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, God, head — and what happens in the verse to me, 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. וַיֹּ֕אמֶר כֹּֽה־יַעֲשֶׂה־לִּ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְכֹ֣ה יוֹסִ֑ף אִֽם־יַעֲמֹ֞ד רֹ֣אשׁ אֱלִישָׁ֧ע בֶּן־שָׁפָ֛ט עָלָ֖יו הַיּֽוֹם׃ [Then he said: 'God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.195/) ## 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:171 # text = וַיֹּ֕אמֶר כֹּֽה־יַעֲשֶׂה־לִּ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְכֹ֣ה יוֹסִ֑ף אִֽם־יַעֲמֹ֞ד רֹ֣אשׁ אֱלִישָׁ֧ע בֶּן־שָׁפָ֛ט עָלָ֖יו הַיּֽוֹם׃ # verse = 2KI.6.31 1-2 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:31!1|MId=o120060310011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2KI_6:31!1|MId=o120060310012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120060300032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2KI_6:31!2|MId=o120060310021|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 4 יַעֲשֶׂה־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=may.he.do|Ref=2KI_6:31!3|MId=o120060310031|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:120060310051;|Type=jussive|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 לִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_6:31!4|MId=o120060310041|Strong=3807a 6 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=2KI_6:31!4|MId=o120060310042|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=2KI_6:31!5|MId=o120060310051|Strong=0430 8-9 וְכֹ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_6:31!6|MId=o120060310061|Strong=2050b 9 כֹ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2KI_6:31!6|MId=o120060310062|Strong=3541 10 יוֹסִ֑ף יָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=may.he.add|Ref=2KI_6:31!7|MId=o120060310071|Strong=3254|Frame=A0:120060310051;|Type=jussive 11 אִֽם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=2KI_6:31!8|MId=o120060310081|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 12 יַעֲמֹ֞ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.remain.standing|Ref=2KI_6:31!9|MId=o120060310091|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:120060310101;|Type=yiqtol 13 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=the.head|Ref=2KI_6:31!10|MId=o120060310101|Strong=7218 14 אֱלִישָׁ֧ע אֱלִישָׁע PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Elisha|Ref=2KI_6:31!11|MId=o120060310111|Strong=0477 15 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2KI_6:31!12|MId=o120060310121|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 16 שָׁפָ֛ט שָׁפָט PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Shaphat|Ref=2KI_6:31!13|MId=o120060310131|Strong=8202 17-18 עָלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עָלָ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2KI_6:31!14|MId=o120060310141|Strong=5921 18 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2KI_6:31!14|MId=o120060310142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 הַיּֽוֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2KI_6:31!15|MId=o120060310151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 יּֽוֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=2KI_6:31!15|MId=o120060310152|Strong=3117 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=2KI_6:31!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יַעֲשֶׂה־ *may he do* | jussive · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | | | | | יוֹסִף *may he add* | jussive · hiphil | אֱלֹהִים *God* | | | | | יַעֲמֹד *it will remain standing* | yiqtol · qal | רֹאשׁ *the head* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
