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 — handmaid, words, one — and what happens in the verse to two sons, field, words, other, handmaid, 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. וּלְשִׁפְחָֽתְךָ֙ שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֔ים וַיִּנָּצ֤וּ שְׁנֵיהֶם֙ בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וְאֵ֥ין מַצִּ֖יל בֵּֽינֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּכּ֧וֹ הָאֶחָ֛ד אֶת־הָאֶחָ֖ד וַיָּ֥מֶת אֹתֽוֹ׃ [And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.389/) ## 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:339 # text = וּלְשִׁפְחָֽתְךָ֙ שְׁנֵ֣י בָנִ֔ים וַיִּנָּצ֤וּ שְׁנֵיהֶם֙ בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וְאֵ֥ין מַצִּ֖יל בֵּֽינֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּכּ֧וֹ הָאֶחָ֛ד אֶת־הָאֶחָ֖ד וַיָּ֥מֶת אֹתֽוֹ׃ # verse = 2SA.14.6 1-4 וּלְשִׁפְחָֽתְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and.[belonged]|Ref=2SA_14:6!1|MId=o100140060011|Strong=2050b 2 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_14:6!1|MId=o100140060012|Strong=3807a 3 שִׁפְחָֽת שִׁפְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=maidservant|Ref=2SA_14:6!1|MId=o100140060013|Strong=8198 4 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_14:6!1|MId=o100140060014|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5 שְׁנֵ֣י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 6 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=2SA_14:6!2|MId=o100140060021|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 6 בָנִ֔ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=2SA_14:6!3|MId=o100140060031|Strong=1121 7-8 וַיִּנָּצ֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:6!4|MId=o100140060041|Strong=2050b 8 יִּנָּצ֤וּ נָצָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.struggled.together|Ref=2SA_14:6!4|MId=o100140060042|Strong=5327|Frame=A0:100140060052;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 שְׁנֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 שְׁנֵי שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 10 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=2SA_14:6!5|MId=o100140060051|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 10 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=2SA_14:6!5|MId=o100140060052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-13 בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_14:6!6|MId=o100140060061|Strong=0871a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_14:6!6|MId=o100140060061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 שָּׂדֶ֔ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=field|Ref=2SA_14:6!6|MId=o100140060062|Strong=7704 14-15 וְאֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:6!7|MId=o100140060071|Strong=2050b 15 אֵ֥ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=there.[was].not|Ref=2SA_14:6!7|MId=o100140060072|Strong=0369|Type=negative 16 מַצִּ֖יל נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=a.deliverer|Ref=2SA_14:6!8|MId=o100140060081|Strong=5337|Type=participle_active 17-18 בֵּֽינֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בֵּֽינֵי בֵּין ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=2SA_14:6!9|MId=o100140060091|Strong=0996 18 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=2SA_14:6!9|MId=o100140060092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-21 וַיַּכּ֧וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:6!10|MId=o100140060101|Strong=2050b 20 יַּכּ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2SA_14:6!10|MId=o100140060102|Strong=5221|Frame=A0:100140060103;AA:100140060112;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 ֧וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=struck.him|Ref=2SA_14:6!10|MId=o100140060103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 הָאֶחָ֛ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_14:6!11|MId=o100140060111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 אֶחָ֛ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=one|Ref=2SA_14:6!11|MId=o100140060112|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_14:6!12|MId=o100140060121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 הָאֶחָ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_14:6!13|MId=o100140060131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 אֶחָ֖ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 appos _ Gloss=one|Ref=2SA_14:6!13|MId=o100140060132|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 27-28 וַיָּ֥מֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_14:6!14|MId=o100140060141|Strong=2050b 28 יָּ֥מֶת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.killed|Ref=2SA_14:6!14|MId=o100140060142|Strong=4191|Frame=AA:100140060112;A0:100140060152;|Type=wayyiqtol 29-30 אֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_14:6!15|MId=o100140060151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 30 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_14:6!15|MId=o100140060152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=2SA_14:6!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
