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 — you, people, Thou — and what happens in the verse to me, God, heart, 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. עֲנֵ֤נִי יְהוָה֙ עֲנֵ֔נִי וְיֵֽדְעוּ֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאַתָּ֛ה הֲסִבֹּ֥תָ אֶת־לִבָּ֖ם אֲחֹרַנִּֽית׃ [Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that Thou, LORD, art God, for Thou didst turn their heart backward.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.690/) ## 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:660 # text = עֲנֵ֤נִי יְהוָה֙ עֲנֵ֔נִי וְיֵֽדְעוּ֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאַתָּ֛ה הֲסִבֹּ֥תָ אֶת־לִבָּ֖ם אֲחֹרַנִּֽית׃ # verse = 1KI.18.37 1-2 עֲנֵ֤נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 עֲנ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=answer|Ref=1KI_18:37!1|MId=o110180370011|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:110180370021;A1:110180370012;|Type=imperative 2 ֵ֤נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=1KI_18:37!1|MId=o110180370012|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 ccomp _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=1KI_18:37!2|MId=o110180370021|Strong=3068 4-5 עֲנֵ֔נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 עֲנ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 ccomp _ Gloss=answer|Ref=1KI_18:37!3|MId=o110180370031|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:110180370021;A1:110180370032;|Type=imperative 5 ֵ֔נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=1KI_18:37!3|MId=o110180370032|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 6-7 וְיֵֽדְעוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=1KI_18:37!4|MId=o110180370041|Strong=2050b 7 יֵֽדְעוּ֙ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.know|Ref=1KI_18:37!4|MId=o110180370042|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:110180370052;A1:110180370102;110180370121;|Type=yiqtol 8-9 הָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_18:37!5|MId=o110180370051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=1KI_18:37!5|MId=o110180370052|Strong=5971 10-11 הַזֶּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_18:37!6|MId=o110180370061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 זֶּ֔ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 9 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1KI_18:37!6|MId=o110180370062|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 12 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1KI_18:37!7|MId=o110180370071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 13 אַתָּ֥ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_18:37!8|MId=o110180370081|Strong=0859|Type=personal 14 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 ccomp _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=1KI_18:37!9|MId=o110180370091|Strong=3068 15-16 הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=[are].(the)|Ref=1KI_18:37!10|MId=o110180370101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 parataxis _ Gloss=God|Ref=1KI_18:37!10|MId=o110180370102|Strong=0430 17-18 וְאַתָּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_18:37!11|MId=o110180370111|Strong=2050b 18 אַתָּ֛ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_18:37!11|MId=o110180370112|Strong=0859|Type=personal 19 הֲסִבֹּ֥תָ סָבַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 16 conj _ Gloss=you.have.turned.around|Ref=1KI_18:37!12|MId=o110180370121|Strong=5437|Frame=AA:110180370112;A0:110180370141;|Type=qatal 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_18:37!13|MId=o110180370131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 לִבָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=1KI_18:37!14|MId=o110180370141|Strong=3820 22 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=1KI_18:37!14|MId=o110180370142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 אֲחֹרַנִּֽית אֲחֹרַנִּית ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=backwards|Ref=1KI_18:37!15|MId=o110180370151|Strong=0322|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=1KI_18:37!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עֲנ *answer* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | ֵנִי *me* | | | | עֲנ *answer* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | ֵנִי *me* | | | | יֵֽדְעוּ *that they may know* | yiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | אֱלֹהִים *God* + הֲסִבֹּתָ *you have turned around* | | | | הֲסִבֹּתָ *you have turned around* | qatal · hiphil | לִבּ *heart* | | | אַתָּה *you* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
