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, Israel — and what happens in the verse to land, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יִפְתָּ֑ח לֹֽא־לָקַ֤ח יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֔ב וְאֶת־אֶ֖רֶץ בְּנֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹן׃ [and he said unto him: 'Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.351/) ## 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:334 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ כֹּ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יִפְתָּ֑ח לֹֽא־לָקַ֤ח יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֔ב וְאֶת־אֶ֖רֶץ בְּנֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹן׃ # verse = JDG.11.15 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:15!1|MId=o070110150011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_11:15!1|MId=o070110150012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070110140031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:15!2|MId=o070110150021|Strong=3807a 4 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:15!2|MId=o070110150022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 כֹּ֖ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JDG_11:15!3|MId=o070110150031|Strong=3541 6 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JDG_11:15!4|MId=o070110150041|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070110150051;|Type=qatal 7 יִפְתָּ֑ח יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:15!5|MId=o070110150051|Strong=3316 8 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_11:15!6|MId=o070110150061|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9 לָקַ֤ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 ccomp _ Gloss=it.has.taken|Ref=JDG_11:15!7|MId=o070110150071|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070110150081;A1:070110150101;070110150131;|Type=qatal 10 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=JDG_11:15!8|MId=o070110150081|Strong=3478 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_11:15!9|MId=o070110150091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=JDG_11:15!10|MId=o070110150101|Strong=0776 13 מוֹאָ֔ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=JDG_11:15!11|MId=o070110150111|Strong=4124 14-15 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:15!12|MId=o070110150121|Strong=2050b 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_11:15!12|MId=o070110150122|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 אֶ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=JDG_11:15!13|MId=o070110150131|Strong=0776 17 בְּנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=JDG_11:15!14|MId=o070110150141|Strong=1121 18 עַמּֽוֹן עַמּוֹן PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ammon|Ref=JDG_11:15!15|MId=o070110150151|Strong=5983|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:15!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יִפְתָּח *Jephthah* | | | | | **not** לָקַח *it has taken* | qatal · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | אֶרֶץ *the land* + אֶרֶץ *the land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
