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, ye — and what happens in the verse to me, ye, distress, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יִפְתָּח֙ לְזִקְנֵ֣י גִלְעָ֔ד הֲלֹ֤א אַתֶּם֙ שְׂנֵאתֶ֣ם אוֹתִ֔י וַתְּגָרְשׁ֖וּנִי מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑י וּמַדּ֜וּעַ בָּאתֶ֤ם אֵלַי֙ עַ֔תָּה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צַ֥ר לָכֶֽם׃ [And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead: 'Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.343/) ## 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:326 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יִפְתָּח֙ לְזִקְנֵ֣י גִלְעָ֔ד הֲלֹ֤א אַתֶּם֙ שְׂנֵאתֶ֣ם אוֹתִ֔י וַתְּגָרְשׁ֖וּנִי מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑י וּמַדּ֜וּעַ בָּאתֶ֤ם אֵלַי֙ עַ֔תָּה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צַ֥ר לָכֶֽם׃ # verse = JDG.11.7 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:7!1|MId=o070110070011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_11:7!1|MId=o070110070012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070110070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִפְתָּח֙ יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_11:7!2|MId=o070110070021|Strong=3316 4-5 לְזִקְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:7!3|MId=o070110070031|Strong=3807a 5 זִקְנֵ֣י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=JDG_11:7!3|MId=o070110070032|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 6 גִלְעָ֔ד גִּלְעָד PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gilead|Ref=JDG_11:7!4|MId=o070110070041|Strong=1568 7-8 הֲלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=JDG_11:7!5|MId=o070110070051|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 8 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_11:7!5|MId=o070110070052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 9 אַתֶּם֙ אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_11:7!6|MId=o070110070061|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 10 שְׂנֵאתֶ֣ם שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=did.you.hate|Ref=JDG_11:7!7|MId=o070110070071|Strong=8130|Frame=A0:070110070061;A1:070110070082;|Type=qatal 11-12 אוֹתִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_11:7!8|MId=o070110070081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=JDG_11:7!8|MId=o070110070082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13-15 וַתְּגָרְשׁ֖וּנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:7!9|MId=o070110070091|Strong=2050b 14 תְּגָרְשׁ֖וּ גָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 conj _ Gloss=did|Ref=JDG_11:7!9|MId=o070110070092|Strong=1644|Frame=A0:070110070032;A1:070110070093;|Type=wayyiqtol 15 נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=you.drive.me.out?|Ref=JDG_11:7!9|MId=o070110070093|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 16-17 מִבֵּ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_11:7!10|MId=o070110070101|Strong=4480 17 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JDG_11:7!10|MId=o070110070102|Strong=1004 18-19 אָבִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אָב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.father|Ref=JDG_11:7!11|MId=o070110070111|Strong=0001 19 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_11:7!11|MId=o070110070112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וּמַדּ֜וּעַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_11:7!12|MId=o070110070121|Strong=2050b 21 מַדּ֜וּעַ מַדּוּעַ ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=why?|Ref=JDG_11:7!12|MId=o070110070122|Strong=4069 22 בָּאתֶ֤ם בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 conj _ Gloss=have.you.come|Ref=JDG_11:7!13|MId=o070110070131|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070110070032;|Type=qatal 23-24 אֵלַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:7!14|MId=o070110070141|Strong=0413 24 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JDG_11:7!14|MId=o070110070142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25 עַ֔תָּה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=JDG_11:7!15|MId=o070110070151|Strong=6258 26-27 כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=when|Ref=JDG_11:7!16|MId=o070110070161|Strong=3509a 27 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_11:7!16|MId=o070110070162|Strong=0834|Type=relative 28 צַ֥ר צרר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 26 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.is.distress|Ref=JDG_11:7!17|MId=o070110070171|Strong=6887|Frame=A0:;|Type=qatal 29-30 לָכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 ל לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_11:7!18|MId=o070110070181|Strong=3807a 30 ָכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_11:7!18|MId=o070110070182|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JDG_11:7!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
