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, daughter — and what happens in the verse to Mizpah, Jephthah, only child, 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. וַיָּבֹ֨א יִפְתָּ֣ח הַמִּצְפָּה֮ אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ֒ וְהִנֵּ֤ה בִתּוֹ֙ יֹצֵ֣את לִקְרָאת֔וֹ בְתֻפִּ֖ים וּבִמְחֹל֑וֹת וְרַק֙ הִ֣יא יְחִידָ֔ה אֵֽין־ל֥וֹ מִמֶּ֛נּוּ בֵּ֖ן אוֹ־בַֽת׃ [And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.373/) ## 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:353 # text = וַיָּבֹ֨א יִפְתָּ֣ח הַמִּצְפָּה֮ אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ֒ וְהִנֵּ֤ה בִתּוֹ֙ יֹצֵ֣את לִקְרָאת֔וֹ בְתֻפִּ֖ים וּבִמְחֹל֑וֹת וְרַק֙ הִ֣יא יְחִידָ֔ה אֵֽין־ל֥וֹ מִמֶּ֛נּוּ בֵּ֖ן אוֹ־בַֽת׃ # verse = JDG.11.34 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:34!1|MId=o070110340011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֨א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.came|Ref=JDG_11:34!1|MId=o070110340012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070110340021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִפְתָּ֣ח יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:34!2|MId=o070110340021|Strong=3316 4-5 הַמִּצְפָּה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_11:34!3|MId=o070110340031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מִּצְפָּה֮ מִצְפָּה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Mizpah|Ref=JDG_11:34!3|MId=o070110340032|Strong=4709 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:34!4|MId=o070110340041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 בֵּיתוֹ֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בֵּית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=JDG_11:34!5|MId=o070110340051|Strong=1004 8 וֹ֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_11:34!5|MId=o070110340052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְהִנֵּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:34!6|MId=o070110340061|Strong=2050b 10 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 13 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=JDG_11:34!6|MId=o070110340062|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 11-12 בִתּוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בִתּ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=daughter|Ref=JDG_11:34!7|MId=o070110340071|Strong=1323 12 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_11:34!7|MId=o070110340072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 יֹצֵ֣את יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].coming.out|Ref=JDG_11:34!8|MId=o070110340081|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:070110340071;|Type=participle_active 14-16 לִקְרָאת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:34!9|MId=o070110340091|Strong=3807a 15 קְרָאת קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=JDG_11:34!9|MId=o070110340092|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:070110340071;A1:070110340093;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:34!9|MId=o070110340093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 בְתֻפִּ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_11:34!10|MId=o070110340101|Strong=0871a 18 תֻפִּ֖ים תֹּף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=tambourines|Ref=JDG_11:34!10|MId=o070110340102|Strong=8596 19-21 וּבִמְחֹל֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:34!11|MId=o070110340111|Strong=2050b 20 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_11:34!11|MId=o070110340112|Strong=0871a 21 מְחֹל֑וֹת מְחֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=dancing(s)|Ref=JDG_11:34!11|MId=o070110340113|Strong=4246 22-23 וְרַק֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:34!12|MId=o070110340121|Strong=2050b 23 רַק֙ רַק ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=JDG_11:34!12|MId=o070110340122|Strong=7535|Type=affirmation 24 הִ֣יא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=she|Ref=JDG_11:34!13|MId=o070110340131|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 25 יְחִידָ֔ה יָחִיד ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].an.only.[child]|Ref=JDG_11:34!14|MId=o070110340141|Strong=3173|Type=adjective 26 אֵֽין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 2 parataxis _ Gloss=there.[belonged].not|Ref=JDG_11:34!15|MId=o070110340151|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 ל֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 ל לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:34!16|MId=o070110340161|Strong=3807a 28 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:34!16|MId=o070110340162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29-30 מִמֶּ֛נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_11:34!17|MId=o070110340171|Strong=4480 30 ֶ֛נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_11:34!17|MId=o070110340172|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 31 בֵּ֖ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=JDG_11:34!18|MId=o070110340181|Strong=1121 32 אוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=JDG_11:34!19|MId=o070110340191|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 33 בַֽת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 31 conj _ Gloss=a.daughter|Ref=JDG_11:34!20|MId=o070110340201|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:34!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
