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 — salvation, thorns — and what happens in the verse to all, salvation, 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. וּבְלִיַּ֕עַל כְּק֥וֹץ מֻנָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֑הַם כִּֽי־לֹ֥א בְיָ֖ד יִקָּֽחוּ׃ [But the ungodly, they are as thorns thrust away, all of them, for they cannot be taken with the hand;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.716/) ## 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:636 # text = וּבְלִיַּ֕עַל כְּק֥וֹץ מֻנָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֑הַם כִּֽי־לֹ֥א בְיָ֖ד יִקָּֽחוּ׃ # verse = 2SA.23.6 1-2 וּבְלִיַּ֕עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_23:6!1|MId=o100230060011|Strong=2050b 2 בְלִיַּ֕עַל בְּלִיַּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 dislocated _ Gloss=a.worthless.person|Ref=2SA_23:6!1|MId=o100230060012|Strong=1100 3-4 כְּק֥וֹץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=[is].like|Ref=2SA_23:6!2|MId=o100230060021|Strong=3509a 4 ק֥וֹץ קוֹץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=thorn[s]|Ref=2SA_23:6!2|MId=o100230060022|Strong=6975 5 מֻנָ֖ד נָדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[which.is].chased.away|Ref=2SA_23:6!3|MId=o100230060031|Strong=5074|Frame=A1:100230060042;|Type=participle_passive 6-7 כֻּלָּ֑הַם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כֻּלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=2SA_23:6!4|MId=o100230060041|Strong=3605 7 ָ֑הַם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=2SA_23:6!4|MId=o100230060042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2SA_23:6!5|MId=o100230060051|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 9 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=2SA_23:6!6|MId=o100230060061|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10-11 בְיָ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_23:6!7|MId=o100230060071|Strong=0871a 11 יָ֖ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=a.hand|Ref=2SA_23:6!7|MId=o100230060072|Strong=3027 12 יִקָּֽחוּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 advcl _ Gloss=people.will.take|Ref=2SA_23:6!8|MId=o100230060081|Strong=3947|Frame=A1:100230060022;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 13 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 12 punct _ Ref=2SA_23:6!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מֻנָד *\[which is\] chased away* | participle passive · hophal | | ָהַם *all* | | | | **not** יִקָּֽחוּ *people will take* | yiqtol · niphal | | קוֹץ *thorn\[s\]* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
