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 — you, hands, ye, Saul, house — and what happens in the verse to hands, me, 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. וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ תֶּחֱזַ֣קְנָה יְדֵיכֶ֗ם וִֽהְיוּ֙ לִבְנֵי־חַ֔יִל כִּי־מֵ֖ת אֲדֹנֵיכֶ֣ם שָׁא֑וּל וְגַם־אֹתִ֗י מָשְׁח֧וּ בֵית־יְהוּדָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃פ [Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.40/) ## 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:33 # text = וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ תֶּחֱזַ֣קְנָה יְדֵיכֶ֗ם וִֽהְיוּ֙ לִבְנֵי־חַ֔יִל כִּי־מֵ֖ת אֲדֹנֵיכֶ֣ם שָׁא֑וּל וְגַם־אֹתִ֗י מָשְׁח֧וּ בֵית־יְהוּדָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃פ # verse = 2SA.2.7 1-2 וְעַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_2:7!1|MId=o100020070011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֣ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=2SA_2:7!1|MId=o100020070012|Strong=6258 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=2SA_2:7!1 4 תֶּחֱזַ֣קְנָה חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=let.them.be.strong|Ref=2SA_2:7!2|MId=o100020070021|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:100020070031;|Type=jussive 5-6 יְדֵיכֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 יְדֵי יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 4 nsubj _ Gloss=hands|Ref=2SA_2:7!3|MId=o100020070031|Strong=3027 6 כֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_2:7!3|MId=o100020070032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 7-8 וִֽהְיוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_2:7!4|MId=o100020070041|Strong=2050b 8 הְיוּ֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=2SA_2:7!4|MId=o100020070042|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:100020050051;|Type=imperative 9-10 לִבְנֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=2SA_2:7!5|MId=o100020070051|Strong=3807a 10 בְנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=2SA_2:7!5|MId=o100020070052|Strong=1121 11 חַ֔יִל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.strength|Ref=2SA_2:7!6|MId=o100020070061|Strong=2428 12 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2SA_2:7!7|MId=o100020070071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 13 מֵ֖ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.died|Ref=2SA_2:7!8|MId=o100020070081|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:100020070091;|Type=qatal 14-15 אֲדֹנֵיכֶ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֲדֹנֵי אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=lord(s)|Ref=2SA_2:7!9|MId=o100020070091|Strong=0113 15 כֶ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_2:7!9|MId=o100020070092|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 16 שָׁא֑וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 14 appos _ Gloss=Saul|Ref=2SA_2:7!10|MId=o100020070101|Strong=7586 17-18 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_2:7!11|MId=o100020070111|Strong=2050b 18 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=2SA_2:7!11|MId=o100020070112|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 19-20 אֹתִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_2:7!12|MId=o100020070121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 20 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=2SA_2:7!12|MId=o100020070122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 מָשְׁח֧וּ מָשַׁח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.have.anointed|Ref=2SA_2:7!13|MId=o100020070131|Strong=4886|Frame=A1:100020070122;A0:100020070141;|Type=qatal 22 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_2:7!14|MId=o100020070141|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 23 יְהוּדָ֛ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=2SA_2:7!15|MId=o100020070151|Strong=3063 24-25 לְמֶ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_2:7!16|MId=o100020070161|Strong=3807a 25 מֶ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_2:7!16|MId=o100020070162|Strong=4428 26-27 עֲלֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=2SA_2:7!17|MId=o100020070171|Strong=5921 27 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=2SA_2:7!17|MId=o100020070172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2SA_2:7!17|SpaceAfter=No 29 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=2SA_2:7!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֶּחֱזַקְנָה *let them be strong* | jussive · qal | יְדֵי *hands* | | | | | הְיוּ *become* | imperative · qal | | | | | | מֵת *he has died* | qatal · qal | אֲדֹנֵי *lord(s)* | | | | | מָשְׁחוּ *they have anointed* | qatal · qal | בֵית־ *the house* | ִי *me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
