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 — four leprous men, windows, we — and what happens in the verse to one, 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. וְאַרְבָּעָ֧ה אֲנָשִׁ֛ים הָי֥וּ מְצֹרָעִ֖ים פֶּ֣תַח הַשָּׁ֑עַר וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֔הוּ מָ֗ה אֲנַ֛חְנוּ יֹשְׁבִ֥ים פֹּ֖ה עַד־מָֽתְנוּ׃ [Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said one to another: 'Why sit we here until we die?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.200/) ## 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:176 # text = וְאַרְבָּעָ֧ה אֲנָשִׁ֛ים הָי֥וּ מְצֹרָעִ֖ים פֶּ֣תַח הַשָּׁ֑עַר וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֔הוּ מָ֗ה אֲנַ֛חְנוּ יֹשְׁבִ֥ים פֹּ֖ה עַד־מָֽתְנוּ׃ # verse = 2KI.7.3 1-2 וְאַרְבָּעָ֧ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_7:3!1|MId=o120070030011|Strong=2050b 2 אַרְבָּעָ֧ה אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nummod _ Gloss=four|Ref=2KI_7:3!1|MId=o120070030012|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 3 אֲנָשִׁ֛ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=2KI_7:3!2|MId=o120070030021|Strong=0376 4 הָי֥וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 cop _ Gloss=they.were|Ref=2KI_7:3!3|MId=o120070030031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:120070030021;|Type=qatal 5 מְצֹרָעִ֖ים צָרַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[those.who].had.a.skin.disease|Ref=2KI_7:3!4|MId=o120070030041|Strong=6879|Frame=A1:120070030021;|Type=participle_passive 6 פֶּ֣תַח פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the.entrance|Ref=2KI_7:3!5|MId=o120070030051|Strong=6607 7-8 הַשָּׁ֑עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2KI_7:3!6|MId=o120070030061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 שָּׁ֑עַר שַׁעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.gate|Ref=2KI_7:3!6|MId=o120070030062|Strong=8179 9-10 וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_7:3!7|MId=o120070030071|Strong=2050b 10 יֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=2KI_7:3!7|MId=o120070030072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:120070030021;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=2KI_7:3!8|MId=o120070030081|Strong=0376 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2KI_7:3!9|MId=o120070030091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 רֵעֵ֔הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 רֵע רֵעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nmod _ Gloss=neighbor|Ref=2KI_7:3!10|MId=o120070030101|Strong=7453 14 ֵ֔הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2KI_7:3!10|MId=o120070030102|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 15 מָ֗ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 17 advmod _ Gloss=why?|Ref=2KI_7:3!11|MId=o120070030111|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 16 אֲנַ֛חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].we|Ref=2KI_7:3!12|MId=o120070030121|Strong=0587|Type=personal 17 יֹשְׁבִ֥ים יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 ccomp _ Gloss=sitting|Ref=2KI_7:3!13|MId=o120070030131|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:120070030121;|Type=participle_active 18 פֹּ֖ה פֹּה ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=here|Ref=2KI_7:3!14|MId=o120070030141|Strong=6311 19 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=2KI_7:3!15|MId=o120070030151|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 20 מָֽתְנוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 17 parataxis _ Gloss=we.have.died|Ref=2KI_7:3!16|MId=o120070030161|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:120070030021;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=2KI_7:3!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיוּ *they were* | qatal · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | מְצֹרָעִים *\[those who\] had a skin disease* | participle passive · pual | | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | יֹּֽאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | יֹשְׁבִים *sitting* | participle active · qal | אֲנַחְנוּ *\[are\] we* | | | | | מָֽתְנוּ *we have died* | qatal · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
