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, ye — and what happens in the verse to ark, guilt offering, Israel, ye, you, hand, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ אִֽם־מְשַׁלְּחִ֞ים אֶת־אֲר֨וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אַל־תְּשַׁלְּח֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ רֵיקָ֔ם כִּֽי־הָשֵׁ֥ב תָּשִׁ֛יבוּ ל֖וֹ אָשָׁ֑ם אָ֤ז תֵּרָֽפְאוּ֙ וְנוֹדַ֣ע לָכֶ֔ם לָ֛מָּה לֹא־תָס֥וּר יָד֖וֹ מִכֶּֽם׃ [And they said: 'If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return Him a guilt-offering; then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.137/) ## 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:121 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ אִֽם־מְשַׁלְּחִ֞ים אֶת־אֲר֨וֹן אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אַל־תְּשַׁלְּח֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ רֵיקָ֔ם כִּֽי־הָשֵׁ֥ב תָּשִׁ֛יבוּ ל֖וֹ אָשָׁ֑ם אָ֤ז תֵּרָֽפְאוּ֙ וְנוֹדַ֣ע לָכֶ֔ם לָ֛מָּה לֹא־תָס֥וּר יָד֖וֹ מִכֶּֽם׃ # verse = 1SA.6.3 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_6:3!1|MId=o090060030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֗וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=1SA_6:3!1|MId=o090060030012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090060020033;090060020044;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אִֽם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=1SA_6:3!2|MId=o090060030021|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 4 מְשַׁלְּחִ֞ים שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 10 advcl _ Gloss=[you.are].about.to.send.away|Ref=1SA_6:3!3|MId=o090060030031|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:090060020021;A1:090060030051;|Type=participle_active 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_6:3!4|MId=o090060030041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 אֲר֨וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=1SA_6:3!5|MId=o090060030051|Strong=0727 7 אֱלֹהֵ֤י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.God|Ref=1SA_6:3!6|MId=o090060030061|Strong=0430 8 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_6:3!7|MId=o090060030071|Strong=3478 9 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=1SA_6:3!8|MId=o090060030081|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 10 תְּשַׁלְּח֤וּ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=send.away|Ref=1SA_6:3!9|MId=o090060030091|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:090060020021;A1:090060030102;|Type=jussive 11-12 אֹתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_6:3!10|MId=o090060030101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=1SA_6:3!10|MId=o090060030102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 רֵיקָ֔ם רֵיקָם ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=empty|Ref=1SA_6:3!11|MId=o090060030111|Strong=7387 14 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=1SA_6:3!12|MId=o090060030121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 15 הָשֵׁ֥ב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 16 obl:npmod _ Gloss=certainly.(send.back)|Ref=1SA_6:3!13|MId=o090060030131|Strong=7725|Type=infinitive_absolute 16 תָּשִׁ֛יבוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 advcl _ Gloss=you.will.send.back|Ref=1SA_6:3!14|MId=o090060030141|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:090060020021;A0:090060030161;|Type=jussive 17-18 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ל לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_6:3!15|MId=o090060030151|Strong=3807a 18 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=1SA_6:3!15|MId=o090060030152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 אָשָׁ֑ם אָשָׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=a.guilt.offering|Ref=1SA_6:3!16|MId=o090060030161|Strong=0817 20 אָ֤ז אָז ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=1SA_6:3!17|MId=o090060030171|Strong=0227 21 תֵּרָֽפְאוּ֙ רָפָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.be.healed|Ref=1SA_6:3!18|MId=o090060030181|Strong=7495|Frame=A1:090060020021;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 וְנוֹדַ֣ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_6:3!19|MId=o090060030191|Strong=2050b 23 נוֹדַ֣ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.known|Ref=1SA_6:3!19|MId=o090060030192|Strong=3045|Frame=A1:090060030231;|Type=weqatal 24-25 לָכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=1SA_6:3!20|MId=o090060030201|Strong=3807a 25 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_6:3!20|MId=o090060030202|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 26-27 לָ֛מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לָ֛ לָמָה ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_6:3!21|MId=o090060030211|Strong=3807a 27 מָּה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 29 obl _ Gloss=why?|Ref=1SA_6:3!21|MId=o090060030212|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 28 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 29 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=1SA_6:3!22|MId=o090060030221|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 29 תָס֥וּר סוּר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 23 nsubj _ Gloss=does.it.turn.aside|Ref=1SA_6:3!23|MId=o090060030231|Strong=5493|Frame=A0:090060030241;|Type=yiqtol 30-31 יָד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 29 nsubj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=1SA_6:3!24|MId=o090060030241|Strong=3027 31 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_6:3!24|MId=o090060030242|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 32-33 מִכֶּֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_6:3!25|MId=o090060030251|Strong=4480 33 כֶּֽם מִן PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_6:3!25|MId=o090060030252|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=1SA_6:3!25 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
