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 — daughter, life, thing — and what happens in the verse to David, Saul, 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. וַתֶּאֱהַ֛ב מִיכַ֥ל בַּת־שָׁא֖וּל אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ לְשָׁא֔וּל וַיִּשַׁ֥ר הַדָּבָ֖ר בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ [And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.534/) ## 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:483 # text = וַתֶּאֱהַ֛ב מִיכַ֥ל בַּת־שָׁא֖וּל אֶת־דָּוִ֑ד וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ לְשָׁא֔וּל וַיִּשַׁ֥ר הַדָּבָ֖ר בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ # verse = 1SA.18.20 1-2 וַתֶּאֱהַ֛ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:20!1|MId=o090180200011|Strong=2050b 2 תֶּאֱהַ֛ב אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.loved|Ref=1SA_18:20!1|MId=o090180200012|Strong=0157|Frame=A0:090180200021;A1:090180200061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מִיכַ֥ל מִיכַל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Michal|Ref=1SA_18:20!2|MId=o090180200021|Strong=4324 4 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=1SA_18:20!3|MId=o090180200031|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 5 שָׁא֖וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Saul|Ref=1SA_18:20!4|MId=o090180200041|Strong=7586 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_18:20!5|MId=o090180200051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 דָּוִ֑ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=David|Ref=1SA_18:20!6|MId=o090180200061|Strong=1732 8-9 וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:20!7|MId=o090180200071|Strong=2050b 9 יַּגִּ֣דוּ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=people.told|Ref=1SA_18:20!7|MId=o090180200072|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 לְשָׁא֔וּל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_18:20!8|MId=o090180200081|Strong=3807a 11 שָׁא֔וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_18:20!8|MId=o090180200082|Strong=7586 12-13 וַיִּשַׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_18:20!9|MId=o090180200091|Strong=2050b 13 יִּשַׁ֥ר יָשַׁר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.pleasing|Ref=1SA_18:20!9|MId=o090180200092|Strong=3474|Frame=A0:090180200102;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 הַדָּבָ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_18:20!10|MId=o090180200101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 דָּבָ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=matter|Ref=1SA_18:20!10|MId=o090180200102|Strong=1697 16-18 בְּעֵינָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_18:20!11|MId=o090180200111|Strong=0871a 17 עֵינָֽי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 13 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=1SA_18:20!11|MId=o090180200112|Strong=5869 18 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_18:20!11|MId=o090180200113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=1SA_18:20!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֶּאֱהַב *she loved* | wayyiqtol · qal | מִיכַל *Michal* | דָּוִד *David* | | | | יַּגִּדוּ *people told* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | יִּשַׁר *it was pleasing* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּבָר *matter* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
