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 — Absalom, servant, king, I, servants — and what happens in the verse to sheep shearers, thee, 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. וַיָּבֹ֤א אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּה־נָ֥א גֹזְזִ֖ים לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וַעֲבָדָ֖יו עִם־עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ [And Absalom came to the king, and said: 'Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.365/) ## 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:318 # text = וַיָּבֹ֤א אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּה־נָ֥א גֹזְזִ֖ים לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ יֵֽלֶךְ־נָ֥א הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וַעֲבָדָ֖יו עִם־עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ # verse = 2SA.13.24 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:24!1|MId=o100130240011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֤א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=2SA_13:24!1|MId=o100130240012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:100130240021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַבְשָׁלוֹם֙ אַבְשָׁלֹום PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Absalom|Ref=2SA_13:24!2|MId=o100130240021|Strong=0053 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_13:24!3|MId=o100130240031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_13:24!4|MId=o100130240041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מֶּ֔לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_13:24!4|MId=o100130240042|Strong=4428 7-8 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:24!5|MId=o100130240051|Strong=2050b 8 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_13:24!5|MId=o100130240052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100130240021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 הִנֵּה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 13 parataxis _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2SA_13:24!6|MId=o100130240061|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative|SpaceAfter=No 10 נָ֥א נָא INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=2SA_13:24!7|MId=o100130240071|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 11 גֹזְזִ֖ים גָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=shearers|Ref=2SA_13:24!8|MId=o100130240081|Strong=1494|Type=participle_active 12-14 לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=2SA_13:24!9|MId=o100130240091|Strong=3807a 13 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 ccomp _ Gloss=servant|Ref=2SA_13:24!9|MId=o100130240092|Strong=5650 14 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_13:24!9|MId=o100130240093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15 יֵֽלֶךְ־ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 parataxis _ Gloss=let.him.go|Ref=2SA_13:24!10|MId=o100130240101|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:100130240122;100130240132;|Type=jussive|SpaceAfter=No 16 נָ֥א נָא INTJ _ _ 15 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=2SA_13:24!11|MId=o100130240111|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 17-18 הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_13:24!12|MId=o100130240121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מֶּ֛לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_13:24!12|MId=o100130240122|Strong=4428 19-21 וַעֲבָדָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:24!13|MId=o100130240131|Strong=2050b 20 עֲבָדָ֖י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=2SA_13:24!13|MId=o100130240132|Strong=5650 21 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_13:24!13|MId=o100130240133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2SA_13:24!14|MId=o100130240141|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 עַבְדֶּֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=servant|Ref=2SA_13:24!15|MId=o100130240151|Strong=5650 24 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_13:24!15|MId=o100130240152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=2SA_13:24!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹא *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְשָׁלוֹם *Absalom* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְשָׁלוֹם *Absalom* | | | | | יֵֽלֶךְ־ *let him go* | jussive · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* + עֲבָדָי *servants* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
