2 Samuel 6:13 שְׁמוּאֵל ב

Who acts: oxen, LORD · What happens: be, bear, go, sacrifice · To what, where: ark, six paces, ox

This is 2 Samuel 6:13 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 — oxen, LORD — and what happens in the verse to ark, six paces, ox, 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 24 chapters of 2 Samuel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיְהִ֗י כִּ֧י צָעֲד֛וּ נֹשְׂאֵ֥י אֲרוֹן־יְהוָ֖ה שִׁשָּׁ֣ה צְעָדִ֑ים וַיִּזְבַּ֥ח שׁ֖וֹר וּמְרִֽיא׃

And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

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.

וַהֲוָה כַּד נְטָלוּ נַטְלֵי אֲרוֹנָא דַייָ שִׁיתָּא זוּגִין וּנְכֵיס תּוֹר וּפַּטִים:

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