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 — Ahaz — and what happens in the verse to silver, house, gold, king, 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. וַיִּקַּ֨ח אָחָ֜ז אֶת־הַכֶּ֣סֶף וְאֶת־הַזָּהָ֗ב הַנִּמְצָא֙ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וּבְאֹֽצְר֖וֹת בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח לְמֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֖וּר שֹֽׁחַד׃ [And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.495/) ## 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:437 # text = וַיִּקַּ֨ח אָחָ֜ז אֶת־הַכֶּ֣סֶף וְאֶת־הַזָּהָ֗ב הַנִּמְצָא֙ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וּבְאֹֽצְר֖וֹת בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח לְמֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֖וּר שֹֽׁחַד׃ # verse = 2KI.16.8 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:8!1|MId=o120160080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֨ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=2KI_16:8!1|MId=o120160080012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:120160080021;A1:120160080042;120160080062;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אָחָ֜ז אָחָז PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Ahaz|Ref=2KI_16:8!2|MId=o120160080021|Strong=0271 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_16:8!3|MId=o120160080031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַכֶּ֣סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_16:8!4|MId=o120160080041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 כֶּ֣סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=2KI_16:8!4|MId=o120160080042|Strong=3701 7-8 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:8!5|MId=o120160080051|Strong=2050b 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_16:8!5|MId=o120160080052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9-10 הַזָּהָ֗ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_16:8!6|MId=o120160080061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 זָּהָ֗ב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=gold|Ref=2KI_16:8!6|MId=o120160080062|Strong=2091 11-12 הַנִּמְצָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=[which|Ref=2KI_16:8!7|MId=o120160080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 נִּמְצָא֙ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=was].found|Ref=2KI_16:8!7|MId=o120160080072|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:120160080042;120160080062;|Type=participle_active 13 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2KI_16:8!8|MId=o120160080081|Strong=1004 14 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_16:8!9|MId=o120160080091|Strong=3068 15-17 וּבְאֹֽצְר֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:8!10|MId=o120160080101|Strong=2050b 16 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_16:8!10|MId=o120160080102|Strong=0871a 17 אֹֽצְר֖וֹת אוֹצָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=the.treasuries|Ref=2KI_16:8!10|MId=o120160080103|Strong=0214 18 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=2KI_16:8!11|MId=o120160080111|Strong=1004 19-20 הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_16:8!12|MId=o120160080121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מֶּ֑לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_16:8!12|MId=o120160080122|Strong=4428 21-22 וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_16:8!13|MId=o120160080131|Strong=2050b 22 יִּשְׁלַ֥ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.sent.[it]|Ref=2KI_16:8!13|MId=o120160080132|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:120160080021;A1:120160080161;|Type=wayyiqtol 23-24 לְמֶֽלֶךְ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_16:8!14|MId=o120160080141|Strong=3807a 24 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_16:8!14|MId=o120160080142|Strong=4428 25 אַשּׁ֖וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=2KI_16:8!15|MId=o120160080151|Strong=0804 26 שֹֽׁחַד שֹׁחַד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=a.gift|Ref=2KI_16:8!16|MId=o120160080161|Strong=7810|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2KI_16:8!16 ``` ## 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 | אָחָז *Ahaz* | כֶּסֶף *silver* + זָּהָב *gold* | | | | נִּמְצָא *was\] found* | participle active · niphal | | כֶּסֶף *silver* + זָּהָב *gold* | | | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent \[it\]* | wayyiqtol · qal | אָחָז *Ahaz* | שֹֽׁחַד *a gift* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
