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 — death, gourds — and what happens in the verse to meal, pot, 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. וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ וּקְחוּ־קֶ֔מַח וַיַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ אֶל־הַסִּ֑יר וַיֹּ֗אמֶר צַ֤ק לָעָם֙ וְיֹאכֵ֔לוּ וְלֹ֥א הָיָ֛ה דָּבָ֥ר רָ֖ע בַּסִּֽיר׃ס [But he said: 'Then bring meal.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2KI:110 # text = וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ וּקְחוּ־קֶ֔מַח וַיַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ אֶל־הַסִּ֑יר וַיֹּ֗אמֶר צַ֤ק לָעָם֙ וְיֹאכֵ֔לוּ וְלֹ֥א הָיָ֛ה דָּבָ֥ר רָ֖ע בַּסִּֽיר׃ס # verse = 2KI.4.41 1-2 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:41!1|MId=o120040410011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2KI_4:41!1|MId=o120040410012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120040380012;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וּקְחוּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:41!2|MId=o120040410021|Strong=2050b 4 קְחוּ־ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=fetch|Ref=2KI_4:41!2|MId=o120040410022|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:;A1:120040410031;|Type=imperative 5 קֶ֔מַח קֶמַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=flour|Ref=2KI_4:41!3|MId=o120040410031|Strong=7058 6-7 וַיַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:41!4|MId=o120040410041|Strong=2050b 7 יַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ שָׁלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.threw.[it]|Ref=2KI_4:41!4|MId=o120040410042|Strong=7993|Frame=AA:120040380012;A0:120040410031;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=2KI_4:41!5|MId=o120040410051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַסִּ֑יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_4:41!6|MId=o120040410061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 סִּ֑יר סִיר NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=pot|Ref=2KI_4:41!6|MId=o120040410062|Strong=5518 11-12 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:41!7|MId=o120040410071|Strong=2050b 12 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2KI_4:41!7|MId=o120040410072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120040380012;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 צַ֤ק יָצַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 12 ccomp _ Gloss=pour.[it].out|Ref=2KI_4:41!8|MId=o120040410081|Strong=3332|Frame=A0:;|Type=imperative 14-16 לָעָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2KI_4:41!9|MId=o120040410091|Strong=3807a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_4:41!9|MId=o120040410091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 עָם֙ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=2KI_4:41!9|MId=o120040410092|Strong=5971 17-18 וְיֹאכֵ֔לוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=2KI_4:41!10|MId=o120040410101|Strong=2050b 18 יֹאכֵ֔לוּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 13 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.eat|Ref=2KI_4:41!10|MId=o120040410102|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:120040400022;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:41!11|MId=o120040410111|Strong=2050b 20 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2KI_4:41!11|MId=o120040410112|Strong=3808|Type=negative 21 הָיָ֛ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 26 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2KI_4:41!12|MId=o120040410121|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:120040410131;|Type=qatal 22 דָּבָ֥ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=a.thing|Ref=2KI_4:41!13|MId=o120040410131|Strong=1697 23 רָ֖ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 amod _ Gloss=bad|Ref=2KI_4:41!14|MId=o120040410141|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 24-26 בַּסִּֽיר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2KI_4:41!15|MId=o120040410151|Strong=0871a 25 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_4:41!15|MId=o120040410151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 סִּֽיר סִיר NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=pot|Ref=2KI_4:41!15|MId=o120040410152|Strong=5518 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2KI_4:41!15|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2KI_4:41!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | קְחוּ־ *fetch* | imperative · qal | | קֶמַח *flour* | | | | יַּשְׁלֵךְ *he threw \[it\]* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | קֶמַח *flour* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | צַק *pour \[it\] out* | imperative · qal | | | | | | יֹאכֵלוּ *that they may eat* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הָיָה *it was* | qatal · qal | דָּבָר *a thing* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
