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 — king — and what happens in the verse to people, passover, book, 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. וַיְצַ֤ו הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָ֣ם לֵאמֹ֔ר עֲשׂ֣וּ פֶ֔סַח לַֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֑ם כַּכָּת֕וּב עַ֛ל סֵ֥פֶר הַבְּרִ֖ית הַזֶּֽה׃ [And the king commanded all the people, saying: 'Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.718/) ## 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:652 # text = וַיְצַ֤ו הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָ֣ם לֵאמֹ֔ר עֲשׂ֣וּ פֶ֔סַח לַֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֑ם כַּכָּת֕וּב עַ֛ל סֵ֥פֶר הַבְּרִ֖ית הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = 2KI.23.21 1-2 וַיְצַ֤ו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_23:21!1|MId=o120230210011|Strong=2050b 2 יְצַ֤ו צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.commanded|Ref=2KI_23:21!1|MId=o120230210012|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:120230210022;A1:120230210052;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_23:21!2|MId=o120230210021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2KI_23:21!2|MId=o120230210022|Strong=4428 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_23:21!3|MId=o120230210031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=2KI_23:21!4|MId=o120230210041|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_23:21!5|MId=o120230210051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=people|Ref=2KI_23:21!5|MId=o120230210052|Strong=5971 9-10 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 11 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2KI_23:21!6|MId=o120230210061|Strong=3807a 10 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_23:21!6|MId=o120230210062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120230210022;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 עֲשׂ֣וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=observe|Ref=2KI_23:21!7|MId=o120230210071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:120230210052;A1:120230210081;|Type=imperative 12 פֶ֔סַח פֶּסַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=a.passover|Ref=2KI_23:21!8|MId=o120230210081|Strong=6453 13-14 לַֽיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_23:21!9|MId=o120230210091|Strong=3807a 14 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2KI_23:21!9|MId=o120230210092|Strong=3068 15-16 אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֱלֹֽהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=2KI_23:21!10|MId=o120230210101|Strong=0430 16 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_23:21!10|MId=o120230210102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17-19 כַּכָּת֕וּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=2KI_23:21!11|MId=o120230210111|Strong=3509a 18 ה הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_23:21!11|MId=o120230210111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 כָּת֕וּב כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 11 advcl _ Gloss=[what.is].written|Ref=2KI_23:21!11|MId=o120230210112|Strong=3789|Type=participle_passive 20 עַ֛ל עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_23:21!12|MId=o120230210121|Strong=5921 21 סֵ֥פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=the.scroll|Ref=2KI_23:21!13|MId=o120230210131|Strong=5612 22-23 הַבְּרִ֖ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_23:21!14|MId=o120230210141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 בְּרִ֖ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.covenant|Ref=2KI_23:21!14|MId=o120230210142|Strong=1285 24-25 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2KI_23:21!15|MId=o120230210151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2KI_23:21!15|MId=o120230210152|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=2KI_23:21!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְצַו *he commanded* | wayyiqtol · piel | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | עָם *people* | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | עֲשׂוּ *observe* | imperative · qal | עָם *people* | פֶסַח *a passover* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
