1 Kings 18:6 מְלָכִים א

Who acts: beasts, Ahab, Obadiah · What happens: divide, pass, go · To what, where: land, one way, way

This is 1 Kings 18:6 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — beasts, Ahab, Obadiah — and what happens in the verse to land, one way, way, 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 22 chapters of 1 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַֽיְחַלְּק֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ לַֽעֲבָר־בָּ֑הּ אַחְאָ֞ב הָלַ֨ךְ בְּדֶ֤רֶךְ אֶחָד֙ לְבַדּ֔וֹ וְעֹֽבַדְיָ֛הוּ הָלַ֥ךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ־אֶחָ֖ד לְבַדּֽוֹ׃

So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

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.

Targum Jonathan

וּפְּלִיגוּ לְהוֹן יַת אַרְעָא לְמֶעְבַּר בָּהּ אַחְאָב אֲזַל בְּאוֹרְחָא חֲדָא בִּלְחוֹדוֹהִי וְעוֹבַדְיָהוּ אֲזַל בְּאוֹרְחָא חֲדָא בִּלְחוֹדוֹהִי:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

English, JPS 1917

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
