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, I, same — and what happens in the verse to Saul, man, authority, 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. וּשְׁמוּאֵ֖ל רָאָ֣ה אֶת־שָׁא֑וּל וַיהוָ֣ה עָנָ֔הוּ הִנֵּ֤ה הָאִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֣רְתִּי אֵלֶ֔יךָ זֶ֖ה יַעְצֹ֥ר בְּעַמִּֽי׃ [And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD spoke unto him: 'Behold the man of whom I said unto thee: This same shall have authority over My people.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/1SA.215/) ## 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:195 # text = וּשְׁמוּאֵ֖ל רָאָ֣ה אֶת־שָׁא֑וּל וַיהוָ֣ה עָנָ֔הוּ הִנֵּ֤ה הָאִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֣רְתִּי אֵלֶ֔יךָ זֶ֖ה יַעְצֹ֥ר בְּעַמִּֽי׃ # verse = 1SA.9.17 1-2 וּשְׁמוּאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_9:17!1|MId=o090090170011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל שְׁמוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Samuel|Ref=1SA_9:17!1|MId=o090090170012|Strong=8050 3 רָאָ֣ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=1SA_9:17!2|MId=o090090170021|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:090090170012;A1:090090170041;|Type=qatal 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=1SA_9:17!3|MId=o090090170031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 שָׁא֑וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 3 obj _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=1SA_9:17!4|MId=o090090170041|Strong=7586 6-7 וַיהוָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=1SA_9:17!5|MId=o090090170051|Strong=2050b 7 יהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=1SA_9:17!5|MId=o090090170052|Strong=3068 8-9 עָנָ֔הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 עָנ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=1SA_9:17!6|MId=o090090170061|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:090090170052;A1:090090170062;|Type=qatal 9 ָ֔הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=answered.him|Ref=1SA_9:17!6|MId=o090090170062|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 10 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 12 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=1SA_9:17!7|MId=o090090170071|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 11-12 הָאִישׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=1SA_9:17!8|MId=o090090170081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 ccomp _ Gloss=man|Ref=1SA_9:17!8|MId=o090090170082|Strong=0376 13 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=1SA_9:17!9|MId=o090090170091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 אָמַ֣רְתִּי אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.spoke|Ref=1SA_9:17!10|MId=o090090170101|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:090090170052;A1:090090170082;|Type=qatal 15-16 אֵלֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֵלֶ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=1SA_9:17!11|MId=o090090170111|Strong=0413 16 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=1SA_9:17!11|MId=o090090170112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17 זֶ֖ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 18 nsubj _ Gloss=this.[one]|Ref=1SA_9:17!12|MId=o090090170121|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 18 יַעְצֹ֥ר עָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.rule|Ref=1SA_9:17!13|MId=o090090170131|Strong=6113|Frame=A0:090090170121;|Type=yiqtol 19-21 בְּעַמִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=1SA_9:17!14|MId=o090090170141|Strong=0871a 20 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=1SA_9:17!14|MId=o090090170142|Strong=5971 21 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=1SA_9:17!14|MId=o090090170143|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=1SA_9:17!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רָאָה *he saw* | qatal · qal | שְׁמוּאֵל *Samuel* | שָׁאוּל *Saul* | | | | עָנ *he* | qatal · qal | יהוָה *Yahweh* | ָהוּ *answered him* | | | | אָמַרְתִּי *I spoke* | qatal · qal | יהוָה *Yahweh* | אִישׁ *man* | | | | יַעְצֹר *he will rule* | yiqtol · qal | זֶה *this \[one\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
