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 — wife, sons, man, Thou — and what happens in the verse to sons, Gilead, Jephthah, house, son, 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. וַתֵּ֧לֶד אֵֽשֶׁת־גִּלְעָ֛ד ל֖וֹ בָּנִ֑ים וַיִּגְדְּל֨וּ בְֽנֵי־הָאִשָּׁ֜ה וַיְגָרְשׁ֣וּ אֶת־יִפְתָּ֗ח וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לוֹ֙ לֹֽא־תִנְחַ֣ל בְּבֵית־אָבִ֔ינוּ כִּ֛י בֶּן־אִשָּׁ֥ה אַחֶ֖רֶת אָֽתָּה׃ [And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said unto him: 'Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of another woman.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.338/) ## 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:321 # text = וַתֵּ֧לֶד אֵֽשֶׁת־גִּלְעָ֛ד ל֖וֹ בָּנִ֑ים וַיִּגְדְּל֨וּ בְֽנֵי־הָאִשָּׁ֜ה וַיְגָרְשׁ֣וּ אֶת־יִפְתָּ֗ח וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ לוֹ֙ לֹֽא־תִנְחַ֣ל בְּבֵית־אָבִ֔ינוּ כִּ֛י בֶּן־אִשָּׁ֥ה אַחֶ֖רֶת אָֽתָּה׃ # verse = JDG.11.2 1-2 וַתֵּ֧לֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:2!1|MId=o070110020011|Strong=2050b 2 תֵּ֧לֶד יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.bore|Ref=JDG_11:2!1|MId=o070110020012|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:070110020021;A1:070110020051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֵֽשֶׁת־ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.wife|Ref=JDG_11:2!2|MId=o070110020021|Strong=0802|SpaceAfter=No 4 גִּלְעָ֛ד גִּלְעָד PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gilead|Ref=JDG_11:2!3|MId=o070110020031|Strong=1568 5-6 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:2!4|MId=o070110020041|Strong=3807a 6 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:2!4|MId=o070110020042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 בָּנִ֑ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JDG_11:2!5|MId=o070110020051|Strong=1121 8-9 וַיִּגְדְּל֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:2!6|MId=o070110020061|Strong=2050b 9 יִּגְדְּל֨וּ גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.grew.up|Ref=JDG_11:2!6|MId=o070110020062|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:070110020071;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 בְֽנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=JDG_11:2!7|MId=o070110020071|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הָאִשָּׁ֜ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_11:2!8|MId=o070110020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אִשָּׁ֜ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.wife|Ref=JDG_11:2!8|MId=o070110020082|Strong=0802 13-14 וַיְגָרְשׁ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:2!9|MId=o070110020091|Strong=2050b 14 יְגָרְשׁ֣וּ גָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.drove.out|Ref=JDG_11:2!9|MId=o070110020092|Strong=1644|Frame=A0:070110020071;A1:070110020111;|Type=wayyiqtol 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_11:2!10|MId=o070110020101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16 יִפְתָּ֗ח יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 14 obj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:2!11|MId=o070110020111|Strong=3316 17-18 וַיֹּ֤אמְרוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:2!12|MId=o070110020121|Strong=2050b 18 יֹּ֤אמְרוּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JDG_11:2!12|MId=o070110020122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070110020071;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 ל לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:2!13|MId=o070110020131|Strong=3807a 20 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:2!13|MId=o070110020132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_11:2!14|MId=o070110020141|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 22 תִנְחַ֣ל נָחַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 18 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.have.an.inheritance|Ref=JDG_11:2!15|MId=o070110020151|Strong=5157|Frame=A0:070110020111;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 בְּבֵית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_11:2!16|MId=o070110020161|Strong=0871a 24 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JDG_11:2!16|MId=o070110020162|Strong=1004 25-26 אָבִ֔ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 אָבִ֔י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=our.father|Ref=JDG_11:2!17|MId=o070110020171|Strong=0001 26 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=JDG_11:2!17|MId=o070110020172|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 27 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JDG_11:2!18|MId=o070110020181|Strong=3588 28 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 advcl _ Gloss=[are].the.son|Ref=JDG_11:2!19|MId=o070110020191|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 29 אִשָּׁ֥ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.woman|Ref=JDG_11:2!20|MId=o070110020201|Strong=0802 30 אַחֶ֖רֶת אַחֵר ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 amod _ Gloss=another|Ref=JDG_11:2!21|MId=o070110020211|Strong=0312|Type=adjective 31 אָֽתָּה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_11:2!22|MId=o070110020221|Strong=0859|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:2!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
