1 Samuel 7:8 שְׁמוּאֵל א

Who acts: children, Israel · What happens: say, not cease, cry, save · To what, where: Samuel, us, hand · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is 1 Samuel 7:8 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 — children, Israel — and what happens in the verse to Samuel, us, hand, 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.

וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל אַל־תַּחֲרֵ֣שׁ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ מִזְּעֹ֖ק אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְיֹשִׁעֵ֖נוּ מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

And the children of Israel said to Samuel: 'Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that He save us out of the hand 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.

Targum Jonathan

וַאֲמַרוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִשְׁמוּאֵל לָא תַשְׁתִּיק מִנָנָא מִלְצַלָאָה קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָנָא וִיִפְרְקִנָנָא מִידָא דִפְלִשְׁתָּאֵי:
