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, Thou, chariots — and what happens in the verse to chariots, those, bread, master, 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 לֹ֣א תַכֶּ֔ה הַאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁבִ֛יתָ בְּחַרְבְּךָ֥ וּֽבְקַשְׁתְּךָ֖ אַתָּ֣ה מַכֶּ֑ה שִׂים֩ לֶ֨חֶם וָמַ֜יִם לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם וְיֹֽאכְלוּ֙ וְיִשְׁתּ֔וּ וְיֵלְכ֖וּ אֶל־אֲדֹנֵיהֶֽם׃ [And he answered: 'Thou shalt not smite them; hast thou taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow those whom thou wouldest smite? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.185/) ## 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:162 # text = וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לֹ֣א תַכֶּ֔ה הַאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁבִ֛יתָ בְּחַרְבְּךָ֥ וּֽבְקַשְׁתְּךָ֖ אַתָּ֣ה מַכֶּ֑ה שִׂים֩ לֶ֨חֶם וָמַ֜יִם לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם וְיֹֽאכְלוּ֙ וְיִשְׁתּ֔וּ וְיֵלְכ֖וּ אֶל־אֲדֹנֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = 2KI.6.22 1-2 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:22!1|MId=o120060220011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2KI_6:22!1|MId=o120060220012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120060210051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2KI_6:22!2|MId=o120060220021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4 תַכֶּ֔ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you.must.strike.[them].down|Ref=2KI_6:22!3|MId=o120060220031|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:120060210021;A0:120060150081;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 הַאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הֲ PART _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=[those]|Ref=2KI_6:22!4|MId=o120060220041|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 6 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=whom?|Ref=2KI_6:22!4|MId=o120060220042|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 שָׁבִ֛יתָ שָׁבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 16 obj _ Gloss=you.have.taken.captive|Ref=2KI_6:22!5|MId=o120060220051|Strong=7617|Frame=A0:120060210021;|Type=qatal 8-10 בְּחַרְבְּךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=2KI_6:22!6|MId=o120060220061|Strong=0871a 9 חַרְבּ חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=sword|Ref=2KI_6:22!6|MId=o120060220062|Strong=2719 10 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_6:22!6|MId=o120060220063|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-14 וּֽבְקַשְׁתְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:22!7|MId=o120060220071|Strong=2050b 12 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=2KI_6:22!7|MId=o120060220072|Strong=0871a 13 קַשְׁתּ קֶשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=bow|Ref=2KI_6:22!7|MId=o120060220073|Strong=7198 14 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_6:22!7|MId=o120060220074|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=2KI_6:22!8|MId=o120060220081|Strong=0859|Type=personal 16 מַכֶּ֑ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=about.to.strike.down|Ref=2KI_6:22!9|MId=o120060220091|Strong=5221|Frame=A0:120060220051;AA:120060220081;|Type=participle_active 17 שִׂים֩ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=set|Ref=2KI_6:22!10|MId=o120060220101|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:120060210021;A1:120060220111;120060220122;|Type=imperative 18 לֶ֨חֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=food|Ref=2KI_6:22!11|MId=o120060220111|Strong=3899 19-20 וָמַ֜יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:22!12|MId=o120060220121|Strong=2050b 20 מַ֜יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=water|Ref=2KI_6:22!12|MId=o120060220122|Strong=4325 21-23 לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2KI_6:22!13|MId=o120060220131|Strong=3807a 22 פְנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2KI_6:22!13|MId=o120060220132|Strong=6440 23 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=2KI_6:22!13|MId=o120060220133|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-25 וְיֹֽאכְלוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=2KI_6:22!14|MId=o120060220141|Strong=2050b 25 יֹֽאכְלוּ֙ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.eat|Ref=2KI_6:22!14|MId=o120060220142|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:120060150081;A1:120060220111;|Type=jussive 26-27 וְיִשְׁתּ֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:22!15|MId=o120060220151|Strong=2050b 27 יִשְׁתּ֔וּ שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 25 conj _ Gloss=so.that.they.may.drink|Ref=2KI_6:22!15|MId=o120060220152|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:120060150081;A1:120060220122;|Type=jussive 28-29 וְיֵלְכ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:22!16|MId=o120060220161|Strong=2050b 29 יֵלְכ֖וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=let.them.go|Ref=2KI_6:22!16|MId=o120060220162|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:120060150081;|Type=yiqtol 30 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_6:22!17|MId=o120060220171|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 31-32 אֲדֹנֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 אֲדֹנֵי אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 obl _ Gloss=master(s)|Ref=2KI_6:22!18|MId=o120060220181|Strong=0113 32 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=2KI_6:22!18|MId=o120060220182|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=2KI_6:22!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
