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 — king, thine, Ziba, I, me, thy — and what happens in the verse to Ziba, all, myself, me, favour, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ לְצִבָ֔א הִנֵּ֣ה לְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר לִמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁתמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁת וַיֹּ֤אמֶר צִיבָא֙ הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֔יתִי אֶמְצָא־חֵ֥ן בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ [Then said the king to Ziba: 'Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2SA:407 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ לְצִבָ֔א הִנֵּ֣ה לְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר לִמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁתמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁת וַיֹּ֤אמֶר צִיבָא֙ הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֔יתִי אֶמְצָא־חֵ֥ן בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ # verse = 2SA.16.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:4!1|MId=o100160040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_16:4!1|MId=o100160040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100160040022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_16:4!2|MId=o100160040021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_16:4!2|MId=o100160040022|Strong=4428 5-6 לְצִבָ֔א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_16:4!3|MId=o100160040031|Strong=3807a 6 צִבָ֔א צִיבָא PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Ziba|Ref=2SA_16:4!3|MId=o100160040032|Strong=6717 7 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=2SA_16:4!4|MId=o100160040041|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 8-9 לְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=2SA_16:4!5|MId=o100160040051|Strong=3807a 9 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_16:4!5|MId=o100160040052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=2SA_16:4!6|MId=o100160040061|Strong=3605 11 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=2SA_16:4!7|MId=o100160040071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12-14 לִמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁתמְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[belonged]|Ref=2SA_16:4!8|MId=o100160040081|Strong=3807a 13 מְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁת מְפִיבֹשֶׁת PROPN _ _ 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_16:4!8|MId=o100160040082 14 מְפִי־בֹ֑שֶׁת מְפִיבֹשֶׁת PROPN _ _ 13 nmod _ Gloss=Mephibosheth|Ref=2SA_16:4!9|MId=o100160040091 15-16 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_16:4!10|MId=o100160040101|Strong=2050b 16 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_16:4!10|MId=o100160040102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100160040101;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 צִיבָא֙ צִיבָא PROPN _ _ 16 nsubj _ Gloss=Ziba|Ref=2SA_16:4!11|MId=o100160040111|Strong=6717 18 הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֔יתִי חוה VERB _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1 16 ccomp _ Gloss=I.bow.down|Ref=2SA_16:4!12|MId=o100160040121|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:100160040101;|Type=qatal 19 אֶמְצָא־ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 18 parataxis _ Gloss=may.I.find|Ref=2SA_16:4!13|MId=o100160040131|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:100160040101;A1:100160040131;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 20 חֵ֥ן חֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=favor|Ref=2SA_16:4!14|MId=o100160040141|Strong=2580 21-23 בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_16:4!15|MId=o100160040151|Strong=0871a 22 עֵינֶ֖י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 19 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=2SA_16:4!15|MId=o100160040152|Strong=5869 23 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_16:4!15|MId=o100160040153|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-25 אֲדֹנִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 parataxis _ Gloss=my.lord|Ref=2SA_16:4!16|MId=o100160040161|Strong=0113 25 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2SA_16:4!16|MId=o100160040162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26-27 הַמֶּֽלֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_16:4!17|MId=o100160040171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 מֶּֽלֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 appos _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_16:4!17|MId=o100160040172|Strong=4428 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2SA_16:4!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | וַ *and* | | | | | הִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵיתִי *I bow down* | qatal | וַ *and* | | | | | אֶמְצָא־ *may I find* | yiqtol · qal | וַ *and* | אֶמְצָא־ *may I find* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
