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 — thou, I — and what happens in the verse to house, blood, hand, 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. וְהִ֨כִּיתָ֔ה אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אַחְאָ֖ב אֲדֹנֶ֑יךָ וְנִקַּמְתִּ֞י דְּמֵ֣י ׀ עֲבָדַ֣י הַנְּבִיאִ֗ים וּדְמֵ֛י כָּל־עַבְדֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה מִיַּ֥ד אִיזָֽבֶל׃ [And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2KI.263/) ## 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:229 # text = וְהִ֨כִּיתָ֔ה אֶת־בֵּ֥ית אַחְאָ֖ב אֲדֹנֶ֑יךָ וְנִקַּמְתִּ֞י דְּמֵ֣י ׀ עֲבָדַ֣י הַנְּבִיאִ֗ים וּדְמֵ֛י כָּל־עַבְדֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה מִיַּ֥ד אִיזָֽבֶל׃ # verse = 2KI.9.7 1-2 וְהִ֨כִּיתָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_9:7!1|MId=o120090070011|Strong=2050b 2 הִ֨כִּיתָ֔ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.strike.down|Ref=2KI_9:7!1|MId=o120090070012|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:120090050121;A0:120090070031;|Type=qatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2KI_9:7!2|MId=o120090070021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2KI_9:7!3|MId=o120090070031|Strong=1004 5 אַחְאָ֖ב אַחְאָב PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ahab|Ref=2KI_9:7!4|MId=o120090070041|Strong=0256 6-7 אֲדֹנֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֲדֹנֶ֑י אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=master(s)|Ref=2KI_9:7!5|MId=o120090070051|Strong=0113 7 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2KI_9:7!5|MId=o120090070052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְנִקַּמְתִּ֞י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_9:7!6|MId=o120090070061|Strong=2050b 9 נִקַּמְתִּ֞י נָקַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.avenge|Ref=2KI_9:7!6|MId=o120090070062|Strong=5358|Frame=A0:120090060121;A1:120090070071;120090070102;|Type=weqatal 10 דְּמֵ֣י דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=the.blood(s)|Ref=2KI_9:7!7|MId=o120090070071|Strong=1818 11 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=2KI_9:7!7 12-13 עֲבָדַ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עֲבָד עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.servants|Ref=2KI_9:7!8|MId=o120090070081|Strong=5650 13 ַ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2KI_9:7!8|MId=o120090070082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-15 הַנְּבִיאִ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2KI_9:7!9|MId=o120090070091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 נְּבִיאִ֗ים נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 appos _ Gloss=prophets|Ref=2KI_9:7!9|MId=o120090070092|Strong=5030 16-17 וּדְמֵ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2KI_9:7!10|MId=o120090070101|Strong=2050b 17 דְמֵ֛י דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=the.blood(s)|Ref=2KI_9:7!10|MId=o120090070102|Strong=1818 18 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=2KI_9:7!11|MId=o120090070111|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 19 עַבְדֵ֥י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.servants|Ref=2KI_9:7!12|MId=o120090070121|Strong=5650 20 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2KI_9:7!13|MId=o120090070131|Strong=3068 21-22 מִיַּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2KI_9:7!14|MId=o120090070141|Strong=4480 22 יַּ֥ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=2KI_9:7!14|MId=o120090070142|Strong=3027 23 אִיזָֽבֶל אִיזֶבֶל PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jezebel|Ref=2KI_9:7!15|MId=o120090070151|Strong=0348|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=2KI_9:7!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִכִּיתָה *you will strike down* | qatal · hiphil | בֵּית *the house* | | | | | נִקַּמְתִּי *I will avenge* | weqatal · piel | | דְּמֵי *the blood(s)* + דְמֵי *the blood(s)* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
