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, Thou, man, we — and what happens in the verse to LORD, Thee, man, us, child, 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. וַיֶּעְתַּ֥ר מָנ֛וֹחַ אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר בִּ֣י אֲדוֹנָ֔י אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֞ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁלַ֗חְתָּ יָבוֹא־נָ֥א עוֹד֙ אֵלֵ֔ינוּ וְיוֹרֵ֕נוּ מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לַנַּ֥עַר הַיּוּלָּֽד׃ [Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said: 'Oh, LORD, I pray Thee, let the man of God whom Thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.405/) ## 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:382 # text = וַיֶּעְתַּ֥ר מָנ֛וֹחַ אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר בִּ֣י אֲדוֹנָ֔י אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֞ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁלַ֗חְתָּ יָבוֹא־נָ֥א עוֹד֙ אֵלֵ֔ינוּ וְיוֹרֵ֕נוּ מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לַנַּ֥עַר הַיּוּלָּֽד׃ # verse = JDG.13.8 1-2 וַיֶּעְתַּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:8!1|MId=o070130080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֶּעְתַּ֥ר עָתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.prayed|Ref=JDG_13:8!1|MId=o070130080012|Strong=6279|Frame=A0:070130080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מָנ֛וֹחַ מָנוֹחַ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Manoah|Ref=JDG_13:8!2|MId=o070130080021|Strong=4495 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_13:8!3|MId=o070130080031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_13:8!4|MId=o070130080041|Strong=3068 6-7 וַיֹּאמַ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_13:8!5|MId=o070130080051|Strong=2050b 7 יֹּאמַ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_13:8!5|MId=o070130080052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070130080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 בִּ֣י בִּי INTJ _ _ 16 discourse _ Gloss=pardon.me|Ref=JDG_13:8!6|MId=o070130080061|Strong=0994|Type=exhortation 9-10 אֲדוֹנָ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֲדוֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 dislocated _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=JDG_13:8!7|MId=o070130080071|Strong=0136 10 ָ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_13:8!7|MId=o070130080072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=JDG_13:8!8|MId=o070130080081|Strong=0376 12-13 הָאֱלֹהִ֞ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=JDG_13:8!9|MId=o070130080091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 אֱלֹהִ֞ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=JDG_13:8!9|MId=o070130080092|Strong=0430 14 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=JDG_13:8!10|MId=o070130080101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 15 שָׁלַ֗חְתָּ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.sent|Ref=JDG_13:8!11|MId=o070130080111|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:070130080071;A1:070130080081;|Type=qatal 16 יָבוֹא־ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 ccomp _ Gloss=let.him.come|Ref=JDG_13:8!12|MId=o070130080121|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070130080081;|Type=jussive|SpaceAfter=No 17 נָ֥א נָא INTJ _ _ 16 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JDG_13:8!13|MId=o070130080131|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 18 עוֹד֙ עוֹד ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=JDG_13:8!14|MId=o070130080141|Strong=5750 19-20 אֵלֵ֔ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֵלֵ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_13:8!15|MId=o070130080151|Strong=0413 20 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=JDG_13:8!15|MId=o070130080152|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 21-23 וְיוֹרֵ֕נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=JDG_13:8!16|MId=o070130080161|Strong=2050b 22 יוֹר יָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 conj _ Gloss=that|Ref=JDG_13:8!16|MId=o070130080162|Strong=3384b|Frame=AA:070130080081;A0:070130080163;A1:070130080181;|Type=yiqtol 23 ֵ֕נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=he.may.teach.us|Ref=JDG_13:8!16|MId=o070130080163|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 24 מַֽה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 25 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=JDG_13:8!17|MId=o070130080171|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 25 נַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 22 xcomp _ Gloss=will.we.do|Ref=JDG_13:8!18|MId=o070130080181|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070130080021;070130060022;A1:070130080171;|Type=yiqtol 26-28 לַנַּ֥עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JDG_13:8!19|MId=o070130080191|Strong=3807a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_13:8!19|MId=o070130080191ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 נַּ֥עַר נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=lad|Ref=JDG_13:8!19|MId=o070130080192|Strong=5288 29-30 הַיּוּלָּֽד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 30 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=JDG_13:8!20|MId=o070130080201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 יּוּלָּֽד יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QALPASSIVE|Number=Sing 28 acl:relcl _ Gloss=is].about.to.be.born|Ref=JDG_13:8!20|MId=o070130080202|Strong=3205|Frame=A1:070130080193;|Type=participle_passive 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JDG_13:8!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
