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, I, ye — and what happens in the verse to great strife, you, me, hand, 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 אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם אִ֣ישׁ רִ֗יב הָיִ֛יתִי אֲנִ֛י וְעַמִּ֥י וּבְנֵֽי־עַמּ֖וֹן מְאֹ֑ד וָאֶזְעַ֣ק אֶתְכֶ֔ם וְלֹֽא־הוֹשַׁעְתֶּ֥ם אוֹתִ֖י מִיָּדָֽם׃ [And Jephthah said unto them: 'I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.382/) ## 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:361 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יִפְתָּח֙ אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם אִ֣ישׁ רִ֗יב הָיִ֛יתִי אֲנִ֛י וְעַמִּ֥י וּבְנֵֽי־עַמּ֖וֹן מְאֹ֑ד וָאֶזְעַ֣ק אֶתְכֶ֔ם וְלֹֽא־הוֹשַׁעְתֶּ֥ם אוֹתִ֖י מִיָּדָֽם׃ # verse = JDG.12.2 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_12:2!1|MId=o070120020011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_12:2!1|MId=o070120020012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070120020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִפְתָּח֙ יִפְתָּח PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jephthah|Ref=JDG_12:2!2|MId=o070120020021|Strong=3316 4-5 אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_12:2!3|MId=o070120020031|Strong=0413 5 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_12:2!3|MId=o070120020032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=JDG_12:2!4|MId=o070120020041|Strong=0376 7 רִ֗יב רִיב NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.strife|Ref=JDG_12:2!5|MId=o070120020051|Strong=7379 8 הָיִ֛יתִי הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 6 cop _ Gloss=I.was|Ref=JDG_12:2!6|MId=o070120020061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:070120020071;070120020082;070120020092;|Type=qatal 9 אֲנִ֛י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JDG_12:2!7|MId=o070120020071|Strong=0589|Type=personal 10-12 וְעַמִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_12:2!8|MId=o070120020081|Strong=2050b 11 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=people|Ref=JDG_12:2!8|MId=o070120020082|Strong=5971 12 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_12:2!8|MId=o070120020083|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13-14 וּבְנֵֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_12:2!9|MId=o070120020091|Strong=2050b 14 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 conj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_12:2!9|MId=o070120020092|Strong=1121 15 עַמּ֖וֹן עַמּוֹן PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ammon|Ref=JDG_12:2!10|MId=o070120020101|Strong=5983 16 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=JDG_12:2!11|MId=o070120020111|Strong=3966 17-18 וָאֶזְעַ֣ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_12:2!12|MId=o070120020121|Strong=2050b 18 אֶזְעַ֣ק זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.summoned|Ref=JDG_12:2!12|MId=o070120020122|Strong=2199|Frame=A0:070120020021;A1:070120020132;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 אֶתְכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_12:2!13|MId=o070120020131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 20 ְכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_12:2!13|MId=o070120020132|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_12:2!14|MId=o070120020141|Strong=2050b 22 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_12:2!14|MId=o070120020142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 23 הוֹשַׁעְתֶּ֥ם יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.delivered|Ref=JDG_12:2!15|MId=o070120020151|Strong=3467|Frame=AA:070120010021;A0:070120020162;|Type=qatal 24-25 אוֹתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_12:2!16|MId=o070120020161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 25 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=JDG_12:2!16|MId=o070120020162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26-28 מִיָּדָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_12:2!17|MId=o070120020171|Strong=4480 27 יָּד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_12:2!17|MId=o070120020172|Strong=3027 28 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_12:2!17|MId=o070120020173|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JDG_12:2!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - 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 | יִפְתָּח *Jephthah* | | | | | הָיִיתִי *I was* | qatal · qal | אֲנִי *I* + עַמּ *people* + בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | אֶזְעַק *I summoned* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִפְתָּח *Jephthah* | ְכֶם *you* | | | | **not** הוֹשַׁעְתֶּם *you delivered* | qatal · hiphil | ִי *me* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
