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 — it, children, elders — and what happens in the verse to war, Jephthah, 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. וַיְהִ֕י כַּאֲשֶׁר־נִלְחֲמ֥וּ בְנֵֽי־עַמּ֖וֹן עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ זִקְנֵ֣י גִלְעָ֔ד לָקַ֥חַת אֶת־יִפְתָּ֖ח מֵאֶ֥רֶץ טֽוֹב׃ [And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.341/) ## 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:324 # text = וַיְהִ֕י כַּאֲשֶׁר־נִלְחֲמ֥וּ בְנֵֽי־עַמּ֖וֹן עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ זִקְנֵ֣י גִלְעָ֔ד לָקַ֥חַת אֶת־יִפְתָּ֖ח מֵאֶ֥רֶץ טֽוֹב׃ # verse = JDG.11.5 1-2 וַיְהִ֕י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:5!1|MId=o070110050011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֕י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JDG_11:5!1|MId=o070110050012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 כַּאֲשֶׁר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=when|Ref=JDG_11:5!2|MId=o070110050021|Strong=3509a 4 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_11:5!2|MId=o070110050022|Strong=0834|Type=relative 5 נִלְחֲמ֥וּ לָחַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.fought|Ref=JDG_11:5!3|MId=o070110050031|Strong=3898|Frame=A0:070110050041;|Type=qatal 6 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_11:5!4|MId=o070110050041|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 7 עַמּ֖וֹן עַמּוֹן PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ammon|Ref=JDG_11:5!5|MId=o070110050051|Strong=5983 8 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_11:5!6|MId=o070110050061|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 9 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=JDG_11:5!7|MId=o070110050071|Strong=3478 10-11 וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:5!8|MId=o070110050081|Strong=2050b 11 יֵּֽלְכוּ֙ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=JDG_11:5!8|MId=o070110050082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:070110050091;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 זִקְנֵ֣י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=JDG_11:5!9|MId=o070110050091|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 13 גִלְעָ֔ד גִּלְעָד PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gilead|Ref=JDG_11:5!10|MId=o070110050101|Strong=1568 14-15 לָקַ֥חַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:5!11|MId=o070110050111|Strong=3807a 15 קַ֥חַת לָקַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=fetch|Ref=JDG_11:5!11|MId=o070110050112|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070110050091;A1:070110050131;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_11:5!12|MId=o070110050121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17 יִפְתָּ֖ח יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 15 obj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:5!13|MId=o070110050131|Strong=3316 18-19 מֵאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_11:5!14|MId=o070110050141|Strong=4480 19 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=JDG_11:5!14|MId=o070110050142|Strong=0776 20 טֽוֹב טוֹב PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Tob|Ref=JDG_11:5!15|MId=o070110050151|Strong=2897|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:5!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִלְחֲמוּ *they fought* | qatal · niphal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | יֵּֽלְכוּ *they went* | wayyiqtol · qal | זִקְנֵי *the elders* | | | | | קַחַת *fetch* | infinitive construct · qal | זִקְנֵי *the elders* | יִפְתָּח *Jephthah* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
