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 — Chaldeans — and what happens in the verse to sons, eyes, king, fetters, Babylon, 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. וְאֶת־בְּנֵי֙ צִדְקִיָּ֔הוּ שָׁחֲט֖וּ לְעֵינָ֑יו וְאֶת־עֵינֵ֤י צִדְקִיָּ֙הוּ֙ עִוֵּ֔ר וַיַּאַסְרֵ֙הוּ֙ בַֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם וַיְבִאֵ֖הוּ בָּבֶֽל׃ס [And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.763/) ## 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:695 # text = וְאֶת־בְּנֵי֙ צִדְקִיָּ֔הוּ שָׁחֲט֖וּ לְעֵינָ֑יו וְאֶת־עֵינֵ֤י צִדְקִיָּ֙הוּ֙ עִוֵּ֔ר וַיַּאַסְרֵ֙הוּ֙ בַֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם וַיְבִאֵ֖הוּ בָּבֶֽל׃ס # verse = 2KI.25.7 1-2 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_25:7!1|MId=o120250070011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_25:7!1|MId=o120250070012|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 3 בְּנֵי֙ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 obj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=2KI_25:7!2|MId=o120250070021|Strong=1121 4 צִדְקִיָּ֔הוּ צִדְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zedekiah|Ref=2KI_25:7!3|MId=o120250070031|Strong=6667a 5 שָׁחֲט֖וּ שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.slaughtered|Ref=2KI_25:7!4|MId=o120250070041|Strong=7819|Frame=A0:120250050021;A1:120250070021;|Type=qatal 6-8 לְעֵינָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_25:7!5|MId=o120250070051|Strong=3807a 7 עֵינָ֑י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 5 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=2KI_25:7!5|MId=o120250070052|Strong=5869 8 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2KI_25:7!5|MId=o120250070053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_25:7!6|MId=o120250070061|Strong=2050b 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_25:7!6|MId=o120250070062|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11 עֵינֵ֤י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 13 obj _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=2KI_25:7!7|MId=o120250070071|Strong=5869 12 צִדְקִיָּ֙הוּ֙ צִדְקִיָּהוּ PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zedekiah|Ref=2KI_25:7!8|MId=o120250070081|Strong=6667a 13 עִוֵּ֔ר עָוַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.made.blind|Ref=2KI_25:7!9|MId=o120250070091|Strong=5786|Frame=A0:120250050021;A1:120250070071;|Type=qatal 14-16 וַיַּאַסְרֵ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_25:7!10|MId=o120250070101|Strong=2050b 15 יַּאַסְר אָסַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2KI_25:7!10|MId=o120250070102|Strong=0631|Frame=A0:120250050021;A1:120250070103;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 ֵ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=bound.him|Ref=2KI_25:7!10|MId=o120250070103|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 17-19 בַֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=with.(the)|Ref=2KI_25:7!11|MId=o120250070111|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=bronze|Ref=2KI_25:7!11|MId=o120250070111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 נְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 15 obl _ Gloss=fetters|Ref=2KI_25:7!11|MId=o120250070112|Strong=5178 20-22 וַיְבִאֵ֖הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_25:7!12|MId=o120250070121|Strong=2050b 21 יְבִא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2KI_25:7!12|MId=o120250070122|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:120250050021;A0:120250070123;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 ֵ֖הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=brought.him|Ref=2KI_25:7!12|MId=o120250070123|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 23 בָּבֶֽל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=2KI_25:7!13|MId=o120250070131|Strong=0894|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2KI_25:7!13|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2KI_25:7!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁחֲטוּ *they slaughtered* | qatal · qal | | בְּנֵי *the sons* | | | | עִוֵּר *he made blind* | qatal · piel | | עֵינֵי *the eyes* | | | | יַּאַסְר *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | | ֵהוּ *bound him* | | | | יְבִא *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵהוּ *brought him* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
