17|MId=o110120280172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27-28 מֵאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_12:28!18|MId=o110120280181|Strong=4480 28 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=1KI_12:28!18|MId=o110120280182|Strong=0776 29 מִצְרָֽיִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=1KI_12:28!19|MId=o110120280191|Strong=4714|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=1KI_12:28!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
