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 — Medes, children, LORD — and what happens in the verse to children, land, other gods, 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 כִּֽי־חָטְא֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֔ם הַמַּעֲלֶ֤ה אֹתָם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם מִתַּ֕חַת יַ֖ד פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיִּֽירְא֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃ [And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.514/) ## 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:456 # text = וַיְהִ֗י כִּֽי־חָטְא֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֔ם הַמַּעֲלֶ֤ה אֹתָם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם מִתַּ֕חַת יַ֖ד פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיִּֽירְא֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃ # verse = 2KI.17.7 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_17:7!1|MId=o120170070011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2KI_17:7!1|MId=o120170070012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2KI_17:7!2|MId=o120170070021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 4 חָטְא֤וּ חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.had.sinned|Ref=2KI_17:7!3|MId=o120170070031|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:120170070041;|Type=qatal 5 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=2KI_17:7!4|MId=o120170070041|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2KI_17:7!5|MId=o120170070051|Strong=3478 7-8 לַיהוָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_17:7!6|MId=o120170070061|Strong=3807a 8 יהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2KI_17:7!6|MId=o120170070062|Strong=3068 9-10 אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=2KI_17:7!7|MId=o120170070071|Strong=0430 10 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=2KI_17:7!7|MId=o120170070072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 הַמַּעֲלֶ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=2KI_17:7!8|MId=o120170070081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 מַּעֲלֶ֤ה עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 8 appos _ Gloss=had].brought.up|Ref=2KI_17:7!8|MId=o120170070082|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:120170070062;A0:120170070092;|Type=participle_active 13-14 אֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_17:7!9|MId=o120170070091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=2KI_17:7!9|MId=o120170070092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-16 מֵאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2KI_17:7!10|MId=o120170070101|Strong=4480 16 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=2KI_17:7!10|MId=o120170070102|Strong=0776 17 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=2KI_17:7!11|MId=o120170070111|Strong=4714 18-19 מִתַּ֕חַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2KI_17:7!12|MId=o120170070121|Strong=4480 19 תַּ֕חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=under|Ref=2KI_17:7!12|MId=o120170070122|Strong=8478 20 יַ֖ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=2KI_17:7!13|MId=o120170070131|Strong=3027 21 פַּרְעֹ֣ה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Pharaoh|Ref=2KI_17:7!14|MId=o120170070141|Strong=6547 22 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_17:7!15|MId=o120170070151|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 23 מִצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=2KI_17:7!16|MId=o120170070161|Strong=4714 24-25 וַיִּֽירְא֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_17:7!17|MId=o120170070171|Strong=2050b 25 יִּֽירְא֖וּ יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.had.feared|Ref=2KI_17:7!17|MId=o120170070172|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:120170070041;A1:120170070181;|Type=wayyiqtol 26 אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=gods|Ref=2KI_17:7!18|MId=o120170070181|Strong=0430 27 אֲחֵרִֽים אַחֵר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 amod _ Gloss=other|Ref=2KI_17:7!19|MId=o120170070191|Strong=0312|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2KI_17:7!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חָטְאוּ *they had sinned* | qatal · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | מַּעֲלֶה *had\] brought up* | participle active · hiphil | ָם *them* | | | יהוָה *Yahweh* | | יִּֽירְאוּ *they had feared* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | אֱלֹהִים *gods* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
