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 — son, I, soul — and what happens in the verse to son, thee, soul, 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. וַיִּתְמֹדֵ֤ד עַל־הַיֶּ֙לֶד֙ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ פְּעָמִ֔ים וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔י תָּ֥שָׁב נָ֛א נֶֽפֶשׁ־הַיֶּ֥לֶד הַזֶּ֖ה עַל־קִרְבּֽוֹ׃ [And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said: 'O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come back into him.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.646/) ## 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:620 # text = וַיִּתְמֹדֵ֤ד עַל־הַיֶּ֙לֶד֙ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ פְּעָמִ֔ים וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔י תָּ֥שָׁב נָ֛א נֶֽפֶשׁ־הַיֶּ֥לֶד הַזֶּ֖ה עַל־קִרְבּֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1KI.17.21 1-2 וַיִּתְמֹדֵ֤ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_17:21!1|MId=o110170210011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתְמֹדֵ֤ד מָדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPOLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.stretched.himself|Ref=1KI_17:21!1|MId=o110170210012|Strong=4058|Frame=A0:110170180031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=1KI_17:21!2|MId=o110170210021|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַיֶּ֙לֶד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_17:21!3|MId=o110170210031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 יֶּ֙לֶד֙ יֶלֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=lad|Ref=1KI_17:21!3|MId=o110170210032|Strong=3206 6 שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=1KI_17:21!4|MId=o110170210041|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 7 פְּעָמִ֔ים פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=times|Ref=1KI_17:21!5|MId=o110170210051|Strong=6471 8-9 וַיִּקְרָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_17:21!6|MId=o110170210061|Strong=2050b 9 יִּקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.called.out|Ref=1KI_17:21!6|MId=o110170210062|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:110170180031;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_17:21!7|MId=o110170210071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 11 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1KI_17:21!8|MId=o110170210081|Strong=3068 12-13 וַיֹּאמַ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_17:21!9|MId=o110170210091|Strong=2050b 13 יֹּאמַ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1KI_17:21!9|MId=o110170210092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:110170180031;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=1KI_17:21!10|MId=o110170210101|Strong=3068 15-16 אֱלֹהָ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֱלֹה אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=1KI_17:21!11|MId=o110170210111|Strong=0430 16 ָ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1KI_17:21!11|MId=o110170210112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 תָּ֥שָׁב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 ccomp _ Gloss=let.it.return|Ref=1KI_17:21!12|MId=o110170210121|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:110170210141;|Type=jussive 18 נָ֛א נָא INTJ _ _ 17 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=1KI_17:21!13|MId=o110170210131|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 19 נֶֽפֶשׁ־ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=the.life|Ref=1KI_17:21!14|MId=o110170210141|Strong=5315|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַיֶּ֥לֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1KI_17:21!15|MId=o110170210151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 יֶּ֥לֶד יֶלֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.lad|Ref=1KI_17:21!15|MId=o110170210152|Strong=3206 22-23 הַזֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_17:21!16|MId=o110170210161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 זֶּ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1KI_17:21!16|MId=o110170210162|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 24 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_17:21!17|MId=o110170210171|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 קִרְבּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=part[s]|Ref=1KI_17:21!18|MId=o110170210181|Strong=7130 26 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.inward|Ref=1KI_17:21!18|MId=o110170210182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=1KI_17:21!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתְמֹדֵד *he stretched himself* | wayyiqtol · hithpolel | | | | | | יִּקְרָא *he called out* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֹּאמַר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תָּשָׁב *let it return* | jussive · qal | נֶֽפֶשׁ־ *the life* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
