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 — king, This, sons — and what happens in the verse to manner, sons, horsemen, chariots, 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. וַיֹּ֕אמֶר זֶ֗ה יִֽהְיֶה֙ מִשְׁפַּ֣ט הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִמְלֹ֖ךְ עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶ֣ם יִקָּ֗ח וְשָׂ֥ם לוֹ֙ בְּמֶרְכַּבְתּ֣וֹ וּבְפָרָשָׁ֔יו וְרָצ֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י מֶרְכַּבְתּֽוֹ׃ [And he said: 'This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.185/) ## 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:167 # text = וַיֹּ֕אמֶר זֶ֗ה יִֽהְיֶה֙ מִשְׁפַּ֣ט הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִמְלֹ֖ךְ עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶ֣ם יִקָּ֗ח וְשָׂ֥ם לוֹ֙ בְּמֶרְכַּבְתּ֣וֹ וּבְפָרָשָׁ֔יו וְרָצ֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י מֶרְכַּבְתּֽוֹ׃ # verse = 1SA.8.11 1-2 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_8:11!1|MId=o090080110011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=1SA_8:11!1|MId=o090080110012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090080100021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 זֶ֗ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 2 ccomp _ Gloss=this|Ref=1SA_8:11!2|MId=o090080110021|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 4 יִֽהְיֶה֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=1SA_8:11!3|MId=o090080110031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:090080110041;|Type=yiqtol 5 מִשְׁפַּ֣ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=the.right[s]|Ref=1SA_8:11!4|MId=o090080110041|Strong=4941 6-7 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=1SA_8:11!5|MId=o090080110051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=1SA_8:11!5|MId=o090080110052|Strong=4428 8 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=1SA_8:11!6|MId=o090080110061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 9 יִמְלֹ֖ךְ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.reign|Ref=1SA_8:11!7|MId=o090080110071|Strong=4427|Frame=A0:090080110052;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=1SA_8:11!8|MId=o090080110081|Strong=5921 11 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_8:11!8|MId=o090080110082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_8:11!9|MId=o090080110091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 בְּנֵיכֶ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּנֵי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=1SA_8:11!10|MId=o090080110101|Strong=1121 14 כֶ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=1SA_8:11!10|MId=o090080110102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 15 יִקָּ֗ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.take|Ref=1SA_8:11!11|MId=o090080110111|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:090080110052;A1:090080110101;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 וְשָׂ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_8:11!12|MId=o090080110121|Strong=2050b 17 שָׂ֥ם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.will.appoint.[them]|Ref=1SA_8:11!12|MId=o090080110122|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:090080110052;A1:090080110101;|Type=weqatal 18-19 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=1SA_8:11!13|MId=o090080110131|Strong=3807a 19 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=himself|Ref=1SA_8:11!13|MId=o090080110132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-22 בְּמֶרְכַּבְתּ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=1SA_8:11!14|MId=o090080110141|Strong=0871a 21 מֶרְכַּבְתּ מִרְכֶּבֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=chariot[s]|Ref=1SA_8:11!14|MId=o090080110142|Strong=4818 22 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_8:11!14|MId=o090080110143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-26 וּבְפָרָשָׁ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_8:11!15|MId=o090080110151|Strong=2050b 24 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=1SA_8:11!15|MId=o090080110152|Strong=0871a 25 פָרָשָׁ֔י פָּרָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=horsemen|Ref=1SA_8:11!15|MId=o090080110153|Strong=6571 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_8:11!15|MId=o090080110154|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27-28 וְרָצ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_8:11!16|MId=o090080110161|Strong=2050b 28 רָצ֖וּ רוּץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.will.run|Ref=1SA_8:11!16|MId=o090080110162|Strong=7323|Frame=A0:090080110101;|Type=weqatal 29-30 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=1SA_8:11!17|MId=o090080110171|Strong=3807a 30 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 28 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=1SA_8:11!17|MId=o090080110172|Strong=6440 31-32 מֶרְכַּבְתּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 מֶרְכַּבְתּ מִרְכֶּבֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=chariot|Ref=1SA_8:11!18|MId=o090080110181|Strong=4818 32 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=1SA_8:11!18|MId=o090080110182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=1SA_8:11!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
