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 — tidings, Nineveh — and what happens in the verse to king, throne, robe, Nineveh, ashes, 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 4 chapters of Jonah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיִּגַּ֤ע הַדָּבָר֙ אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךנִֽינְוֵ֔ה וַיָּ֙קָם֙ מִכִּסְא֔וֹ וַיַּעֲבֵ֥ר אַדַּרְתּ֖וֹ מֵֽעָלָ֑יו וַיְכַ֣ס שַׂ֔ק וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב עַל־הָאֵֽפֶר׃ [And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JON.35/) ## 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:JON:32 # text = וַיִּגַּ֤ע הַדָּבָר֙ אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךנִֽינְוֵ֔ה וַיָּ֙קָם֙ מִכִּסְא֔וֹ וַיַּעֲבֵ֥ר אַדַּרְתּ֖וֹ מֵֽעָלָ֑יו וַיְכַ֣ס שַׂ֔ק וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב עַל־הָאֵֽפֶר׃ # verse = JON.3.6 1-2 וַיִּגַּ֤ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JON_3:6!1|MId=o320030060011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּגַּ֤ע נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.reached|Ref=JON_3:6!1|MId=o320030060012|Strong=5060|Frame=A0:320030060022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַדָּבָר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JON_3:6!2|MId=o320030060021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 דָּבָר֙ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=word|Ref=JON_3:6!2|MId=o320030060022|Strong=1697 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JON_3:6!3|MId=o320030060031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 מֶ֣לֶךנִֽינְוֵ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֶ֣לֶך מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=JON_3:6!4|MId=o320030060041|Strong=4428 7 נִֽינְוֵ֔ה נִינְוֵה PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Nineveh|Ref=JON_3:6!5|MId=o320030060051|Strong=5210 8-9 וַיָּ֙קָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JON_3:6!6|MId=o320030060061|Strong=2050b 9 יָּ֙קָם֙ קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.arose|Ref=JON_3:6!6|MId=o320030060062|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:320030060041;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-12 מִכִּסְא֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JON_3:6!7|MId=o320030060071|Strong=4480 11 כִּסְא כִּסֵּא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=throne|Ref=JON_3:6!7|MId=o320030060072|Strong=3678 12 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JON_3:6!7|MId=o320030060073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וַיַּעֲבֵ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JON_3:6!8|MId=o320030060081|Strong=2050b 14 יַּעֲבֵ֥ר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took.off|Ref=JON_3:6!8|MId=o320030060082|Strong=5674|Frame=AA:320030060041;A0:320030060091;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 אַדַּרְתּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אַדַּרְתּ אַדֶּרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=cloak|Ref=JON_3:6!9|MId=o320030060091|Strong=0155 16 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JON_3:6!9|MId=o320030060092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-19 מֵֽעָלָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JON_3:6!10|MId=o320030060101|Strong=4480 18 עָלָ֑י עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JON_3:6!10|MId=o320030060102|Strong=5921 19 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JON_3:6!10|MId=o320030060103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-21 וַיְכַ֣ס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JON_3:6!11|MId=o320030060111|Strong=2050b 21 יְכַ֣ס כָּסָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.covered|Ref=JON_3:6!11|MId=o320030060112|Strong=3680|Frame=A0:320030060041;A1:320030060121;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 שַׂ֔ק שַׂק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=sackcloth|Ref=JON_3:6!12|MId=o320030060121|Strong=8242 23-24 וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JON_3:6!13|MId=o320030060131|Strong=2050b 24 יֵּ֖שֶׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.sat|Ref=JON_3:6!13|MId=o320030060132|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:320030060041;|Type=wayyiqtol 25 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JON_3:6!14|MId=o320030060141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 הָאֵֽפֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JON_3:6!15|MId=o320030060151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 אֵֽפֶר אֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=ash[es]|Ref=JON_3:6!15|MId=o320030060152|Strong=0665 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JON_3:6!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּגַּע *it reached* | wayyiqtol · qal | דָּבָר *word* | | | | | יָּקָם *he arose* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶלֶך *the king* | | | | | יַּעֲבֵר *he took off* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | אַדַּרְתּ *cloak* | | | מֶלֶך *the king* | | יְכַס *he covered* | wayyiqtol · piel | מֶלֶך *the king* | שַׂק *sackcloth* | | | | יֵּשֶׁב *he sat* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶלֶך *the king* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
