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 — Manoah, I, us, we — and what happens in the verse to thee, us, kid, 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. וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מָנ֖וֹחַ אֶל־מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֑ה נַעְצְרָה־נָּ֣א אוֹתָ֔ךְ וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְפָנֶ֖יךָ גְּדִ֥י עִזִּֽים׃ [And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD: 'I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.412/) ## 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:389 # text = וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מָנ֖וֹחַ אֶל־מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֑ה נַעְצְרָה־נָּ֣א אוֹתָ֔ךְ וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְפָנֶ֖יךָ גְּדִ֥י עִזִּֽים׃ # verse = JDG.13.15 1-2 וַיֹּ֥אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:15!1|MId=o070130150011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֥אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_13:15!1|MId=o070130150012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070130150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מָנ֖וֹחַ מָנוֹחַ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Manoah|Ref=JDG_13:15!2|MId=o070130150021|Strong=4495 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_13:15!3|MId=o070130150031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מַלְאַ֣ךְ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.angel|Ref=JDG_13:15!4|MId=o070130150041|Strong=4397 6 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JDG_13:15!5|MId=o070130150051|Strong=3068 7 נַעְצְרָה־ עָצַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.us.detain|Ref=JDG_13:15!6|MId=o070130150061|Strong=6113|Frame=A0:070130150021;070130130102;A1:070130150082;|Type=cohortative|SpaceAfter=No 8 נָּ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 7 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JDG_13:15!7|MId=o070130150071|Strong=4994|Type=interjection 9-10 אוֹתָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_13:15!8|MId=o070130150081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_13:15!8|MId=o070130150082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְנַעֲשֶׂ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=JDG_13:15!9|MId=o070130150091|Strong=2050b 12 נַעֲשֶׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 7 conj _ Gloss=that.we.may.prepare|Ref=JDG_13:15!9|MId=o070130150092|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070130150021;070130130102;A1:070130150111;|Type=yiqtol 13-15 לְפָנֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JDG_13:15!10|MId=o070130150101|Strong=3807a 14 פָנֶ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_13:15!10|MId=o070130150102|Strong=6440 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_13:15!10|MId=o070130150103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 גְּדִ֥י גְּדִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=a.kid|Ref=JDG_13:15!11|MId=o070130150111|Strong=1423 17 עִזִּֽים עֵז NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.goats|Ref=JDG_13:15!12|MId=o070130150121|Strong=5795|SpaceAfter=No 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=JDG_13:15!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - 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 | מָנוֹחַ *Manoah* | | | | | נַעְצְרָה־ *let us detain* | cohortative · qal | מָנוֹחַ *Manoah* | ָךְ *you* | | | | נַעֲשֶׂה *that we may prepare* | yiqtol · qal | מָנוֹחַ *Manoah* | גְּדִי *a kid* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
