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, son — and what happens in the verse to son, fire, soothsaying, enchantments, much evil, sight, 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. וְהֶעֱבִ֤יר אֶת־בְּנוֹ֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ וְעוֹנֵ֣ן וְנִחֵ֔שׁ וְעָ֥שָׂה א֖וֹב וְיִדְּעֹנִ֑ים הִרְבָּ֗ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֛ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה לְהַכְעִֽיס׃ [And he made his son to pass through the fire, and practised soothsaying, and used enchantments, and appointed them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.657/) ## 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:591 # text = וְהֶעֱבִ֤יר אֶת־בְּנוֹ֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ וְעוֹנֵ֣ן וְנִחֵ֔שׁ וְעָ֥שָׂה א֖וֹב וְיִדְּעֹנִ֑ים הִרְבָּ֗ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֛ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה לְהַכְעִֽיס׃ # verse = 2KI.21.6 1-2 וְהֶעֱבִ֤יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_21:6!1|MId=o120210060011|Strong=2050b 2 הֶעֱבִ֤יר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.made.pass|Ref=2KI_21:6!1|MId=o120210060012|Strong=5674|Frame=AA:120210010051;A0:120210060031;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_21:6!2|MId=o120210060021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 בְּנוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=son|Ref=2KI_21:6!3|MId=o120210060031|Strong=1121 5 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2KI_21:6!3|MId=o120210060032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-8 בָּאֵ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_21:6!4|MId=o120210060041|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_21:6!4|MId=o120210060041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אֵ֔שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=2KI_21:6!4|MId=o120210060042|Strong=0784 9-10 וְעוֹנֵ֣ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_21:6!5|MId=o120210060051|Strong=2050b 10 עוֹנֵ֣ן עָנַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.practiced.soothsaying|Ref=2KI_21:6!5|MId=o120210060052|Strong=6049|Frame=A0:120210010051;|Type=weqatal 11-12 וְנִחֵ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_21:6!6|MId=o120210060061|Strong=2050b 12 נִחֵ֔שׁ נָחַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.practiced.divination|Ref=2KI_21:6!6|MId=o120210060062|Strong=5172|Frame=A0:120210010051;|Type=weqatal 13-14 וְעָ֥שָׂה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_21:6!7|MId=o120210060071|Strong=2050b 14 עָ֥שָׂה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.dealt.with|Ref=2KI_21:6!7|MId=o120210060072|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:120210010051;A1:120210060081;120210060092;|Type=weqatal 15 א֖וֹב אוֹב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=necromancer|Ref=2KI_21:6!8|MId=o120210060081|Strong=0178 16-17 וְיִדְּעֹנִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_21:6!9|MId=o120210060091|Strong=2050b 17 יִדְּעֹנִ֑ים יִדְּעֹנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 conj _ Gloss=soothsayers|Ref=2KI_21:6!9|MId=o120210060092|Strong=3049 18 הִרְבָּ֗ה רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.increased|Ref=2KI_21:6!10|MId=o120210060101|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:120210010051;|Type=qatal 19-20 לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_21:6!11|MId=o120210060111|Strong=3807a 20 עֲשׂ֥וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 advcl _ Gloss=do|Ref=2KI_21:6!11|MId=o120210060112|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:120210010051;A1:120210060122;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-22 הָרַ֛ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2KI_21:6!12|MId=o120210060121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 רַ֛ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=evil|Ref=2KI_21:6!12|MId=o120210060122|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 23-24 בְּעֵינֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_21:6!13|MId=o120210060131|Strong=0871a 24 עֵינֵ֥י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 22 nmod _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=2KI_21:6!13|MId=o120210060132|Strong=5869 25 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_21:6!14|MId=o120210060141|Strong=3068 26-27 לְהַכְעִֽיס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_21:6!15|MId=o120210060151|Strong=3807a 27 הַכְעִֽיס כָּעַס VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 20 advcl _ Gloss=provoke.[him].to.anger|Ref=2KI_21:6!15|MId=o120210060152|Strong=3707|Frame=A0:120210010051;|Type=infinitive_construct 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2KI_21:6!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֶעֱבִיר *he made pass* | weqatal · hiphil | בְּנ *son* | | | | | עוֹנֵן *he practiced soothsaying* | weqatal · polel | | | | | | נִחֵשׁ *he practiced divination* | weqatal · piel | | | | | | עָשָׂה *he dealt with* | weqatal · qal | | אוֹב *necromancer* + יִדְּעֹנִים *soothsayers* | | | | הִרְבָּה *he increased* | qatal · hiphil | | | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal | | רַע *evil* | | | | הַכְעִֽיס *provoke \[him\] to anger* | infinitive construct · hiphil | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
