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, houses, women — and what happens in the verse to houses, house, coverings, 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. וַיִּתֹּץ֙ אֶת־בָּתֵּ֣י הַקְּדֵשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר הַנָּשִׁ֗ים אֹרְג֥וֹת שָׁ֛ם בָּתִּ֖ים לָאֲשֵׁרָֽה׃ [And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.704/) ## 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:638 # text = וַיִּתֹּץ֙ אֶת־בָּתֵּ֣י הַקְּדֵשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר הַנָּשִׁ֗ים אֹרְג֥וֹת שָׁ֛ם בָּתִּ֖ים לָאֲשֵׁרָֽה׃ # verse = 2KI.23.7 1-2 וַיִּתֹּץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_23:7!1|MId=o120230070011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתֹּץ֙ נָתַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.broke.down|Ref=2KI_23:7!1|MId=o120230070012|Strong=5422|Frame=A0:120230040022;A1:120230070031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_23:7!2|MId=o120230070021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 בָּתֵּ֣י בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.houses|Ref=2KI_23:7!3|MId=o120230070031|Strong=1004 5-6 הַקְּדֵשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_23:7!4|MId=o120230070041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 קְּדֵשִׁ֔ים קָדֵשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.male.cult.prostitutes|Ref=2KI_23:7!4|MId=o120230070042|Strong=6945|Type=adjective 7 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2KI_23:7!5|MId=o120230070051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 8-9 בְּבֵ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[were].in|Ref=2KI_23:7!6|MId=o120230070061|Strong=0871a 9 בֵ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2KI_23:7!6|MId=o120230070062|Strong=1004 10 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_23:7!7|MId=o120230070071|Strong=3068 11 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=2KI_23:7!8|MId=o120230070081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12-13 הַנָּשִׁ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_23:7!9|MId=o120230070091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 נָּשִׁ֗ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=women|Ref=2KI_23:7!9|MId=o120230070092|Strong=0802 14 אֹרְג֥וֹת אָרַג VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[were].weaving|Ref=2KI_23:7!10|MId=o120230070101|Strong=0707|Frame=A0:120230070092;A1:120230070121;|Type=participle_active 15 שָׁ֛ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=2KI_23:7!11|MId=o120230070111|Strong=8033 16 בָּתִּ֖ים בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=houses|Ref=2KI_23:7!12|MId=o120230070121|Strong=1004 17-19 לָאֲשֵׁרָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2KI_23:7!13|MId=o120230070131|Strong=3807a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2KI_23:7!13|MId=o120230070131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אֲשֵׁרָֽה אֲשֵׁרָה PROPN _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=Asherah|Ref=2KI_23:7!13|MId=o120230070132|Strong=0842 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=2KI_23:7!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתֹּץ *he broke down* | wayyiqtol · qal | | בָּתֵּי *the houses* | | | | אֹרְגוֹת *\[were\] weaving* | participle active · qal | נָּשִׁים *women* | בָּתִּים *houses* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
