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 — hands, we — and what happens in the verse to lords, ark, 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. וַיִּשְׁלְח֡וּ וַיַּאַסְפוּ֩ אֶת־כָּל־סַרְנֵ֨י פְלִשְׁתִּ֜ים אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֗ה לַֽאֲרוֹן֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ גַּ֣ת יִסֹּ֔ב אֲר֖וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּסֵּ֕בּוּ אֶת־אֲר֖וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ס [They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said: 'What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:1SA:114 # text = וַיִּשְׁלְח֡וּ וַיַּאַסְפוּ֩ אֶת־כָּל־סַרְנֵ֨י פְלִשְׁתִּ֜ים אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֗ה לַֽאֲרוֹן֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ גַּ֣ת יִסֹּ֔ב אֲר֖וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּסֵּ֕בּוּ אֶת־אֲר֖וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ס # verse = 1SA.5.8 1-2 וַיִּשְׁלְח֡וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_5:8!1|MId=o090050080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁלְח֡וּ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.sent|Ref=1SA_5:8!1|MId=o090050080012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:090050070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וַיַּאַסְפוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_5:8!2|MId=o090050080021|Strong=2050b 4 יַּאַסְפוּ֩ אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.gathered|Ref=1SA_5:8!2|MId=o090050080022|Strong=0622|Frame=A0:090050070021;A1:090050080051;|Type=wayyiqtol 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_5:8!3|MId=o090050080031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=1SA_5:8!4|MId=o090050080041|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 7 סַרְנֵ֨י סֶרֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.rulers|Ref=1SA_5:8!5|MId=o090050080051|Strong=5633 8 פְלִשְׁתִּ֜ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Philistines|Ref=1SA_5:8!6|MId=o090050080061|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 9-10 אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_5:8!7|MId=o090050080071|Strong=0413 10 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=1SA_5:8!7|MId=o090050080072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_5:8!8|MId=o090050080081|Strong=2050b 12 יֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=1SA_5:8!8|MId=o090050080082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090050070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 מַֽה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 14 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=1SA_5:8!9|MId=o090050080091|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 14 נַּעֲשֶׂ֗ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 12 ccomp _ Gloss=will.we.do|Ref=1SA_5:8!10|MId=o090050080101|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:090050070021;A1:090050080091;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 לַֽאֲרוֹן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_5:8!11|MId=o090050080111|Strong=3807a 16 אֲרוֹן֙ אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_5:8!11|MId=o090050080112|Strong=0727 17 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.God|Ref=1SA_5:8!12|MId=o090050080121|Strong=0430 18 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_5:8!13|MId=o090050080131|Strong=3478 19-20 וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_5:8!14|MId=o090050080141|Strong=2050b 20 יֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=1SA_5:8!14|MId=o090050080142|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090050080051;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 גַּ֣ת גַּת PROPN _ _ 22 obj _ Gloss=Gath|Ref=1SA_5:8!15|MId=o090050080151|Strong=1661 22 יִסֹּ֔ב סָבַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 20 ccomp _ Gloss=let.it.go.round|Ref=1SA_5:8!16|MId=o090050080161|Strong=5437|Frame=A1:090050080151;A0:090050080171;|Type=yiqtol 23 אֲר֖וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_5:8!17|MId=o090050080171|Strong=0727 24 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.God|Ref=1SA_5:8!18|MId=o090050080181|Strong=0430 25 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_5:8!19|MId=o090050080191|Strong=3478 26-27 וַיַּסֵּ֕בּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_5:8!20|MId=o090050080201|Strong=2050b 27 יַּסֵּ֕בּוּ סָבַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.brought.round|Ref=1SA_5:8!20|MId=o090050080202|Strong=5437|Frame=AA:090050070021;A0:090050080221;|Type=wayyiqtol 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_5:8!21|MId=o090050080211|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29 אֲר֖וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_5:8!22|MId=o090050080221|Strong=0727 30 אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.God|Ref=1SA_5:8!23|MId=o090050080231|Strong=0430 31 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_5:8!24|MId=o090050080241|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=1SA_5:8!24|SpaceAfter=No 33 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=1SA_5:8!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
