1 Samuel 20:33 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: Saul, Jonathan, father · What happens: cast, smite, know, determine, put · To what, where: spear, Saul, David · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 20:33 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 — Saul, Jonathan, father — and what happens in the verse to spear, Saul, David, 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.

וַיָּ֨טֶל שָׁא֧וּל אֶֽת־הַחֲנִ֛ית עָלָ֖יו לְהַכֹּת֑וֹ וַיֵּ֙דַע֙ יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן כִּֽי־כָ֥לָה הִ֛יא מֵעִ֥ם אָבִ֖יו לְהָמִ֥ית אֶת־דָּוִֽד׃ס

And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.

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

וַאֲרֵים שָׁאוּל יַת מוּרְנִיתָא עֲלוֹהִי לְמִמְחֵיהּ וִידַע יְהוֹנָתָן אֲרֵי גְמִירָא הוּא מִן אֲבוּהִי לְמִקְטַל יַת דָוִד:

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

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.

And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.
