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 — LORD, I, ears, whosoever — and what happens in the verse to such evil, 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. לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הִנְנִי֙ מֵבִ֣יא רָעָ֔ה עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם וִֽיהוּדָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר֙ כָּל־שֹׁ֣מְעָ֔הּ תִּצַּ֖לְנָה שְׁתֵּ֥י אָזְנָֽיו׃ [therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.663/) ## 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:597 # text = לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הִנְנִי֙ מֵבִ֣יא רָעָ֔ה עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם וִֽיהוּדָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר֙ כָּל־שֹׁ֣מְעָ֔הּ תִּצַּ֖לְנָה שְׁתֵּ֥י אָזְנָֽיו׃ # verse = 2KI.21.12 1-2 לָכֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=2KI_21:12!1|MId=o120210120011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_21:12!1|MId=o120210120012|Strong=3651 3 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2KI_21:12!2|MId=o120210120021|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 4 אָמַ֤ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=2KI_21:12!3|MId=o120210120031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120210120041;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2KI_21:12!4|MId=o120210120041|Strong=3068 6 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=2KI_21:12!5|MId=o120210120051|Strong=0430 7 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2KI_21:12!6|MId=o120210120061|Strong=3478 8-9 הִנְנִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=2KI_21:12!7|MId=o120210120071|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 9 ְנִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=2KI_21:12!7|MId=o120210120072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 מֵבִ֣יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 4 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].about.to.bring|Ref=2KI_21:12!8|MId=o120210120081|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:120210120072;A0:120210120091;|Type=participle_active 11 רָעָ֔ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=calamity|Ref=2KI_21:12!9|MId=o120210120091|Strong=7451b 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_21:12!10|MId=o120210120101|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 13 יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ͏ם PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Jerusalem|Ref=2KI_21:12!11|MId=o120210120111|Strong=3389 14-15 וִֽיהוּדָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_21:12!12|MId=o120210120121|Strong=2050b 15 יהוּדָ֑ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 13 conj _ Gloss=Judah|Ref=2KI_21:12!12|MId=o120210120122|Strong=3063 16 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2KI_21:12!13|MId=o120210120131|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 parataxis _ Gloss=every|Ref=2KI_21:12!14|MId=o120210120141|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 שֹׁ֣מְעָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שֹׁ֣מְע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[one|Ref=2KI_21:12!16|MId=o120210120161|Strong=8085|Frame=A1:120210120162;|Type=participle_active 19 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].hears.of.it|Ref=2KI_21:12!16|MId=o120210120162|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20 תִּצַּ֖לְנָה צָלַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 17 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.tingle|Ref=2KI_21:12!17|MId=o120210120171|Strong=6750|Frame=A0:120210120191;|Type=yiqtol 21 שְׁתֵּ֥י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 22 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=2KI_21:12!18|MId=o120210120181|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 22-23 אָזְנָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אָזְנָֽי אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 20 nsubj _ Gloss=ears|Ref=2KI_21:12!19|MId=o120210120191|Strong=0241 23 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2KI_21:12!19|MId=o120210120192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2KI_21:12!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | מֵבִיא *\[am\] about to bring* | participle active · hiphil | רָעָה *calamity* | | | ְנִי *I* | | שֹׁמְע *\[one* | participle active · qal | | ָהּ *who\] hears of it* | | | | תִּצַּלְנָה *they will tingle* | yiqtol · qal | אָזְנָֽי *ears* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
