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 — Menahem, king — and what happens in the verse to money, king, land, 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. וַיֹּצֵא֩ מְנַחֵ֨ם אֶת־הַכֶּ֜סֶף עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל עַ֚ל כָּל־גִּבּוֹרֵ֣י הַחַ֔יִל לָתֵת֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר חֲמִשִּׁ֧ים שְׁקָלִ֛ים כֶּ֖סֶף לְאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֑ד וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וְלֹא־עָ֥מַד שָׁ֖ם בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ [And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.467/) [So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.468/) ## 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:411 # text = וַיֹּצֵא֩ מְנַחֵ֨ם אֶת־הַכֶּ֜סֶף עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל עַ֚ל כָּל־גִּבּוֹרֵ֣י הַחַ֔יִל לָתֵת֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר חֲמִשִּׁ֧ים שְׁקָלִ֛ים כֶּ֖סֶף לְאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֑ד וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וְלֹא־עָ֥מַד שָׁ֖ם בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = 2KI.15.20 1-2 וַיֹּצֵא֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_15:20!1|MId=o120150200011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּצֵא֩ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.brought.out|Ref=2KI_15:20!1|MId=o120150200012|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:120150200021;A0:120150200042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מְנַחֵ֨ם מְנַחֵם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Menahem|Ref=2KI_15:20!2|MId=o120150200021|Strong=4505 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_15:20!3|MId=o120150200031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַכֶּ֜סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_15:20!4|MId=o120150200041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 כֶּ֜סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=2KI_15:20!4|MId=o120150200042|Strong=3701 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_15:20!5|MId=o120150200051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2KI_15:20!6|MId=o120150200061|Strong=3478 9 עַ֚ל עַל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_15:20!7|MId=o120150200071|Strong=5921 10 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nmod _ Gloss=all|Ref=2KI_15:20!8|MId=o120150200081|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 11 גִּבּוֹרֵ֣י גִּבּוֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.mighty.[men]|Ref=2KI_15:20!9|MId=o120150200091|Strong=1368|Type=adjective 12-13 הַחַ֔יִל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=2KI_15:20!10|MId=o120150200101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 חַ֔יִל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=wealth|Ref=2KI_15:20!10|MId=o120150200102|Strong=2428 14-15 לָתֵת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_15:20!11|MId=o120150200111|Strong=3807a 15 תֵת֙ נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=give.[it]|Ref=2KI_15:20!11|MId=o120150200112|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:120150200021;A1:120150200151;|Type=infinitive_construct 16-17 לְמֶ֣לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_15:20!12|MId=o120150200121|Strong=3807a 17 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_15:20!12|MId=o120150200122|Strong=4428 18 אַשּׁ֔וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=2KI_15:20!13|MId=o120150200131|Strong=0804 19 חֲמִשִּׁ֧ים חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 20 nummod _ Gloss=fifty|Ref=2KI_15:20!14|MId=o120150200141|Strong=2572|Type=cardinal_number 20 שְׁקָלִ֛ים שֶׁקֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=shekels|Ref=2KI_15:20!15|MId=o120150200151|Strong=8255 21 כֶּ֖סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=silver|Ref=2KI_15:20!16|MId=o120150200161|Strong=3701 22-23 לְאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_15:20!17|MId=o120150200171|Strong=3807a 23 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=2KI_15:20!17|MId=o120150200172|Strong=0376 24 אֶחָ֑ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=2KI_15:20!18|MId=o120150200181|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 25-26 וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_15:20!19|MId=o120150200191|Strong=2050b 26 יָּ֙שָׁב֙ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.returned|Ref=2KI_15:20!19|MId=o120150200192|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:120150200201;|Type=wayyiqtol 27 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_15:20!20|MId=o120150200201|Strong=4428 28 אַשּׁ֔וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=2KI_15:20!21|MId=o120150200211|Strong=0804 29-30 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_15:20!22|MId=o120150200221|Strong=2050b 30 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 31 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2KI_15:20!22|MId=o120150200222|Strong=3808|Type=negative 31 עָ֥מַד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.remained|Ref=2KI_15:20!23|MId=o120150200231|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:120150200201;|Type=qatal 32 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 31 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=2KI_15:20!24|MId=o120150200241|Strong=8033 33-35 בָּאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 35 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_15:20!25|MId=o120150200251|Strong=0871a 34 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 35 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_15:20!25|MId=o120150200251ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 35 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=2KI_15:20!25|MId=o120150200252|Strong=0776 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=2KI_15:20!25 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
