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 — ye, garments, we, raiment, thy — and what happens in the verse to feast, me, thirty linen garments, riddle, 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. וְאִם־לֹ֣א תוּכְלוּ֮ לְהַגִּ֣יד לִי֒ וּנְתַתֶּ֨ם אַתֶּ֥ם לִי֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים סְדִינִ֔ים וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים חֲלִיפ֣וֹת בְּגָדִ֑ים וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ ל֔וֹ ח֥וּדָה חִידָתְךָ֖ וְנִשְׁמָעֶֽנָּה׃ [but if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JDG:412 # text = וְאִם־לֹ֣א תוּכְלוּ֮ לְהַגִּ֣יד לִי֒ וּנְתַתֶּ֨ם אַתֶּ֥ם לִי֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים סְדִינִ֔ים וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים חֲלִיפ֣וֹת בְּגָדִ֑ים וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ ל֔וֹ ח֥וּדָה חִידָתְךָ֖ וְנִשְׁמָעֶֽנָּה׃ # verse = JDG.14.13 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:13!1|MId=o070140130011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JDG_14:13!1|MId=o070140130012|Strong=0518 3 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_14:13!2|MId=o070140130021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4 תוּכְלוּ֮ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 advcl _ Gloss=you.will.be.able|Ref=JDG_14:13!3|MId=o070140130031|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:070140110061;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 לְהַגִּ֣יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:13!4|MId=o070140130041|Strong=3807a 6 הַגִּ֣יד נָגַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 4 xcomp _ Gloss=tell|Ref=JDG_14:13!4|MId=o070140130042|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:070140110061;|Type=infinitive_construct 7-8 לִי֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ל לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:13!5|MId=o070140130051|Strong=3807a 8 ִי֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JDG_14:13!5|MId=o070140130052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 וּנְתַתֶּ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:13!6|MId=o070140130061|Strong=2050b 10 נְתַתֶּ֨ם נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.give|Ref=JDG_14:13!6|MId=o070140130062|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070140130071;A1:070140130101;070140130121;|Type=weqatal 11 אַתֶּ֥ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_14:13!7|MId=o070140130071|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 12-13 לִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:13!8|MId=o070140130081|Strong=3807a 13 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JDG_14:13!8|MId=o070140130082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 15 nummod _ Gloss=thirty|Ref=JDG_14:13!9|MId=o070140130091|Strong=7970|Type=cardinal_number 15 סְדִינִ֔ים סָדִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=linen.garments|Ref=JDG_14:13!10|MId=o070140130101|Strong=5466 16-17 וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:13!11|MId=o070140130111|Strong=2050b 17 שְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 18 nummod _ Gloss=thirty|Ref=JDG_14:13!11|MId=o070140130112|Strong=7970|Type=cardinal_number 18 חֲלִיפ֣וֹת חֲלִיפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 15 conj _ Gloss=changes|Ref=JDG_14:13!12|MId=o070140130121|Strong=2487 19 בְּגָדִ֑ים בֶּגֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.garments|Ref=JDG_14:13!13|MId=o070140130131|Strong=0899 20-21 וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:13!14|MId=o070140130141|Strong=2050b 21 יֹּ֣אמְרוּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JDG_14:13!14|MId=o070140130142|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070140110061;|Type=wayyiqtol 22-23 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:13!15|MId=o070140130151|Strong=3807a 23 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_14:13!15|MId=o070140130152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 ח֥וּדָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ח֥וּד חוּד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 21 ccomp _ Gloss=ask|Ref=JDG_14:13!16|MId=o070140130161|Strong=2330|Frame=A0:070140120031;A1:070140130171;|Type=imperative 25 ָה ה X _ _ 24 nmod _ Gloss=the.riddle|Ref=JDG_14:13!16|MId=o070140130162|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 26-27 חִידָתְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 חִידָת חִידָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=riddle|Ref=JDG_14:13!17|MId=o070140130171|Strong=2420 27 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_14:13!17|MId=o070140130172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 28-30 וְנִשְׁמָעֶֽנָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=JDG_14:13!18|MId=o070140130181|Strong=2050b 29 נִשְׁמָע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 24 conj _ Gloss=that|Ref=JDG_14:13!18|MId=o070140130182|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:070140110061;A1:070140130183;|Type=yiqtol 30 ֶֽנָּה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obj _ Gloss=we.may.hear.it|Ref=JDG_14:13!18|MId=o070140130183|Strong=5089a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JDG_14:13!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
