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 — you, servant, Thou, house, Thy — and what happens in the verse to servant, Thee, house, blessing, 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. וְעַתָּ֗ה הוֹאֵל֙ וּבָרֵךְ֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית עַבְדְּךָ֔ לִהְי֥וֹת לְעוֹלָ֖ם לְפָנֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ דִּבַּ֔רְתָּ וּמִבִּרְכָ֣תְךָ֔ יְבֹרַ֥ךְ בֵּֽית־עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְעוֹלָֽם׃פ [now therefore let it please Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee; for Thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it; and through Thy blessing let the house of Thy servant be blessed for ever.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.207/) ## 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:186 # text = וְעַתָּ֗ה הוֹאֵל֙ וּבָרֵךְ֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית עַבְדְּךָ֔ לִהְי֥וֹת לְעוֹלָ֖ם לְפָנֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ דִּבַּ֔רְתָּ וּמִבִּרְכָ֣תְךָ֔ יְבֹרַ֥ךְ בֵּֽית־עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְעוֹלָֽם׃פ # verse = 2SA.7.29 1-2 וְעַתָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_7:29!1|MId=o100070290011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=2SA_7:29!1|MId=o100070290012|Strong=6258 3 הוֹאֵל֙ יָאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=be.willing|Ref=2SA_7:29!2|MId=o100070290021|Strong=2974|Frame=A0:100070280021;|Type=imperative 4-5 וּבָרֵךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_7:29!3|MId=o100070290031|Strong=2050b 5 בָרֵךְ֙ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=bless|Ref=2SA_7:29!3|MId=o100070290032|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:100070280021;A1:100070290051;|Type=imperative 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=2SA_7:29!4|MId=o100070290041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_7:29!5|MId=o100070290051|Strong=1004 8-9 עַבְדְּךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.servant|Ref=2SA_7:29!6|MId=o100070290061|Strong=5650 9 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_7:29!6|MId=o100070290062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 לִהְי֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_7:29!7|MId=o100070290071|Strong=3807a 11 הְי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 cop _ Gloss=be|Ref=2SA_7:29!7|MId=o100070290072|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:100070290051;|Type=infinitive_construct 12-13 לְעוֹלָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=forever|Ref=2SA_7:29!8|MId=o100070290081|Strong=3807a 13 עוֹלָ֖ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=2SA_7:29!8|MId=o100070290082|Strong=5769 14-16 לְפָנֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2SA_7:29!9|MId=o100070290091|Strong=3807a 15 פָנֶ֑י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_7:29!9|MId=o100070290092|Strong=6440 16 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_7:29!9|MId=o100070290093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2SA_7:29!10|MId=o100070290101|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 18 אַתָּ֞ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=2SA_7:29!11|MId=o100070290111|Strong=0859|Type=personal 19-20 אֲדֹנָ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 dislocated _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=2SA_7:29!12|MId=o100070290121|Strong=0136 20 ָ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2SA_7:29!12|MId=o100070290122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 יְהוִה֙ יְהֹוִה PROPN _ _ 19 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2SA_7:29!13|MId=o100070290131|Strong=3069 22 דִּבַּ֔רְתָּ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 advcl _ Gloss=you.have.spoken|Ref=2SA_7:29!14|MId=o100070290141|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:100070290111;|Type=qatal 23-26 וּמִבִּרְכָ֣תְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_7:29!15|MId=o100070290151|Strong=2050b 24 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=2SA_7:29!15|MId=o100070290152|Strong=4480 25 בִּרְכָ֣ת בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=blessing|Ref=2SA_7:29!15|MId=o100070290153|Strong=1293 26 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_7:29!15|MId=o100070290154|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 יְבֹרַ֥ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be.blessed|Ref=2SA_7:29!16|MId=o100070290161|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:100070290171;|Type=yiqtol 28 בֵּֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=2SA_7:29!17|MId=o100070290171|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 עַבְדְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.servant|Ref=2SA_7:29!18|MId=o100070290181|Strong=5650 30 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=2SA_7:29!18|MId=o100070290182|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 31-32 לְעוֹלָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=forever|Ref=2SA_7:29!19|MId=o100070290191|Strong=3807a 32 עוֹלָֽם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=2SA_7:29!19|MId=o100070290192|Strong=5769 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=2SA_7:29!19|SpaceAfter=No 34 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=2SA_7:29!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
