1 Kings 20:35 מְלָכִים א

Who acts: certain man, I, man · What happens: say, smite, pray, refuse, not smite, word · To what, where: me, thee, man, LORD · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Kings 20:35 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 — certain man, I, man — and what happens in the verse to me, thee, man, 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 22 chapters of 1 Kings on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וְאִ֨ישׁ אֶחָ֜ד מִבְּנֵ֣י הַנְּבִיאִ֗ים אָמַ֧ר אֶל־רֵעֵ֛הוּ בִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה הַכֵּ֣ינִי נָ֑א וַיְמָאֵ֥ן הָאִ֖ישׁ לְהַכֹּתֽוֹ׃

And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of the LORD: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man refused to smite him.

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

וְגַבְרָא חַד מִבְּנֵי תַּלְמִידֵי נְבִיַיָא אֲמַר לְחַבְרֵיהּ בְפִתְגָמָא דַייָ מְחֵינִי כְעַן וְלָא אֲבָא גַבְרָא לְמִימְחֵיהּ:
