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 — king, child — and what happens in the verse to living child, child, wise, mother, 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. וַיַּ֨עַן הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר תְּנוּ־לָהּ֙ אֶת־הַיָּל֣וּד הַחַ֔י וְהָמֵ֖ת לֹ֣א תְמִיתֻ֑הוּ הִ֖יא אִמּֽוֹ׃ [Then the king answered and said: 'Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.135/) ## 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:125 # text = וַיַּ֨עַן הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר תְּנוּ־לָהּ֙ אֶת־הַיָּל֣וּד הַחַ֔י וְהָמֵ֖ת לֹ֣א תְמִיתֻ֑הוּ הִ֖יא אִמּֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1KI.3.27 1-2 וַיַּ֨עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_3:27!1|MId=o110030270011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֨עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=1KI_3:27!1|MId=o110030270012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:110030270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_3:27!2|MId=o110030270021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֜לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=1KI_3:27!2|MId=o110030270022|Strong=4428 5-6 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_3:27!3|MId=o110030270031|Strong=2050b 6 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1KI_3:27!3|MId=o110030270032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:110030270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 תְּנוּ־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 6 ccomp _ Gloss=give|Ref=1KI_3:27!4|MId=o110030270041|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:;A1:110030270072;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 לָהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_3:27!5|MId=o110030270051|Strong=3807a 9 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=1KI_3:27!5|MId=o110030270052|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_3:27!6|MId=o110030270061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַיָּל֣וּד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=the.[one]|Ref=1KI_3:27!7|MId=o110030270071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 יָּל֣וּד יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=born|Ref=1KI_3:27!7|MId=o110030270072|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:110030260192;|Type=participle_passive 13-14 הַחַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_3:27!8|MId=o110030270081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 חַ֔י חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 appos _ Gloss=living|Ref=1KI_3:27!8|MId=o110030270082|Strong=2416|Type=adjective 15-16 וְהָמֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_3:27!9|MId=o110030270091|Strong=2050b 16 הָמֵ֖ת מוּת VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 18 obl:npmod _ Gloss=certainly.(kill)|Ref=1KI_3:27!9|MId=o110030270092|Strong=4191|Type=infinitive_absolute 17 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1KI_3:27!10|MId=o110030270101|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18-19 תְמִיתֻ֑הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 תְמִיתֻ֑ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_3:27!11|MId=o110030270111|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:;A1:110030270112;|Type=yiqtol 19 הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=must.kill.him|Ref=1KI_3:27!11|MId=o110030270112|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 20 הִ֖יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nsubj _ Gloss=she|Ref=1KI_3:27!12|MId=o110030270121|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 21-22 אִמּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=mother|Ref=1KI_3:27!13|MId=o110030270131|Strong=0517 22 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].his|Ref=1KI_3:27!13|MId=o110030270132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=1KI_3:27!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | תְּנוּ־ *give* | imperative · qal | | יָּלוּד *born* | | | | יָּלוּד *born* | participle passive · qal | | | | | | **not** תְמִיתֻ *you* | yiqtol · hiphil | | הוּ *must kill him* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
