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 — Israel, David, woman — and what happens in the verse to eventide, bed, roof, woman, 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 24 chapters of 2 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיְהִ֣י ׀ לְעֵ֣ת הָעֶ֗רֶב וַיָּ֨קָם דָּוִ֜ד מֵעַ֤ל מִשְׁכָּבוֹ֙ וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ עַל־גַּ֣ג בֵּית־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּ֥רְא אִשָּׁ֛ה רֹחֶ֖צֶת מֵעַ֣ל הַגָּ֑ג וְהָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה טוֹבַ֥ת מַרְאֶ֖ה מְאֹֽד׃ [And it came to pass at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.270/) ## 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:2SA:238 # text = וַיְהִ֣י ׀ לְעֵ֣ת הָעֶ֗רֶב וַיָּ֨קָם דָּוִ֜ד מֵעַ֤ל מִשְׁכָּבוֹ֙ וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ עַל־גַּ֣ג בֵּית־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּ֥רְא אִשָּׁ֛ה רֹחֶ֖צֶת מֵעַ֣ל הַגָּ֑ג וְהָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה טוֹבַ֥ת מַרְאֶ֖ה מְאֹֽד׃ # verse = 2SA.11.2 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:2!1|MId=o100110020011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2SA_11:2!1|MId=o100110020012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=2SA_11:2!1 4-5 לְעֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_11:2!2|MId=o100110020021|Strong=3807a 5 עֵ֣ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.time|Ref=2SA_11:2!2|MId=o100110020022|Strong=6256 6-7 הָעֶ֗רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_11:2!3|MId=o100110020031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עֶ֗רֶב עֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.evening|Ref=2SA_11:2!3|MId=o100110020032|Strong=6153 8-9 וַיָּ֨קָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:2!4|MId=o100110020041|Strong=2050b 9 יָּ֨קָם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.arose|Ref=2SA_11:2!4|MId=o100110020042|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:100110020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 דָּוִ֜ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_11:2!5|MId=o100110020051|Strong=1732 11-12 מֵעַ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_11:2!6|MId=o100110020061|Strong=4480 12 עַ֤ל עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_11:2!6|MId=o100110020062|Strong=5921 13-14 מִשְׁכָּבוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִשְׁכָּב מִשְׁכָּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=bed|Ref=2SA_11:2!7|MId=o100110020071|Strong=4904 14 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_11:2!7|MId=o100110020072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:2!8|MId=o100110020081|Strong=2050b 16 יִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.walked.about|Ref=2SA_11:2!8|MId=o100110020082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:100110020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_11:2!9|MId=o100110020091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 18 גַּ֣ג גָּג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.roof|Ref=2SA_11:2!10|MId=o100110020101|Strong=1406 19 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=2SA_11:2!11|MId=o100110020111|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_11:2!12|MId=o100110020121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2SA_11:2!12|MId=o100110020122|Strong=4428 22-23 וַיַּ֥רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:2!13|MId=o100110020131|Strong=2050b 23 יַּ֥רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=2SA_11:2!13|MId=o100110020132|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:100110020051;A1:100110020151;|Type=wayyiqtol 24 אִשָּׁ֛ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=a.woman|Ref=2SA_11:2!14|MId=o100110020141|Strong=0802 25 רֹחֶ֖צֶת רָחַץ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 23 ccomp _ Gloss=bathing|Ref=2SA_11:2!15|MId=o100110020151|Strong=7364|Frame=A0:100110020141;|Type=participle_active 26-27 מֵעַ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_11:2!16|MId=o100110020161|Strong=4480 27 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_11:2!16|MId=o100110020162|Strong=5921 28-29 הַגָּ֑ג _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_11:2!17|MId=o100110020171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 גָּ֑ג גָּג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=roof|Ref=2SA_11:2!17|MId=o100110020172|Strong=1406 30-32 וְהָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:2!18|MId=o100110020181|Strong=2050b 31 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_11:2!18|MId=o100110020182|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 33 nsubj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=2SA_11:2!18|MId=o100110020183|Strong=0802 33 טוֹבַ֥ת טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].good|Ref=2SA_11:2!19|MId=o100110020191|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 34 מַרְאֶ֖ה מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.appearance|Ref=2SA_11:2!20|MId=o100110020201|Strong=4758 35 מְאֹֽד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=2SA_11:2!21|MId=o100110020211|Strong=3966|SpaceAfter=No 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=2SA_11:2!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
