1 Samuel 7:7 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: Philistines, lords, children · What happens: hear, gather, go up, be · To what, where: children, Mizpah, water · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 7:7 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 — Philistines, lords, children — and what happens in the verse to children, Mizpah, water, 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.

וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּֽי־הִתְקַבְּצ֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הַמִּצְפָּ֔תָה וַיַּעֲל֥וּ סַרְנֵֽי־פְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים אֶל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּֽרְא֖וּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

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

וּשְׁמָעוּ פְלִשְׁתָּאֵי אֲרֵי אִתְכְּנִישׁוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמִצְפַּיָא וּסְלִיקוּ טוּרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתָּאֵי עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וּשְׁמָעוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּדְחִילוּ מִן קֳדָם פְלִשְׁתָּאֵי:

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. And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel.
2. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
