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 — David, LORD — and what happens in the verse to Rechab, soul, adversity, 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. וַיַּ֨עַן דָּוִ֜ד אֶת־רֵכָ֣ב ׀ וְאֶת־בַּעֲנָ֣ה אָחִ֗יו בְּנֵ֛י רִמּ֥וֹן הַבְּאֵֽרֹתִ֖י וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֑ם חַי־יְהוָ֕ה אֲשֶׁר־פָּדָ֥ה אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֖י מִכָּל־צָרָֽה׃ [And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them: 'As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.122/) ## 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:106 # text = וַיַּ֨עַן דָּוִ֜ד אֶת־רֵכָ֣ב ׀ וְאֶת־בַּעֲנָ֣ה אָחִ֗יו בְּנֵ֛י רִמּ֥וֹן הַבְּאֵֽרֹתִ֖י וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֑ם חַי־יְהוָ֕ה אֲשֶׁר־פָּדָ֥ה אֶת־נַפְשִׁ֖י מִכָּל־צָרָֽה׃ # verse = 2SA.4.9 1-2 וַיַּ֨עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_4:9!1|MId=o100040090011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֨עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=2SA_4:9!1|MId=o100040090012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:100040090021;A1:100040090041;100040090061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דָּוִ֜ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_4:9!2|MId=o100040090021|Strong=1732 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_4:9!3|MId=o100040090031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 רֵכָ֣ב רֵכָב PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Rechab|Ref=2SA_4:9!4|MId=o100040090041|Strong=7394 6 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 5 punct _ Ref=2SA_4:9!4 7-8 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_4:9!5|MId=o100040090051|Strong=2050b 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_4:9!5|MId=o100040090052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 בַּעֲנָ֣ה בַּעֲנָה PROPN _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=Baanah|Ref=2SA_4:9!6|MId=o100040090061|Strong=1196 10-11 אָחִ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אָחִ֗י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=2SA_4:9!7|MId=o100040090071|Strong=0251 11 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_4:9!7|MId=o100040090072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 בְּנֵ֛י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=2SA_4:9!8|MId=o100040090081|Strong=1121 13 רִמּ֥וֹן רִמּוֹן PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Rimmon|Ref=2SA_4:9!9|MId=o100040090091|Strong=7417 14-15 הַבְּאֵֽרֹתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_4:9!10|MId=o100040090101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 בְּאֵֽרֹתִ֖י בְּאֵרֹתִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=Beerothite|Ref=2SA_4:9!10|MId=o100040090102|Strong=0886|Type=gentilic 16-17 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_4:9!11|MId=o100040090111|Strong=2050b 17 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=2SA_4:9!11|MId=o100040090112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100040090021;|Type=wayyiqtol 18-19 לָהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_4:9!12|MId=o100040090121|Strong=3807a 19 ָהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=2SA_4:9!12|MId=o100040090122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 חַי־ חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 ccomp _ Gloss=[by].the.life|Ref=2SA_4:9!13|MId=o100040090131|Strong=2416|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 21 יְהוָ֕ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 nsubj _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2SA_4:9!14|MId=o100040090141|Strong=3068 22 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=2SA_4:9!15|MId=o100040090151|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 23 פָּדָ֥ה פָּדָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.ransomed|Ref=2SA_4:9!16|MId=o100040090161|Strong=6299|Frame=A0:100040090141;A1:100040090181;|Type=qatal 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_4:9!17|MId=o100040090171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 נַפְשִׁ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=life|Ref=2SA_4:9!18|MId=o100040090181|Strong=5315 26 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2SA_4:9!18|MId=o100040090182|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 27-28 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_4:9!19|MId=o100040090191|Strong=4480 28 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=every|Ref=2SA_4:9!19|MId=o100040090192|Strong=3605 29 צָרָֽה צָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=trouble|Ref=2SA_4:9!20|MId=o100040090201|Strong=6869|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=2SA_4:9!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִד *David* | רֵכָב *Rechab* + בַּעֲנָה *Baanah* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִד *David* | | | | | פָּדָה *he has ransomed* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | נַפְשׁ *life* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
