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 — ark, Michal, king — and what happens in the verse to city, window, king, David, heart, 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. וְהָיָה֙ אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֔ה בָּ֖א עִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וּמִיכַ֨ל בַּת־שָׁא֜וּל נִשְׁקְפָ֣ה ׀ בְּעַ֣ד הַחַלּ֗וֹן וַתֵּ֨רֶא אֶת־הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ מְפַזֵּ֤ז וּמְכַרְכֵּר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַתִּ֥בֶז ל֖וֹ בְּלִבָּֽהּ׃ [And it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.168/) ## 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:150 # text = וְהָיָה֙ אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֔ה בָּ֖א עִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וּמִיכַ֨ל בַּת־שָׁא֜וּל נִשְׁקְפָ֣ה ׀ בְּעַ֣ד הַחַלּ֗וֹן וַתֵּ֨רֶא אֶת־הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ מְפַזֵּ֤ז וּמְכַרְכֵּר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַתִּ֥בֶז ל֖וֹ בְּלִבָּֽהּ׃ # verse = 2SA.6.16 1-2 וְהָיָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:16!1|MId=o100060160011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָה֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2SA_6:16!1|MId=o100060160012|Strong=1961|Type=qatal 3 אֲר֣וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=2SA_6:16!2|MId=o100060160021|Strong=0727 4 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2SA_6:16!3|MId=o100060160031|Strong=3068 5 בָּ֖א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=coming|Ref=2SA_6:16!4|MId=o100060160041|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:100060160021;|Type=qatal 6 עִ֣יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=2SA_6:16!5|MId=o100060160051|Strong=5892 7 דָּוִ֑ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.David|Ref=2SA_6:16!6|MId=o100060160061|Strong=1732 8-9 וּמִיכַ֨ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:16!7|MId=o100060160071|Strong=2050b 9 מִיכַ֨ל מִיכַל PROPN _ _ 12 nsubj _ Gloss=Michal|Ref=2SA_6:16!7|MId=o100060160072|Strong=4324 10 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=2SA_6:16!8|MId=o100060160081|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 11 שָׁא֜וּל שָׁאוּל PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Saul|Ref=2SA_6:16!9|MId=o100060160091|Strong=7586 12 נִשְׁקְפָ֣ה שָׁקַף VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.looked.down|Ref=2SA_6:16!10|MId=o100060160101|Strong=8259|Frame=A0:100060160072;|Type=qatal 13 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 12 punct _ Ref=2SA_6:16!10 14 בְּעַ֣ד בַּעַד ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=through|Ref=2SA_6:16!11|MId=o100060160111|Strong=1157 15-16 הַחַלּ֗וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_6:16!12|MId=o100060160121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 חַלּ֗וֹן חַלּוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=window|Ref=2SA_6:16!12|MId=o100060160122|Strong=2474 17-18 וַתֵּ֨רֶא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:16!13|MId=o100060160131|Strong=2050b 18 תֵּ֨רֶא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.saw|Ref=2SA_6:16!13|MId=o100060160132|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:100060160072;A1:100060160171;100060160182;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_6:16!14|MId=o100060160141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_6:16!15|MId=o100060160151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מֶּ֤לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=king|Ref=2SA_6:16!15|MId=o100060160152|Strong=4428 22 דָּוִד֙ דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 21 appos _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_6:16!16|MId=o100060160161|Strong=1732 23 מְפַזֵּ֤ז פָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=leaping|Ref=2SA_6:16!17|MId=o100060160171|Strong=6339|Frame=A0:100060160152;|Type=participle_active 24-25 וּמְכַרְכֵּר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:16!18|MId=o100060160181|Strong=2050b 25 מְכַרְכֵּר֙ כָּרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PILPEL|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=dancing|Ref=2SA_6:16!18|MId=o100060160182|Strong=3769|Frame=A0:100060160152;|Type=participle_active 26-27 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2SA_6:16!19|MId=o100060160191|Strong=3807a 27 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_6:16!19|MId=o100060160192|Strong=6440 28 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_6:16!20|MId=o100060160201|Strong=3068 29-30 וַתִּ֥בֶז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:16!21|MId=o100060160211|Strong=2050b 30 תִּ֥בֶז בָּזָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.despised|Ref=2SA_6:16!21|MId=o100060160212|Strong=0959|Frame=A0:100060160072;|Type=wayyiqtol 31-32 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 ל לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=2SA_6:16!22|MId=o100060160221|Strong=3807a 32 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=2SA_6:16!22|MId=o100060160222|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 33-35 בְּלִבָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_6:16!23|MId=o100060160231|Strong=0871a 34 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=heart|Ref=2SA_6:16!23|MId=o100060160232|Strong=3820 35 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 34 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=2SA_6:16!23|MId=o100060160233|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=2SA_6:16!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
