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, Saul — and what happens in the verse to Gilgal, sacrifices, peace offerings, 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 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֵּלְכ֨וּ כָל־הָעָ֜ם הַגִּלְגָּ֗ל וַיַּמְלִכוּ֩ שָׁ֨ם אֶת־שָׁא֜וּל לִפְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ בַּגִּלְגָּ֔ל וַיִּזְבְּחוּ־שָׁ֛ם זְבָחִ֥ים שְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּשְׂמַ֨ח שָׁ֥ם שָׁא֛וּל וְכָל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַד־מְאֹֽד׃פ [And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.274/) ## 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:1SA:247 # text = וַיֵּלְכ֨וּ כָל־הָעָ֜ם הַגִּלְגָּ֗ל וַיַּמְלִכוּ֩ שָׁ֨ם אֶת־שָׁא֜וּל לִפְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ בַּגִּלְגָּ֔ל וַיִּזְבְּחוּ־שָׁ֛ם זְבָחִ֥ים שְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּשְׂמַ֨ח שָׁ֥ם שָׁא֛וּל וְכָל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַד־מְאֹֽד׃פ # verse = 1SA.11.15 1-2 וַיֵּלְכ֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_11:15!1|MId=o090110150011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּלְכ֨וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=1SA_11:15!1|MId=o090110150012|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:090110150032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=1SA_11:15!2|MId=o090110150021|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָעָ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_11:15!3|MId=o090110150031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 עָ֜ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=people|Ref=1SA_11:15!3|MId=o090110150032|Strong=5971 6-7 הַגִּלְגָּ֗ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_11:15!4|MId=o090110150041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 גִּלְגָּ֗ל גִּלְגָּל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Gilgal|Ref=1SA_11:15!4|MId=o090110150042|Strong=1537 8-9 וַיַּמְלִכוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_11:15!5|MId=o090110150051|Strong=2050b 9 יַּמְלִכוּ֩ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.made.king|Ref=1SA_11:15!5|MId=o090110150052|Strong=4427|Frame=AA:090110150032;A0:090110150081;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 שָׁ֨ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=1SA_11:15!6|MId=o090110150061|Strong=8033 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_11:15!7|MId=o090110150071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12 שָׁא֜וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 9 obj _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_11:15!8|MId=o090110150081|Strong=7586 13-14 לִפְנֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_11:15!9|MId=o090110150091|Strong=3807a 14 פְנֵ֤י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_11:15!9|MId=o090110150092|Strong=6440 15 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_11:15!10|MId=o090110150101|Strong=3068 16-18 בַּגִּלְגָּ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_11:15!11|MId=o090110150111|Strong=0871a 17 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_11:15!11|MId=o090110150111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 גִּלְגָּ֔ל גִּלְגָּל PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Gilgal|Ref=1SA_11:15!11|MId=o090110150112|Strong=1537 19-20 וַיִּזְבְּחוּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_11:15!12|MId=o090110150121|Strong=2050b 20 יִּזְבְּחוּ־ זָבַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.sacrificed|Ref=1SA_11:15!12|MId=o090110150122|Strong=2076|Frame=A0:090110150032;A1:090110150141;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 שָׁ֛ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=1SA_11:15!13|MId=o090110150131|Strong=8033 22 זְבָחִ֥ים זֶבַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 obj _ Gloss=sacrifices|Ref=1SA_11:15!14|MId=o090110150141|Strong=2077 23 שְׁלָמִ֖ים שֶׁלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 xcomp _ Gloss=peace.offerings|Ref=1SA_11:15!15|MId=o090110150151|Strong=8002 24-25 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_11:15!16|MId=o090110150161|Strong=3807a 25 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_11:15!16|MId=o090110150162|Strong=6440 26 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_11:15!17|MId=o090110150171|Strong=3068 27-28 וַיִּשְׂמַ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_11:15!18|MId=o090110150181|Strong=2050b 28 יִּשְׂמַ֨ח שָׂמַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.rejoiced|Ref=1SA_11:15!18|MId=o090110150182|Strong=8055|Frame=A0:090110150201;090110150221;|Type=wayyiqtol 29 שָׁ֥ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=1SA_11:15!19|MId=o090110150191|Strong=8033 30 שָׁא֛וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 28 nsubj _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_11:15!20|MId=o090110150201|Strong=7586 31-32 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_11:15!21|MId=o090110150211|Strong=2050b 32 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=1SA_11:15!21|MId=o090110150212|Strong=3605 33 אַנְשֵׁ֥י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.men|Ref=1SA_11:15!22|MId=o090110150221|Strong=0376 34 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_11:15!23|MId=o090110150231|Strong=3478 35 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 36 case _ Gloss=up.to|Ref=1SA_11:15!24|MId=o090110150241|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 36 מְאֹֽד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 28 obl _ Gloss=muchness|Ref=1SA_11:15!25|MId=o090110150251|Strong=3966|SpaceAfter=No 37 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=1SA_11:15!25|SpaceAfter=No 38 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=1SA_11:15!25 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
