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 — LORD, daughter — and what happens in the verse to daughter, virginity, 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 לֵ֔כִי וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח אוֹתָ֖הּ שְׁנֵ֣י חֳדָשִׁ֑ים וַתֵּ֤לֶךְ הִיא֙ וְרֵ֣עוֹתֶ֔יהָ וַתֵּ֥בְךְּ עַל־בְּתוּלֶ֖יהָ עַל־הֶהָרִֽים׃ [And he said: 'Go.' And he sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.377/) ## 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:357 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לֵ֔כִי וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח אוֹתָ֖הּ שְׁנֵ֣י חֳדָשִׁ֑ים וַתֵּ֤לֶךְ הִיא֙ וְרֵ֣עוֹתֶ֔יהָ וַתֵּ֥בְךְּ עַל־בְּתוּלֶ֖יהָ עַל־הֶהָרִֽים׃ # verse = JDG.11.38 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:38!1|MId=o070110380011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_11:38!1|MId=o070110380012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070110370031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 לֵ֔כִי הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=JDG_11:38!2|MId=o070110380021|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:070110340071;|Type=imperative 4-5 וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:38!3|MId=o070110380031|Strong=2050b 5 יִּשְׁלַ֥ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.sent.away|Ref=JDG_11:38!3|MId=o070110380032|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:070110370031;A1:070110380042;|Type=wayyiqtol 6-7 אוֹתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_11:38!4|MId=o070110380041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 7 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=her|Ref=JDG_11:38!4|MId=o070110380042|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 8 שְׁנֵ֣י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 9 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=JDG_11:38!5|MId=o070110380051|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 9 חֳדָשִׁ֑ים חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 obl _ Gloss=months|Ref=JDG_11:38!6|MId=o070110380061|Strong=2320 10-11 וַתֵּ֤לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:38!7|MId=o070110380071|Strong=2050b 11 תֵּ֤לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.went|Ref=JDG_11:38!7|MId=o070110380072|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:070110380081;070110380092;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 הִיא֙ הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nsubj _ Gloss=she|Ref=JDG_11:38!8|MId=o070110380081|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 13-15 וְרֵ֣עוֹתֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:38!9|MId=o070110380091|Strong=2050b 14 רֵ֣עוֹתֶ֔י רֵעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=companions|Ref=JDG_11:38!9|MId=o070110380092|Strong=7464 15 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=JDG_11:38!9|MId=o070110380093|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16-17 וַתֵּ֥בְךְּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:38!10|MId=o070110380101|Strong=2050b 17 תֵּ֥בְךְּ בָּכָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.wept|Ref=JDG_11:38!10|MId=o070110380102|Strong=1058|Frame=A0:070110340071;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_11:38!11|MId=o070110380111|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 בְּתוּלֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּתוּלֶ֖י בְּתוּלִים NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=virginiti(es)|Ref=JDG_11:38!12|MId=o070110380121|Strong=1331 20 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=JDG_11:38!12|MId=o070110380122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_11:38!13|MId=o070110380131|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 הֶהָרִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_11:38!14|MId=o070110380141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 הָרִֽים הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=mountains|Ref=JDG_11:38!14|MId=o070110380142|Strong=2022 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:38!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - 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 | | | | | | לֵכִי *go* | imperative · qal | | | | | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent away* | wayyiqtol · qal | | ָהּ *her* | | | | תֵּלֶךְ *she went* | wayyiqtol · qal | הִיא *she* + רֵעוֹתֶי *companions* | | | | | תֵּבְךְּ *she wept* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
