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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to me, 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. אוּלַ֛י יִרְאֶ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה בְּעֵינִ֑י וְהֵשִׁ֨יב יְהוָ֥ה לִי֙ טוֹבָ֔ה תַּ֥חַת קִלְלָת֖וֹ הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [It may be that the LORD will look on mine eye, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing of me this day.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.469/) ## 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:415 # text = אוּלַ֛י יִרְאֶ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה בְּעֵינִ֑י וְהֵשִׁ֨יב יְהוָ֥ה לִי֙ טוֹבָ֔ה תַּ֥חַת קִלְלָת֖וֹ הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = 2SA.16.12 1 אוּלַ֛י אוּלַי ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=perhaps|Ref=2SA_16:12!1|MId=o100160120011|Strong=0194 2 יִרְאֶ֥ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.look|Ref=2SA_16:12!2|MId=o100160120021|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:100160120031;|Type=yiqtol 3 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_16:12!3|MId=o100160120031|Strong=3068 4-6 בְּעֵינִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_16:12!5|MId=o100160120051|Strong=0871a 5 עֵינ עַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=eye|Ref=2SA_16:12!5|MId=o100160120052|Strong=5869 6 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2SA_16:12!5|MId=o100160120053|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְהֵשִׁ֨יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:12!6|MId=o100160120061|Strong=2050b 8 הֵשִׁ֨יב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.repay|Ref=2SA_16:12!6|MId=o100160120062|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:100160120071;A0:100160120091;|Type=weqatal 9 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_16:12!7|MId=o100160120071|Strong=3068 10-11 לִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_16:12!8|MId=o100160120081|Strong=3807a 11 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=2SA_16:12!8|MId=o100160120082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12 טוֹבָ֔ה טוֹבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=good|Ref=2SA_16:12!9|MId=o100160120091|Strong=2896b|Type=adjective 13 תַּ֥חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=in.place.of|Ref=2SA_16:12!10|MId=o100160120101|Strong=8478 14-15 קִלְלָת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 קִלְלָת קְלָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=curse|Ref=2SA_16:12!11|MId=o100160120111|Strong=7045 15 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_16:12!11|MId=o100160120112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-17 הַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_16:12!12|MId=o100160120121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=2SA_16:12!12|MId=o100160120122|Strong=3117 18-19 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2SA_16:12!13|MId=o100160120131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 17 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2SA_16:12!13|MId=o100160120132|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=2SA_16:12!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִרְאֶה *he will look* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | הֵשִׁיב *he will repay* | weqatal · hiphil | טוֹבָה *good* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
