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 — God, tribes — and what happens in the verse to nations, people, tribes, tents, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum 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 150 chapters of Psalms on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיְגָ֤רֶשׁ מִפְּנֵיהֶ֨ם ׀ גּוֹיִ֗ם וַֽ֭יַּפִּילֵם בְּחֶ֣בֶל נַחֲלָ֑ה וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֥ן בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [He drove out the nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1382/) ## The tree {#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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:PSA:1282 # text = וַיְגָ֤רֶשׁ מִפְּנֵיהֶ֨ם ׀ גּוֹיִ֗ם וַֽ֭יַּפִּילֵם בְּחֶ֣בֶל נַחֲלָ֑ה וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֥ן בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = PSA.78.55 1-2 וַיְגָ֤רֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_78:55!1|MId=o190780550011|Strong=2050b 2 יְגָ֤רֶשׁ גָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.drove.out|Ref=PSA_78:55!1|MId=o190780550012|Strong=1644|Frame=A0:190780410042;A1:190780550031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 מִפְּנֵיהֶ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=PSA_78:55!2|MId=o190780550021|Strong=4480 4 פְּנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=PSA_78:55!2|MId=o190780550022|Strong=6440 5 הֶ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=PSA_78:55!2|MId=o190780550023|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 5 punct _ Ref=PSA_78:55!2 7 גּוֹיִ֗ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=nations|Ref=PSA_78:55!3|MId=o190780550031|Strong=1471 8-10 וַֽ֭יַּפִּילֵם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַֽ֭ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_78:55!4|MId=o190780550041|Strong=2050b 9 יַּפִּיל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_78:55!4|MId=o190780550042|Strong=5307|Frame=AA:190780410042;A0:190780550043;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 ֵם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=made.fall.them|Ref=PSA_78:55!4|MId=o190780550043|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 בְּחֶ֣בֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=PSA_78:55!5|MId=o190780550051|Strong=0871a 12 חֶ֣בֶל חֶבֶל NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=a.measuring-line|Ref=PSA_78:55!5|MId=o190780550052|Strong=2256 13 נַחֲלָ֑ה נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=an.inheritance|Ref=PSA_78:55!6|MId=o190780550061|Strong=5159 14-15 וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_78:55!7|MId=o190780550071|Strong=2050b 15 יַּשְׁכֵּ֥ן שָׁכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.caused.to.dwell|Ref=PSA_78:55!7|MId=o190780550072|Strong=7931|Frame=AA:190780410042;A0:190780550091;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-18 בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ֝ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_78:55!8|MId=o190780550081|Strong=0871a 17 אָהֳלֵי אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=tents|Ref=PSA_78:55!8|MId=o190780550082|Strong=0168 18 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_78:55!8|MId=o190780550083|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19 שִׁבְטֵ֥י שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=the.tribes|Ref=PSA_78:55!9|MId=o190780550091|Strong=7626 20 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=PSA_78:55!10|MId=o190780550101|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=PSA_78:55!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְגָרֶשׁ *he drove out* | wayyiqtol · piel | | גּוֹיִם *nations* | | | | יַּפִּיל *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵם *made fall them* | | | | | יַּשְׁכֵּן *he caused to dwell* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | שִׁבְטֵי *the tribes* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
