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 — Tamar, Amnon — and what happens in the verse to house, dough, cakes, sight, 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. וַתֵּ֣לֶךְ תָּמָ֗ר בֵּ֛ית אַמְנ֥וֹן אָחִ֖יהָ וְה֣וּא שֹׁכֵ֑ב וַתִּקַּ֨ח אֶת־הַבָּצֵ֤ק וַתָּ֙לָשׁ֙ וַתְּלַבֵּ֣ב לְעֵינָ֔יו וַתְּבַשֵּׁ֖ל אֶת־הַלְּבִבֽוֹת׃ [So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.345/) [And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.346/) ## 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:302 # text = וַתֵּ֣לֶךְ תָּמָ֗ר בֵּ֛ית אַמְנ֥וֹן אָחִ֖יהָ וְה֣וּא שֹׁכֵ֑ב וַתִּקַּ֨ח אֶת־הַבָּצֵ֤ק וַתָּ֙לָשׁ֙ וַתְּלַבֵּ֣ב לְעֵינָ֔יו וַתְּבַשֵּׁ֖ל אֶת־הַלְּבִבֽוֹת׃ # verse = 2SA.13.8 1-2 וַתֵּ֣לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:8!1|MId=o100130080011|Strong=2050b 2 תֵּ֣לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.went|Ref=2SA_13:8!1|MId=o100130080012|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:100130080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 תָּמָ֗ר תָּמָר PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Tamar|Ref=2SA_13:8!2|MId=o100130080021|Strong=8559 4 בֵּ֛ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_13:8!3|MId=o100130080031|Strong=1004 5 אַמְנ֥וֹן אַמְנוֹן PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Amnon|Ref=2SA_13:8!4|MId=o100130080041|Strong=0550 6-7 אָחִ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אָחִ֖י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=2SA_13:8!5|MId=o100130080051|Strong=0251 7 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=2SA_13:8!5|MId=o100130080052|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְה֣וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:8!6|MId=o100130080061|Strong=2050b 9 ה֣וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2SA_13:8!6|MId=o100130080062|Strong=1931|Type=personal 10 שֹׁכֵ֑ב שָׁכַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].lying.down|Ref=2SA_13:8!7|MId=o100130080071|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:100130080062;|Type=participle_active 11-12 וַתִּקַּ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:8!8|MId=o100130080081|Strong=2050b 12 תִּקַּ֨ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.took|Ref=2SA_13:8!8|MId=o100130080082|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:100130080021;A1:100130080102;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_13:8!9|MId=o100130080091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 הַבָּצֵ֤ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_13:8!10|MId=o100130080101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 בָּצֵ֤ק בָּצֵק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=dough|Ref=2SA_13:8!10|MId=o100130080102|Strong=1217 16-17 וַתָּ֙לָשׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:8!12|MId=o100130080121|Strong=2050b 17 תָּ֙לָשׁ֙ לוּשׁ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.kneaded.[it]|Ref=2SA_13:8!12|MId=o100130080122|Strong=3888|Frame=A0:100130080021;A1:100130080102;|Type=wayyiqtol 18-19 וַתְּלַבֵּ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:8!13|MId=o100130080131|Strong=2050b 19 תְּלַבֵּ֣ב לִבֵּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.made.cakes|Ref=2SA_13:8!13|MId=o100130080132|Strong=3823a|Frame=A0:100130080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 20-22 לְעֵינָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_13:8!14|MId=o100130080141|Strong=3807a 21 עֵינָ֔י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 19 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=2SA_13:8!14|MId=o100130080142|Strong=5869 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_13:8!14|MId=o100130080143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 וַתְּבַשֵּׁ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_13:8!15|MId=o100130080151|Strong=2050b 24 תְּבַשֵּׁ֖ל בָּשַׁל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.cooked|Ref=2SA_13:8!15|MId=o100130080152|Strong=1310|Frame=A0:100130080021;A1:100130080172;|Type=wayyiqtol 25 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_13:8!16|MId=o100130080161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 הַלְּבִבֽוֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_13:8!17|MId=o100130080171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 לְּבִבֽוֹת לְבִבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 24 obj _ Gloss=cakes|Ref=2SA_13:8!17|MId=o100130080172|Strong=3834 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2SA_13:8!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵּלֶךְ *she went* | wayyiqtol · qal | תָּמָר *Tamar* | | | | | שֹׁכֵב *\[was\] lying down* | participle active · qal | הוּא *he* | | | | | תִּקַּח *she took* | wayyiqtol · qal | תָּמָר *Tamar* | בָּצֵק *dough* | | | | תָּלָשׁ *she kneaded \[it\]* | wayyiqtol · qal | תָּמָר *Tamar* | בָּצֵק *dough* | | | | תְּלַבֵּב *she made cakes* | wayyiqtol · piel | תָּמָר *Tamar* | | | | | תְּבַשֵּׁל *she cooked* | wayyiqtol · piel | תָּמָר *Tamar* | לְּבִבֽוֹת *cakes* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
