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 — Adoni, Canaanites — and what happens in the verse to Adoni, thumbs, 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 21 chapters of Judges on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיָּ֙נָס֙ אֲדֹ֣נִי בֶ֔זֶק אֲדֹ֣נִי בֶ֔זֶק וַֽיִּרְדְּפ֖וּ אַחֲרָ֑יו וַיֹּאחֲז֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ וַֽיְקַצְּצ֔וּ אֶת־בְּהֹנ֥וֹת יָדָ֖יו וְרַגְלָֽיו׃ [But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.5/) ## 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:JDG:5 # text = וַיָּ֙נָס֙ אֲדֹ֣נִי בֶ֔זֶק אֲדֹ֣נִי בֶ֔זֶק וַֽיִּרְדְּפ֖וּ אַחֲרָ֑יו וַיֹּאחֲז֣וּ אֹת֔וֹ וַֽיְקַצְּצ֔וּ אֶת־בְּהֹנ֥וֹת יָדָ֖יו וְרַגְלָֽיו׃ # verse = JDG.1.6 1-2 וַיָּ֙נָס֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_1:6!1|MId=o070010060011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּ֙נָס֙ נוּס VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.fled|Ref=JDG_1:6!1|MId=o070010060012|Strong=5127|Frame=A0:070010060021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֲדֹ֣נִי אֲדֹנִי PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Adoni-Bezek|Ref=JDG_1:6!2|MId=o070010060021 4 בֶ֔זֶק בֶזֶק PROPN _ _ 3 flat:name _ Ref=JDG_1:6!2 5 אֲדֹ֣נִי אֲדֹנִיבֶזֶק PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Adoni-Bezek|Ref=JDG_1:6!3|MId=o070010060031 6 בֶ֔זֶק _ PROPN _ _ 5 flat:name _ Ref=JDG_1:6!3 7-8 וַֽיִּרְדְּפ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_1:6!4|MId=o070010060041|Strong=2050b 8 יִּרְדְּפ֖וּ רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.pursued|Ref=JDG_1:6!4|MId=o070010060042|Strong=7291|Frame=A0:070010040021;070010030171;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 אַחֲרָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אַחֲרָ֑י אַחַר ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JDG_1:6!5|MId=o070010060051|Strong=0310 10 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_1:6!5|MId=o070010060052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַיֹּאחֲז֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_1:6!6|MId=o070010060061|Strong=2050b 12 יֹּאחֲז֣וּ אָחַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.seized|Ref=JDG_1:6!6|MId=o070010060062|Strong=0270|Frame=A0:070010040021;070010030171;A1:070010060062;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 אֹת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_1:6!7|MId=o070010060071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_1:6!7|MId=o070010060072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַֽיְקַצְּצ֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_1:6!8|MId=o070010060081|Strong=2050b 16 יְקַצְּצ֔וּ קָצַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.cut.off|Ref=JDG_1:6!8|MId=o070010060082|Strong=7112|Frame=A0:070010040021;070010030171;A1:070010060091;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_1:6!9|MId=o070010060091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18 בְּהֹנ֥וֹת בְּהֹון NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 obj _ Gloss=the.thumbs|Ref=JDG_1:6!10|MId=o070010060101|Strong=0931 19-20 יָדָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יָדָ֖י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.hands|Ref=JDG_1:6!11|MId=o070010060111|Strong=3027 20 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_1:6!11|MId=o070010060112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-23 וְרַגְלָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_1:6!12|MId=o070010060121|Strong=2050b 22 רַגְלָֽי רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 19 conj _ Gloss=feet|Ref=JDG_1:6!12|MId=o070010060122|Strong=7272 23 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_1:6!12|MId=o070010060123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JDG_1:6!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּנָס *he fled* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲדֹנִי *Adoni-Bezek* | | | | | יִּרְדְּפוּ *they pursued* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֹּאחֲזוּ *they seized* | wayyiqtol · qal | | יֹּאחֲזוּ *they seized* | | | | יְקַצְּצוּ *they cut off* | wayyiqtol · piel | | אֶת־ *(et)* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
