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 — son, mother, founder, silver — and what happens in the verse to money, hundred pieces, pieces, founder, graven image, house, 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. וַיָּ֥שֶׁב אֶת־הַכֶּ֖סֶף לְאִמּ֑וֹ וַתִּקַּ֣ח אִמּוֹ֩ מָאתַ֨יִם כֶּ֜סֶף וַתִּתְּנֵ֣הוּ לַצּוֹרֵ֗ף וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ פֶּ֣סֶל וּמַסֵּכָ֔ה וַיְהִ֖י בְּבֵ֥ית מִיכָֽיְהוּ׃ [And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.507/) ## 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:474 # text = וַיָּ֥שֶׁב אֶת־הַכֶּ֖סֶף לְאִמּ֑וֹ וַתִּקַּ֣ח אִמּוֹ֩ מָאתַ֨יִם כֶּ֜סֶף וַתִּתְּנֵ֣הוּ לַצּוֹרֵ֗ף וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ פֶּ֣סֶל וּמַסֵּכָ֔ה וַיְהִ֖י בְּבֵ֥ית מִיכָֽיְהוּ׃ # verse = JDG.17.4 1-2 וַיָּ֥שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:4!1|MId=o070170040011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּ֥שֶׁב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.brought.back|Ref=JDG_17:4!1|MId=o070170040012|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:070170010021;A0:070170040032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_17:4!2|MId=o070170040021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַכֶּ֖סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_17:4!3|MId=o070170040031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 כֶּ֖סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=JDG_17:4!3|MId=o070170040032|Strong=3701 6-8 לְאִמּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_17:4!4|MId=o070170040041|Strong=3807a 7 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=mother|Ref=JDG_17:4!4|MId=o070170040042|Strong=0517 8 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_17:4!4|MId=o070170040043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וַתִּקַּ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:4!5|MId=o070170040051|Strong=2050b 10 תִּקַּ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.took|Ref=JDG_17:4!5|MId=o070170040052|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070170040061;A1:070170040081;|Type=wayyiqtol 11-12 אִמּוֹ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=mother|Ref=JDG_17:4!6|MId=o070170040061|Strong=0517 12 וֹ֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_17:4!6|MId=o070170040062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 מָאתַ֨יִם מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Dual 14 nummod _ Gloss=two.hundred|Ref=JDG_17:4!7|MId=o070170040071|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 14 כֶּ֜סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=JDG_17:4!8|MId=o070170040081|Strong=3701 15-17 וַתִּתְּנֵ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:4!9|MId=o070170040091|Strong=2050b 16 תִּתְּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she|Ref=JDG_17:4!9|MId=o070170040092|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070170040061;A1:070170040093;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 ֵ֣הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=gave.it|Ref=JDG_17:4!9|MId=o070170040093|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 18-20 לַצּוֹרֵ֗ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_17:4!10|MId=o070170040101|Strong=3807a 19 ה הַ SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_17:4!10|MId=o070170040101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 צּוֹרֵ֗ף צָרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 xcomp _ Gloss=silversmith|Ref=JDG_17:4!10|MId=o070170040102|Strong=6884|Type=participle_active 21-23 וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:4!11|MId=o070170040111|Strong=2050b 22 יַּעֲשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_17:4!11|MId=o070170040112|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070170040103;A1:070170040113;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 ֵ֙הוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=made.it|Ref=JDG_17:4!11|MId=o070170040113|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 24 פֶּ֣סֶל פֶּסֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 xcomp _ Gloss=a.carved.image|Ref=JDG_17:4!12|MId=o070170040121|Strong=6459 25-26 וּמַסֵּכָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:4!13|MId=o070170040131|Strong=2050b 26 מַסֵּכָ֔ה מַסֵּכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 conj _ Gloss=a.molten.image|Ref=JDG_17:4!13|MId=o070170040132|Strong=4541 27-28 וַיְהִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_17:4!14|MId=o070170040141|Strong=2050b 28 יְהִ֖י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JDG_17:4!14|MId=o070170040142|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:070170040121;070170040132;|Type=wayyiqtol 29-30 בְּבֵ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_17:4!15|MId=o070170040151|Strong=0871a 30 בֵ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JDG_17:4!15|MId=o070170040152|Strong=1004 31 מִיכָֽיְהוּ מִיכָיְהוּ PROPN _ _ 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Micaiah|Ref=JDG_17:4!16|MId=o070170040161|Strong=4321|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JDG_17:4!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
