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 — it, Samson, I, father — and what happens in the verse to wife, chamber, Samson, 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. וַיְהִ֨י מִיָּמִ֜ים בִּימֵ֣י קְצִיר־חִטִּ֗ים וַיִּפְקֹ֨ד שִׁמְשׁ֤וֹן אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ֙ בִּגְדִ֣י עִזִּ֔ים וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אָבֹ֥אָה אֶל־אִשְׁתִּ֖י הֶחָ֑דְרָה וְלֹֽא־נְתָנ֥וֹ אָבִ֖יהָ לָבֽוֹא׃ [But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said: 'I will go in to my wife into the chamber.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JDG:420 # text = וַיְהִ֨י מִיָּמִ֜ים בִּימֵ֣י קְצִיר־חִטִּ֗ים וַיִּפְקֹ֨ד שִׁמְשׁ֤וֹן אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ֙ בִּגְדִ֣י עִזִּ֔ים וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אָבֹ֥אָה אֶל־אִשְׁתִּ֖י הֶחָ֑דְרָה וְלֹֽא־נְתָנ֥וֹ אָבִ֖יהָ לָבֽוֹא׃ # verse = JDG.15.1 1-2 וַיְהִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_15:1!1|MId=o070150010011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֨י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JDG_15:1!1|MId=o070150010012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 מִיָּמִ֜ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_15:1!2|MId=o070150010021|Strong=4480 4 יָּמִ֜ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=JDG_15:1!2|MId=o070150010022|Strong=3117 5-6 בִּימֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=JDG_15:1!3|MId=o070150010031|Strong=0871a 6 ימֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=JDG_15:1!3|MId=o070150010032|Strong=3117 7 קְצִיר־ קָצִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].harvest|Ref=JDG_15:1!4|MId=o070150010041|Strong=7105|SpaceAfter=No 8 חִטִּ֗ים חִטָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wheat(s)|Ref=JDG_15:1!5|MId=o070150010051|Strong=2406 9-10 וַיִּפְקֹ֨ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_15:1!6|MId=o070150010061|Strong=2050b 10 יִּפְקֹ֨ד פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.visited|Ref=JDG_15:1!6|MId=o070150010062|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:070150010071;A1:070150010091;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 שִׁמְשׁ֤וֹן שִׁמְשׁוֹן PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Samson|Ref=JDG_15:1!7|MId=o070150010071|Strong=8123 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_15:1!8|MId=o070150010081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 אִשְׁתּוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אִשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=wife|Ref=JDG_15:1!9|MId=o070150010091|Strong=0802 14 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_15:1!9|MId=o070150010092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 בִּגְדִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_15:1!10|MId=o070150010101|Strong=0871a 16 גְדִ֣י גְּדִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=a.kid|Ref=JDG_15:1!10|MId=o070150010102|Strong=1423 17 עִזִּ֔ים עֵז NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.goats|Ref=JDG_15:1!11|MId=o070150010111|Strong=5795 18-19 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_15:1!12|MId=o070150010121|Strong=2050b 19 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_15:1!12|MId=o070150010122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070150010071;|Type=wayyiqtol 20 אָבֹ֥אָה בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 19 ccomp _ Gloss=let.me.go|Ref=JDG_15:1!13|MId=o070150010131|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070150010071;|Type=yiqtol 21 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JDG_15:1!14|MId=o070150010141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 אִשְׁתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אִשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=wife|Ref=JDG_15:1!15|MId=o070150010151|Strong=0802 23 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_15:1!15|MId=o070150010152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24-26 הֶחָ֑דְרָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_15:1!16|MId=o070150010161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 חָ֑דְר חֶדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_15:1!16|MId=o070150010162|Strong=2315 26 ָה ה X _ _ 25 nmod _ Gloss=chamber|Ref=JDG_15:1!16|MId=o070150010163|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 27-28 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_15:1!17|MId=o070150010171|Strong=2050b 28 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 29 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JDG_15:1!17|MId=o070150010172|Strong=3808|Type=negative 29-30 נְתָנ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 נְתָנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 20 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_15:1!18|MId=o070150010181|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:070150010182;A0:070150010191;|Type=qatal 30 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obj _ Gloss=permitted.him|Ref=JDG_15:1!18|MId=o070150010182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-32 אָבִ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 אָבִ֖י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=JDG_15:1!19|MId=o070150010191|Strong=0001 32 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=JDG_15:1!19|MId=o070150010192|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 33-34 לָבֽוֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_15:1!20|MId=o070150010201|Strong=3807a 34 בֽוֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 29 xcomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=JDG_15:1!20|MId=o070150010202|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070150010071;|Type=infinitive_construct 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=JDG_15:1!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
