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, I, words, LORD, day, my — and what happens in the verse to words, supplication, cause, servant, 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. וְיִֽהְי֨וּ דְבָרַ֜י אֵ֗לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִתְחַנַּ֙נְתִּי֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה קְרֹבִ֛ים אֶל־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יוֹמָ֣ם וָלָ֑יְלָה לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת ׀ מִשְׁפַּ֣ט עַבְדּ֗וֹ וּמִשְׁפַּ֛ט עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל דְּבַר־י֥וֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃ [And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, as every day shall require;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.341/) ## 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:326 # text = וְיִֽהְי֨וּ דְבָרַ֜י אֵ֗לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִתְחַנַּ֙נְתִּי֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה קְרֹבִ֛ים אֶל־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יוֹמָ֣ם וָלָ֑יְלָה לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת ׀ מִשְׁפַּ֣ט עַבְדּ֗וֹ וּמִשְׁפַּ֛ט עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל דְּבַר־י֥וֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1KI.8.59 1-2 וְיִֽהְי֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:59!1|MId=o110080590011|Strong=2050b 2 יִֽהְי֨וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 cop _ Gloss=may.they.be|Ref=1KI_8:59!1|MId=o110080590012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:110080590021;|Type=jussive 3-4 דְבָרַ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 דְבָר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=words|Ref=1KI_8:59!2|MId=o110080590021|Strong=1697 4 ַ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1KI_8:59!2|MId=o110080590022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 אֵ֗לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 3 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=1KI_8:59!3|MId=o110080590031|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 6 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=1KI_8:59!4|MId=o110080590041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 הִתְחַנַּ֙נְתִּי֙ חָנַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.have.sought.favor|Ref=1KI_8:59!5|MId=o110080590051|Strong=2603|Frame=A0:110080540031;A1:110080590021;|Type=qatal 8-9 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1KI_8:59!6|MId=o110080590061|Strong=3807a 9 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1KI_8:59!6|MId=o110080590062|Strong=6440 10 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1KI_8:59!7|MId=o110080590071|Strong=3068 11 קְרֹבִ֛ים קָרֹוב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=near|Ref=1KI_8:59!8|MId=o110080590081|Strong=7138|Type=adjective 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_8:59!9|MId=o110080590091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1KI_8:59!10|MId=o110080590101|Strong=3068 14-15 אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֱלֹהֵ֖י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=1KI_8:59!11|MId=o110080590111|Strong=0430 15 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=1KI_8:59!11|MId=o110080590112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 16 יוֹמָ֣ם יוֹמָם ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=by.day|Ref=1KI_8:59!12|MId=o110080590121|Strong=3119 17-18 וָלָ֑יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:59!13|MId=o110080590131|Strong=2050b 18 לָ֑יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=night|Ref=1KI_8:59!13|MId=o110080590132|Strong=3915 19-20 לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_8:59!14|MId=o110080590141|Strong=3807a 20 עֲשׂ֣וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=do|Ref=1KI_8:59!14|MId=o110080590142|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:110080590101;A1:110080590151;110080590172;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=1KI_8:59!14 22 מִשְׁפַּ֣ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=the.justice|Ref=1KI_8:59!15|MId=o110080590151|Strong=4941 23-24 עַבְדּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.servant|Ref=1KI_8:59!16|MId=o110080590161|Strong=5650 24 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_8:59!16|MId=o110080590162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25-26 וּמִשְׁפַּ֛ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:59!17|MId=o110080590171|Strong=2050b 26 מִשְׁפַּ֛ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=the.justice|Ref=1KI_8:59!17|MId=o110080590172|Strong=4941 27-28 עַמּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.people|Ref=1KI_8:59!18|MId=o110080590181|Strong=5971 28 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1KI_8:59!18|MId=o110080590182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 27 appos _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=1KI_8:59!19|MId=o110080590191|Strong=3478 30 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=a.matter|Ref=1KI_8:59!20|MId=o110080590201|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 31 י֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.day|Ref=1KI_8:59!21|MId=o110080590211|Strong=3117 32-34 בְּיוֹמֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1KI_8:59!22|MId=o110080590221|Strong=0871a 33 יוֹמ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=1KI_8:59!22|MId=o110080590222|Strong=3117 34 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=1KI_8:59!22|MId=o110080590223|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=1KI_8:59!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
