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 — thou, LORD — and what happens in the verse to kindness, house, enemies, face, 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. וְלֹֽא־תַכְרִ֧ת אֶֽת־חַסְדְּךָ֛ מֵעִ֥ם בֵּיתִ֖י עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם וְלֹ֗א בְּהַכְרִ֤ת יְהוָה֙ אֶת־אֹיְבֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד אִ֕ישׁ מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ [but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.590/) ## 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:532 # text = וְלֹֽא־תַכְרִ֧ת אֶֽת־חַסְדְּךָ֛ מֵעִ֥ם בֵּיתִ֖י עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם וְלֹ֗א בְּהַכְרִ֤ת יְהוָה֙ אֶת־אֹיְבֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד אִ֕ישׁ מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ # verse = 1SA.20.15 1-2 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_20:15!1|MId=o090200150011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_20:15!1|MId=o090200150012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 תַכְרִ֧ת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.must.cut.off|Ref=1SA_20:15!2|MId=o090200150021|Strong=3772|Frame=AA:090200120181;A0:090200150041;|Type=yiqtol 4 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_20:15!3|MId=o090200150031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 חַסְדְּךָ֛ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 חַסְדּ חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=1SA_20:15!4|MId=o090200150041|Strong=2617 6 ְךָ֛ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.covenant|Ref=1SA_20:15!4|MId=o090200150042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-8 מֵעִ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_20:15!5|MId=o090200150051|Strong=4480 8 עִ֥ם עִם ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_20:15!5|MId=o090200150052|Strong=5973 9-10 בֵּיתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בֵּית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=1SA_20:15!6|MId=o090200150061|Strong=1004 10 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1SA_20:15!6|MId=o090200150062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=1SA_20:15!7|MId=o090200150071|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 12 עוֹלָ֑ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=1SA_20:15!8|MId=o090200150081|Strong=5769 13-14 וְלֹ֗א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_20:15!9|MId=o090200150091|Strong=2050b 14 לֹ֗א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_20:15!9|MId=o090200150092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15-16 בְּהַכְרִ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=1SA_20:15!10|MId=o090200150101|Strong=0871a 16 הַכְרִ֤ת כָּרַת VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 14 advcl _ Gloss=cuts.off|Ref=1SA_20:15!10|MId=o090200150102|Strong=3772|Frame=AA:090200150111;A0:090200150131;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_20:15!11|MId=o090200150111|Strong=3068 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_20:15!12|MId=o090200150121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 19 אֹיְבֵ֣י אָיַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=the.enemies|Ref=1SA_20:15!13|MId=o090200150131|Strong=0341|Type=participle_active 20 דָוִ֔ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=1SA_20:15!14|MId=o090200150141|Strong=1732 21 אִ֕ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=1SA_20:15!15|MId=o090200150151|Strong=0376 22-23 מֵעַ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_20:15!16|MId=o090200150161|Strong=4480 23 עַ֖ל עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=1SA_20:15!16|MId=o090200150162|Strong=5921 24 פְּנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=the.surface|Ref=1SA_20:15!17|MId=o090200150171|Strong=6440 25-26 הָאֲדָמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_20:15!18|MId=o090200150181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 אֲדָמָֽה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ground|Ref=1SA_20:15!18|MId=o090200150182|Strong=0127 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=1SA_20:15!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תַכְרִת *you must cut off* | yiqtol · hiphil | חַסְדּ *loyalty* | | | | | הַכְרִת *cuts off* | infinitive construct · hiphil | אֹיְבֵי *the enemies* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
