1 Samuel 16:15 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: servants, evil spirit · What happens: say, terrify · To what, where: Saul, thee · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 16:15 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 — servants, evil spirit — and what happens in the verse to Saul, thee, 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 31 chapters of 1 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ עַבְדֵֽי־שָׁא֖וּל אֵלָ֑יו הִנֵּה־נָ֧א רֽוּחַ־אֱלֹהִ֛ים רָעָ֖ה מְבַעִתֶּֽךָ׃

And Saul's servants said unto him: 'Behold now, an evil spirit from God terrifieth thee.

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.

וַאֲמַרוּ עַבְדֵי שָׁאוּל לֵיהּ הָא כְעַן רוּחַ בִּישָׁא מִן קֳדָם יְיָ מְבַעֲתָא לָךְ:

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