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 — Ruth, me, I, Naomi — and what happens in the verse to me, field, favour, sight, 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 4 chapters of Ruth on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַתֹּאמֶר֩ ר֨וּת הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֜ה אֶֽל־נָעֳמִ֗י אֵֽלְכָה־נָּ֤א הַשָּׂדֶה֙ וַאֲלַקֳטָּ֣הבַשִׁבֳּלִ֔יםאַחַ֕ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֶמְצָא־חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינָ֑יו וַתֹּ֥אמֶר לָ֖הּ לְכִ֥י בִתִּֽי׃ [And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi: 'Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find favour.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:RUT:23 # text = וַתֹּאמֶר֩ ר֨וּת הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֜ה אֶֽל־נָעֳמִ֗י אֵֽלְכָה־נָּ֤א הַשָּׂדֶה֙ וַאֲלַקֳטָּ֣הבַשִׁבֳּלִ֔יםאַחַ֕ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֶמְצָא־חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינָ֑יו וַתֹּ֥אמֶר לָ֖הּ לְכִ֥י בִתִּֽי׃ # verse = RUT.2.2 1-2 וַתֹּאמֶר֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:2!1|MId=o080020020011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּאמֶר֩ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=RUT_2:2!1|MId=o080020020012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080020020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ר֨וּת רוּת PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Ruth|Ref=RUT_2:2!2|MId=o080020020021|Strong=7327 4-5 הַמּוֹאֲבִיָּ֜ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the.Moabite|Ref=RUT_2:2!3|MId=o080020020031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מּוֹאֲבִיָּ֜ה מוֹאָבִי NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=[woman]|Ref=RUT_2:2!3|MId=o080020020032|Strong=4125|Type=gentilic 6 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_2:2!4|MId=o080020020041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7 נָעֳמִ֗י נׇעֳמִי PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Naomi|Ref=RUT_2:2!5|MId=o080020020051|Strong=5281 8 אֵֽלְכָה־ הלך VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.me.go|Ref=RUT_2:2!6|MId=o080020020061|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:080020020021;|Type=cohortative|SpaceAfter=No 9 נָּ֤א נָא INTJ _ _ 8 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=RUT_2:2!7|MId=o080020020071|Strong=4994|Type=interjection 10-11 הַשָּׂדֶה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=RUT_2:2!8|MId=o080020020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 שָּׂדֶה֙ שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=field|Ref=RUT_2:2!8|MId=o080020020082|Strong=7704 12-17 וַאֲלַקֳטָּ֣הבַשִׁבֳּלִ֔יםאַחַ֕ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=RUT_2:2!9|MId=o080020020091|Strong=2050b 13 אֲלַקֳטָּ֣ה לָקַט VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.glean|Ref=RUT_2:2!9|MId=o080020020092|Strong=3950|Frame=A0:080020020021;|Type=cohortative 14 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=RUT_2:2!10|MId=o080020020101|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the.ears|Ref=RUT_2:2!10|MId=o080020020101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שִׁבֳּלִ֔ים שִׁבֹּלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=of.grain|Ref=RUT_2:2!10|MId=o080020020102|Strong=7641 17 אַחַ֕ר אַחַר ADV _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=behind|Ref=RUT_2:2!11|MId=o080020020111|Strong=0310 18 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=[the.one].whom|Ref=RUT_2:2!12|MId=o080020020121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19 אֶמְצָא־ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.will.find|Ref=RUT_2:2!13|MId=o080020020131|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:080020020021;A1:080020020141;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 20 חֵ֖ן חֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=favor|Ref=RUT_2:2!14|MId=o080020020141|Strong=2580 21-23 בְּעֵינָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=RUT_2:2!15|MId=o080020020151|Strong=0871a 22 עֵינָ֑י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 19 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=RUT_2:2!15|MId=o080020020152|Strong=5869 23 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=RUT_2:2!15|MId=o080020020153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 וַתֹּ֥אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_2:2!16|MId=o080020020161|Strong=2050b 25 תֹּ֥אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=RUT_2:2!16|MId=o080020020162|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080020020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 לָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_2:2!17|MId=o080020020171|Strong=3807a 27 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=RUT_2:2!17|MId=o080020020172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 28 לְכִ֥י הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 25 ccomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=RUT_2:2!18|MId=o080020020181|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:080020020191;|Type=imperative 29-30 בִתִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בִתּ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 parataxis _ Gloss=my.daughter|Ref=RUT_2:2!19|MId=o080020020191|Strong=1323 30 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=RUT_2:2!19|MId=o080020020192|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=RUT_2:2!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
