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 — Boaz, heart, Naomi — and what happens in the verse to end, feet, Naomi, 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. וַיֹּ֨אכַל בֹּ֤עַז וַיֵּשְׁתְּ֙ וַיִּיטַ֣ב לִבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֕א לִשְׁכַּ֖ב בִּקְצֵ֣ה הָעֲרֵמָ֑ה וַתָּבֹ֣א בַלָּ֔ט וַתְּגַ֥ל מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו וַתִּשְׁכָּֽב׃ [And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn; and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/RUT.57/) ## 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:51 # text = וַיֹּ֨אכַל בֹּ֤עַז וַיֵּשְׁתְּ֙ וַיִּיטַ֣ב לִבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֕א לִשְׁכַּ֖ב בִּקְצֵ֣ה הָעֲרֵמָ֑ה וַתָּבֹ֣א בַלָּ֔ט וַתְּגַ֥ל מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו וַתִּשְׁכָּֽב׃ # verse = RUT.3.7 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אכַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!1|MId=o080030070011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אכַל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.ate|Ref=RUT_3:7!1|MId=o080030070012|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:080030070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בֹּ֤עַז בֹּעַז PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Boaz|Ref=RUT_3:7!2|MId=o080030070021|Strong=1162 4-5 וַיֵּשְׁתְּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!3|MId=o080030070031|Strong=2050b 5 יֵּשְׁתְּ֙ שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.drank|Ref=RUT_3:7!3|MId=o080030070032|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:080030070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 6-7 וַיִּיטַ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!4|MId=o080030070041|Strong=2050b 7 יִּיטַ֣ב יָטַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.good|Ref=RUT_3:7!4|MId=o080030070042|Strong=3190|Frame=A0:080030070051;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 לִבּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=RUT_3:7!5|MId=o080030070051|Strong=3820 9 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=RUT_3:7!5|MId=o080030070052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-11 וַיָּבֹ֕א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!6|MId=o080030070061|Strong=2050b 11 יָּבֹ֕א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=RUT_3:7!6|MId=o080030070062|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:080030070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 לִשְׁכַּ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=RUT_3:7!7|MId=o080030070071|Strong=3807a 13 שְׁכַּ֖ב שָׁכַב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=lie.down|Ref=RUT_3:7!7|MId=o080030070072|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:080030070021;|Type=infinitive_construct 14-15 בִּקְצֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=RUT_3:7!8|MId=o080030070081|Strong=0871a 15 קְצֵ֣ה קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=RUT_3:7!8|MId=o080030070082|Strong=7097 16-17 הָעֲרֵמָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=RUT_3:7!9|MId=o080030070091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 עֲרֵמָ֑ה עֲרֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.heap|Ref=RUT_3:7!9|MId=o080030070092|Strong=6194 18-19 וַתָּבֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!10|MId=o080030070101|Strong=2050b 19 תָּבֹ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.came|Ref=RUT_3:7!10|MId=o080030070102|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:080020220041;|Type=wayyiqtol 20-22 בַלָּ֔ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=RUT_3:7!11|MId=o080030070111|Strong=0871a 21 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=RUT_3:7!11|MId=o080030070111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 לָּ֔ט לָט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=secrecy|Ref=RUT_3:7!11|MId=o080030070112|Strong=3909 23-24 וַתְּגַ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!12|MId=o080030070121|Strong=2050b 24 תְּגַ֥ל גָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.uncovered|Ref=RUT_3:7!12|MId=o080030070122|Strong=1540|Frame=A0:080020220041;A1:080030070131;|Type=wayyiqtol 25-26 מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מַרְגְּלֹתָ֖י מַרְגְּלֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 24 obj _ Gloss=feet|Ref=RUT_3:7!13|MId=o080030070131|Strong=4772 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=RUT_3:7!13|MId=o080030070132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27-28 וַתִּשְׁכָּֽב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=RUT_3:7!14|MId=o080030070141|Strong=2050b 28 תִּשְׁכָּֽב שָׁכַב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.lay.down|Ref=RUT_3:7!14|MId=o080030070142|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:080020220041;|Type=wayyiqtol 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=RUT_3:7!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
