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 — I, thou, shepherds, we, aught — and what happens in the verse to shearers, hurt, shepherds, Carmel, 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. וְעַתָּ֣ה שָׁמַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֥י גֹזְזִ֖ים לָ֑ךְ עַתָּ֗ה הָרֹעִ֤ים אֲשֶׁר־לְךָ֙ הָי֣וּ עִמָּ֔נוּ לֹ֣א הֶכְלַמְנ֗וּם וְלֹֽא־נִפְקַ֤ד לָהֶם֙ מְא֔וּמָה כָּל־יְמֵ֖י הֱיוֹתָ֥ם בַּכַּרְמֶֽל׃ [And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.728/) ## 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:656 # text = וְעַתָּ֣ה שָׁמַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֥י גֹזְזִ֖ים לָ֑ךְ עַתָּ֗ה הָרֹעִ֤ים אֲשֶׁר־לְךָ֙ הָי֣וּ עִמָּ֔נוּ לֹ֣א הֶכְלַמְנ֗וּם וְלֹֽא־נִפְקַ֤ד לָהֶם֙ מְא֔וּמָה כָּל־יְמֵ֖י הֱיוֹתָ֥ם בַּכַּרְמֶֽל׃ # verse = 1SA.25.7 1-2 וְעַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:7!1|MId=o090250070011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֣ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=1SA_25:7!1|MId=o090250070012|Strong=6258 3 שָׁמַ֔עְתִּי שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.heard|Ref=1SA_25:7!2|MId=o090250070021|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:090250050061;A1:090250070052;|Type=qatal 4 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1SA_25:7!3|MId=o090250070031|Strong=3588 5 גֹזְזִ֖ים גָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=shearers|Ref=1SA_25:7!4|MId=o090250070041|Strong=1494|Type=participle_active 6-7 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=1SA_25:7!5|MId=o090250070051|Strong=3807a 7 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 ccomp _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_25:7!5|MId=o090250070052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=1SA_25:7!6|MId=o090250070061|Strong=6258 9-10 הָרֹעִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_25:7!7|MId=o090250070071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 רֹעִ֤ים רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 16 nsubj _ Gloss=shepherds|Ref=1SA_25:7!7|MId=o090250070072|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 11 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=1SA_25:7!8|MId=o090250070081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=1SA_25:7!9|MId=o090250070091|Strong=3807a 13 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_25:7!9|MId=o090250070092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 הָי֣וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 16 cop _ Gloss=they.have.been|Ref=1SA_25:7!10|MId=o090250070101|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:090250070072;|Type=qatal 15-16 עִמָּ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=1SA_25:7!11|MId=o090250070111|Strong=5973 16 ָ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 parataxis _ Gloss=us|Ref=1SA_25:7!11|MId=o090250070112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_25:7!12|MId=o090250070121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18-19 הֶכְלַמְנ֗וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הֶכְלַמְנ֗וּ כָּלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=we|Ref=1SA_25:7!13|MId=o090250070131|Strong=3637|Frame=AA:090250050061;090250050073;A0:090250070132;|Type=qatal 19 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=have.humiliated.them|Ref=1SA_25:7!13|MId=o090250070132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:7!14|MId=o090250070141|Strong=2050b 21 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_25:7!14|MId=o090250070142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 נִפְקַ֤ד פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.missing|Ref=1SA_25:7!15|MId=o090250070151|Strong=6485|Frame=A1:090250070171;|Type=qatal 23-24 לָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_25:7!16|MId=o090250070161|Strong=3807a 24 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=1SA_25:7!16|MId=o090250070162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25 מְא֔וּמָה מְאוּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=anything|Ref=1SA_25:7!17|MId=o090250070171|Strong=3972 26 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=1SA_25:7!18|MId=o090250070181|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 27 יְמֵ֖י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=1SA_25:7!19|MId=o090250070191|Strong=3117 28-29 הֱיוֹתָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הֱיוֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 32 cop _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_25:7!20|MId=o090250070201|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:090250070202;|Type=infinitive_construct 29 ָ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 nsubj _ Gloss=their.being|Ref=1SA_25:7!20|MId=o090250070202|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 30-32 בַּכַּרְמֶֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_25:7!21|MId=o090250070211|Strong=0871a 31 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_25:7!21|MId=o090250070211ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 כַּרְמֶֽל כַּרְמֶל PROPN _ _ 27 acl _ Gloss=Carmel|Ref=1SA_25:7!21|MId=o090250070212|Strong=3760 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=1SA_25:7!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
