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 — We, thou — and what happens in the verse to Israel, city, inheritance, LORD, 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. אָנֹכִ֕י שְׁלֻמֵ֖י אֱמוּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַתָּ֣ה מְבַקֵּ֗שׁ לְהָמִ֨ית עִ֤יר וְאֵם֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לָ֥מָּה תְבַלַּ֖ע נַחֲלַ֥ת יְהוָֽה׃פ [We are of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel; seekest thou to destroy a city and a mother in Israel? why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.623/) ## 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:550 # text = אָנֹכִ֕י שְׁלֻמֵ֖י אֱמוּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אַתָּ֣ה מְבַקֵּ֗שׁ לְהָמִ֨ית עִ֤יר וְאֵם֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לָ֥מָּה תְבַלַּ֖ע נַחֲלַ֥ת יְהוָֽה׃פ # verse = 2SA.20.19 1 אָנֹכִ֕י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=2SA_20:19!1|MId=o100200190011|Strong=0595|Type=personal 2 שְׁלֻמֵ֖י שָׁלַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[am].the.peaceful.[ones]|Ref=2SA_20:19!2|MId=o100200190021|Strong=7999|Type=participle_passive 3 אֱמוּנֵ֣י אֱמוּן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.faithful.[ones]|Ref=2SA_20:19!3|MId=o100200190031|Strong=0529a|Type=adjective 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2SA_20:19!4|MId=o100200190041|Strong=3478 5 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_20:19!5|MId=o100200190051|Strong=0859|Type=personal 6 מְבַקֵּ֗שׁ בָּקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].seeking|Ref=2SA_20:19!6|MId=o100200190061|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:100200190051;|Type=participle_active 7-8 לְהָמִ֨ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_20:19!7|MId=o100200190071|Strong=3807a 8 הָמִ֨ית מוּת VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 6 advcl _ Gloss=kill|Ref=2SA_20:19!7|MId=o100200190072|Strong=4191|Frame=AA:100200150151;A0:100200190081;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 עִ֤יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=a.city|Ref=2SA_20:19!8|MId=o100200190081|Strong=5892 10-11 וְאֵם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_20:19!9|MId=o100200190091|Strong=2050b 11 אֵם֙ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=a.mother|Ref=2SA_20:19!9|MId=o100200190092|Strong=0517 12-13 בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_20:19!10|MId=o100200190101|Strong=0871a 13 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2SA_20:19!10|MId=o100200190102|Strong=3478 14-15 לָ֥מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לָ֥ לָמָה ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_20:19!11|MId=o100200190111|Strong=3807a 15 מָּה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 16 obl _ Gloss=why?|Ref=2SA_20:19!11|MId=o100200190112|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 16 תְבַלַּ֖ע בָּלַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=will.you.swallow.up|Ref=2SA_20:19!12|MId=o100200190121|Strong=1104|Frame=A0:100200150151;A1:100200190131;|Type=yiqtol 17 נַחֲלַ֥ת נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=the.inheritance|Ref=2SA_20:19!13|MId=o100200190131|Strong=5159 18 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2SA_20:19!14|MId=o100200190141|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=2SA_20:19!14|SpaceAfter=No 20 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=2SA_20:19!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מְבַקֵּשׁ *\[are\] seeking* | participle active · piel | אַתָּה *you* | | | | | הָמִית *kill* | infinitive construct · hiphil | עִיר *a city* | | | | | תְבַלַּע *will you swallow up* | yiqtol · piel | | נַחֲלַת *the inheritance* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
