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 — Hushai, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר חוּשַׁי֮ אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹם֒ לֹ֕א כִּי֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּחַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה וְהָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה וְכָל־אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל ל֥וֹ אֶהְיֶ֖ה וְאִתּ֥וֹ אֵשֵֽׁב׃ [And Hushai said unto Absalom: 'Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.475/) ## 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:421 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר חוּשַׁי֮ אֶל־אַבְשָׁלֹם֒ לֹ֕א כִּי֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר בָּחַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה וְהָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֖ה וְכָל־אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל ל֥וֹ אֶהְיֶ֖ה וְאִתּ֥וֹ אֵשֵֽׁב׃ # verse = 2SA.16.18 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:18!1|MId=o100160180011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_16:18!1|MId=o100160180012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100160180021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 חוּשַׁי֮ חוּשַׁי PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Hushai|Ref=2SA_16:18!2|MId=o100160180021|Strong=2365 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_16:18!3|MId=o100160180031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 אַבְשָׁלֹם֒ אַבְשָׁלֹום PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Absalom|Ref=2SA_16:18!4|MId=o100160180041|Strong=0053 6 לֹ֕א לֹא ADV _ _ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=no|Ref=2SA_16:18!5|MId=o100160180051|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2SA_16:18!6|MId=o100160180061|Strong=3588 8 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=[the.one].whom|Ref=2SA_16:18!7|MId=o100160180071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 9 בָּחַ֧ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 dislocated _ Gloss=he.has.chosen|Ref=2SA_16:18!8|MId=o100160180081|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:100160180091;100160180103;100160180131;|Type=qatal 10 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_16:18!9|MId=o100160180091|Strong=3068 11-13 וְהָעָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:18!10|MId=o100160180101|Strong=2050b 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_16:18!10|MId=o100160180102|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עָ֥ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=people|Ref=2SA_16:18!10|MId=o100160180103|Strong=5971 14-15 הַזֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2SA_16:18!11|MId=o100160180111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 זֶּ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=2SA_16:18!11|MId=o100160180112|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 16-17 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:18!12|MId=o100160180121|Strong=2050b 17 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=2SA_16:18!12|MId=o100160180122|Strong=3605 18 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(the).man|Ref=2SA_16:18!13|MId=o100160180131|Strong=0376 19 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2SA_16:18!14|MId=o100160180141|Strong=3478 20-21 ל֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_16:18!16|MId=o100160180161|Strong=3807a 21 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 advcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_16:18!16|MId=o100160180162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 אֶהְיֶ֖ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 21 cop _ Gloss=I.will.belong|Ref=2SA_16:18!17|MId=o100160180171|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:100160180021;|Type=yiqtol 23-25 וְאִתּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:18!18|MId=o100160180181|Strong=2050b 24 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2SA_16:18!18|MId=o100160180182|Strong=0854 25 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_16:18!18|MId=o100160180183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 אֵשֵֽׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 21 conj _ Gloss=I.will.remain|Ref=2SA_16:18!19|MId=o100160180191|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:100160180021;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2SA_16:18!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | חוּשַׁי *Hushai* | | | | | בָּחַר *he has chosen* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* + עָם *people* + אִישׁ *(the) man* | | | | | אֶהְיֶה *I will belong* | yiqtol · qal | חוּשַׁי *Hushai* | | | | | אֵשֵֽׁב *I will remain* | yiqtol · qal | חוּשַׁי *Hushai* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
