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 — king, thou — and what happens in the verse to Amasa, men, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶל־עֲמָשָׂ֔א הַזְעֶק־לִ֥י אֶת־אִישׁ־יְהוּדָ֖ה שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֑ים וְאַתָּ֖ה פֹּ֥ה עֲמֹֽד׃ [Then said the king to Amasa: 'Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.605/) ## 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:535 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶל־עֲמָשָׂ֔א הַזְעֶק־לִ֥י אֶת־אִישׁ־יְהוּדָ֖ה שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֑ים וְאַתָּ֖ה פֹּ֥ה עֲמֹֽד׃ # verse = 2SA.20.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_20:4!1|MId=o100200040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_20:4!1|MId=o100200040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100200040022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_20:4!2|MId=o100200040021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_20:4!2|MId=o100200040022|Strong=4428 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_20:4!3|MId=o100200040031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 עֲמָשָׂ֔א עֲמָשָׂא PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Amasa|Ref=2SA_20:4!4|MId=o100200040041|Strong=6021 7 הַזְעֶק־ זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=summon|Ref=2SA_20:4!5|MId=o100200040051|Strong=2199|Frame=AA:100200040041;A0:100200040081;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 לִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_20:4!6|MId=o100200040061|Strong=3807a 9 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=2SA_20:4!6|MId=o100200040062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_20:4!7|MId=o100200040071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11 אִישׁ־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=2SA_20:4!8|MId=o100200040081|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 12 יְהוּדָ֖ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=2SA_20:4!9|MId=o100200040091|Strong=3063 13 שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=2SA_20:4!10|MId=o100200040101|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 14 יָמִ֑ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=2SA_20:4!11|MId=o100200040111|Strong=3117 15-16 וְאַתָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_20:4!12|MId=o100200040121|Strong=2050b 16 אַתָּ֖ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_20:4!12|MId=o100200040122|Strong=0859|Type=personal 17 פֹּ֥ה פֹּה ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=here|Ref=2SA_20:4!13|MId=o100200040131|Strong=6311 18 עֲמֹֽד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=stand|Ref=2SA_20:4!14|MId=o100200040141|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:100200040122;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=2SA_20:4!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - 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 | מֶּלֶךְ *king* | | | | | הַזְעֶק־ *summon* | imperative · hiphil | אִישׁ־ *the man* | | | עֲמָשָׂא *Amasa* | | עֲמֹֽד *stand* | imperative · qal | אַתָּה *you* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
