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 — Jephthah, people — and what happens in the verse to head, Jephthah, words, 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. וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ יִפְתָּח֙ עִם־זִקְנֵ֣י גִלְעָ֔ד וַיָּשִׂ֨ימוּ הָעָ֥ם אוֹת֛וֹ עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לְרֹ֣אשׁ וּלְקָצִ֑ין וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר יִפְתָּ֧ח אֶת־כָּל־דְּבָרָ֛יו לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃פ [Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.347/) ## 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:330 # text = וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ יִפְתָּח֙ עִם־זִקְנֵ֣י גִלְעָ֔ד וַיָּשִׂ֨ימוּ הָעָ֥ם אוֹת֛וֹ עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לְרֹ֣אשׁ וּלְקָצִ֑ין וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר יִפְתָּ֧ח אֶת־כָּל־דְּבָרָ֛יו לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃פ # verse = JDG.11.11 1-2 וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:11!1|MId=o070110110011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּ֤לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=JDG_11:11!1|MId=o070110110012|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:070110110021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִפְתָּח֙ יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:11!2|MId=o070110110021|Strong=3316 4 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_11:11!3|MId=o070110110031|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 5 זִקְנֵ֣י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=JDG_11:11!4|MId=o070110110041|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 6 גִלְעָ֔ד גִּלְעָד PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gilead|Ref=JDG_11:11!5|MId=o070110110051|Strong=1568 7-8 וַיָּשִׂ֨ימוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:11!6|MId=o070110110061|Strong=2050b 8 יָּשִׂ֨ימוּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.made|Ref=JDG_11:11!6|MId=o070110110062|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:070110110072;A1:070110110082;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 הָעָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_11:11!7|MId=o070110110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָ֥ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=JDG_11:11!7|MId=o070110110072|Strong=5971 11-12 אוֹת֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_11:11!8|MId=o070110110081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:11!8|MId=o070110110082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=JDG_11:11!9|MId=o070110110091|Strong=5921 14 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_11:11!9|MId=o070110110092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-16 לְרֹ֣אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JDG_11:11!10|MId=o070110110101|Strong=3807a 16 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=chief|Ref=JDG_11:11!10|MId=o070110110102|Strong=7218 17-19 וּלְקָצִ֑ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:11!11|MId=o070110110111|Strong=2050b 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JDG_11:11!11|MId=o070110110112|Strong=3807a 19 קָצִ֑ין קָצִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=commander|Ref=JDG_11:11!11|MId=o070110110113|Strong=7101 20-21 וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:11!12|MId=o070110110121|Strong=2050b 21 יְדַבֵּ֨ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=JDG_11:11!12|MId=o070110110122|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:070110110131;A1:070110110161;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 יִפְתָּ֧ח יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 21 nsubj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:11!13|MId=o070110110131|Strong=3316 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_11:11!14|MId=o070110110141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 24 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_11:11!15|MId=o070110110151|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 דְּבָרָ֛יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 דְּבָרָ֛י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=words|Ref=JDG_11:11!16|MId=o070110110161|Strong=1697 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_11:11!16|MId=o070110110162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27-28 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JDG_11:11!17|MId=o070110110171|Strong=3807a 28 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_11:11!17|MId=o070110110172|Strong=6440 29 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_11:11!18|MId=o070110110181|Strong=3068 30-32 בַּמִּצְפָּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_11:11!19|MId=o070110110191|Strong=0871a 31 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_11:11!19|MId=o070110110191ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 מִּצְפָּֽה מִצְפָּה PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Mizpah|Ref=JDG_11:11!19|MId=o070110110192|Strong=4709 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:11!19|SpaceAfter=No 34 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:11!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
