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 — thing, sons, chariot, horses, Elijah — and what happens in the verse to sons, heaven, 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 הֵ֣מָּה הֹלְכִ֤ים הָלוֹךְ֙ וְדַבֵּ֔ר וְהִנֵּ֤ה רֶֽכֶב־אֵשׁ֙ וְס֣וּסֵי אֵ֔שׁ וַיַּפְרִ֖דוּ בֵּ֣ין שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּ֙עַל֙ אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ בַּֽסְעָרָ֖ה הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ [And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both assunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.33/) ## 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:28 # text = וַיְהִ֗י הֵ֣מָּה הֹלְכִ֤ים הָלוֹךְ֙ וְדַבֵּ֔ר וְהִנֵּ֤ה רֶֽכֶב־אֵשׁ֙ וְס֣וּסֵי אֵ֔שׁ וַיַּפְרִ֖דוּ בֵּ֣ין שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּ֙עַל֙ אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ בַּֽסְעָרָ֖ה הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ # verse = 2KI.2.11 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_2:11!1|MId=o120020110011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2KI_2:11!1|MId=o120020110012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 הֵ֣מָּה הֵמָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=2KI_2:11!2|MId=o120020110021|Strong=1992|Type=personal 4 הֹלְכִ֤ים הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[were].walking|Ref=2KI_2:11!3|MId=o120020110031|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:120020110021;|Type=participle_active 5 הָלוֹךְ֙ הָלַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advmod _ Gloss=walking|Ref=2KI_2:11!4|MId=o120020110041|Strong=1980|Type=infinitive_absolute 6-7 וְדַבֵּ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_2:11!5|MId=o120020110051|Strong=2050b 7 דַבֵּ֔ר דָבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 5 conj _ Gloss=speaking|Ref=2KI_2:11!5|MId=o120020110052|Strong=1696|Type=infinitive_absolute 8-9 וְהִנֵּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_2:11!6|MId=o120020110061|Strong=2050b 9 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 10 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=2KI_2:11!6|MId=o120020110062|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 10 רֶֽכֶב־ רֶכֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=a.chariot|Ref=2KI_2:11!7|MId=o120020110071|Strong=7393|SpaceAfter=No 11 אֵשׁ֙ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fire|Ref=2KI_2:11!8|MId=o120020110081|Strong=0784 12-13 וְס֣וּסֵי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_2:11!9|MId=o120020110091|Strong=2050b 13 ס֣וּסֵי סוּס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=horses|Ref=2KI_2:11!9|MId=o120020110092|Strong=5483 14 אֵ֔שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fire|Ref=2KI_2:11!10|MId=o120020110101|Strong=0784 15-16 וַיַּפְרִ֖דוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_2:11!11|MId=o120020110111|Strong=2050b 16 יַּפְרִ֖דוּ פָּרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.separated|Ref=2KI_2:11!11|MId=o120020110112|Strong=6504|Frame=A0:120020110071;120020110092;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 בֵּ֣ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=2KI_2:11!12|MId=o120020110121|Strong=0996 18-19 שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שְׁנֵי שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 19 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=2KI_2:11!13|MId=o120020110131|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 19 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=2KI_2:11!13|MId=o120020110132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וַיַּ֙עַל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_2:11!14|MId=o120020110141|Strong=2050b 21 יַּ֙עַל֙ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.up|Ref=2KI_2:11!14|MId=o120020110142|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:120020110151;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ אֵלִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 21 nsubj _ Gloss=Elijah|Ref=2KI_2:11!15|MId=o120020110151|Strong=0452 23-25 בַּֽסְעָרָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_2:11!16|MId=o120020110161|Strong=0871a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_2:11!16|MId=o120020110161ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 סְעָרָ֖ה סְעָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=whirlwind|Ref=2KI_2:11!16|MId=o120020110162|Strong=5591a 26-27 הַשָּׁמָֽיִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_2:11!17|MId=o120020110171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 שָּׁמָֽיִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=2KI_2:11!17|MId=o120020110172|Strong=8064 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2KI_2:11!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֹלְכִים *\[were\] walking* | participle active · qal | הֵמָּה *they* | | | | | יַּפְרִדוּ *they separated* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | רֶֽכֶב־ *a chariot* + סוּסֵי *horses* | | | | | יַּעַל *he went up* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֵלִיָּהוּ *Elijah* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
