Ruth 3:1 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, the Targum, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/RUT.3.1/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Ruth](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/RUT/) / [chapter 3](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/RUT/3/) / 3:1 # Ruth 3:1 רוּת **Who acts:** Naomi, I, rest · **What happens:** say, not seek, be · **To what, where:** rest · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Ruth 3:1 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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 — Naomi, I, rest — and what happens in the verse to rest, 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. וַתֹּ֥אמֶר לָ֖הּ נָעֳמִ֣י חֲמוֹתָ֑הּ בִּתִּ֞י הֲלֹ֧א אֲבַקֶּשׁ־לָ֛ךְ מָנ֖וֹחַ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽיטַב־לָֽךְ׃ [And Naomi her mother-in-law said unto her: 'My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.50/) ## 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:RUT:45 # text = וַתֹּ֥אמֶר לָ֖הּ נָעֳמִ֣י חֲמוֹתָ֑הּ בִּתִּ֞י הֲלֹ֧א אֲבַקֶּשׁ־לָ֛ךְ מָנ֖וֹחַ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽיטַב־לָֽךְ׃ # verse = RUT.3.1 1-2 וַתֹּ֥אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:1!1|MId=o080030010011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֥אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=RUT_3:1!1|MId=o080030010012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:080030010031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_3:1!2|MId=o080030010021|Strong=3807a 4 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=RUT_3:1!2|MId=o080030010022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5 נָעֳמִ֣י נׇעֳמִי PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Naomi|Ref=RUT_3:1!3|MId=o080030010031|Strong=5281 6-7 חֲמוֹתָ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 חֲמוֹת חֲמוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=mother-in-law|Ref=RUT_3:1!4|MId=o080030010041|Strong=2545 7 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=RUT_3:1!4|MId=o080030010042|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 8-9 בִּתִּ֞י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בִּתּ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 dislocated _ Gloss=my.daughter|Ref=RUT_3:1!5|MId=o080030010051|Strong=1323 9 ִ֞י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=RUT_3:1!5|MId=o080030010052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-11 הֲלֹ֧א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=RUT_3:1!6|MId=o080030010061|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 11 לֹ֧א לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=RUT_3:1!6|MId=o080030010062|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 אֲבַקֶּשׁ־ בָּקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=will.I.seek|Ref=RUT_3:1!7|MId=o080030010071|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:080030010031;A1:080030010091;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 לָ֛ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=RUT_3:1!8|MId=o080030010081|Strong=3807a 14 ָ֛ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=RUT_3:1!8|MId=o080030010082|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 15 מָנ֖וֹחַ מָנוֹחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=a.resting.place|Ref=RUT_3:1!9|MId=o080030010091|Strong=4494 16 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=RUT_3:1!10|MId=o080030010101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 יִֽיטַב־ יָטַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.will.go.well|Ref=RUT_3:1!11|MId=o080030010111|Strong=3190|Frame=A0:080030010091;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 לָֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=RUT_3:1!12|MId=o080030010121|Strong=3807a 19 ָֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=RUT_3:1!12|MId=o080030010122|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=RUT_3:1!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | נָעֳמִי *Naomi* | | | | | **not** אֲבַקֶּשׁ־ *will I seek* | yiqtol · piel | נָעֳמִי *Naomi* | מָנוֹחַ *a resting place* | | | | יִֽיטַב־ *it will go well* | yiqtol · qal | מָנוֹחַ *a resting place* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
