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 — Benjamite, Shimei — and what happens in the verse to haste, king, 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. וַיְמַהֵ֗ר שִׁמְעִ֤י בֶן־גֵּרָא֙ בֶּן־הַיְמִינִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֖ר מִבַּֽחוּרִ֑ים וַיֵּ֙רֶד֙ עִם־אִ֣ישׁ יְהוּדָ֔ה לִקְרַ֖את הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִֽד׃ [And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, made haste and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.568/) ## 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:504 # text = וַיְמַהֵ֗ר שִׁמְעִ֤י בֶן־גֵּרָא֙ בֶּן־הַיְמִינִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֖ר מִבַּֽחוּרִ֑ים וַיֵּ֙רֶד֙ עִם־אִ֣ישׁ יְהוּדָ֔ה לִקְרַ֖את הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִֽד׃ # verse = 2SA.19.17 1-2 וַיְמַהֵ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_19:17!1|MId=o100190170011|Strong=2050b 2 יְמַהֵ֗ר מָהַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.hurried|Ref=2SA_19:17!1|MId=o100190170012|Strong=4116|Frame=A0:100190170021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שִׁמְעִ֤י שִׁמְעִי PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Shimei|Ref=2SA_19:17!2|MId=o100190170021|Strong=8096 4 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=2SA_19:17!3|MId=o100190170031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 גֵּרָא֙ גֵּרָא PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gera|Ref=2SA_19:17!4|MId=o100190170041|Strong=1617 6 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.Ben-|Ref=2SA_19:17!5|MId=o100190170051|Strong=1121|Type=gentilic|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הַיְמִינִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2SA_19:17!6|MId=o100190170061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 יְמִינִ֔י יְמִינִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=jaminite|Ref=2SA_19:17!6|MId=o100190170062|Strong=1145|Type=gentilic 9 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=2SA_19:17!7|MId=o100190170071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10-11 מִבַּֽחוּרִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=[was].from|Ref=2SA_19:17!8|MId=o100190170081|Strong=4480 11 בַּֽחוּרִ֑ים בַּחֻרִים PROPN _ _ 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Bahurim|Ref=2SA_19:17!8|MId=o100190170082|Strong=0980 12-13 וַיֵּ֙רֶד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_19:17!9|MId=o100190170091|Strong=2050b 13 יֵּ֙רֶד֙ יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.came.down|Ref=2SA_19:17!9|MId=o100190170092|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:100190170021;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=2SA_19:17!10|MId=o100190170101|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 15 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=2SA_19:17!11|MId=o100190170111|Strong=0376 16 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=2SA_19:17!12|MId=o100190170121|Strong=3063 17-18 לִקְרַ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_19:17!13|MId=o100190170131|Strong=3807a 18 קְרַ֖את קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=2SA_19:17!13|MId=o100190170132|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:100190170021;A1:100190170142;|Type=infinitive_construct 19-20 הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_19:17!14|MId=o100190170141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מֶּ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_19:17!14|MId=o100190170142|Strong=4428 21 דָּוִֽד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 20 appos _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_19:17!15|MId=o100190170151|Strong=1732|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=2SA_19:17!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְמַהֵר *he hurried* | wayyiqtol · piel | שִׁמְעִי *Shimei* | | | | | יֵּרֶד *he came down* | wayyiqtol · qal | שִׁמְעִי *Shimei* | | | | | קְרַאת *meet* | infinitive construct · qal | שִׁמְעִי *Shimei* | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
