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, I — and what happens in the verse to me, thee, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר חָטָ֔אתִי עַתָּ֗ה כַּבְּדֵ֥נִי נָ֛א נֶ֥גֶד זִקְנֵֽי־עַמִּ֖י וְנֶ֣גֶד יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשׁ֣וּב עִמִּ֔י וְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֖יתִי לַֽיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ [Then he said: 'I have sinned; yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.414/) ## 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:377 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר חָטָ֔אתִי עַתָּ֗ה כַּבְּדֵ֥נִי נָ֛א נֶ֥גֶד זִקְנֵֽי־עַמִּ֖י וְנֶ֣גֶד יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשׁ֣וּב עִמִּ֔י וְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֖יתִי לַֽיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ # verse = 1SA.15.30 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:30!1|MId=o090150300011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_15:30!1|MId=o090150300012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090150260041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 חָטָ֔אתִי חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.sinned|Ref=1SA_15:30!2|MId=o090150300021|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:090150260041;|Type=qatal 4 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=1SA_15:30!3|MId=o090150300031|Strong=6258 5-6 כַּבְּדֵ֥נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 כַּבְּד כָּבֵד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=honor|Ref=1SA_15:30!4|MId=o090150300041|Strong=3513|Frame=A0:090150280031;A1:090150300042;|Type=imperative 6 ֵ֥נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=1SA_15:30!4|MId=o090150300042|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 7 נָ֛א נָא INTJ _ _ 5 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=1SA_15:30!5|MId=o090150300051|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 8 נֶ֥גֶד נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_15:30!6|MId=o090150300061|Strong=5048 9 זִקְנֵֽי־ זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=1SA_15:30!7|MId=o090150300071|Strong=2205|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 עַמִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.people|Ref=1SA_15:30!8|MId=o090150300081|Strong=5971 11 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1SA_15:30!8|MId=o090150300082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְנֶ֣גֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:30!9|MId=o090150300091|Strong=2050b 13 נֶ֣גֶד נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 8 conj _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_15:30!9|MId=o090150300092|Strong=5048 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=1SA_15:30!10|MId=o090150300101|Strong=3478 15-16 וְשׁ֣וּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:30!11|MId=o090150300111|Strong=2050b 16 שׁ֣וּב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=return|Ref=1SA_15:30!11|MId=o090150300112|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:090150280031;|Type=imperative 17-18 עִמִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_15:30!12|MId=o090150300121|Strong=5973 18 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=1SA_15:30!12|MId=o090150300122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֖יתִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_15:30!13|MId=o090150300131|Strong=2050b 20 הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֖יתִי חוה VERB _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.will.bow.down|Ref=1SA_15:30!13|MId=o090150300132|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:090150260041;|Type=qatal 21-22 לַֽיהוָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_15:30!14|MId=o090150300141|Strong=3807a 22 יהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_15:30!14|MId=o090150300142|Strong=3068 23-24 אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֱלֹהֶֽי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=1SA_15:30!15|MId=o090150300151|Strong=0430 24 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1SA_15:30!15|MId=o090150300152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=1SA_15:30!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - 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 | | | | | | חָטָאתִי *I have sinned* | qatal · qal | | | | | | כַּבְּד *honor* | imperative · piel | | ֵנִי *me* | | | | שׁוּב *return* | imperative · qal | | | | | | הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵיתִי *I will bow down* | qatal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
