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 — Samuel, LORD, neighbour — and what happens in the verse to kingdom, thee, neighbour, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל קָרַ֨ע יְהוָ֜ה אֶֽת־מַמְלְכ֧וּת יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל מֵעָלֶ֖יךָ הַיּ֑וֹם וּנְתָנָ֕הּ לְרֵעֲךָ֖ הַטּ֥וֹב מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ [And Samuel said unto him: 'The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.412/) ## 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:375 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל קָרַ֨ע יְהוָ֜ה אֶֽת־מַמְלְכ֧וּת יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל מֵעָלֶ֖יךָ הַיּ֑וֹם וּנְתָנָ֕הּ לְרֵעֲךָ֖ הַטּ֥וֹב מִמֶּֽךָּ׃ # verse = 1SA.15.28 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:28!1|MId=o090150280011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_15:28!1|MId=o090150280012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090150280031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_15:28!2|MId=o090150280021|Strong=0413 4 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_15:28!2|MId=o090150280022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_15:28!3|MId=o090150280031|Strong=8050 6 קָרַ֨ע קָרַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.has.torn|Ref=1SA_15:28!4|MId=o090150280041|Strong=7167|Frame=A0:090150280051;A1:090150280071;|Type=qatal 7 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_15:28!5|MId=o090150280051|Strong=3068 8 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_15:28!6|MId=o090150280061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 מַמְלְכ֧וּת מַמְלָכוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=the.kingship|Ref=1SA_15:28!7|MId=o090150280071|Strong=4468 10 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_15:28!8|MId=o090150280081|Strong=3478 11-13 מֵעָלֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_15:28!9|MId=o090150280091|Strong=4480 12 עָלֶ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_15:28!9|MId=o090150280092|Strong=5921 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_15:28!9|MId=o090150280093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-15 הַיּ֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=1SA_15:28!10|MId=o090150280101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 יּ֑וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=1SA_15:28!10|MId=o090150280102|Strong=3117 16-18 וּנְתָנָ֕הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:28!11|MId=o090150280111|Strong=2050b 17 נְתָנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_15:28!11|MId=o090150280112|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:090150280051;A1:090150280113;|Type=qatal 18 ָ֕הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=will.give.it|Ref=1SA_15:28!11|MId=o090150280113|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19-21 לְרֵעֲךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_15:28!12|MId=o090150280121|Strong=3807a 20 רֵע רֵעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=neighbor|Ref=1SA_15:28!12|MId=o090150280122|Strong=7453 21 ֲךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1SA_15:28!12|MId=o090150280123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22-23 הַטּ֥וֹב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_15:28!13|MId=o090150280131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 טּ֥וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=good|Ref=1SA_15:28!13|MId=o090150280132|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 24-25 מִמֶּֽךָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=1SA_15:28!14|MId=o090150280141|Strong=4480 25 ֶֽךָּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod _ Gloss=than.you|Ref=1SA_15:28!14|MId=o090150280142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_15:28!14 ``` ## 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 | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | | | | | קָרַע *he has torn* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מַמְלְכוּת *the kingship* | | | | נְתָנ *he* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ָהּ *will give it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
