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 — it, Absalom, name, Amnon, Tamar — and what happens in the verse to fair sister, Tamar, Absalom, 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 אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן וּלְאַבְשָׁל֧וֹם בֶּן־דָּוִ֛ד אָח֥וֹת יָפָ֖ה וּשְׁמָ֣הּ תָּמָ֑ר וַיֶּאֱהָבֶ֖הָ אַמְנ֥וֹן בֶּן־דָּוִֽד׃ [And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.338/) ## 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:295 # text = וַיְהִ֣י אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן וּלְאַבְשָׁל֧וֹם בֶּן־דָּוִ֛ד אָח֥וֹת יָפָ֖ה וּשְׁמָ֣הּ תָּמָ֑ר וַיֶּאֱהָבֶ֖הָ אַמְנ֥וֹן בֶּן־דָּוִֽד׃ # verse = 2SA.13.1 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:1!1|MId=o100130010011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2SA_13:1!1|MId=o100130010012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַֽחֲרֵי־ אַחַר ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=2SA_13:1!2|MId=o100130010021|Strong=0310|SpaceAfter=No 4 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2SA_13:1!3|MId=o100130010031|Strong=3651 5-7 וּלְאַבְשָׁל֧וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and.[belonged]|Ref=2SA_13:1!4|MId=o100130010041|Strong=2050b 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_13:1!4|MId=o100130010042|Strong=3807a 7 אַבְשָׁל֧וֹם אַבְשָׁלֹום PROPN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=Absalom|Ref=2SA_13:1!4|MId=o100130010043|Strong=0053 8 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2SA_13:1!5|MId=o100130010051|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 9 דָּוִ֛ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=2SA_13:1!6|MId=o100130010061|Strong=1732 10 אָח֥וֹת אָחוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=a.sister|Ref=2SA_13:1!7|MId=o100130010071|Strong=0269 11 יָפָ֖ה יָפֶה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=a.beautiful|Ref=2SA_13:1!8|MId=o100130010081|Strong=3303|Type=adjective 12-14 וּשְׁמָ֣הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:1!9|MId=o100130010091|Strong=2050b 13 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=2SA_13:1!9|MId=o100130010092|Strong=8034 14 ָ֣הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=2SA_13:1!9|MId=o100130010093|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 15 תָּמָ֑ר תָּמָר PROPN _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].Tamar|Ref=2SA_13:1!10|MId=o100130010101|Strong=8559 16-18 וַיֶּאֱהָבֶ֖הָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:1!11|MId=o100130010111|Strong=2050b 17 יֶּאֱהָב אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2SA_13:1!11|MId=o100130010112|Strong=0157|Frame=A1:100130010113;A0:100130010121;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 ֶ֖הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=loved.her|Ref=2SA_13:1!11|MId=o100130010113|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19 אַמְנ֥וֹן אַמְנוֹן PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Amnon|Ref=2SA_13:1!12|MId=o100130010121|Strong=0550 20 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2SA_13:1!13|MId=o100130010131|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 21 דָּוִֽד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=2SA_13:1!14|MId=o100130010141|Strong=1732|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=2SA_13:1!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֶּאֱהָב *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַמְנוֹן *Amnon* | ֶהָ *loved her* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
