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 — servants, lord — and what happens in the verse to whatsoever, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ עַבְדֵֽי־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֶל־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ כְּכֹ֧ל אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֛ר אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ הִנֵּ֥ה עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃ [And the king's servants said unto the king: 'Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.433/) ## 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:381 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ עַבְדֵֽי־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֶל־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ כְּכֹ֧ל אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֛ר אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ הִנֵּ֥ה עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃ # verse = 2SA.15.15 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_15:15!1|MId=o100150150011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֥וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=2SA_15:15!1|MId=o100150150012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100150150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַבְדֵֽי־ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.servants|Ref=2SA_15:15!2|MId=o100150150021|Strong=5650|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_15:15!3|MId=o100150150031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מֶּ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=2SA_15:15!3|MId=o100150150032|Strong=4428 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_15:15!4|MId=o100150150041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_15:15!5|MId=o100150150051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 מֶּ֑לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_15:15!5|MId=o100150150052|Strong=4428 9-10 כְּכֹ֧ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=2SA_15:15!6|MId=o100150150061|Strong=3509a 10 כֹ֧ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 dislocated _ Gloss=to.all|Ref=2SA_15:15!6|MId=o100150150062|Strong=3605 11 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=2SA_15:15!7|MId=o100150150071|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 12 יִבְחַ֛ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.choose|Ref=2SA_15:15!8|MId=o100150150081|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:100150150091;A1:100150150062;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 אֲדֹנִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=lord|Ref=2SA_15:15!9|MId=o100150150091|Strong=0113 14 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2SA_15:15!9|MId=o100150150092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-16 הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_15:15!10|MId=o100150150101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מֶּ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_15:15!10|MId=o100150150102|Strong=4428 17 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 18 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2SA_15:15!11|MId=o100150150111|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 18-19 עֲבָדֶֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עֲבָדֶֽי עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 ccomp _ Gloss=servants|Ref=2SA_15:15!12|MId=o100150150121|Strong=5650 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].your|Ref=2SA_15:15!12|MId=o100150150122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=2SA_15:15!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | עַבְדֵֽי־ *the servants* | | | | | יִבְחַר *he will choose* | yiqtol · qal | אֲדֹנ *lord* | כֹל *to all* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
