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 — Philistines, we — and what happens in the verse to ark, place, 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. וַיִּקְרְא֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים לַכֹּהֲנִ֤ים וְלַקֹּֽסְמִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לַאֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֑ה הוֹדִעֻ֕נוּ בַּמֶּ֖ה נְשַׁלְּחֶ֥נּוּ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃ [And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: 'What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? declare unto us wherewith we shall send it to its place.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.136/) ## 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:120 # text = וַיִּקְרְא֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים לַכֹּהֲנִ֤ים וְלַקֹּֽסְמִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לַאֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֑ה הוֹדִעֻ֕נוּ בַּמֶּ֖ה נְשַׁלְּחֶ֥נּוּ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1SA.6.2 1-2 וַיִּקְרְא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_6:2!1|MId=o090060020011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקְרְא֣וּ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.summoned|Ref=1SA_6:2!1|MId=o090060020012|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:090060020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].Philistines|Ref=1SA_6:2!2|MId=o090060020021|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 4-6 לַכֹּהֲנִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=1SA_6:2!3|MId=o090060020031|Strong=3807a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_6:2!3|MId=o090060020031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 כֹּהֲנִ֤ים כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=priests|Ref=1SA_6:2!3|MId=o090060020032|Strong=3548 7-10 וְלַקֹּֽסְמִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_6:2!4|MId=o090060020041|Strong=2050b 8 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=1SA_6:2!4|MId=o090060020042|Strong=3807a 9 ה הַ SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_6:2!4|MId=o090060020042ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 קֹּֽסְמִים֙ קָסַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=diviners|Ref=1SA_6:2!4|MId=o090060020043|Strong=7080|Type=participle_active 11-12 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 14 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=1SA_6:2!5|MId=o090060020051|Strong=3807a 12 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_6:2!5|MId=o090060020052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090060020021;|Type=infinitive_construct 13 מַֽה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 14 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=1SA_6:2!6|MId=o090060020061|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 14 נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=will.we.do|Ref=1SA_6:2!7|MId=o090060020071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:090060020021;A1:090060020061;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 לַאֲר֣וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_6:2!8|MId=o090060020081|Strong=3807a 16 אֲר֣וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_6:2!8|MId=o090060020082|Strong=0727 17 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=1SA_6:2!9|MId=o090060020091|Strong=3068 18-19 הוֹדִעֻ֕נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הוֹדִעֻ֕ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 14 parataxis _ Gloss=make|Ref=1SA_6:2!10|MId=o090060020101|Strong=3045|Frame=AA:090060020033;090060020044;A0:090060020102;|Type=imperative 19 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=known.to.us|Ref=1SA_6:2!10|MId=o090060020102|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 20-21 בַּמֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_6:2!11|MId=o090060020111|Strong=0871a 21 מֶּ֖ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 22 obl _ Gloss=how?|Ref=1SA_6:2!11|MId=o090060020112|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 22-23 נְשַׁלְּחֶ֥נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 נְשַׁלְּח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=1 14 parataxis _ Gloss=will|Ref=1SA_6:2!12|MId=o090060020121|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:090060020021;A1:090060020122;|Type=yiqtol 23 ֶ֥נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=we.send.it|Ref=1SA_6:2!12|MId=o090060020122|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 24-26 לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_6:2!13|MId=o090060020131|Strong=3807a 25 מְקוֹמ מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=its.own|Ref=1SA_6:2!13|MId=o090060020132|Strong=4725 26 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=place|Ref=1SA_6:2!13|MId=o090060020133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=1SA_6:2!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקְרְאוּ *they summoned* | wayyiqtol · qal | פְלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | פְלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | | | | | נַּעֲשֶׂה *will we do* | yiqtol · qal | פְלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | מַֽה־ *what?* | | | | הוֹדִעֻ *make* | imperative · hiphil | נוּ *known to us* | | | | | נְשַׁלְּח *will* | yiqtol · piel | פְלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | ֶנּוּ *we send it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
