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 — Samson, sweetness, garments — and what happens in the verse to food, eater, strong, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֗ם מֵהָֽאֹכֵל֙ יָצָ֣א מַאֲכָ֔ל וּמֵעַ֖ז יָצָ֣א מָת֑וֹק וְלֹ֥א יָכְל֛וּ לְהַגִּ֥יד הַחִידָ֖ה שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִֽים׃ [And he said unto them: Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.438/) [And they could not in three days declare the riddle.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.439/) ## 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:413 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֗ם מֵהָֽאֹכֵל֙ יָצָ֣א מַאֲכָ֔ל וּמֵעַ֖ז יָצָ֣א מָת֑וֹק וְלֹ֥א יָכְל֛וּ לְהַגִּ֥יד הַחִידָ֖ה שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִֽים׃ # verse = JDG.14.14 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:14!1|MId=o070140140011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_14:14!1|MId=o070140140012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070140120031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:14!2|MId=o070140140021|Strong=3807a 4 ָהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_14:14!2|MId=o070140140022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-7 מֵהָֽאֹכֵל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_14:14!3|MId=o070140140031|Strong=4480 6 הָֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_14:14!3|MId=o070140140032|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אֹכֵל֙ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 8 advcl _ Gloss=eater|Ref=JDG_14:14!3|MId=o070140140033|Strong=0398|Type=participle_active 8 יָצָ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.came.out|Ref=JDG_14:14!4|MId=o070140140041|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:070140140051;|Type=qatal 9 מַאֲכָ֔ל מַאֲכָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=food|Ref=JDG_14:14!5|MId=o070140140051|Strong=3978 10-12 וּמֵעַ֖ז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:14!6|MId=o070140140061|Strong=2050b 11 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_14:14!6|MId=o070140140062|Strong=4480 12 עַ֖ז עַז ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=a.strong.[one]|Ref=JDG_14:14!6|MId=o070140140063|Strong=5794|Type=adjective 13 יָצָ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=it.came.out|Ref=JDG_14:14!7|MId=o070140140071|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:070140140081;|Type=qatal 14 מָת֑וֹק מָתוֹק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=a.sweet.[thing]|Ref=JDG_14:14!8|MId=o070140140081|Strong=4966|Type=adjective 15-16 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:14!9|MId=o070140140091|Strong=2050b 16 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_14:14!9|MId=o070140140092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 יָכְל֛וּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=they.were.able|Ref=JDG_14:14!10|MId=o070140140101|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:070140110061;|Type=qatal 18-19 לְהַגִּ֥יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:14!11|MId=o070140140111|Strong=3807a 19 הַגִּ֥יד נָגַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 17 xcomp _ Gloss=tell|Ref=JDG_14:14!11|MId=o070140140112|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:070140110061;A0:070140140122;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 הַחִידָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_14:14!12|MId=o070140140121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 חִידָ֖ה חִידָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=riddle|Ref=JDG_14:14!12|MId=o070140140122|Strong=2420 22 שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=JDG_14:14!13|MId=o070140140131|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 23 יָמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=JDG_14:14!14|MId=o070140140141|Strong=3117|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JDG_14:14!14 ``` ## 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 | | | | | | יָצָא *it came out* | qatal · qal | מַאֲכָל *food* | | | | | יָצָא *it came out* | qatal · qal | מָתוֹק *a sweet \[thing\]* | | | | | **not** יָכְלוּ *they were able* | qatal · qal | | | | | | הַגִּיד *tell* | infinitive construct · hiphil | חִידָה *riddle* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
