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 — LORD, my — and what happens in the verse to judge, sentence, cause, me, hand, 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. וְהָיָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לְדַיָּ֔ן וְשָׁפַ֖ט בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֑ךָ וְיֵ֙רֶא֙ וְיָרֵ֣ב אֶת־רִיבִ֔י וְיִשְׁפְּטֵ֖נִי מִיָּדֶֽךָ׃פ [The LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.712/) ## 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:642 # text = וְהָיָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ לְדַיָּ֔ן וְשָׁפַ֖ט בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֑ךָ וְיֵ֙רֶא֙ וְיָרֵ֣ב אֶת־רִיבִ֔י וְיִשְׁפְּטֵ֖נִי מִיָּדֶֽךָ׃פ # verse = 1SA.24.16 1-2 וְהָיָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_24:16!1|MId=o090240160011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 cop _ Gloss=he.will.become|Ref=1SA_24:16!1|MId=o090240160012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:090240160021;|Type=weqatal 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_24:16!2|MId=o090240160021|Strong=3068 4-5 לְדַיָּ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=1SA_24:16!3|MId=o090240160031|Strong=3807a 5 דַיָּ֔ן דַּיָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=judge|Ref=1SA_24:16!3|MId=o090240160032|Strong=1781 6-7 וְשָׁפַ֖ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_24:16!4|MId=o090240160041|Strong=2050b 7 שָׁפַ֖ט שָׁפַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.will.judge|Ref=1SA_24:16!4|MId=o090240160042|Strong=8199|Frame=A0:090240160021;|Type=weqatal 8-9 בֵּינִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בֵּינ בֵּין ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=1SA_24:16!5|MId=o090240160051|Strong=0996 9 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=1SA_24:16!5|MId=o090240160052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-12 וּבֵינֶ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_24:16!6|MId=o090240160061|Strong=2050b 11 בֵינ בֵּין ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=1SA_24:16!6|MId=o090240160062|Strong=0996 12 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_24:16!6|MId=o090240160063|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְיֵ֙רֶא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_24:16!7|MId=o090240160071|Strong=2050b 14 יֵ֙רֶא֙ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=may.he.see|Ref=1SA_24:16!7|MId=o090240160072|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:090240160021;|Type=jussive 15-16 וְיָרֵ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_24:16!8|MId=o090240160081|Strong=2050b 16 יָרֵ֣ב רִיב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=may.he.conduct|Ref=1SA_24:16!8|MId=o090240160082|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:090240160021;A1:090240160101;|Type=jussive 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_24:16!9|MId=o090240160091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 רִיבִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 רִיב רִיב NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=case|Ref=1SA_24:16!10|MId=o090240160101|Strong=7379 19 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1SA_24:16!10|MId=o090240160102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-22 וְיִשְׁפְּטֵ֖נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_24:16!11|MId=o090240160111|Strong=2050b 21 יִשְׁפְּט שָׁפַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=may|Ref=1SA_24:16!11|MId=o090240160112|Strong=8199|Frame=A0:090240160021;A1:090240160113;|Type=yiqtol 22 ֵ֖נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=he.vindicate.me|Ref=1SA_24:16!11|MId=o090240160113|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 23-25 מִיָּדֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_24:16!12|MId=o090240160121|Strong=4480 24 יָּד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=1SA_24:16!12|MId=o090240160122|Strong=3027 25 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1SA_24:16!12|MId=o090240160123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_24:16!12|SpaceAfter=No 27 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_24:16!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *he will become* | weqatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | שָׁפַט *he will judge* | weqatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יֵרֶא *may he see* | jussive · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יָרֵב *may he conduct* | jussive · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | רִיב *case* | | | | יִשְׁפְּט *may* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ֵנִי *he vindicate me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
