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, lords, children — and what happens in the verse to children, Mizpah, water, 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. וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּֽי־הִתְקַבְּצ֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הַמִּצְפָּ֔תָה וַיַּעֲל֥וּ סַרְנֵֽי־פְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים אֶל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּֽרְא֖וּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ [And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.162/) [And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.163/) ## 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:146 # text = וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּֽי־הִתְקַבְּצ֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הַמִּצְפָּ֔תָה וַיַּעֲל֥וּ סַרְנֵֽי־פְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים אֶל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּֽרְא֖וּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ # verse = 1SA.7.7 1-2 וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:7!1|MId=o090070070011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמְע֣וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.heard|Ref=1SA_7:7!1|MId=o090070070012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:090070070021;A1:090070070041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].Philistines|Ref=1SA_7:7!2|MId=o090070070021|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 4 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=1SA_7:7!3|MId=o090070070031|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 5 הִתְקַבְּצ֤וּ קָבַץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=they.had.gathered.together|Ref=1SA_7:7!4|MId=o090070070041|Strong=6908|Frame=A0:090070070051;|Type=qatal 6 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=1SA_7:7!5|MId=o090070070051|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 7 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_7:7!6|MId=o090070070061|Strong=3478 8-10 הַמִּצְפָּ֔תָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_7:7!7|MId=o090070070071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מִּצְפָּ֔ת מִצְפָּה PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=1SA_7:7!7|MId=o090070070072|Strong=4709 10 ָה ה X _ _ 9 nmod _ Gloss=Mizpah|Ref=1SA_7:7!7|MId=o090070070073|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 11-12 וַיַּעֲל֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:7!8|MId=o090070070081|Strong=2050b 12 יַּעֲל֥וּ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went.up|Ref=1SA_7:7!8|MId=o090070070082|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:090070070091;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 סַרְנֵֽי־ סֶרֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=the.rulers|Ref=1SA_7:7!9|MId=o090070070091|Strong=5633|SpaceAfter=No 14 פְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Philistines|Ref=1SA_7:7!10|MId=o090070070101|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 15 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=1SA_7:7!11|MId=o090070070111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=1SA_7:7!12|MId=o090070070121|Strong=3478 17-18 וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:7!13|MId=o090070070131|Strong=2050b 18 יִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.heard|Ref=1SA_7:7!13|MId=o090070070132|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:090070070141;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=1SA_7:7!14|MId=o090070070141|Strong=1121 20 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_7:7!15|MId=o090070070151|Strong=3478 21-22 וַיִּֽרְא֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:7!16|MId=o090070070161|Strong=2050b 22 יִּֽרְא֖וּ יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.afraid|Ref=1SA_7:7!16|MId=o090070070162|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:090070070141;|Type=wayyiqtol 23-24 מִפְּנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_7:7!17|MId=o090070070171|Strong=4480 24 פְּנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 22 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_7:7!17|MId=o090070070172|Strong=6440 25 פְלִשְׁתִּֽים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[the].Philistines|Ref=1SA_7:7!18|MId=o090070070181|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=1SA_7:7!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמְעוּ *they heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | פְלִשְׁתִּים *\[the\] Philistines* | הִתְקַבְּצוּ *they had gathered together* | | | | הִתְקַבְּצוּ *they had gathered together* | qatal · hithpael | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | יַּעֲלוּ *they went up* | wayyiqtol · qal | סַרְנֵֽי־ *the rulers* | | | | | יִּשְׁמְעוּ *they heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | | יִּֽרְאוּ *they were afraid* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
