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 — children, Israel — and what happens in the verse to Samuel, us, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל אַל־תַּחֲרֵ֣שׁ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ מִזְּעֹ֖ק אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְיֹשִׁעֵ֖נוּ מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ [And the children of Israel said to Samuel: 'Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that He save us out of the hand of the Philistines.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.164/) ## 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:147 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל אַל־תַּחֲרֵ֣שׁ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ מִזְּעֹ֖ק אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְיֹשִׁעֵ֖נוּ מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ # verse = 1SA.7.8 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:8!1|MId=o090070080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֤וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=1SA_7:8!1|MId=o090070080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090070080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=1SA_7:8!2|MId=o090070080021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=1SA_7:8!3|MId=o090070080031|Strong=3478 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_7:8!4|MId=o090070080041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_7:8!5|MId=o090070080051|Strong=8050 7 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=1SA_7:8!6|MId=o090070080061|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 8 תַּחֲרֵ֣שׁ חָרֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=keep.silent|Ref=1SA_7:8!7|MId=o090070080071|Strong=2790a|Frame=A0:090070080051;|Type=jussive 9-10 מִמֶּ֔נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_7:8!8|MId=o090070080081|Strong=4480 10 ֶ֔נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=1SA_7:8!8|MId=o090070080082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 11-12 מִזְּעֹ֖ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_7:8!9|MId=o090070080091|Strong=4480 12 זְּעֹ֖ק זָעַק VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=crying.out|Ref=1SA_7:8!9|MId=o090070080092|Strong=2199|Frame=A0:090070080051;|Type=infinitive_construct 13 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_7:8!10|MId=o090070080101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_7:8!11|MId=o090070080111|Strong=3068 15-16 אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֱלֹהֵ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=1SA_7:8!12|MId=o090070080121|Strong=0430 16 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=1SA_7:8!12|MId=o090070080122|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17-19 וְיֹשִׁעֵ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=1SA_7:8!13|MId=o090070080131|Strong=2050b 18 יֹשִׁע יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=that|Ref=1SA_7:8!13|MId=o090070080132|Strong=3467|Frame=AA:090070080111;A0:090070080133;|Type=jussive 19 ֵ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=he.may.deliver.us|Ref=1SA_7:8!13|MId=o090070080133|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 20-21 מִיַּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=1SA_7:8!14|MId=o090070080141|Strong=4480 21 יַּ֥ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=1SA_7:8!14|MId=o090070080142|Strong=3027 22 פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Philistines|Ref=1SA_7:8!15|MId=o090070080151|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=1SA_7:8!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | **not** תַּחֲרֵשׁ *keep silent* | jussive · hiphil | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | | | | | זְּעֹק *crying out* | infinitive construct · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | | | | | יֹשִׁע *that* | jussive · hiphil | ֵנוּ *he may deliver us* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
