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 — staves — and what happens in the verse to ends, holy place, staves, 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. וַֽיַּאֲרִכוּ֮ הַבַּדִּים֒ וַיֵּרָאוּ֩ רָאשֵׁ֨י הַבַּדִּ֤ים מִן־הַקֹּ֙דֶשׁ֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י הַדְּבִ֔יר וְלֹ֥א יֵרָא֖וּ הַח֑וּצָה וַיִּ֣הְיוּ שָׁ֔ם עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place, even before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without; and there they are unto this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1KI.290/) ## 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:275 # text = וַֽיַּאֲרִכוּ֮ הַבַּדִּים֒ וַיֵּרָאוּ֩ רָאשֵׁ֨י הַבַּדִּ֤ים מִן־הַקֹּ֙דֶשׁ֙ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י הַדְּבִ֔יר וְלֹ֥א יֵרָא֖וּ הַח֑וּצָה וַיִּ֣הְיוּ שָׁ֔ם עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = 1KI.8.8 1-2 וַֽיַּאֲרִכוּ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:8!1|MId=o110080080011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּאֲרִכוּ֮ אָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.were.long|Ref=1KI_8:8!1|MId=o110080080012|Strong=0748|Frame=A0:110080080022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַבַּדִּים֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_8:8!2|MId=o110080080021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 בַּדִּים֒ בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=poles|Ref=1KI_8:8!2|MId=o110080080022|Strong=0905a 5-6 וַיֵּרָאוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:8!3|MId=o110080080031|Strong=2050b 6 יֵּרָאוּ֩ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.visible|Ref=1KI_8:8!3|MId=o110080080032|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:110080080041;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 רָאשֵׁ֨י רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.heads|Ref=1KI_8:8!4|MId=o110080080041|Strong=7218 8-9 הַבַּדִּ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1KI_8:8!5|MId=o110080080051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 בַּדִּ֤ים בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.poles|Ref=1KI_8:8!5|MId=o110080080052|Strong=0905a 10 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1KI_8:8!6|MId=o110080080061|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַקֹּ֙דֶשׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the.holy|Ref=1KI_8:8!7|MId=o110080080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 קֹּ֙דֶשׁ֙ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=1KI_8:8!7|MId=o110080080072|Strong=6944 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=1KI_8:8!8|MId=o110080080081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14 פְּנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=the.face|Ref=1KI_8:8!9|MId=o110080080091|Strong=6440 15-16 הַדְּבִ֔יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1KI_8:8!10|MId=o110080080101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 דְּבִ֔יר דְּבִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.innermost.room|Ref=1KI_8:8!10|MId=o110080080102|Strong=1687 17-18 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:8!11|MId=o110080080111|Strong=2050b 18 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1KI_8:8!11|MId=o110080080112|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 יֵרָא֖וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.visible|Ref=1KI_8:8!12|MId=o110080080121|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:110080080041;|Type=yiqtol 20-22 הַח֑וּצָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=1KI_8:8!13|MId=o110080080131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 ח֑וּצ חוּץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_8:8!13|MId=o110080080132|Strong=2351 22 ָה ה X _ _ 21 nmod _ Gloss=outside|Ref=1KI_8:8!13|MId=o110080080133|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 23-24 וַיִּ֣הְיוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1KI_8:8!14|MId=o110080080141|Strong=2050b 24 יִּ֣הְיוּ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.have.been|Ref=1KI_8:8!14|MId=o110080080142|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:110080080052;|Type=wayyiqtol 25 שָׁ֔ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=1KI_8:8!15|MId=o110080080151|Strong=8033 26 עַ֖ד עַד ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=1KI_8:8!16|MId=o110080080161|Strong=5704 27-28 הַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1KI_8:8!17|MId=o110080080171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=1KI_8:8!17|MId=o110080080172|Strong=3117 29-30 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1KI_8:8!18|MId=o110080080181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 28 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1KI_8:8!18|MId=o110080080182|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=1KI_8:8!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּאֲרִכוּ *they were long* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | בַּדִּים *poles* | | | | | יֵּרָאוּ *they were visible* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | רָאשֵׁי *the heads* | | | | **not** יֵרָאוּ *they were visible* | yiqtol · niphal | | רָאשֵׁי *the heads* | | | | יִּהְיוּ *they have been* | wayyiqtol · qal | בַּדִּים *the poles* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
