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 — people, LORD, two sons, God — and what happens in the verse to Shiloh, ark, cherubim, 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. וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח הָעָם֙ שִׁלֹ֔ה וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ מִשָּׁ֗ם אֵ֣ת אֲר֧וֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָ֛ה צְבָא֖וֹת יֹשֵׁ֣ב הַכְּרֻבִ֑ים וְשָׁ֞ם שְׁנֵ֣י בְנֵֽי־עֵלִ֗י עִם־אֲרוֹן֙ בְּרִ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים חָפְנִ֖י וּפִֽינְחָֽס׃ [So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who sitteth upon the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.100/) ## 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:88 # text = וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח הָעָם֙ שִׁלֹ֔ה וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ מִשָּׁ֗ם אֵ֣ת אֲר֧וֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָ֛ה צְבָא֖וֹת יֹשֵׁ֣ב הַכְּרֻבִ֑ים וְשָׁ֞ם שְׁנֵ֣י בְנֵֽי־עֵלִ֗י עִם־אֲרוֹן֙ בְּרִ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים חָפְנִ֖י וּפִֽינְחָֽס׃ # verse = 1SA.4.4 1-2 וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:4!1|MId=o090040040011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁלַ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.sent|Ref=1SA_4:4!1|MId=o090040040012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:090040040022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הָעָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_4:4!2|MId=o090040040021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 עָם֙ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=1SA_4:4!2|MId=o090040040022|Strong=5971 5 שִׁלֹ֔ה שִׁלֹה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Shiloh|Ref=1SA_4:4!3|MId=o090040040031|Strong=7887 6-7 וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:4!4|MId=o090040040041|Strong=2050b 7 יִּשְׂא֣וּ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.brought|Ref=1SA_4:4!4|MId=o090040040042|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:;A1:090040040071;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 מִשָּׁ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_4:4!5|MId=o090040040051|Strong=4480 9 שָּׁ֗ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=1SA_4:4!5|MId=o090040040052|Strong=8033 10 אֵ֣ת אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_4:4!6|MId=o090040040061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11 אֲר֧וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_4:4!7|MId=o090040040071|Strong=0727 12 בְּרִית־ בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.covenant|Ref=1SA_4:4!8|MId=o090040040081|Strong=1285|SpaceAfter=No 13 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=1SA_4:4!9|MId=o090040040091|Strong=3068 14 צְבָא֖וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=1SA_4:4!10|MId=o090040040101|Strong=6635 15 יֹשֵׁ֣ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=[who].sits|Ref=1SA_4:4!11|MId=o090040040111|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:090040040091;|Type=participle_active 16-17 הַכְּרֻבִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_4:4!12|MId=o090040040121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 כְּרֻבִ֑ים כְּרוּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=cherubim|Ref=1SA_4:4!12|MId=o090040040122|Strong=3742 18-19 וְשָׁ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:4!13|MId=o090040040131|Strong=2050b 19 שָׁ֞ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=there|Ref=1SA_4:4!13|MId=o090040040132|Strong=8033 20 שְׁנֵ֣י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 21 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=1SA_4:4!14|MId=o090040040141|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 21 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=1SA_4:4!15|MId=o090040040151|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 22 עֵלִ֗י עֵלִי PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Eli|Ref=1SA_4:4!16|MId=o090040040161|Strong=5941 23 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=[were].with|Ref=1SA_4:4!17|MId=o090040040171|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 24 אֲרוֹן֙ אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_4:4!18|MId=o090040040181|Strong=0727 25 בְּרִ֣ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.covenant|Ref=1SA_4:4!19|MId=o090040040191|Strong=1285 26-27 הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=1SA_4:4!20|MId=o090040040201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=1SA_4:4!20|MId=o090040040202|Strong=0430 28 חָפְנִ֖י חׇפְנִי PROPN _ _ 21 appos _ Gloss=Hophni|Ref=1SA_4:4!21|MId=o090040040211|Strong=2652 29-30 וּפִֽינְחָֽס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_4:4!22|MId=o090040040221|Strong=2050b 30 פִֽינְחָֽס פִּינְחָס PROPN _ _ 28 conj _ Gloss=Phinehas|Ref=1SA_4:4!22|MId=o090040040222|Strong=6372 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=1SA_4:4!22 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁלַח *it sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | יִּשְׂאוּ *they brought* | wayyiqtol · qal | | אֲרוֹן *the ark* | | | | יֹשֵׁב *\[who\] sits* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
