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 — Elisha, I, this, holy man — and what happens in the verse to holy man, 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. וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־אִישָׁ֔הּ הִנֵּה־נָ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֛י אִ֥ישׁ אֱלֹהִ֖ים קָד֣וֹשׁ ה֑וּא עֹבֵ֥ר עָלֵ֖ינוּ תָּמִֽיד׃ [And she said unto her husband: 'Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.88/) ## 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:78 # text = וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־אִישָׁ֔הּ הִנֵּה־נָ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֛י אִ֥ישׁ אֱלֹהִ֖ים קָד֣וֹשׁ ה֑וּא עֹבֵ֥ר עָלֵ֖ינוּ תָּמִֽיד׃ # verse = 2KI.4.9 1-2 וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_4:9!1|MId=o120040090011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=2KI_4:9!1|MId=o120040090012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120040080081;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_4:9!2|MId=o120040090021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 אִישָׁ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אִישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=husband|Ref=2KI_4:9!3|MId=o120040090031|Strong=0376 5 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=2KI_4:9!3|MId=o120040090032|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 6 הִנֵּה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 8 parataxis _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2KI_4:9!4|MId=o120040090041|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 7 נָ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 6 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=2KI_4:9!5|MId=o120040090051|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 8 יָדַ֔עְתִּי יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.know|Ref=2KI_4:9!6|MId=o120040090061|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:120040080081;A1:120040090081;|Type=qatal 9 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=2KI_4:9!7|MId=o120040090071|Strong=3588 10 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].a.man|Ref=2KI_4:9!8|MId=o120040090081|Strong=0376 11 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=2KI_4:9!9|MId=o120040090091|Strong=0430 12 קָד֣וֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=holy|Ref=2KI_4:9!10|MId=o120040090101|Strong=6918|Type=adjective 13 ה֑וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2KI_4:9!11|MId=o120040090111|Strong=1931|Type=personal 14 עֹבֵ֥ר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 parataxis _ Gloss=[who].passes.by|Ref=2KI_4:9!12|MId=o120040090121|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:120040080041;|Type=participle_active 15-16 עָלֵ֖ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עָלֵ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=2KI_4:9!13|MId=o120040090131|Strong=5921 16 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=2KI_4:9!13|MId=o120040090132|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17 תָּמִֽיד תָּמִיד ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 advmod _ Gloss=continually|Ref=2KI_4:9!14|MId=o120040090141|Strong=8548|SpaceAfter=No 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=2KI_4:9!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יָדַעְתִּי *I know* | qatal · qal | | אִישׁ *\[is\] a man* | | | | עֹבֵר *\[who\] passes by* | participle active · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
