Psalms 56:1 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: Philistines · What happens: take · To what, where: Michtam, Gath

This is Psalms 56:1 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — Philistines — and what happens in the verse to Michtam, Gath, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum 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 150 chapters of Psalms on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

לַמְנַצֵּ֤חַ ׀ עַל־י֬וֹנַת אֵ֣לֶם רְ֭חֹקִים לְדָוִ֣ד מִכְתָּ֑ם בֶּֽאֱחֹ֨ז אֹת֖וֹ פְלִשְׁתִּ֣ים בְּגַֽת׃

For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.

The 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.

negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
אֱחֹז seized	infinitive construct · qal	פְלִשְׁתִּים [the] Philistines	וֹ him

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

The Targum

לְשַׁבָּחָא עַל כְּנִשְׁתָּא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל דִמְתִילָא לְיוֹנָה שָׁתוֹקָא בְּעִדָן דִי מִתְרַחֲקִין מִן קִרְוֵיהוֹן וְחָזְרִין וּמְשַׁבְּחִין לְמָרֵי עַלְמָא הֵיךְ דָוִד מַכִּיר וּשְׁלִים כַּד אֲחַדוּ יָתֵיהּ פְּלִשְׁתָּאֵי בְגַת:
