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, young lion — and what happens in the verse to Timnah, vineyards, 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. וַיֵּ֧רֶד שִׁמְשׁ֛וֹן וְאָבִ֥יו וְאִמּ֖וֹ תִּמְנָ֑תָה וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ עַד־כַּרְמֵ֣י תִמְנָ֔תָה וְהִנֵּה֙ כְּפִ֣יר אֲרָי֔וֹת שֹׁאֵ֖ג לִקְרָאתֽוֹ׃ [Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and, behold, a young lion roared against him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.429/) ## 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:404 # text = וַיֵּ֧רֶד שִׁמְשׁ֛וֹן וְאָבִ֥יו וְאִמּ֖וֹ תִּמְנָ֑תָה וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ עַד־כַּרְמֵ֣י תִמְנָ֔תָה וְהִנֵּה֙ כְּפִ֣יר אֲרָי֔וֹת שֹׁאֵ֖ג לִקְרָאתֽוֹ׃ # verse = JDG.14.5 1-2 וַיֵּ֧רֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:5!1|MId=o070140050011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּ֧רֶד יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went.down|Ref=JDG_14:5!1|MId=o070140050012|Strong=3381|Frame=A0:070140050021;070140050032;070140050042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שִׁמְשׁ֛וֹן שִׁמְשׁוֹן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Samson|Ref=JDG_14:5!2|MId=o070140050021|Strong=8123 4-6 וְאָבִ֥יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:5!3|MId=o070140050031|Strong=2050b 5 אָבִ֥י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=father|Ref=JDG_14:5!3|MId=o070140050032|Strong=0001 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_14:5!3|MId=o070140050033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-9 וְאִמּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:5!4|MId=o070140050041|Strong=2050b 8 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=mother|Ref=JDG_14:5!4|MId=o070140050042|Strong=0517 9 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_14:5!4|MId=o070140050043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-11 תִּמְנָ֑תָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 תִּמְנָ֑ת תִּמְנָה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:5!5|MId=o070140050051|Strong=8553 11 ָה ה X _ _ 10 nmod _ Gloss=Timnah|Ref=JDG_14:5!5|MId=o070140050052|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 12-13 וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:5!6|MId=o070140050061|Strong=2050b 13 יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=JDG_14:5!6|MId=o070140050062|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070140050021;070140050032;070140050042;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:5!7|MId=o070140050071|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 15 כַּרְמֵ֣י כֶּרֶם NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=the.vineyards|Ref=JDG_14:5!8|MId=o070140050081|Strong=3754 16-17 תִמְנָ֔תָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 תִמְנָ֔ת תִּמְנָה PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.(to)|Ref=JDG_14:5!9|MId=o070140050091|Strong=8553 17 ָה ה X _ _ 16 nmod _ Gloss=Timnah|Ref=JDG_14:5!9|MId=o070140050092|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 18-19 וְהִנֵּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_14:5!10|MId=o070140050101|Strong=2050b 19 הִנֵּה֙ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 22 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=JDG_14:5!10|MId=o070140050102|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 20 כְּפִ֣יר כְּפִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=a.young.lion|Ref=JDG_14:5!11|MId=o070140050111|Strong=3715 21 אֲרָי֔וֹת אֲרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.lions|Ref=JDG_14:5!12|MId=o070140050121|Strong=0738 22 שֹׁאֵ֖ג שָׁאַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].roaring|Ref=JDG_14:5!13|MId=o070140050131|Strong=7580|Frame=A0:070140050111;|Type=participle_active 23-25 לִקְרָאתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_14:5!14|MId=o070140050141|Strong=3807a 24 קְרָאת קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 22 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=JDG_14:5!14|MId=o070140050142|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:070140050111;A1:070140050143;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_14:5!14|MId=o070140050143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JDG_14:5!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּרֶד *he went down* | wayyiqtol · qal | שִׁמְשׁוֹן *Samson* + אָבִי *father* + אִמּ *mother* | | | | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | שִׁמְשׁוֹן *Samson* + אָבִי *father* + אִמּ *mother* | | | | | שֹׁאֵג *\[was\] roaring* | participle active · qal | כְּפִיר *a young lion* | | | | | קְרָאת *meet* | infinitive construct · qal | כְּפִיר *a young lion* | ֽוֹ *him* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
