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 — Joab, I — and what happens in the verse to three darts, hand, darts, heart, midst, 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 יוֹאָ֔ב לֹא־כֵ֖ן אֹחִ֣ילָה לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וַיִּקַּח֩ שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה שְׁבָטִ֜ים בְּכַפּ֗וֹ וַיִּתְקָעֵם֙ בְּלֵ֣ב אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם עוֹדֶ֥נּוּ חַ֖י בְּלֵ֥ב הָאֵלָֽה׃ [Then said Joab: 'I may not tarry thus with thee.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2SA:469 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יוֹאָ֔ב לֹא־כֵ֖ן אֹחִ֣ילָה לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וַיִּקַּח֩ שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה שְׁבָטִ֜ים בְּכַפּ֗וֹ וַיִּתְקָעֵם֙ בְּלֵ֣ב אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם עוֹדֶ֥נּוּ חַ֖י בְּלֵ֥ב הָאֵלָֽה׃ # verse = 2SA.18.14 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_18:14!1|MId=o100180140011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_18:14!1|MId=o100180140012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100180140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יוֹאָ֔ב יוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Joab|Ref=2SA_18:14!2|MId=o100180140021|Strong=3097 4 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2SA_18:14!3|MId=o100180140031|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 5 כֵ֖ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=2SA_18:14!4|MId=o100180140041|Strong=3651 6 אֹחִ֣ילָה יָחַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.wait|Ref=2SA_18:14!5|MId=o100180140051|Strong=3176|Frame=A0:100180140021;|Type=yiqtol 7-9 לְפָנֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2SA_18:14!6|MId=o100180140061|Strong=3807a 8 פָנֶ֑י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_18:14!6|MId=o100180140062|Strong=6440 9 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_18:14!6|MId=o100180140063|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 וַיִּקַּח֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_18:14!7|MId=o100180140071|Strong=2050b 11 יִּקַּח֩ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=2SA_18:14!7|MId=o100180140072|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:100180140021;A1:100180140091;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=2SA_18:14!8|MId=o100180140081|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 13 שְׁבָטִ֜ים שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 obj _ Gloss=spears|Ref=2SA_18:14!9|MId=o100180140091|Strong=7626 14-16 בְּכַפּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_18:14!10|MId=o100180140101|Strong=0871a 15 כַפּ כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=palm|Ref=2SA_18:14!10|MId=o100180140102|Strong=3709 16 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_18:14!10|MId=o100180140103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-19 וַיִּתְקָעֵם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_18:14!11|MId=o100180140111|Strong=2050b 18 יִּתְקָע תָּקַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2SA_18:14!11|MId=o100180140112|Strong=8628|Frame=A0:100180140021;A1:100180140113;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 ֵם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=thrust.them|Ref=2SA_18:14!11|MId=o100180140113|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 בְּלֵ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_18:14!12|MId=o100180140121|Strong=0871a 21 לֵ֣ב לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=the.heart|Ref=2SA_18:14!12|MId=o100180140122|Strong=3820 22 אַבְשָׁל֔וֹם אַבְשָׁלֹום PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Absalom|Ref=2SA_18:14!13|MId=o100180140131|Strong=0053 23-24 עוֹדֶ֥נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עוֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=still|Ref=2SA_18:14!14|MId=o100180140141|Strong=5750 24 ֶ֥נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=2SA_18:14!14|MId=o100180140142|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 25 חַ֖י חַי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 parataxis _ Gloss=[was].alive|Ref=2SA_18:14!15|MId=o100180140151|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective 26-27 בְּלֵ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_18:14!16|MId=o100180140161|Strong=0871a 27 לֵ֥ב לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=the.heart|Ref=2SA_18:14!16|MId=o100180140162|Strong=3820 28-29 הָאֵלָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_18:14!17|MId=o100180140171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 אֵלָֽה אֵלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.terebinth|Ref=2SA_18:14!17|MId=o100180140172|Strong=0424 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=2SA_18:14!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | | **not** אֹחִילָה *I will wait* | yiqtol · hiphil | יוֹאָב *Joab* | | | | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | שְׁבָטִים *spears* | | | | יִּתְקָע *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹאָב *Joab* | ֵם *thrust them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
