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 — people — and what happens in the verse to wilderness, 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. וּדְבַ֣שׁ וְחֶמְאָ֗ה וְצֹאן֙ וּשְׁפ֣וֹת בָּקָ֔ר הִגִּ֧ישׁוּ לְדָוִ֛ד וְלָעָ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ֖וֹ לֶאֱכ֑וֹל כִּ֣י אָמְר֔וּ הָעָ֗ם רָעֵ֛ב וְעָיֵ֥ף וְצָמֵ֖א בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ [and honey, and curd, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat; for they said: 'The people is hungry, and faint, and thirsty, in the wilderness.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.510/) ## 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:455 # text = וּדְבַ֣שׁ וְחֶמְאָ֗ה וְצֹאן֙ וּשְׁפ֣וֹת בָּקָ֔ר הִגִּ֧ישׁוּ לְדָוִ֛ד וְלָעָ֥ם אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ֖וֹ לֶאֱכ֑וֹל כִּ֣י אָמְר֔וּ הָעָ֗ם רָעֵ֛ב וְעָיֵ֥ף וְצָמֵ֖א בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ # verse = 2SA.17.29 1-2 וּדְבַ֣שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!1|MId=o100170290011|Strong=2050b 2 דְבַ֣שׁ דְּבַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=honey|Ref=2SA_17:29!1|MId=o100170290012|Strong=1706 3-4 וְחֶמְאָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!2|MId=o100170290021|Strong=2050b 4 חֶמְאָ֗ה חֶמְאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=curd[s]|Ref=2SA_17:29!2|MId=o100170290022|Strong=2529 5-6 וְצֹאן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!3|MId=o100170290031|Strong=2050b 6 צֹאן֙ צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=2SA_17:29!3|MId=o100170290032|Strong=6629 7-8 וּשְׁפ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!4|MId=o100170290041|Strong=2050b 8 שְׁפ֣וֹת שְׁפוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=cheese|Ref=2SA_17:29!4|MId=o100170290042|Strong=8194 9 בָּקָ֔ר בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].herd|Ref=2SA_17:29!5|MId=o100170290051|Strong=1241 10 הִגִּ֧ישׁוּ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.brought|Ref=2SA_17:29!6|MId=o100170290061|Strong=5066|Frame=AA:100170270052;100170270112;100170270152;A0:100170290012;100170290022;100170290032;100170290042;100170280011;100170280022;100170280032;100170280052;100170280062;100170280072;100170280082;100170280092;100170280102;100170280112;|Type=qatal 11-12 לְדָוִ֛ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2SA_17:29!7|MId=o100170290071|Strong=3807a 12 דָוִ֛ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_17:29!7|MId=o100170290072|Strong=1732 13-16 וְלָעָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!8|MId=o100170290081|Strong=2050b 14 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=2SA_17:29!8|MId=o100170290082|Strong=3807a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_17:29!8|MId=o100170290082ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 עָ֥ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=people|Ref=2SA_17:29!8|MId=o100170290083|Strong=5971 17 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=2SA_17:29!9|MId=o100170290091|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 אִתּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[was].with|Ref=2SA_17:29!10|MId=o100170290101|Strong=0854 19 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_17:29!10|MId=o100170290102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-21 לֶאֱכ֑וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לֶ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_17:29!11|MId=o100170290111|Strong=3807a 21 אֱכ֑וֹל אָכַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=eat|Ref=2SA_17:29!11|MId=o100170290112|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:100170290072;100170290084;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2SA_17:29!12|MId=o100170290121|Strong=3588 23 אָמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 advcl _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=2SA_17:29!13|MId=o100170290131|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100170270052;100170270112;100170270152;|Type=qatal 24-25 הָעָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_17:29!14|MId=o100170290141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 עָ֗ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=2SA_17:29!14|MId=o100170290142|Strong=5971 26 רָעֵ֛ב רָעֵב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].hungry|Ref=2SA_17:29!15|MId=o100170290151|Strong=7457|Type=adjective 27-28 וְעָיֵ֥ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!16|MId=o100170290161|Strong=2050b 28 עָיֵ֥ף עָיֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 amod _ Gloss=weary|Ref=2SA_17:29!16|MId=o100170290162|Strong=5889|Type=adjective 29-30 וְצָמֵ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_17:29!17|MId=o100170290171|Strong=2050b 30 צָמֵ֖א צָמֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 amod _ Gloss=thirsty|Ref=2SA_17:29!17|MId=o100170290172|Strong=6771|Type=adjective 31-33 בַּמִּדְבָּֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_17:29!18|MId=o100170290181|Strong=0871a 32 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_17:29!18|MId=o100170290181ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 מִּדְבָּֽר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=2SA_17:29!18|MId=o100170290182|Strong=4057 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=2SA_17:29!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
