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 — saying, evil spirit, Saul, David — and what happens in the verse to morrow, Saul, midst, spear, hand, 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. וַיְהִ֣י מִֽמָּחֳרָ֗ת וַתִּצְלַ֣ח רוּחַ֩ אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ רָעָ֤ה ׀ אֶל־שָׁאוּל֙ וַיִּתְנַבֵּ֣א בְתוֹךְ־הַבַּ֔יִת וְדָוִ֛ד מְנַגֵּ֥ן בְּיָד֖וֹ כְּי֣וֹם ׀ בְּי֑וֹם וְהַחֲנִ֖ית בְּיַד־שָׁאֽוּל׃ [And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house; and David played with his hand, as he did day by day; and Saul had his spear in his hand.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.524/) ## 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:473 # text = וַיְהִ֣י מִֽמָּחֳרָ֗ת וַתִּצְלַ֣ח רוּחַ֩ אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ רָעָ֤ה ׀ אֶל־שָׁאוּל֙ וַיִּתְנַבֵּ֣א בְתוֹךְ־הַבַּ֔יִת וְדָוִ֛ד מְנַגֵּ֥ן בְּיָד֖וֹ כְּי֣וֹם ׀ בְּי֑וֹם וְהַחֲנִ֖ית בְּיַד־שָׁאֽוּל׃ # verse = 1SA.18.10 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:10!1|MId=o090180100011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=1SA_18:10!1|MId=o090180100012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 מִֽמָּחֳרָ֗ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִֽ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=1SA_18:10!2|MId=o090180100021|Strong=4480 4 מָּחֳרָ֗ת מׇחֳרָת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=next.day|Ref=1SA_18:10!2|MId=o090180100022|Strong=4283 5-6 וַתִּצְלַ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:10!3|MId=o090180100031|Strong=2050b 6 תִּצְלַ֣ח צָלַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.rushed|Ref=1SA_18:10!3|MId=o090180100032|Strong=6743a|Frame=A0:090180100041;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 רוּחַ֩ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=a.spirit|Ref=1SA_18:10!4|MId=o090180100041|Strong=7307 8 אֱלֹהִ֨ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=1SA_18:10!5|MId=o090180100051|Strong=0430 9 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 8 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:10!5 10 רָעָ֤ה רַע ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 amod _ Gloss=evil|Ref=1SA_18:10!6|MId=o090180100061|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 11 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:10!6 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:10!7|MId=o090180100071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 שָׁאוּל֙ שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_18:10!8|MId=o090180100081|Strong=7586 14-15 וַיִּתְנַבֵּ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:10!9|MId=o090180100091|Strong=2050b 15 יִּתְנַבֵּ֣א נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.prophesied|Ref=1SA_18:10!9|MId=o090180100092|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:090180100081;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 בְתוֹךְ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_18:10!10|MId=o090180100101|Strong=0871a 17 תוֹךְ־ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=1SA_18:10!10|MId=o090180100102|Strong=8432 18-19 הַבַּ֔יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_18:10!11|MId=o090180100111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 בַּ֔יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=1SA_18:10!11|MId=o090180100112|Strong=1004 20-21 וְדָוִ֛ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:10!12|MId=o090180100121|Strong=2050b 21 דָוִ֛ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 22 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=1SA_18:10!12|MId=o090180100122|Strong=1732 22 מְנַגֵּ֥ן נָגַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].playing|Ref=1SA_18:10!13|MId=o090180100131|Strong=5059|Frame=A0:090180100122;|Type=participle_active 23-25 בְּיָד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_18:10!14|MId=o090180100141|Strong=0871a 24 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=1SA_18:10!14|MId=o090180100142|Strong=3027 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_18:10!14|MId=o090180100143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-27 כְּי֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=1SA_18:10!15|MId=o090180100151|Strong=3509a 27 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=1SA_18:10!15|MId=o090180100152|Strong=3117 28 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:10!15 29-30 בְּי֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_18:10!16|MId=o090180100161|Strong=0871a 30 י֑וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nmod _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=1SA_18:10!16|MId=o090180100162|Strong=3117 31-33 וְהַחֲנִ֖ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 35 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:10!17|MId=o090180100171|Strong=2050b 32 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_18:10!17|MId=o090180100172|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 חֲנִ֖ית חֲנִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 35 nsubj _ Gloss=spear|Ref=1SA_18:10!17|MId=o090180100173|Strong=2595 34-35 בְּיַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 34 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 35 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=1SA_18:10!18|MId=o090180100181|Strong=0871a 35 יַד־ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=1SA_18:10!18|MId=o090180100182|Strong=3027 36 שָׁאֽוּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 35 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Saul|Ref=1SA_18:10!19|MId=o090180100191|Strong=7586|SpaceAfter=No 37 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:10!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
