1 Samuel 2:8 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: LORD, poor, pillars · What happens: raise up, lift up, make, sit, inherit, be · To what, where: poor, dust, needy, dung hill, throne, world

This is 1 Samuel 2:8 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 — LORD, poor, pillars — and what happens in the verse to poor, dust, needy, dung hill, throne, world, 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.

מֵקִ֨ים מֵעָפָ֜ר דָּ֗ל מֵֽאַשְׁפֹּת֙ יָרִ֣ים אֶבְי֔וֹן לְהוֹשִׁיב֙ עִם־נְדִיבִ֔ים וְכִסֵּ֥א כָב֖וֹד יַנְחִלֵ֑ם כִּ֤י לַֽיהוָה֙ מְצֻ֣קֵי אֶ֔רֶץ וַיָּ֥שֶׁת עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם תֵּבֵֽל׃

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dung-hill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and He hath set the world upon them.

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.

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.

Targum Jonathan

מֵקִים מֵעַפְרָא מִסְכֵּינָא מִקִלְקַלְתָּא מֵרִים חֲשִׁיכָא לְאוֹתָבוּתְהוֹן עִם צַדִיקַיָא רַבְרְבֵי עַלְמָא וְכוּרְסֵי יְקָרָא מַחֲסִין לְהוֹן אֲרֵי קֳדָם יְיָ גְלָן עוֹבָדֵי בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא מִלְרַע אַתְקֵין גֵהִנָם לְרַשִׁיעַיָא עָבְרֵי עַל מֵימְרֵיהּ וְצַדִיקַיָא עַבְדֵי רְעוּתֵיהּ שַׁכְלֵיל לְהוֹן תֵּבֵל:

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.

1. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dung-hill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and He hath set the world upon them.
