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 — Saul, I, thy — and what happens in the verse to commandment, people, LORD, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר שָׁא֤וּל אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל֙ חָטָ֔אתִי כִּֽי־עָבַ֥רְתִּי אֶת־פִּֽי־יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־דְּבָרֶ֑יךָ כִּ֤י יָרֵ֙אתִי֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וָאֶשְׁמַ֖ע בְּקוֹלָֽם׃ [And Saul said unto Samuel: 'I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words; because I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.408/) ## 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:371 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר שָׁא֤וּל אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל֙ חָטָ֔אתִי כִּֽי־עָבַ֥רְתִּי אֶת־פִּֽי־יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־דְּבָרֶ֑יךָ כִּ֤י יָרֵ֙אתִי֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וָאֶשְׁמַ֖ע בְּקוֹלָֽם׃ # verse = 1SA.15.24 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:24!1|MId=o090150240011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_15:24!1|MId=o090150240012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090150240021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שָׁא֤וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_15:24!2|MId=o090150240021|Strong=7586 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_15:24!3|MId=o090150240031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 שְׁמוּאֵל֙ שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_15:24!4|MId=o090150240041|Strong=8050 6 חָטָ֔אתִי חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.sinned|Ref=1SA_15:24!5|MId=o090150240051|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:090150240021;|Type=qatal 7 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1SA_15:24!6|MId=o090150240061|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 8 עָבַ֥רְתִּי עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 advcl _ Gloss=I.have.transgressed|Ref=1SA_15:24!7|MId=o090150240071|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:090150240021;|Type=qatal 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_15:24!8|MId=o090150240081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 פִּֽי־ פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.mouth|Ref=1SA_15:24!9|MId=o090150240091|Strong=6310|SpaceAfter=No 11 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=1SA_15:24!10|MId=o090150240101|Strong=3068 12-13 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:24!11|MId=o090150240111|Strong=2050b 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_15:24!11|MId=o090150240112|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14-15 דְּבָרֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 דְּבָרֶ֑י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=words|Ref=1SA_15:24!12|MId=o090150240121|Strong=1697 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1SA_15:24!12|MId=o090150240122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1SA_15:24!13|MId=o090150240131|Strong=3588 17 יָרֵ֙אתִי֙ יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 advcl _ Gloss=I.feared|Ref=1SA_15:24!14|MId=o090150240141|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:090150240021;A1:090150240162;|Type=qatal 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_15:24!15|MId=o090150240151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_15:24!16|MId=o090150240161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=1SA_15:24!16|MId=o090150240162|Strong=5971 21-22 וָאֶשְׁמַ֖ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:24!17|MId=o090150240171|Strong=2050b 22 אֶשְׁמַ֖ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.listened|Ref=1SA_15:24!17|MId=o090150240172|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:090150240021;|Type=wayyiqtol 23-25 בְּקוֹלָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_15:24!18|MId=o090150240181|Strong=0871a 24 קוֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=voice|Ref=1SA_15:24!18|MId=o090150240182|Strong=6963 25 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=1SA_15:24!18|MId=o090150240183|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_15:24!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | | חָטָאתִי *I have sinned* | qatal · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | | עָבַרְתִּי *I have transgressed* | qatal · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | | יָרֵאתִי *I feared* | qatal · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | עָם *people* | | | | אֶשְׁמַע *I listened* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
