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 — Samuel, LORD — and what happens in the verse to stone, name, us, 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. וַיִּקַּ֨ח שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶ֣בֶן אַחַ֗ת וַיָּ֤שֶׂם בֵּֽין־הַמִּצְפָּה֙ וּבֵ֣ין הַשֵּׁ֔ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמָ֖הּ אֶ֣בֶנ הָעָ֑זֶר אֶ֣בֶנ הָעָ֑זֶר וַיֹּאמַ֕ר עַד־הֵ֖נָּה עֲזָרָ֥נוּ יְהוָֽה׃ [Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying: 'Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.168/) ## 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:151 # text = וַיִּקַּ֨ח שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶ֣בֶן אַחַ֗ת וַיָּ֤שֶׂם בֵּֽין־הַמִּצְפָּה֙ וּבֵ֣ין הַשֵּׁ֔ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמָ֖הּ אֶ֣בֶנ הָעָ֑זֶר אֶ֣בֶנ הָעָ֑זֶר וַיֹּאמַ֕ר עַד־הֵ֖נָּה עֲזָרָ֥נוּ יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = 1SA.7.12 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:12!1|MId=o090070120011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֨ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=1SA_7:12!1|MId=o090070120012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:090070120021;A1:090070120031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_7:12!2|MId=o090070120021|Strong=8050 4 אֶ֣בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.stone|Ref=1SA_7:12!3|MId=o090070120031|Strong=0068 5 אַחַ֗ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=1SA_7:12!4|MId=o090070120041|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 6-7 וַיָּ֤שֶׂם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:12!5|MId=o090070120051|Strong=2050b 7 יָּ֤שֶׂם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.put.[it]|Ref=1SA_7:12!5|MId=o090070120052|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:090070120021;A1:090070120031;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 בֵּֽין־ בֵּין ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=1SA_7:12!6|MId=o090070120061|Strong=0996|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַמִּצְפָּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_7:12!7|MId=o090070120071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מִּצְפָּה֙ מִצְפָּה PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Mizpah|Ref=1SA_7:12!7|MId=o090070120072|Strong=4709 11-12 וּבֵ֣ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:12!8|MId=o090070120081|Strong=2050b 12 בֵ֣ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=1SA_7:12!8|MId=o090070120082|Strong=0996 13-14 הַשֵּׁ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_7:12!9|MId=o090070120091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 שֵּׁ֔ן שֵׁן PROPN _ _ 10 conj _ Gloss=Shen|Ref=1SA_7:12!9|MId=o090070120092|Strong=8129 15-16 וַיִּקְרָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:12!10|MId=o090070120101|Strong=2050b 16 יִּקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.called|Ref=1SA_7:12!10|MId=o090070120102|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:090070120021;A1:090070120121;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_7:12!11|MId=o090070120111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 שְׁמָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=1SA_7:12!12|MId=o090070120121|Strong=8034 19 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=1SA_7:12!12|MId=o090070120122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20 אֶ֣בֶנ אֶבֶן PROPN _ _ 16 dep _ Gloss=Ebenezer|Ref=1SA_7:12!13|MId=o090070120131 21 הָעָ֑זֶר הָעֵזֶר PROPN _ _ 20 flat:name _ Ref=1SA_7:12!13 22 אֶ֣בֶנ אֶבֶן PROPN _ _ 16 dep _ Gloss=Ebenezer|Ref=1SA_7:12!14|MId=o090070120141 23 הָעָ֑זֶר הָעֵזֶר PROPN _ _ 22 flat:name _ Ref=1SA_7:12!14 24-25 וַיֹּאמַ֕ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:12!15|MId=o090070120151|Strong=2050b 25 יֹּאמַ֕ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_7:12!15|MId=o090070120152|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090070120021;|Type=wayyiqtol 26 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=1SA_7:12!16|MId=o090070120161|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 27 הֵ֖נָּה הֵנָּה ADV _ _ 28 obl _ Gloss=now|Ref=1SA_7:12!17|MId=o090070120171|Strong=2008 28-29 עֲזָרָ֥נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 עֲזָר עָזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 ccomp _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_7:12!18|MId=o090070120181|Strong=5826|Frame=A1:090070120172;A0:090070120181;|Type=qatal 29 ָ֥נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=has.helped.us|Ref=1SA_7:12!18|MId=o090070120182|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 30 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 28 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_7:12!19|MId=o090070120191|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=1SA_7:12!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | אֶבֶן *a stone* | | | | יָּשֶׂם *he put \[it\]* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | אֶבֶן *a stone* | | | | יִּקְרָא *he called* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | שְׁמ *name* | | | | יֹּאמַר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | | | | | עֲזָר *he* | qatal · qal | עֲזָר *he* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
