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 — children, things — and what happens in the verse to things, high places, cities, 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. וַיְחַפְּא֣וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל דְּבָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־כֵ֔ן עַל־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּבְנ֨וּ לָהֶ֤ם בָּמוֹת֙ בְּכָל־עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם מִמִּגְדַּ֥ל נוֹצְרִ֖ים עַד־עִ֥יר מִבְצָֽר׃ [and the children of Israel did impute things that were not right unto the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.516/) ## 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:458 # text = וַיְחַפְּא֣וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל דְּבָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־כֵ֔ן עַל־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּבְנ֨וּ לָהֶ֤ם בָּמוֹת֙ בְּכָל־עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם מִמִּגְדַּ֥ל נוֹצְרִ֖ים עַד־עִ֥יר מִבְצָֽר׃ # verse = 2KI.17.9 1-2 וַיְחַפְּא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_17:9!1|MId=o120170090011|Strong=2050b 2 יְחַפְּא֣וּ חָפָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.did.secretly|Ref=2KI_17:9!1|MId=o120170090012|Strong=2644|Frame=A0:120170090021;A1:120170090041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=2KI_17:9!2|MId=o120170090021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2KI_17:9!3|MId=o120170090031|Strong=3478 5 דְּבָרִים֙ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=things|Ref=2KI_17:9!4|MId=o120170090041|Strong=1697 6 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2KI_17:9!5|MId=o120170090051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=[were].not|Ref=2KI_17:9!6|MId=o120170090061|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 8 כֵ֔ן כֵּן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=right|Ref=2KI_17:9!7|MId=o120170090071|Strong=3651a|Type=adjective 9 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_17:9!8|MId=o120170090081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2KI_17:9!9|MId=o120170090091|Strong=3068 11-12 אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=2KI_17:9!10|MId=o120170090101|Strong=0430 12 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=2KI_17:9!10|MId=o120170090102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13-14 וַיִּבְנ֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_17:9!11|MId=o120170090111|Strong=2050b 14 יִּבְנ֨וּ בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.built|Ref=2KI_17:9!11|MId=o120170090112|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:120170090021;A1:120170090131;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 לָהֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2KI_17:9!12|MId=o120170090121|Strong=3807a 16 ָהֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=themselves|Ref=2KI_17:9!12|MId=o120170090122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17 בָּמוֹת֙ בָּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=high.places|Ref=2KI_17:9!13|MId=o120170090131|Strong=1116 18-19 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_17:9!14|MId=o120170090141|Strong=0871a 19 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=2KI_17:9!14|MId=o120170090142|Strong=3605 20-21 עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 עָ֣רֵי עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=cities|Ref=2KI_17:9!15|MId=o120170090151|Strong=5892 21 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=2KI_17:9!15|MId=o120170090152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 מִמִּגְדַּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2KI_17:9!16|MId=o120170090161|Strong=4480 23 מִּגְדַּ֥ל מִגְדָּל NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=a.tower|Ref=2KI_17:9!16|MId=o120170090162|Strong=4026 24 נוֹצְרִ֖ים נָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.watchmen|Ref=2KI_17:9!17|MId=o120170090171|Strong=5341|Type=participle_active 25 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=unto|Ref=2KI_17:9!18|MId=o120170090181|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 26 עִ֥יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=a.city|Ref=2KI_17:9!19|MId=o120170090191|Strong=5892 27 מִבְצָֽר מִבְצָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fortification|Ref=2KI_17:9!20|MId=o120170090201|Strong=4013|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2KI_17:9!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְחַפְּאוּ *they did secretly* | wayyiqtol · piel | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | דְּבָרִים *things* | | | | יִּבְנוּ *they built* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | בָּמוֹת *high places* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
