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 — and what happens in the verse to instruments, 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. וְדָוִ֣ד ׀ וְכָל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מְשַֽׂחֲקִים֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה בְּכֹ֖ל עֲצֵ֣י בְרוֹשִׁ֑ים וּבְכִנֹּר֤וֹת וּבִנְבָלִים֙ וּבְתֻפִּ֔ים וּבִמְנַֽעַנְעִ֖ים וּֽבְצֶלְצֶלִֽים׃ [And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all manner of instruments made of cypress-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with sistra, and with cymbals.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.157/) ## 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:139 # text = וְדָוִ֣ד ׀ וְכָל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מְשַֽׂחֲקִים֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה בְּכֹ֖ל עֲצֵ֣י בְרוֹשִׁ֑ים וּבְכִנֹּר֤וֹת וּבִנְבָלִים֙ וּבְתֻפִּ֔ים וּבִמְנַֽעַנְעִ֖ים וּֽבְצֶלְצֶלִֽים׃ # verse = 2SA.6.5 1-2 וְדָוִ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!1|MId=o100060050011|Strong=2050b 2 דָוִ֣ד דָּוִד PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=David|Ref=2SA_6:5!1|MId=o100060050012|Strong=1732 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=2SA_6:5!1 4-5 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!2|MId=o100060050021|Strong=2050b 5 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=2SA_6:5!2|MId=o100060050022|Strong=3605 6 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_6:5!3|MId=o100060050031|Strong=1004 7 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=2SA_6:5!4|MId=o100060050041|Strong=3478 8 מְשַֽׂחֲקִים֙ שָׂחַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[were].playing|Ref=2SA_6:5!5|MId=o100060050051|Strong=7832|Frame=A0:100060050012;100060050031;|Type=participle_active 9-10 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2SA_6:5!6|MId=o100060050061|Strong=3807a 10 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_6:5!6|MId=o100060050062|Strong=6440 11 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_6:5!7|MId=o100060050071|Strong=3068 12-13 בְּכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_6:5!8|MId=o100060050081|Strong=0871a 13 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=2SA_6:5!8|MId=o100060050082|Strong=3605 14 עֲצֵ֣י עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=wood(s)|Ref=2SA_6:5!9|MId=o100060050091|Strong=6086 15 בְרוֹשִׁ֑ים בְּרוֹשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fir.trees|Ref=2SA_6:5!10|MId=o100060050101|Strong=1265 16-18 וּבְכִנֹּר֤וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!11|MId=o100060050111|Strong=2050b 17 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_6:5!11|MId=o100060050112|Strong=0871a 18 כִנֹּר֤וֹת כִּנּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=harps|Ref=2SA_6:5!11|MId=o100060050113|Strong=3658 19-21 וּבִנְבָלִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!12|MId=o100060050121|Strong=2050b 20 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_6:5!12|MId=o100060050122|Strong=0871a 21 נְבָלִים֙ נֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=lyres|Ref=2SA_6:5!12|MId=o100060050123|Strong=5035a 22-24 וּבְתֻפִּ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!13|MId=o100060050131|Strong=2050b 23 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_6:5!13|MId=o100060050132|Strong=0871a 24 תֻפִּ֔ים תֹּף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=tambourines|Ref=2SA_6:5!13|MId=o100060050133|Strong=8596 25-27 וּבִמְנַֽעַנְעִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!14|MId=o100060050141|Strong=2050b 26 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_6:5!14|MId=o100060050142|Strong=0871a 27 מְנַֽעַנְעִ֖ים מְנַעַנְעִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=rattles|Ref=2SA_6:5!14|MId=o100060050143|Strong=4517 28-30 וּֽבְצֶלְצֶלִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_6:5!15|MId=o100060050151|Strong=2050b 29 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=2SA_6:5!15|MId=o100060050152|Strong=0871a 30 צֶלְצֶלִֽים צֶלְצְלִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=cymbals|Ref=2SA_6:5!15|MId=o100060050153|Strong=6767c 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=2SA_6:5!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מְשַֽׂחֲקִים *\[were\] playing* | participle active · piel | דָוִד *David* + בֵּית *the house* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
