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 — Levite, young man — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַיּ֥וֹאֶל הַלֵּוִ֖י לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אֶת־הָאִ֑ישׁ וַיְהִ֤י הַנַּ֙עַר֙ ל֔וֹ כְּאַחַ֖ד מִבָּנָֽיו׃ [And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.514/) ## 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:481 # text = וַיּ֥וֹאֶל הַלֵּוִ֖י לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אֶת־הָאִ֑ישׁ וַיְהִ֤י הַנַּ֙עַר֙ ל֔וֹ כְּאַחַ֖ד מִבָּנָֽיו׃ # verse = JDG.17.11 1-2 וַיּ֥וֹאֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:11!1|MId=o070170110011|Strong=2050b 2 יּ֥וֹאֶל יָאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was.willing|Ref=JDG_17:11!1|MId=o070170110012|Strong=2974|Frame=A0:070170110022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַלֵּוִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_17:11!2|MId=o070170110021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 לֵּוִ֖י לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Levite|Ref=JDG_17:11!2|MId=o070170110022|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 5-6 לָשֶׁ֣בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_17:11!3|MId=o070170110031|Strong=3807a 6 שֶׁ֣בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=dwell|Ref=JDG_17:11!3|MId=o070170110032|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:070170110022;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_17:11!4|MId=o070170110041|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הָאִ֑ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_17:11!5|MId=o070170110051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אִ֑ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_17:11!5|MId=o070170110052|Strong=0376 10-11 וַיְהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:11!6|MId=o070170110061|Strong=2050b 11 יְהִ֤י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=JDG_17:11!6|MId=o070170110062|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:070170110072;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 הַנַּ֙עַר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the.young|Ref=JDG_17:11!7|MId=o070170110071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 נַּ֙עַר֙ נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_17:11!7|MId=o070170110072|Strong=5288 14-15 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 ל לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_17:11!8|MId=o070170110081|Strong=3807a 15 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_17:11!8|MId=o070170110082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-17 כְּאַחַ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JDG_17:11!9|MId=o070170110091|Strong=3509a 17 אַחַ֖ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=one|Ref=JDG_17:11!9|MId=o070170110092|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 18-20 מִבָּנָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_17:11!10|MId=o070170110101|Strong=4480 19 בָּנָֽי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 nmod _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JDG_17:11!10|MId=o070170110102|Strong=1121 20 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_17:11!10|MId=o070170110103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=JDG_17:11!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יּוֹאֶל *he was willing* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | לֵּוִי *Levite* | | | | | שֶׁבֶת *dwell* | infinitive construct · qal | לֵּוִי *Levite* | | | | | יְהִי *he was* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַּעַר *man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
