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, this — and what happens in the verse to Samuel, 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. וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח וַיְבִיאֵ֙הוּ֙ וְה֣וּא אַדְמוֹנִ֔י עִם־יְפֵ֥ה עֵינַ֖יִם וְט֣וֹב רֹ֑אִיפ וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה ק֥וּם מְשָׁחֵ֖הוּ כִּֽי־זֶ֥ה הֽוּא׃ [And he sent, and brought him in.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.437/) [Now he was ruddy, and withal of beautiful eyes, and goodly to look upon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.438/) [And the LORD said: 'Arise, anoint him; for this is he.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.439/) ## 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:394 # text = וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח וַיְבִיאֵ֙הוּ֙ וְה֣וּא אַדְמוֹנִ֔י עִם־יְפֵ֥ה עֵינַ֖יִם וְט֣וֹב רֹ֑אִיפ וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה ק֥וּם מְשָׁחֵ֖הוּ כִּֽי־זֶ֥ה הֽוּא׃ # verse = 1SA.16.12 1-2 וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_16:12!1|MId=o090160120011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁלַ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=1SA_16:12!1|MId=o090160120012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:090160110171;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 וַיְבִיאֵ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_16:12!2|MId=o090160120021|Strong=2050b 4 יְבִיא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_16:12!2|MId=o090160120022|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:090160110171;A0:090160120023;|Type=wayyiqtol 5 ֵ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=brought.him|Ref=1SA_16:12!2|MId=o090160120023|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 6-7 וְה֣וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_16:12!3|MId=o090160120031|Strong=2050b 7 ה֣וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_16:12!3|MId=o090160120032|Strong=1931|Type=personal 8 אַדְמוֹנִ֔י אַדְמֹנִי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].red|Ref=1SA_16:12!4|MId=o090160120041|Strong=0132|Type=adjective 9 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_16:12!5|MId=o090160120051|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְפֵ֥ה יָפֶה ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=beautiful|Ref=1SA_16:12!6|MId=o090160120061|Strong=3303|Type=adjective 11 עֵינַ֖יִם עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.eyes|Ref=1SA_16:12!7|MId=o090160120071|Strong=5869 12-13 וְט֣וֹב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_16:12!8|MId=o090160120081|Strong=2050b 13 ט֣וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=good|Ref=1SA_16:12!8|MId=o090160120082|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 14 רֹ֑אִי רֳאִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.appearance|Ref=1SA_16:12!9|MId=o090160120091|Strong=7210|SpaceAfter=No 15 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=1SA_16:12!9 16-17 וַיֹּ֧אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_16:12!10|MId=o090160120101|Strong=2050b 17 יֹּ֧אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_16:12!10|MId=o090160120102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090160120121;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_16:12!11|MId=o090160120111|Strong=3068 19 ק֥וּם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 17 ccomp _ Gloss=arise|Ref=1SA_16:12!12|MId=o090160120121|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:090160110151;|Type=imperative 20-21 מְשָׁחֵ֖הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מְשָׁח מָשַׁח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 19 parataxis _ Gloss=anoint|Ref=1SA_16:12!13|MId=o090160120131|Strong=4886|Frame=A0:090160110151;A1:090160120142;|Type=imperative 21 ֵ֖הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_16:12!13|MId=o090160120132|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 22 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1SA_16:12!14|MId=o090160120141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 23 זֶ֥ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 19 advcl _ Gloss=this|Ref=1SA_16:12!15|MId=o090160120151|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 24 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].he|Ref=1SA_16:12!16|MId=o090160120161|Strong=1931|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=1SA_16:12!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יְבִיא *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵהוּ *brought him* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | קוּם *arise* | | | | | קוּם *arise* | imperative · qal | | | | | | מְשָׁח *anoint* | imperative · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
