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, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to letter, king, servant, Naaman, 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. וַיָּבֵ֣א הַסֵּ֔פֶר אֶל־מֶ֥לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר וְעַתָּ֗ה כְּב֨וֹא הַסֵּ֤פֶר הַזֶּה֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ הִנֵּ֨ה שָׁלַ֤חְתִּי אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ אֶת־נַעֲמָ֣ן עַבְדִּ֔י וַאֲסַפְתּ֖וֹ מִצָּרַעְתּֽוֹ׃ [And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying: 'And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.135/) ## 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:119 # text = וַיָּבֵ֣א הַסֵּ֔פֶר אֶל־מֶ֥לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר וְעַתָּ֗ה כְּב֨וֹא הַסֵּ֤פֶר הַזֶּה֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ הִנֵּ֨ה שָׁלַ֤חְתִּי אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ אֶת־נַעֲמָ֣ן עַבְדִּ֔י וַאֲסַפְתּ֖וֹ מִצָּרַעְתּֽוֹ׃ # verse = 2KI.5.6 1-2 וַיָּבֵ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_5:6!1|MId=o120050060011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֵ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.brought|Ref=2KI_5:6!1|MId=o120050060012|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:120050020121;A0:120050060022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַסֵּ֔פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_5:6!2|MId=o120050060021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 סֵּ֔פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=letter|Ref=2KI_5:6!2|MId=o120050060022|Strong=5612 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_5:6!3|MId=o120050060031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 מֶ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2KI_5:6!4|MId=o120050060041|Strong=4428 7 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2KI_5:6!5|MId=o120050060051|Strong=3478 8-9 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2KI_5:6!6|MId=o120050060061|Strong=3807a 9 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_5:6!6|MId=o120050060062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120050060022;|Type=infinitive_construct 10-11 וְעַתָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_5:6!7|MId=o120050060071|Strong=2050b 11 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=2KI_5:6!7|MId=o120050060072|Strong=6258 12-13 כְּב֨וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=2KI_5:6!8|MId=o120050060081|Strong=3509a 13 ב֨וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 dislocated _ Gloss=as.comes|Ref=2KI_5:6!8|MId=o120050060082|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:120050060092;|Type=infinitive_construct 14-15 הַסֵּ֤פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_5:6!9|MId=o120050060091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 סֵּ֤פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=letter|Ref=2KI_5:6!9|MId=o120050060092|Strong=5612 16-17 הַזֶּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2KI_5:6!10|MId=o120050060101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 זֶּה֙ זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 15 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2KI_5:6!10|MId=o120050060102|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 18-19 אֵלֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֵלֶ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_5:6!11|MId=o120050060111|Strong=0413 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=2KI_5:6!11|MId=o120050060112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 21 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2KI_5:6!12|MId=o120050060121|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 21 שָׁלַ֤חְתִּי שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.sent|Ref=2KI_5:6!13|MId=o120050060131|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:120050050021;A1:120050060161;|Type=qatal 22-23 אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֵלֶ֙י אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_5:6!14|MId=o120050060141|Strong=0413 23 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=2KI_5:6!14|MId=o120050060142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_5:6!15|MId=o120050060151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25 נַעֲמָ֣ן נַעֲמָן PROPN _ _ 21 obj _ Gloss=Naaman|Ref=2KI_5:6!16|MId=o120050060161|Strong=5283 26-27 עַבְדִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 appos _ Gloss=servant|Ref=2KI_5:6!17|MId=o120050060171|Strong=5650 27 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2KI_5:6!17|MId=o120050060172|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 28-30 וַאֲסַפְתּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_5:6!18|MId=o120050060181|Strong=2050b 29 אֲסַפְתּ אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 21 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=2KI_5:6!18|MId=o120050060182|Strong=0622|Frame=A0:120050060041;A1:120050060183;|Type=weqatal 30 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obj _ Gloss=will.deliver.him|Ref=2KI_5:6!18|MId=o120050060183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-33 מִצָּרַעְתּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2KI_5:6!19|MId=o120050060191|Strong=4480 32 צָּרַעְתּ צָרַעַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=his.skin|Ref=2KI_5:6!19|MId=o120050060192|Strong=6883 33 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=disease|Ref=2KI_5:6!19|MId=o120050060193|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=2KI_5:6!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
