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 — David, Uriah, mess — and what happens in the verse to Uriah, feet, house, David, food, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר דָּוִד֙ לְא֣וּרִיָּ֔הרֵ֥ד לְבֵיתְךָ֖ וּרְחַ֣ץ רַגְלֶ֑יךָ וַיֵּצֵ֤א אֽוּרִיָּה֙ מִבֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַתֵּצֵ֥א אַחֲרָ֖יו מַשְׂאַ֥ת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ [And David said to Uriah: 'Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2SA:244 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר דָּוִד֙ לְא֣וּרִיָּ֔הרֵ֥ד לְבֵיתְךָ֖ וּרְחַ֣ץ רַגְלֶ֑יךָ וַיֵּצֵ֤א אֽוּרִיָּה֙ מִבֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַתֵּצֵ֥א אַחֲרָ֖יו מַשְׂאַ֥ת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ # verse = 2SA.11.8 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:8!1|MId=o100110080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_11:8!1|MId=o100110080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100110080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דָּוִד֙ דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_11:8!2|MId=o100110080021|Strong=1732 4-6 לְא֣וּרִיָּ֔הרֵ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_11:8!3|MId=o100110080031|Strong=3807a 5 א֣וּרִיָּ֔ה אוּרִיָּה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Uriah|Ref=2SA_11:8!3|MId=o100110080032|Strong=0223 6 רֵ֥ד יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=go.down|Ref=2SA_11:8!4|MId=o100110080041|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:100110080032;|Type=imperative 7-9 לְבֵיתְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_11:8!5|MId=o100110080051|Strong=3807a 8 בֵית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=2SA_11:8!5|MId=o100110080052|Strong=1004 9 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_11:8!5|MId=o100110080053|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 וּרְחַ֣ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:8!6|MId=o100110080061|Strong=2050b 11 רְחַ֣ץ רָחַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=wash|Ref=2SA_11:8!6|MId=o100110080062|Strong=7364|Frame=A0:100110080032;A1:100110080071;|Type=imperative 12-13 רַגְלֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 רַגְלֶ֑י רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 11 obj _ Gloss=feet|Ref=2SA_11:8!7|MId=o100110080071|Strong=7272 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_11:8!7|MId=o100110080072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַיֵּצֵ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:8!8|MId=o100110080081|Strong=2050b 15 יֵּצֵ֤א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.out|Ref=2SA_11:8!8|MId=o100110080082|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:100110080091;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 אֽוּרִיָּה֙ אוּרִיָּה PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Uriah|Ref=2SA_11:8!9|MId=o100110080091|Strong=0223 17-18 מִבֵּ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_11:8!10|MId=o100110080101|Strong=4480 18 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_11:8!10|MId=o100110080102|Strong=1004 19-20 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_11:8!11|MId=o100110080111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2SA_11:8!11|MId=o100110080112|Strong=4428 21-22 וַתֵּצֵ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_11:8!12|MId=o100110080121|Strong=2050b 22 תֵּצֵ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.went.out|Ref=2SA_11:8!12|MId=o100110080122|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:100110080141;|Type=wayyiqtol 23-24 אַחֲרָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אַחֲרָ֖י אַחַר ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=2SA_11:8!13|MId=o100110080131|Strong=0310 24 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_11:8!13|MId=o100110080132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 מַשְׂאַ֥ת מַשְׂאֵת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=the.present|Ref=2SA_11:8!14|MId=o100110080141|Strong=4864 26-27 הַמֶּֽלֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_11:8!15|MId=o100110080151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 מֶּֽלֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2SA_11:8!15|MId=o100110080152|Strong=4428 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2SA_11:8!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 | דָּוִד *David* | | | | | רֵד *go down* | imperative · qal | אוּרִיָּה *Uriah* | | | | | רְחַץ *wash* | imperative · qal | אוּרִיָּה *Uriah* | רַגְלֶי *feet* | | | | יֵּצֵא *he went out* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֽוּרִיָּה *Uriah* | | | | | תֵּצֵא *it went out* | wayyiqtol · qal | מַשְׂאַת *the present* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
