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 sucking lamb, lamb, Israel, 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. וַיִּקַּ֣ח שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל טְלֵ֤ה חָלָב֙ אֶחָ֔ד וַיַּעֲלֵ֧הוּ עוֹלָ֛ה כָּלִ֖יל לַֽיהוָ֑ה וַיִּזְעַ֨ק שְׁמוּאֵ֤ל אֶל־יְהוָה֙ בְּעַ֣ד יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה׃ [And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto the LORD; and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.165/) ## 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:148 # text = וַיִּקַּ֣ח שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל טְלֵ֤ה חָלָב֙ אֶחָ֔ד וַיַּעֲלֵ֧הוּ עוֹלָ֛ה כָּלִ֖יל לַֽיהוָ֑ה וַיִּזְעַ֨ק שְׁמוּאֵ֤ל אֶל־יְהוָה֙ בְּעַ֣ד יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = 1SA.7.9 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:9!1|MId=o090070090011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=1SA_7:9!1|MId=o090070090012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:090070090021;A1:090070090031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_7:9!2|MId=o090070090021|Strong=8050 4 טְלֵ֤ה טָלֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.lamb|Ref=1SA_7:9!3|MId=o090070090031|Strong=2924 5 חָלָב֙ חָלָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.milk|Ref=1SA_7:9!4|MId=o090070090041|Strong=2461 6 אֶחָ֔ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=1SA_7:9!5|MId=o090070090051|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 7-9 וַיַּעֲלֵ֧הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:9!7|MId=o090070090071|Strong=2050b 8 יַּעֲל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_7:9!7|MId=o090070090072|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:090070090021;A0:090070090073;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 ֵ֧הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=offered.it.up|Ref=1SA_7:9!7|MId=o090070090073|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 10 עוֹלָ֛ה עֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 xcomp _ Gloss=a.burnt.offering|Ref=1SA_7:9!8|MId=o090070090081|Strong=5930 11 כָּלִ֖יל כָּלִיל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=a.whole.offering|Ref=1SA_7:9!9|MId=o090070090091|Strong=3632|Type=adjective 12-13 לַֽיהוָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_7:9!10|MId=o090070090101|Strong=3807a 13 יהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_7:9!10|MId=o090070090102|Strong=3068 14-15 וַיִּזְעַ֨ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:9!11|MId=o090070090111|Strong=2050b 15 יִּזְעַ֨ק זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.cried.out|Ref=1SA_7:9!11|MId=o090070090112|Strong=2199|Frame=A0:090070090121;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 שְׁמוּאֵ֤ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_7:9!12|MId=o090070090121|Strong=8050 17 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_7:9!13|MId=o090070090131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 18 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_7:9!14|MId=o090070090141|Strong=3068 19 בְּעַ֣ד בַּעַד ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1SA_7:9!15|MId=o090070090151|Strong=1157 20 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=1SA_7:9!16|MId=o090070090161|Strong=3478 21-23 וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֖הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_7:9!17|MId=o090070090171|Strong=2050b 22 יַּעֲנ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_7:9!17|MId=o090070090172|Strong=6030|Frame=A1:090070090173;A0:090070090181;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 ֵ֖הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=answered.him|Ref=1SA_7:9!17|MId=o090070090173|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 24 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 22 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_7:9!18|MId=o090070090181|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=1SA_7:9!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | טְלֵה *a lamb* | | | | יַּעֲל *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵהוּ *offered it up* | | | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | | יִּזְעַק *he cried out* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | | | | | יַּעֲנ *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָֽה *Yahweh* | ֵהוּ *answered him* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
