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 king, David, Israel, kingdom, 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. וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔ד כִּֽי־הֱכִינ֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְכִי֙ נִשֵּׂ֣א מַמְלַכְתּ֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ס [And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.139/) ## 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:121 # text = וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔ד כִּֽי־הֱכִינ֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְכִי֙ נִשֵּׂ֣א מַמְלַכְתּ֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ס # verse = 2SA.5.12 1-2 וַיֵּ֣דַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_5:12!1|MId=o100050120011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּ֣דַע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.knew|Ref=2SA_5:12!1|MId=o100050120012|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:100050120021;A1:100050120041;100050120101;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 דָּוִ֔ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_5:12!2|MId=o100050120021|Strong=1732 4 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=2SA_5:12!3|MId=o100050120031|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הֱכִינ֧וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הֱכִינ כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he|Ref=2SA_5:12!4|MId=o100050120041|Strong=3559|Frame=A0:100050120042;AA:100050120051;|Type=qatal 6 ֧וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=had.appointed.him|Ref=2SA_5:12!4|MId=o100050120042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_5:12!5|MId=o100050120051|Strong=3068 8-9 לְמֶ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_5:12!6|MId=o100050120061|Strong=3807a 9 מֶ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_5:12!6|MId=o100050120062|Strong=4428 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=2SA_5:12!7|MId=o100050120071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2SA_5:12!8|MId=o100050120081|Strong=3478 12-13 וְכִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and.(dm)|Ref=2SA_5:12!9|MId=o100050120091|Strong=2050b 13 כִי֙ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=2SA_5:12!9|MId=o100050120092|Strong=3588 14 נִשֵּׂ֣א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.had.exalted|Ref=2SA_5:12!10|MId=o100050120101|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:100050120051;A1:100050120111;|Type=qatal 15-16 מַמְלַכְתּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מַמְלַכְתּ מַמְלֶכֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=kingdom|Ref=2SA_5:12!11|MId=o100050120111|Strong=4467 16 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_5:12!11|MId=o100050120112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 בַּעֲב֖וּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=because|Ref=2SA_5:12!12|MId=o100050120121|Strong=0871a 18 עֲב֖וּר עָבוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=2SA_5:12!12|MId=o100050120122|Strong=5668 19-20 עַמּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=people|Ref=2SA_5:12!13|MId=o100050120131|Strong=5971 20 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=2SA_5:12!13|MId=o100050120132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 appos _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=2SA_5:12!14|MId=o100050120141|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=2SA_5:12!14|SpaceAfter=No 23 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=2SA_5:12!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּדַע *he knew* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּוִד *David* | הֱכִינ *he* + נִשֵּׂא *he had exalted* | | | | הֱכִינ *he* | qatal · hiphil | וֹ *had appointed him* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | נִשֵּׂא *he had exalted* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מַמְלַכְתּ *kingdom* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
