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 — shaft, head, shield bearer — and what happens in the verse to beam, hundred shekels, 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. וְעֵ֣ץ חֲנִית֗וֹ כִּמְנוֹר֙ אֹֽרְגִ֔ים וְלַהֶ֣בֶת חֲנִית֔וֹ שֵׁשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת שְׁקָלִ֖ים בַּרְזֶ֑ל וְנֹשֵׂ֥א הַצִּנָּ֖ה הֹלֵ֥ךְ לְפָנָֽיו׃ [And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer went before him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.458/) ## 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:412 # text = וְעֵ֣ץ חֲנִית֗וֹ כִּמְנוֹר֙ אֹֽרְגִ֔ים וְלַהֶ֣בֶת חֲנִית֔וֹ שֵׁשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת שְׁקָלִ֖ים בַּרְזֶ֑ל וְנֹשֵׂ֥א הַצִּנָּ֖ה הֹלֵ֥ךְ לְפָנָֽיו׃ # verse = 1SA.17.7 1-2 וְעֵ֣ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_17:7!2|MId=o090170070021|Strong=2050b 2 עֵ֣ץ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.wood|Ref=1SA_17:7!2|MId=o090170070022|Strong=6086 3-4 חֲנִית֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 חֲנִית חֲנִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.spear|Ref=1SA_17:7!3|MId=o090170070031|Strong=2595 4 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_17:7!3|MId=o090170070032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-6 כִּמְנוֹר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=[was].like|Ref=1SA_17:7!4|MId=o090170070041|Strong=3509a 6 מְנוֹר֙ מָנוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.beam|Ref=1SA_17:7!4|MId=o090170070042|Strong=4500 7 אֹֽרְגִ֔ים אָרַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.weavers|Ref=1SA_17:7!5|MId=o090170070051|Strong=0707|Type=participle_active 8-9 וְלַהֶ֣בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_17:7!6|MId=o090170070061|Strong=2050b 9 לַהֶ֣בֶת לַהֶבֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.blade|Ref=1SA_17:7!6|MId=o090170070062|Strong=3852 10-11 חֲנִית֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 חֲנִית חֲנִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.spear|Ref=1SA_17:7!7|MId=o090170070071|Strong=2595 11 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_17:7!7|MId=o090170070072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 שֵׁשׁ־ שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=[was].six|Ref=1SA_17:7!8|MId=o090170070081|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 13 מֵא֥וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 12 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=1SA_17:7!9|MId=o090170070091|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 14 שְׁקָלִ֖ים שֶׁקֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=shekels|Ref=1SA_17:7!10|MId=o090170070101|Strong=8255 15 בַּרְזֶ֑ל בַּרְזֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=iron|Ref=1SA_17:7!11|MId=o090170070111|Strong=1270 16-17 וְנֹשֵׂ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_17:7!12|MId=o090170070121|Strong=2050b 17 נֹשֵׂ֥א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=the.bearer|Ref=1SA_17:7!12|MId=o090170070122|Strong=5375|Frame=A1:090170070132;|Type=participle_active 18-19 הַצִּנָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_17:7!13|MId=o090170070131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 צִּנָּ֖ה צִנָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.body.shield|Ref=1SA_17:7!13|MId=o090170070132|Strong=6793a 20 הֹלֵ֥ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[was].walking|Ref=1SA_17:7!14|MId=o090170070141|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:090170070122;|Type=participle_active 21-23 לְפָנָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_17:7!15|MId=o090170070151|Strong=3807a 22 פָנָֽי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_17:7!15|MId=o090170070152|Strong=6440 23 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_17:7!15|MId=o090170070153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=1SA_17:7!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נֹשֵׂא *the bearer* | participle active · qal | | צִּנָּה *the body shield* | | | | הֹלֵךְ *\[was\] walking* | participle active · qal | נֹשֵׂא *the bearer* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
