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 — young men, shepherds — and what happens in the verse to Nabal, David, 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. וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ נַעֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד וַיְדַבְּר֧וּ אֶל־נָבָ֛ל כְּכָל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה בְּשֵׁ֣ם דָּוִ֑ד וַיָּנֽוּחוּ׃ [And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.730/) ## 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:658 # text = וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ נַעֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד וַיְדַבְּר֧וּ אֶל־נָבָ֛ל כְּכָל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה בְּשֵׁ֣ם דָּוִ֑ד וַיָּנֽוּחוּ׃ # verse = 1SA.25.9 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:9!1|MId=o090250090011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=1SA_25:9!1|MId=o090250090012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:090250090021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 נַעֲרֵ֣י נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.young.men|Ref=1SA_25:9!2|MId=o090250090021|Strong=5288 4 דָוִ֔ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=1SA_25:9!3|MId=o090250090031|Strong=1732 5-6 וַיְדַבְּר֧וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:9!4|MId=o090250090041|Strong=2050b 6 יְדַבְּר֧וּ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.spoke|Ref=1SA_25:9!4|MId=o090250090042|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:090250090021;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_25:9!5|MId=o090250090051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 8 נָבָ֛ל נָבָל PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Nabal|Ref=1SA_25:9!6|MId=o090250090061|Strong=5037 9-10 כְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=1SA_25:9!7|MId=o090250090071|Strong=3509a 10 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=to.all|Ref=1SA_25:9!7|MId=o090250090072|Strong=3605 11-12 הַדְּבָרִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_25:9!8|MId=o090250090081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 דְּבָרִ֥ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=words|Ref=1SA_25:9!8|MId=o090250090082|Strong=1697 13-14 הָאֵ֖לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_25:9!9|MId=o090250090091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֵ֖לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 12 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=1SA_25:9!9|MId=o090250090092|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 15-16 בְּשֵׁ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_25:9!10|MId=o090250090101|Strong=0871a 16 שֵׁ֣ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=1SA_25:9!10|MId=o090250090102|Strong=8034 17 דָּוִ֑ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=1SA_25:9!11|MId=o090250090111|Strong=1732 18-19 וַיָּנֽוּחוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_25:9!12|MId=o090250090121|Strong=2050b 19 יָּנֽוּחוּ נוּחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.rested|Ref=1SA_25:9!12|MId=o090250090122|Strong=5117|Frame=A0:090250090021;|Type=wayyiqtol 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=1SA_25:9!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹאוּ *they went* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַעֲרֵי *the young men* | | | | | יְדַבְּרוּ *they spoke* | wayyiqtol · piel | נַעֲרֵי *the young men* | | | | | יָּנֽוּחוּ *they rested* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַעֲרֵי *the young men* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
