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 — bows, barren, arrogancy — and what happens in the verse to bows, seven, many children, 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. שְׂבֵעִ֤ים בַּלֶּ֙חֶם֙ נִשְׂכָּ֔רוּ וּרְעֵבִ֖ים חָדֵ֑לּוּ עַד־עֲקָרָה֙ יָלְדָ֣ה שִׁבְעָ֔ה וְרַבַּ֥ת בָּנִ֖ים אֻמְלָֽלָה׃ [They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry have ceased; while the barren hath borne seven, she that had many children hath languished.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.33/) ## 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:32 # text = שְׂבֵעִ֤ים בַּלֶּ֙חֶם֙ נִשְׂכָּ֔רוּ וּרְעֵבִ֖ים חָדֵ֑לּוּ עַד־עֲקָרָה֙ יָלְדָ֣ה שִׁבְעָ֔ה וְרַבַּ֥ת בָּנִ֖ים אֻמְלָֽלָה׃ # verse = 1SA.2.5 1 שְׂבֵעִ֤ים שָׂבֵעַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=satisfied.[people]|Ref=1SA_2:5!1|MId=o090020050011|Strong=7649|Type=adjective 2-4 בַּלֶּ֙חֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1SA_2:5!2|MId=o090020050021|Strong=0871a 3 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_2:5!2|MId=o090020050021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 לֶּ֙חֶם֙ לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=food|Ref=1SA_2:5!2|MId=o090020050022|Strong=3899 5 נִשְׂכָּ֔רוּ שָׂכַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.hire.themselves.out|Ref=1SA_2:5!3|MId=o090020050031|Strong=7936|Frame=A0:090020050011;|Type=qatal 6-7 וּרְעֵבִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_2:5!4|MId=o090020050041|Strong=2050b 7 רְעֵבִ֖ים רָעֵב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=hungry.[people]|Ref=1SA_2:5!4|MId=o090020050042|Strong=7457|Type=adjective 8 חָדֵ֑לּוּ חָדַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they.cease|Ref=1SA_2:5!5|MId=o090020050051|Strong=2308|Frame=A0:090020050042;|Type=qatal 9 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_2:5!6|MId=o090020050061|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 10 עֲקָרָה֙ עָקָר ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=a.barren.[woman]|Ref=1SA_2:5!7|MId=o090020050071|Strong=6135|Type=adjective 11 יָלְדָ֣ה יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=she.bears|Ref=1SA_2:5!8|MId=o090020050081|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:090020050071;A1:090020050091;|Type=qatal 12 שִׁבְעָ֔ה שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=seven.[children]|Ref=1SA_2:5!9|MId=o090020050091|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 13-14 וְרַבַּ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_2:5!10|MId=o090020050101|Strong=2050b 14 רַבַּ֥ת רַב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=[a.woman].many|Ref=1SA_2:5!10|MId=o090020050102|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 15 בָּנִ֖ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.sons|Ref=1SA_2:5!11|MId=o090020050111|Strong=1121 16 אֻמְלָֽלָה אָמַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PULAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=she.languishes|Ref=1SA_2:5!12|MId=o090020050121|Strong=0535|Frame=A0:090020050102;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=1SA_2:5!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִשְׂכָּרוּ *they hire themselves out* | qatal · niphal | שְׂבֵעִים *satisfied \[people\]* | | | | | חָדֵלּוּ *they cease* | qatal · qal | רְעֵבִים *hungry \[people\]* | | | | | יָלְדָה *she bears* | qatal · qal | עֲקָרָה *a barren \[woman\]* | שִׁבְעָה *seven \[children\]* | | | | אֻמְלָֽלָה *she languishes* | qatal · pulal | רַבַּת *\[a woman\] many* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
