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 — name, woman, man — and what happens in the verse to Nabal, doings, man, wife, 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. וְשֵׁ֤ם הָאִישׁ֙ נָבָ֔ל וְשֵׁ֥ם אִשְׁתּ֖וֹ אֲבִגָ֑יִל וְהָאִשָּׁ֤ה טֽוֹבַת־שֶׂ֙כֶל֙ וִ֣יפַת תֹּ֔אַר וְהָאִ֥ישׁ קָשֶׁ֛ה וְרַ֥ע מַעֲלָלִ֖ים וְה֥וּא כָלִבִּֽי׃ [Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful form; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.724/) ## 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:652 # text = וְשֵׁ֤ם הָאִישׁ֙ נָבָ֔ל וְשֵׁ֥ם אִשְׁתּ֖וֹ אֲבִגָ֑יִל וְהָאִשָּׁ֤ה טֽוֹבַת־שֶׂ֙כֶל֙ וִ֣יפַת תֹּ֔אַר וְהָאִ֥ישׁ קָשֶׁ֛ה וְרַ֥ע מַעֲלָלִ֖ים וְה֥וּא כָלִבִּֽי׃ # verse = 1SA.25.3 1-2 וְשֵׁ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!1|MId=o090250030011|Strong=2050b 2 שֵׁ֤ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=1SA_25:3!1|MId=o090250030012|Strong=8034 3-4 הָאִישׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_25:3!2|MId=o090250030021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=1SA_25:3!2|MId=o090250030022|Strong=0376 5 נָבָ֔ל נָבָל PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=[was].Nabal|Ref=1SA_25:3!3|MId=o090250030031|Strong=5037 6-7 וְשֵׁ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!4|MId=o090250030041|Strong=2050b 7 שֵׁ֥ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=1SA_25:3!4|MId=o090250030042|Strong=8034 8-9 אִשְׁתּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אִשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.wife|Ref=1SA_25:3!5|MId=o090250030051|Strong=0802 9 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_25:3!5|MId=o090250030052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 אֲבִגָ֑יִל אֲבִיגַיִל PROPN _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=[was].Abigail|Ref=1SA_25:3!6|MId=o090250030061|Strong=0026 11-13 וְהָאִשָּׁ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!7|MId=o090250030071|Strong=2050b 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_25:3!7|MId=o090250030072|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 אִשָּׁ֤ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=1SA_25:3!7|MId=o090250030073|Strong=0802 14 טֽוֹבַת־ טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=[was].good|Ref=1SA_25:3!8|MId=o090250030081|Strong=2896|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 15 שֶׂ֙כֶל֙ שֵׂכֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.insight|Ref=1SA_25:3!9|MId=o090250030091|Strong=7922 16-17 וִ֣יפַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וִ֣ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!10|MId=o090250030101|Strong=2050b 17 יפַת יָפֶה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=beautiful|Ref=1SA_25:3!10|MId=o090250030102|Strong=3303|Type=adjective 18 תֹּ֔אַר תֹּאַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.form|Ref=1SA_25:3!11|MId=o090250030111|Strong=8389 19-21 וְהָאִ֥ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!12|MId=o090250030121|Strong=2050b 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_25:3!12|MId=o090250030122|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=1SA_25:3!12|MId=o090250030123|Strong=0376 22 קָשֶׁ֛ה קָשֶׁה ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=[was].hard|Ref=1SA_25:3!13|MId=o090250030131|Strong=7186|Type=adjective 23-24 וְרַ֥ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!14|MId=o090250030141|Strong=2050b 24 רַ֥ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 amod _ Gloss=evil|Ref=1SA_25:3!14|MId=o090250030142|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 25 מַעֲלָלִ֖ים מַעֲלָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.deeds|Ref=1SA_25:3!15|MId=o090250030151|Strong=4611 26-27 וְה֥וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:3!16|MId=o090250030161|Strong=2050b 27 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_25:3!16|MId=o090250030162|Strong=1931|Type=personal 28 כָלִבִּֽי כָּלִבִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=[was].a.Calebite|Ref=1SA_25:3!18|MId=o090250030181|Strong=3614|Type=gentilic|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=1SA_25:3!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no MACULA marks no verb frame in this verse. ## Targum Jonathan {#onkelos} וְשׁוּם גַבְרָא נָבָל וְשׁוּם אִתְּתֵיהּ אֲבִיגָיִל וְאִתְּתָא חֲכִּימַת מַדַע וְשַׁפִּירַת רֵיווּ וְגַבְרָא קָשֵׁי וּבִישׁ עוֹבְדִין וְהוּא מִדְבֵית כָּלֵב: The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew.
