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 — father, sons, man — and what happens in the verse to way, Judah, 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. וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר אֲלֵהֶם֙ אֲבִיהֶ֔ם אֵֽי־זֶ֥ה הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ הָלָ֑ךְ וַיִּרְא֣וּ בָנָ֗יו אֶת־הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָלַךְ֙ אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֖א מִיהוּדָֽה׃ [And their father said unto them: 'What way went he?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:1KI:478 # text = וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר אֲלֵהֶם֙ אֲבִיהֶ֔ם אֵֽי־זֶ֥ה הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ הָלָ֑ךְ וַיִּרְא֣וּ בָנָ֗יו אֶת־הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר הָלַךְ֙ אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֖א מִיהוּדָֽה׃ # verse = 1KI.13.12 1-2 וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_13:12!1|MId=o110130120011|Strong=2050b 2 יְדַבֵּ֤ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=1KI_13:12!1|MId=o110130120012|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:110130120031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_13:12!2|MId=o110130120021|Strong=0413 4 ֵהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=1KI_13:12!2|MId=o110130120022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-6 אֲבִיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֲבִי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=1KI_13:12!3|MId=o110130120031|Strong=0001 6 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=1KI_13:12!3|MId=o110130120032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 7 אֵֽי־ אַי PART _ _ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=where?|Ref=1KI_13:12!4|MId=o110130120041|Strong=0335|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 8 זֶ֥ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 7 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=1KI_13:12!5|MId=o110130120051|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 9-10 הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=1KI_13:12!6|MId=o110130120061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 דֶּ֖רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 appos _ Gloss=way|Ref=1KI_13:12!6|MId=o110130120062|Strong=1870 11 הָלָ֑ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 acl _ Gloss=[which].he.went|Ref=1KI_13:12!7|MId=o110130120071|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:110130110151;|Type=qatal 12-13 וַיִּרְא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_13:12!8|MId=o110130120081|Strong=2050b 13 יִּרְא֣וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.had.seen|Ref=1KI_13:12!8|MId=o110130120082|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:110130120091;A1:110130120112;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 בָנָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בָנָ֗י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=1KI_13:12!9|MId=o110130120091|Strong=1121 15 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_13:12!9|MId=o110130120092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_13:12!10|MId=o110130120101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_13:12!11|MId=o110130120111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 דֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=way|Ref=1KI_13:12!11|MId=o110130120112|Strong=1870 19 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=1KI_13:12!12|MId=o110130120121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 הָלַךְ֙ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.gone|Ref=1KI_13:12!13|MId=o110130120131|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:110130120141;|Type=qatal 21 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=1KI_13:12!14|MId=o110130120141|Strong=0376 22-23 הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=1KI_13:12!15|MId=o110130120151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=1KI_13:12!15|MId=o110130120152|Strong=0430 24 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=1KI_13:12!16|MId=o110130120161|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 25 בָּ֖א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.come|Ref=1KI_13:12!17|MId=o110130120171|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:110130120141;|Type=qatal 26-27 מִיהוּדָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_13:12!18|MId=o110130120181|Strong=4480 27 יהוּדָֽה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 25 obl _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=1KI_13:12!18|MId=o110130120182|Strong=3063 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=1KI_13:12!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְדַבֵּר *he spoke* | wayyiqtol · piel | אֲבִי *father* | | | | | הָלָךְ *\[which\] he went* | qatal · qal | | | | | | יִּרְאוּ *they had seen* | wayyiqtol · qal | בָנָי *sons* | דֶּרֶךְ *way* | | | | הָלַךְ *he had gone* | qatal · qal | אִישׁ *the man* | | | | | בָּא *he had come* | qatal · qal | אִישׁ *the man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
