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 — David, leave, servant — and what happens in the verse to peace, evil, 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. אִם־כֹּ֥ה יֹאמַ֛ר ט֖וֹב שָׁל֣וֹם לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְאִם־חָרֹ֤ה יֶֽחֱרֶה֙ ל֔וֹ דַּ֕ע כִּֽי־כָלְתָ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ה מֵעִמּֽוֹ׃ [If he say thus: It is well; thy servant shall have peace; but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.582/) ## 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:524 # text = אִם־כֹּ֥ה יֹאמַ֛ר ט֖וֹב שָׁל֣וֹם לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְאִם־חָרֹ֤ה יֶֽחֱרֶה֙ ל֔וֹ דַּ֕ע כִּֽי־כָלְתָ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ה מֵעִמּֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1SA.20.7 1 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=1SA_20:7!1|MId=o090200070011|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 2 כֹּ֥ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=1SA_20:7!2|MId=o090200070021|Strong=3541 3 יֹאמַ֛ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 advcl _ Gloss=he.will.say|Ref=1SA_20:7!3|MId=o090200070031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090200060041;A1:090200070041;|Type=yiqtol 4 ט֖וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=good|Ref=1SA_20:7!4|MId=o090200070041|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 5 שָׁל֣וֹם שָׁלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=safety|Ref=1SA_20:7!5|MId=o090200070051|Strong=7965 6-8 לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=1SA_20:7!6|MId=o090200070061|Strong=3807a 7 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=servant|Ref=1SA_20:7!6|MId=o090200070062|Strong=5650 8 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1SA_20:7!6|MId=o090200070063|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_20:7!7|MId=o090200070071|Strong=2050b 10 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=1SA_20:7!7|MId=o090200070072|Strong=0518 11 חָרֹ֤ה חָרָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 obl:npmod _ Gloss=really.(burn)|Ref=1SA_20:7!8|MId=o090200070081|Strong=2734|Type=infinitive_absolute 12 יֶֽחֱרֶה֙ חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.burn|Ref=1SA_20:7!9|MId=o090200070091|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_20:7!10|MId=o090200070101|Strong=3807a 14 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_20:7!10|MId=o090200070102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 דַּ֕ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=know|Ref=1SA_20:7!11|MId=o090200070111|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:090200050041;A1:090200070131;|Type=imperative 16 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1SA_20:7!12|MId=o090200070121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 17 כָלְתָ֥ה כָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 ccomp _ Gloss=it.has.been.determined|Ref=1SA_20:7!13|MId=o090200070131|Strong=3615|Frame=A0:090200070142;|Type=qatal 18-19 הָרָעָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_20:7!14|MId=o090200070141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 רָעָ֖ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=harm|Ref=1SA_20:7!14|MId=o090200070142|Strong=7451b 20-22 מֵעִמּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_20:7!15|MId=o090200070151|Strong=4480 21 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_20:7!15|MId=o090200070152|Strong=5973 22 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_20:7!15|MId=o090200070153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=1SA_20:7!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹאמַר *he will say* | yiqtol · qal | | טוֹב *good* | | | | יֶֽחֱרֶה *it will burn* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | דַּע *know* | imperative · qal | | כָלְתָה *it has been determined* | | | | כָלְתָה *it has been determined* | qatal · qal | רָעָה *harm* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
