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 — morrow, letter, letters — and what happens in the verse to sons, heads, baskets, Jezreel, 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 25 chapters of 2 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיְהִ֗י כְּבֹ֤א הַסֵּ֙פֶר֙ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַֽיִּשְׁחֲט֖וּ שִׁבְעִ֣ים אִ֑ישׁ וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ אֶת־רָֽאשֵׁיהֶם֙ בַּדּוּדִ֔ים וַיִּשְׁלְח֥וּ אֵלָ֖יו יִזְרְעֶֽאלָה׃ [And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.307/) ## 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:2KI:266 # text = וַיְהִ֗י כְּבֹ֤א הַסֵּ֙פֶר֙ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַֽיִּשְׁחֲט֖וּ שִׁבְעִ֣ים אִ֑ישׁ וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ אֶת־רָֽאשֵׁיהֶם֙ בַּדּוּדִ֔ים וַיִּשְׁלְח֥וּ אֵלָ֖יו יִזְרְעֶֽאלָה׃ # verse = 2KI.10.7 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_10:7!1|MId=o120100070011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2KI_10:7!1|MId=o120100070012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 כְּבֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=2KI_10:7!2|MId=o120100070021|Strong=3509a 4 בֹ֤א בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=as.came|Ref=2KI_10:7!2|MId=o120100070022|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:120100070032;|Type=infinitive_construct 5-6 הַסֵּ֙פֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_10:7!3|MId=o120100070031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 סֵּ֙פֶר֙ סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=letter|Ref=2KI_10:7!3|MId=o120100070032|Strong=5612 7-8 אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_10:7!4|MId=o120100070041|Strong=0413 8 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=2KI_10:7!4|MId=o120100070042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 וַיִּקְחוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_10:7!5|MId=o120100070051|Strong=2050b 10 יִּקְחוּ֙ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.took|Ref=2KI_10:7!5|MId=o120100070052|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:120100050042;120100050072;120100050083;120100050093;A1:120100070071;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_10:7!6|MId=o120100070061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=2KI_10:7!7|MId=o120100070071|Strong=1121 13-14 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_10:7!8|MId=o120100070081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_10:7!8|MId=o120100070082|Strong=4428 15-16 וַֽיִּשְׁחֲט֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_10:7!9|MId=o120100070091|Strong=2050b 16 יִּשְׁחֲט֖וּ שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.slaughtered|Ref=2KI_10:7!9|MId=o120100070092|Strong=7819|Frame=A0:120100050042;120100050072;120100050083;120100050093;A1:120100070111;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 שִׁבְעִ֣ים שֶׁבַע NUM _ Number=Plur 18 nummod _ Gloss=seventy|Ref=2KI_10:7!10|MId=o120100070101|Strong=7657|Type=cardinal_number 18 אִ֑ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=man|Ref=2KI_10:7!11|MId=o120100070111|Strong=0376 19-20 וַיָּשִׂ֤ימוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_10:7!12|MId=o120100070121|Strong=2050b 20 יָּשִׂ֤ימוּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.put|Ref=2KI_10:7!12|MId=o120100070122|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:120100050042;120100050072;120100050083;120100050093;A1:120100070141;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_10:7!13|MId=o120100070131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 רָֽאשֵׁיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 רָֽאשֵׁי רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 obj _ Gloss=heads|Ref=2KI_10:7!14|MId=o120100070141|Strong=7218 23 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=2KI_10:7!14|MId=o120100070142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-26 בַּדּוּדִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_10:7!15|MId=o120100070151|Strong=0871a 25 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2KI_10:7!15|MId=o120100070151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 דּוּדִ֔ים דּוּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=baskets|Ref=2KI_10:7!15|MId=o120100070152|Strong=1731 27-28 וַיִּשְׁלְח֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_10:7!16|MId=o120100070161|Strong=2050b 28 יִּשְׁלְח֥וּ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.sent.[them]|Ref=2KI_10:7!16|MId=o120100070162|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:120100050042;120100050072;120100050083;120100050093;A1:120100070141;|Type=wayyiqtol 29-30 אֵלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אֵלָ֖י אֶל ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_10:7!17|MId=o120100070171|Strong=0413 30 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2KI_10:7!17|MId=o120100070172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-32 יִזְרְעֶֽאלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 יִזְרְעֶֽאל יִזְרְעֶאל PROPN _ _ 28 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_10:7!18|MId=o120100070181|Strong=3157a 32 ָה ה X _ _ 31 nmod _ Gloss=Jezreel|Ref=2KI_10:7!18|MId=o120100070182|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=2KI_10:7!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
