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 — you, LORD — and what happens in the verse to ear, eyes, words, Hezekiah, living God, Sennacherib, 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. הַטֵּ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אָזְנְךָ֙ וּֽשֲׁמָ֔ע פְּקַ֧ח יְהוָ֛ה עֵינֶ֖יךָ וּרְאֵ֑ה וּשְׁמַ֗ע אֵ֚ת דִּבְרֵ֣י סַנְחֵרִ֔יב אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁלָח֔וֹ לְחָרֵ֖ף אֱלֹהִ֥ים חָֽי׃ [Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open Thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to taunt the living God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.606/) ## 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:543 # text = הַטֵּ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אָזְנְךָ֙ וּֽשֲׁמָ֔ע פְּקַ֧ח יְהוָ֛ה עֵינֶ֖יךָ וּרְאֵ֑ה וּשְׁמַ֗ע אֵ֚ת דִּבְרֵ֣י סַנְחֵרִ֔יב אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁלָח֔וֹ לְחָרֵ֖ף אֱלֹהִ֥ים חָֽי׃ # verse = 2KI.19.16 1 הַטֵּ֨ה נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=incline|Ref=2KI_19:16!1|MId=o120190160011|Strong=5186|Frame=AA:120190160021;A0:120190160031;|Type=imperative 2 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_19:16!2|MId=o120190160021|Strong=3068 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=2KI_19:16!2 4-5 אָזְנְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אָזְנ אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=ear|Ref=2KI_19:16!3|MId=o120190160031|Strong=0241 5 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_19:16!3|MId=o120190160032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6-7 וּֽשֲׁמָ֔ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_19:16!4|MId=o120190160041|Strong=2050b 7 שֲׁמָ֔ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=hear|Ref=2KI_19:16!4|MId=o120190160042|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:120190160021;|Type=imperative 8 פְּקַ֧ח פָּקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=open|Ref=2KI_19:16!5|MId=o120190160051|Strong=6491|Frame=A0:120190160061;A1:120190160071;|Type=imperative 9 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_19:16!6|MId=o120190160061|Strong=3068 10-11 עֵינֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עֵינֶ֖י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 8 obj _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=2KI_19:16!7|MId=o120190160071|Strong=5869 11 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_19:16!7|MId=o120190160072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 וּרְאֵ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_19:16!8|MId=o120190160081|Strong=2050b 13 רְאֵ֑ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=see|Ref=2KI_19:16!8|MId=o120190160082|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:120190160061;|Type=imperative 14-15 וּשְׁמַ֗ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_19:16!9|MId=o120190160091|Strong=2050b 15 שְׁמַ֗ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=hear|Ref=2KI_19:16!9|MId=o120190160092|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:120190160061;A1:120190160111;|Type=imperative 16 אֵ֚ת אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_19:16!10|MId=o120190160101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17 דִּבְרֵ֣י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=2KI_19:16!11|MId=o120190160111|Strong=1697 18 סַנְחֵרִ֔יב סַנְחֵרִיב PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Sennacherib|Ref=2KI_19:16!12|MId=o120190160121|Strong=5576 19 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2KI_19:16!13|MId=o120190160131|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20-21 שְׁלָח֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 שְׁלָח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=2KI_19:16!14|MId=o120190160141|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:120190160142;|Type=qatal 21 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=has.sent.it|Ref=2KI_19:16!14|MId=o120190160142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 לְחָרֵ֖ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_19:16!15|MId=o120190160151|Strong=3807a 23 חָרֵ֖ף חָרַף VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 20 advcl _ Gloss=taunt|Ref=2KI_19:16!15|MId=o120190160152|Strong=2778|Frame=A0:120190160121;A1:120190160161;|Type=infinitive_construct 24 אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 obj _ Gloss=[the].God|Ref=2KI_19:16!16|MId=o120190160161|Strong=0430 25 חָֽי חַי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 amod _ Gloss=living|Ref=2KI_19:16!17|MId=o120190160171|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=2KI_19:16!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הַטֵּה *incline* | imperative · hiphil | אָזְנ *ear* | | | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | שֲׁמָע *hear* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | | | | פְּקַח *open* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | עֵינֶי *eyes* | | | | רְאֵה *see* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | | | | שְׁמַע *hear* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | דִּבְרֵי *the words* | | | | שְׁלָח *he* | qatal · qal | וֹ *has sent it* | | | | | חָרֵף *taunt* | infinitive construct · piel | סַנְחֵרִיב *of Sennacherib* | אֱלֹהִים *\[the\] God* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
