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 — Baasa king, king — and what happens in the verse to Ramah, any, 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. וַיַּ֨עַל בַּעְשָׁ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עַל־יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּ֖בֶן אֶת־הָרָמָ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֗י תֵּ֚ת יֹצֵ֣א וָבָ֔א לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃ [And Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.572/) ## 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:548 # text = וַיַּ֨עַל בַּעְשָׁ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עַל־יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּ֖בֶן אֶת־הָרָמָ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֗י תֵּ֚ת יֹצֵ֣א וָבָ֔א לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃ # verse = 1KI.15.17 1-2 וַיַּ֨עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_15:17!1|MId=o110150170011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֨עַל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.came.up|Ref=1KI_15:17!1|MId=o110150170012|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:110150170021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בַּעְשָׁ֤א בַּעְשָׁא PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Baasha|Ref=1KI_15:17!2|MId=o110150170021|Strong=1201 4 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=1KI_15:17!3|MId=o110150170031|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 5 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1KI_15:17!4|MId=o110150170041|Strong=3478 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=1KI_15:17!5|MId=o110150170051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 7 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=1KI_15:17!6|MId=o110150170061|Strong=3063 8-9 וַיִּ֖בֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_15:17!7|MId=o110150170071|Strong=2050b 9 יִּ֖בֶן בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.built|Ref=1KI_15:17!7|MId=o110150170072|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:110150170021;A1:110150170092;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_15:17!8|MId=o110150170081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הָרָמָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_15:17!9|MId=o110150170091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 רָמָ֑ה רָמָה PROPN _ _ 9 obj _ Gloss=Ramah|Ref=1KI_15:17!9|MId=o110150170092|Strong=7414 13-14 לְבִלְתִּ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_15:17!10|MId=o110150170101|Strong=3807a 14 בִלְתִּ֗י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1KI_15:17!10|MId=o110150170102|Strong=1115 15 תֵּ֚ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 advcl _ Gloss=to.permit|Ref=1KI_15:17!11|MId=o110150170111|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:110150170021;A1:110150170121;110150170132;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 יֹצֵ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 ccomp _ Gloss=[one.who].goes.out|Ref=1KI_15:17!12|MId=o110150170121|Strong=3318|Type=participle_active 17-18 וָבָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_15:17!13|MId=o110150170131|Strong=2050b 18 בָ֔א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=[one.who].comes|Ref=1KI_15:17!13|MId=o110150170132|Strong=0935|Type=participle_active 19-20 לְאָסָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_15:17!14|MId=o110150170141|Strong=3807a 20 אָסָ֖א אָסָא PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Asa|Ref=1KI_15:17!14|MId=o110150170142|Strong=0609 21 מֶ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=1KI_15:17!15|MId=o110150170151|Strong=4428 22 יְהוּדָֽה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=1KI_15:17!16|MId=o110150170161|Strong=3063|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=1KI_15:17!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַל *he came up* | wayyiqtol · qal | בַּעְשָׁא *Baasha* | | | | | יִּבֶן *he built* | wayyiqtol · qal | בַּעְשָׁא *Baasha* | רָמָה *Ramah* | | | | תֵּת *to permit* | infinitive construct · qal | בַּעְשָׁא *Baasha* | יֹצֵא *\[one who\] goes out* + בָא *\[one who\] comes* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
