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 — it, 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 14 chapters of Zechariah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּשְׁנַ֣ת אַרְבַּ֔ע לְדָרְיָ֖וֶשׁ הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ הָיָ֨ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־זְכַרְיָ֗ה בְּאַרְבָּעָ֛ה לַחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַתְּשִׁעִ֖י בְּכִסְלֵֽו׃ [And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.86/) ## 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:ZEC:84 # text = וַֽיְהִי֙ בִּשְׁנַ֣ת אַרְבַּ֔ע לְדָרְיָ֖וֶשׁ הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ הָיָ֨ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־זְכַרְיָ֗ה בְּאַרְבָּעָ֛ה לַחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַתְּשִׁעִ֖י בְּכִסְלֵֽו׃ # verse = ZEC.7.1 1-2 וַֽיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ZEC_7:1!1|MId=o380070010011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=ZEC_7:1!1|MId=o380070010012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בִּשְׁנַ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEC_7:1!2|MId=o380070010021|Strong=0871a 4 שְׁנַ֣ת שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=year|Ref=ZEC_7:1!2|MId=o380070010022|Strong=8141 5 אַרְבַּ֔ע אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=four|Ref=ZEC_7:1!3|MId=o380070010031|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 6-7 לְדָרְיָ֖וֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=ZEC_7:1!4|MId=o380070010041|Strong=3807a 7 דָרְיָ֖וֶשׁ דָּרְיָוֶשׁ PROPN _ _ 4 nmod _ Gloss=Darius|Ref=ZEC_7:1!4|MId=o380070010042|Strong=1867 8-9 הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_7:1!5|MId=o380070010051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מֶּ֑לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=king|Ref=ZEC_7:1!5|MId=o380070010052|Strong=4428 10 הָיָ֨ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=ZEC_7:1!6|MId=o380070010061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:380070010071;|Type=qatal 11 דְבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=ZEC_7:1!7|MId=o380070010071|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 12 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=ZEC_7:1!8|MId=o380070010081|Strong=3068 13 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ZEC_7:1!9|MId=o380070010091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14 זְכַרְיָ֗ה זְכַרְיָה PROPN _ _ 2 parataxis _ Gloss=Zechariah|Ref=ZEC_7:1!10|MId=o380070010101|Strong=2148 15-16 בְּאַרְבָּעָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on.[day]|Ref=ZEC_7:1!11|MId=o380070010111|Strong=0871a 16 אַרְבָּעָ֛ה אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=four|Ref=ZEC_7:1!11|MId=o380070010112|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 17-19 לַחֹ֥דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=ZEC_7:1!12|MId=o380070010121|Strong=3807a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=ZEC_7:1!12|MId=o380070010121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 חֹ֥דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nmod _ Gloss=month|Ref=ZEC_7:1!12|MId=o380070010122|Strong=2320 20-21 הַתְּשִׁעִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=ZEC_7:1!13|MId=o380070010131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 תְּשִׁעִ֖י תְּשִׁיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nummod _ Gloss=ninth|Ref=ZEC_7:1!13|MId=o380070010132|Strong=8671|Type=ordinal_number 22-23 בְּכִסְלֵֽו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=ZEC_7:1!14|MId=o380070010141|Strong=0871a 23 כִסְלֵֽו כִּסְלֵו PROPN _ _ 16 nmod _ Gloss=Kislev|Ref=ZEC_7:1!14|MId=o380070010142|Strong=3691 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=ZEC_7:1!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it came* | qatal · qal | דְבַר־ *the word* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
