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 — people, Thou, Thy — and what happens in the verse to heaven, rain, name, sin, people, 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. בְּהֵעָצֵ֥ר שָׁמַ֛יִם וְלֹא־יִהְיֶ֥ה מָטָ֖ר כִּ֣י יֶחֶטְאוּ־לָ֑ךְ וְהִֽתְפַּֽלְל֞וּ אֶל־הַמָּק֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ וְהוֹד֣וּ אֶת־שְׁמֶ֔ךָ וּמֵחַטָּאתָ֥ם יְשׁוּב֖וּן כִּ֥י תַעֲנֵֽם׃ [When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, when they do sin against Thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess Thy name, and turn from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.317/) ## 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:302 # text = בְּהֵעָצֵ֥ר שָׁמַ֛יִם וְלֹא־יִהְיֶ֥ה מָטָ֖ר כִּ֣י יֶחֶטְאוּ־לָ֑ךְ וְהִֽתְפַּֽלְל֞וּ אֶל־הַמָּק֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ וְהוֹד֣וּ אֶת־שְׁמֶ֔ךָ וּמֵחַטָּאתָ֥ם יְשׁוּב֖וּן כִּ֥י תַעֲנֵֽם׃ # verse = 1KI.8.35 1-2 בְּהֵעָצֵ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=1KI_8:35!1|MId=o110080350011|Strong=0871a 2 הֵעָצֵ֥ר עָצַר VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 0 root _ Gloss=are.shut.up|Ref=1KI_8:35!1|MId=o110080350012|Strong=6113|Frame=A1:110080350021;|Type=infinitive_construct 3 שָׁמַ֛יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].heavens|Ref=1KI_8:35!2|MId=o110080350021|Strong=8064 4-5 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:35!3|MId=o110080350031|Strong=2050b 5 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1KI_8:35!3|MId=o110080350032|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 יִהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=1KI_8:35!4|MId=o110080350041|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:110080350051;|Type=yiqtol 7 מָטָ֖ר מָטַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=rain|Ref=1KI_8:35!5|MId=o110080350051|Strong=4306 8 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1KI_8:35!6|MId=o110080350061|Strong=3588 9 יֶחֶטְאוּ־ חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.will.sin|Ref=1KI_8:35!7|MId=o110080350071|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:110080340061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_8:35!8|MId=o110080350081|Strong=3807a 11 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_8:35!8|MId=o110080350082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְהִֽתְפַּֽלְל֞וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:35!9|MId=o110080350091|Strong=2050b 13 הִֽתְפַּֽלְל֞וּ פָּלַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.pray|Ref=1KI_8:35!9|MId=o110080350092|Strong=6419|Frame=A0:110080340061;|Type=weqatal 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_8:35!10|MId=o110080350101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 הַמָּק֤וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_8:35!11|MId=o110080350111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מָּק֤וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=1KI_8:35!11|MId=o110080350112|Strong=4725 17-18 הַזֶּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_8:35!12|MId=o110080350121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 זֶּה֙ זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 16 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1KI_8:35!12|MId=o110080350122|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 19-20 וְהוֹד֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:35!13|MId=o110080350131|Strong=2050b 20 הוֹד֣וּ יָדָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.praise|Ref=1KI_8:35!13|MId=o110080350132|Strong=3034|Frame=AA:110080340061;A0:110080350151;|Type=weqatal 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1KI_8:35!14|MId=o110080350141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 שְׁמֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=1KI_8:35!15|MId=o110080350151|Strong=8034 23 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1KI_8:35!15|MId=o110080350152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-27 וּמֵחַטָּאתָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:35!16|MId=o110080350161|Strong=2050b 25 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_8:35!16|MId=o110080350162|Strong=4480 26 חַטָּאת חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=sin|Ref=1KI_8:35!16|MId=o110080350163|Strong=2403 27 ָ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=1KI_8:35!16|MId=o110080350164|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28-29 יְשׁוּב֖וּן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 יְשׁוּב֖וּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they|Ref=1KI_8:35!17|MId=o110080350171|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:110080340061;|Type=yiqtol 29 ן נ X _ _ 28 nmod _ Gloss=will.turn.back|Ref=1KI_8:35!17|MId=o110080350172|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 30 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1KI_8:35!18|MId=o110080350181|Strong=3588 31-32 תַעֲנֵֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 תַעֲנ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 advcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1KI_8:35!19|MId=o110080350191|Strong=6031|Frame=AA:110080280071;A0:110080350192;|Type=yiqtol 32 ֵֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 obj _ Gloss=will.afflict.them|Ref=1KI_8:35!19|MId=o110080350192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=1KI_8:35!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
