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, word — and what happens in the verse to LORD, 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. וַיְהִ֖י בַּלַּ֣יְלָה הַה֑וּא וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־נָתָ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃ [And it came to pass the same night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/2SA.181/) ## 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:161 # text = וַיְהִ֖י בַּלַּ֣יְלָה הַה֑וּא וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־נָתָ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = 2SA.7.4 1-2 וַיְהִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_7:4!1|MId=o100070040011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֖י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=2SA_7:4!1|MId=o100070040012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 בַּלַּ֣יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=2SA_7:4!2|MId=o100070040021|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=2SA_7:4!2|MId=o100070040021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 לַּ֣יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=night|Ref=2SA_7:4!2|MId=o100070040022|Strong=3915 6-7 הַה֑וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=2SA_7:4!3|MId=o100070040031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 ה֑וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=2SA_7:4!3|MId=o100070040032|Strong=1931|Type=personal 8-9 וַֽיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2SA_7:4!4|MId=o100070040041|Strong=2050b 9 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=2SA_7:4!4|MId=o100070040042|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:100070040051;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=2SA_7:4!5|MId=o100070040051|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 11 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=2SA_7:4!6|MId=o100070040061|Strong=3068 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2SA_7:4!7|MId=o100070040071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 נָתָ֖ן נָתָן PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Nathan|Ref=2SA_7:4!8|MId=o100070040081|Strong=5416 14-15 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 9 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=2SA_7:4!9|MId=o100070040091|Strong=3807a 15 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 14 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=2SA_7:4!9|MId=o100070040092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:100070040051;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=2SA_7:4!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: a frame; the quote follows - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהִי *it came* | wayyiqtol · qal | דְּבַר־ *the word* | | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | דְּבַר־ *the word* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
