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 — thou, Ahab, I — and what happens in the verse to Ahab, evil, 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. הֲ‍ֽרָאִ֔יתָ כִּֽי־נִכְנַ֥ע אַחְאָ֖ב מִלְּפָנָ֑י יַ֜עַן כִּֽי־נִכְנַ֣ע מִפָּנַ֗י לֹֽא־אָבִ֤יא הָֽרָעָה֙ בְּיָמָ֔יו בִּימֵ֣י בְנ֔וֹ אָבִ֥יא הָרָעָ֖ה עַל־בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ ['Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before Me? because he humbleth himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.801/) ## 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:762 # text = הֲ‍ֽרָאִ֔יתָ כִּֽי־נִכְנַ֥ע אַחְאָ֖ב מִלְּפָנָ֑י יַ֜עַן כִּֽי־נִכְנַ֣ע מִפָּנַ֗י לֹֽא־אָבִ֤יא הָֽרָעָה֙ בְּיָמָ֔יו בִּימֵ֣י בְנ֔וֹ אָבִ֥יא הָרָעָ֖ה עַל־בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1KI.21.29 1-2 הֲ‍ֽרָאִ֔יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ‍ֽ הֲ PART _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=have|Ref=1KI_21:29!1|MId=o110210290011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 רָאִ֔יתָ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.seen?|Ref=1KI_21:29!1|MId=o110210290012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:110210280051;A1:110210290031;|Type=qatal 3 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1KI_21:29!2|MId=o110210290021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 4 נִכְנַ֥ע כָּנַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.has.humbled.himself|Ref=1KI_21:29!3|MId=o110210290031|Strong=3665|Frame=A0:110210290041;|Type=qatal 5 אַחְאָ֖ב אַחְאָב PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Ahab|Ref=1KI_21:29!4|MId=o110210290041|Strong=0256 6-9 מִלְּפָנָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_21:29!5|MId=o110210290051|Strong=4480 7 לְּ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1KI_21:29!5|MId=o110210290052|Strong=3807a 8 פָנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=face|Ref=1KI_21:29!5|MId=o110210290053|Strong=6440 9 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=1KI_21:29!5|MId=o110210290054|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 יַ֜עַן יַעַן ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=because|Ref=1KI_21:29!6|MId=o110210290061|Strong=3282 11 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1KI_21:29!7|MId=o110210290071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 12 נִכְנַ֣ע כָּנַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.humbled.himself|Ref=1KI_21:29!8|MId=o110210290081|Strong=3665|Frame=A0:110210290041;|Type=qatal 13-15 מִפָּנַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_21:29!9|MId=o110210290091|Strong=4480 14 פָּנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=1KI_21:29!9|MId=o110210290092|Strong=6440 15 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=1KI_21:29!9|MId=o110210290093|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1KI_21:29!10|MId=o110210290101|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 17 אָבִ֤יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.bring|Ref=1KI_21:29!12|MId=o110210290121|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:110210280031;A0:110210290132;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 הָֽרָעָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_21:29!13|MId=o110210290131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 רָעָה֙ רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=evil|Ref=1KI_21:29!13|MId=o110210290132|Strong=7451b 20-22 בְּיָמָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1KI_21:29!14|MId=o110210290141|Strong=0871a 21 יָמָ֔י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=1KI_21:29!14|MId=o110210290142|Strong=3117 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_21:29!14|MId=o110210290143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 בִּימֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1KI_21:29!15|MId=o110210290151|Strong=0871a 24 ימֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 obl _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=1KI_21:29!15|MId=o110210290152|Strong=3117 25-26 בְנ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בְנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.son|Ref=1KI_21:29!16|MId=o110210290161|Strong=1121 26 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_21:29!16|MId=o110210290162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 אָבִ֥יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.bring|Ref=1KI_21:29!17|MId=o110210290171|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:110210280031;A0:110210290182;|Type=yiqtol 28-29 הָרָעָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_21:29!18|MId=o110210290181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 רָעָ֖ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=evil|Ref=1KI_21:29!18|MId=o110210290182|Strong=7451b 30 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=1KI_21:29!19|MId=o110210290191|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 31-32 בֵּיתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בֵּית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=1KI_21:29!20|MId=o110210290201|Strong=1004 32 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_21:29!20|MId=o110210290202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=1KI_21:29!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
