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 — kid, flame, angel, Manoah, wine, altar — and what happens in the verse to altar, flame, faces, 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. וַיְהִי֩ בַעֲל֨וֹת הַלַּ֜הַב מֵעַ֤ל הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ הַשָּׁמַ֔יְמָה וַיַּ֥עַל מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָ֖ה בְּלַ֣הַב הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וּמָנ֤וֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּוֹ֙ רֹאִ֔ים וַיִּפְּל֥וּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶ֖ם אָֽרְצָה׃ [For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.417/) ## 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:394 # text = וַיְהִי֩ בַעֲל֨וֹת הַלַּ֜הַב מֵעַ֤ל הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ הַשָּׁמַ֔יְמָה וַיַּ֥עַל מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָ֖ה בְּלַ֣הַב הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וּמָנ֤וֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּוֹ֙ רֹאִ֔ים וַיִּפְּל֥וּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶ֖ם אָֽרְצָה׃ # verse = JDG.13.20 1-2 וַיְהִי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:20!1|MId=o070130200011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֩ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JDG_13:20!1|MId=o070130200012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בַעֲל֨וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=JDG_13:20!2|MId=o070130200021|Strong=0871a 4 עֲל֨וֹת עָלָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=went.up|Ref=JDG_13:20!2|MId=o070130200022|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:070130200032;|Type=infinitive_construct 5-6 הַלַּ֜הַב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_13:20!3|MId=o070130200031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 לַּ֜הַב לַהַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=flame|Ref=JDG_13:20!3|MId=o070130200032|Strong=3851 7-8 מֵעַ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_13:20!4|MId=o070130200041|Strong=4480 8 עַ֤ל עַל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_13:20!4|MId=o070130200042|Strong=5921 9-10 הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_13:20!5|MId=o070130200051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=altar|Ref=JDG_13:20!5|MId=o070130200052|Strong=4196 11-13 הַשָּׁמַ֔יְמָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_13:20!6|MId=o070130200061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 שָּׁמַ֔יְמ שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_13:20!6|MId=o070130200062|Strong=8064 13 ָה ה X _ _ 12 nmod _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=JDG_13:20!6|MId=o070130200063|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 14-15 וַיַּ֥עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:20!7|MId=o070130200071|Strong=2050b 15 יַּ֥עַל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.up|Ref=JDG_13:20!7|MId=o070130200072|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:070130200081;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 מַלְאַךְ־ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=the.angel|Ref=JDG_13:20!8|MId=o070130200081|Strong=4397|SpaceAfter=No 17 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JDG_13:20!9|MId=o070130200091|Strong=3068 18-19 בְּלַ֣הַב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_13:20!10|MId=o070130200101|Strong=0871a 19 לַ֣הַב לַהַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.flame|Ref=JDG_13:20!10|MId=o070130200102|Strong=3851 20-21 הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_13:20!11|MId=o070130200111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מִּזְבֵּ֑חַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.altar|Ref=JDG_13:20!11|MId=o070130200112|Strong=4196 22-23 וּמָנ֤וֹחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:20!12|MId=o070130200121|Strong=2050b 23 מָנ֤וֹחַ מָנוֹחַ PROPN _ _ 27 nsubj _ Gloss=Manoah|Ref=JDG_13:20!12|MId=o070130200122|Strong=4495 24-26 וְאִשְׁתּוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:20!13|MId=o070130200131|Strong=2050b 25 אִשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=wife|Ref=JDG_13:20!13|MId=o070130200132|Strong=0802 26 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_13:20!13|MId=o070130200133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 רֹאִ֔ים רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=[were].looking|Ref=JDG_13:20!14|MId=o070130200141|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:070130200122;070130200132;|Type=participle_active 28-29 וַיִּפְּל֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:20!15|MId=o070130200151|Strong=2050b 29 יִּפְּל֥וּ נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.fell|Ref=JDG_13:20!15|MId=o070130200152|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:070130200122;070130200132;|Type=wayyiqtol 30 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_13:20!16|MId=o070130200161|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 31-32 פְּנֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 פְּנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 29 obl _ Gloss=faces|Ref=JDG_13:20!17|MId=o070130200171|Strong=6440 32 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_13:20!17|MId=o070130200172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 33-34 אָֽרְצָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 אָֽרְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=ground|Ref=JDG_13:20!18|MId=o070130200181|Strong=0776 34 ָה ה X _ _ 33 nmod _ Gloss=to.[the]|Ref=JDG_13:20!18|MId=o070130200182|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=JDG_13:20!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
