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 — house, lords, thousand men, Samson — and what happens in the verse to roof, sport, 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. וְהַבַּ֗יִת מָלֵ֤א הָֽאֲנָשִׁים֙ וְהַנָּשִׁ֔ים וְשָׁ֕מָּה כֹּ֖ל סַרְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וְעַל־הַגָּ֗ג כִּשְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת אֲלָפִים֙ אִ֣ישׁ וְאִשָּׁ֔ה הָרֹאִ֖ים בִּשְׂח֥וֹק שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן׃ [Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.497/) ## 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:466 # text = וְהַבַּ֗יִת מָלֵ֤א הָֽאֲנָשִׁים֙ וְהַנָּשִׁ֔ים וְשָׁ֕מָּה כֹּ֖ל סַרְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וְעַל־הַגָּ֗ג כִּשְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת אֲלָפִים֙ אִ֣ישׁ וְאִשָּׁ֔ה הָרֹאִ֖ים בִּשְׂח֥וֹק שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן׃ # verse = JDG.16.27 1-3 וְהַבַּ֗יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_16:27!1|MId=o070160270011|Strong=2050b 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_16:27!1|MId=o070160270012|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 בַּ֗יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=house|Ref=JDG_16:27!1|MId=o070160270013|Strong=1004 4 מָלֵ֤א מָלֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=[was].full|Ref=JDG_16:27!2|MId=o070160270021|Strong=4390|Type=qatal 5-6 הָֽאֲנָשִׁים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_16:27!3|MId=o070160270031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אֲנָשִׁים֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=men|Ref=JDG_16:27!3|MId=o070160270032|Strong=0376 7-9 וְהַנָּשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_16:27!4|MId=o070160270041|Strong=2050b 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_16:27!4|MId=o070160270042|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 נָּשִׁ֔ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=women|Ref=JDG_16:27!4|MId=o070160270043|Strong=0802 10-12 וְשָׁ֕מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and.[were]|Ref=JDG_16:27!5|MId=o070160270051|Strong=2050b 11 שָׁ֕מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=there|Ref=JDG_16:27!5|MId=o070160270052|Strong=8033 12 ָה ה X _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JDG_16:27!5|MId=o070160270053|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 13 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_16:27!6|MId=o070160270061|Strong=3605 14 סַרְנֵ֣י סֶרֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.rulers|Ref=JDG_16:27!7|MId=o070160270071|Strong=5633 15 פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים פְּלִשְׁתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].Philistines|Ref=JDG_16:27!8|MId=o070160270081|Strong=6430|Type=gentilic 16-17 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and.[were]|Ref=JDG_16:27!9|MId=o070160270091|Strong=2050b 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_16:27!9|MId=o070160270092|Strong=5921 18-19 הַגָּ֗ג _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_16:27!10|MId=o070160270101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 גָּ֗ג גָּג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=roof|Ref=JDG_16:27!10|MId=o070160270102|Strong=1406 20-21 כִּשְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=about|Ref=JDG_16:27!11|MId=o070160270111|Strong=3509a 21 שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=JDG_16:27!11|MId=o070160270112|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 22 אֲלָפִים֙ אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Plur 21 flat _ Gloss=thousand(s)|Ref=JDG_16:27!12|MId=o070160270121|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 23 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_16:27!13|MId=o070160270131|Strong=0376 24-25 וְאִשָּׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_16:27!14|MId=o070160270141|Strong=2050b 25 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 conj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=JDG_16:27!14|MId=o070160270142|Strong=0802 26-27 הָרֹאִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=JDG_16:27!15|MId=o070160270151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 רֹאִ֖ים רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 23 appos _ Gloss=were].looking|Ref=JDG_16:27!15|MId=o070160270152|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:070160270131;070160270142;|Type=participle_active 28-29 בִּשְׂח֥וֹק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=JDG_16:27!16|MId=o070160270161|Strong=0871a 29 שְׂח֥וֹק שָׂחַק VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 27 advcl _ Gloss=sported|Ref=JDG_16:27!16|MId=o070160270162|Strong=7832|Frame=A0:070160270171;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן שִׁמְשׁוֹן PROPN _ _ 29 nsubj _ Gloss=Samson|Ref=JDG_16:27!17|MId=o070160270171|Strong=8123|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JDG_16:27!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רֹאִים *were\] looking* | participle active · qal | אִישׁ *man* + אִשָּׁה *woman* | | | | | שְׂחוֹק *sported* | infinitive construct · qal | שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן *Samson* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
