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 — family — and what happens in the verse to daughter, David, Merab, wife, 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. וַיְהִ֗י בְּעֵ֥ת תֵּ֛ת אֶת־מֵרַ֥ב בַּת־שָׁא֖וּל לְדָוִ֑ד וְהִ֧יא נִתְּנָ֛ה לְעַדְרִיאֵ֥ל הַמְּחֹלָתִ֖י לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ [But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.533/) ## 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:482 # text = וַיְהִ֗י בְּעֵ֥ת תֵּ֛ת אֶת־מֵרַ֥ב בַּת־שָׁא֖וּל לְדָוִ֑ד וְהִ֧יא נִתְּנָ֛ה לְעַדְרִיאֵ֥ל הַמְּחֹלָתִ֖י לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ # verse = 1SA.18.19 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:19!1|MId=o090180190011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=1SA_18:19!1|MId=o090180190012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בְּעֵ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=1SA_18:19!2|MId=o090180190021|Strong=0871a 4 עֵ֥ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.time|Ref=1SA_18:19!2|MId=o090180190022|Strong=6256 5 תֵּ֛ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 acl _ Gloss=gave|Ref=1SA_18:19!3|MId=o090180190031|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:090180180041;A1:090180190051;|Type=infinitive_construct 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_18:19!4|MId=o090180190041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 מֵרַ֥ב מֵרָב PROPN _ _ 5 obj _ Gloss=Merab|Ref=1SA_18:19!5|MId=o090180190051|Strong=4764 8 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=1SA_18:19!6|MId=o090180190061|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 9 שָׁא֖וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Saul|Ref=1SA_18:19!7|MId=o090180190071|Strong=7586 10-11 לְדָוִ֑ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:19!8|MId=o090180190081|Strong=3807a 11 דָוִ֑ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=1SA_18:19!8|MId=o090180190082|Strong=1732 12-13 וְהִ֧יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:19!9|MId=o090180190091|Strong=2050b 13 הִ֧יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=she|Ref=1SA_18:19!9|MId=o090180190092|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 14 נִתְּנָ֛ה נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.was.given|Ref=1SA_18:19!10|MId=o090180190101|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:090180190092;|Type=qatal 15-16 לְעַדְרִיאֵ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:19!11|MId=o090180190111|Strong=3807a 16 עַדְרִיאֵ֥ל עַדְרִיאֵל PROPN _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=Adriel|Ref=1SA_18:19!11|MId=o090180190112|Strong=5741 17-18 הַמְּחֹלָתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_18:19!12|MId=o090180190121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מְּחֹלָתִ֖י מְחֹלָתִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 appos _ Gloss=Meholathite|Ref=1SA_18:19!12|MId=o090180190122|Strong=4259|Type=gentilic 19-20 לְאִשָּֽׁה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:19!13|MId=o090180190131|Strong=3807a 20 אִשָּֽׁה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=a.wife|Ref=1SA_18:19!13|MId=o090180190132|Strong=0802 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:19!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵּת *gave* | infinitive construct · qal | | מֵרַב *Merab* | | | | נִתְּנָה *she was given* | qatal · niphal | | הִיא *she* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
