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 — these, priest, ye — and what happens in the verse to house, graven image, ephod, 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. וְאֵ֗לֶּה בָּ֚אוּ בֵּ֣ית מִיכָ֔ה וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אֶת־פֶּ֣סֶל הָאֵפ֔וֹד וְאֶת־הַתְּרָפִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמַּסֵּכָ֑ה וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן מָ֥ה אַתֶּ֖ם עֹשִֽׂים׃ [And when these went into Micah's house, and fetched the graven image of the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said unto them: 'What do ye?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.534/) ## 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:501 # text = וְאֵ֗לֶּה בָּ֚אוּ בֵּ֣ית מִיכָ֔ה וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אֶת־פֶּ֣סֶל הָאֵפ֔וֹד וְאֶת־הַתְּרָפִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמַּסֵּכָ֑ה וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן מָ֥ה אַתֶּ֖ם עֹשִֽׂים׃ # verse = JDG.18.18 1-2 וְאֵ֗לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:18!1|MId=o070180180011|Strong=2050b 2 אֵ֗לֶּה אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 3 nsubj _ Gloss=these.[men]|Ref=JDG_18:18!1|MId=o070180180012|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 3 בָּ֚אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=JDG_18:18!2|MId=o070180180021|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070180180012;|Type=qatal 4 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JDG_18:18!3|MId=o070180180031|Strong=1004 5 מִיכָ֔ה מִיכָה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Micah|Ref=JDG_18:18!4|MId=o070180180041|Strong=4318 6-7 וַיִּקְחוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:18!5|MId=o070180180051|Strong=2050b 7 יִּקְחוּ֙ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.took|Ref=JDG_18:18!5|MId=o070180180052|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070180170032;A1:070180180071;070180180102;070180180122;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_18:18!6|MId=o070180180061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 פֶּ֣סֶל פֶּסֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=the.carved.image|Ref=JDG_18:18!7|MId=o070180180071|Strong=6459 10-11 הָאֵפ֔וֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_18:18!8|MId=o070180180081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אֵפ֔וֹד אֵפֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ephod|Ref=JDG_18:18!8|MId=o070180180082|Strong=0646 12-13 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:18!9|MId=o070180180091|Strong=2050b 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_18:18!9|MId=o070180180092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14-15 הַתְּרָפִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_18:18!10|MId=o070180180101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 תְּרָפִ֖ים תְּרָפִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 conj _ Gloss=teraphim|Ref=JDG_18:18!10|MId=o070180180102|Strong=8655 16-17 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:18!11|MId=o070180180111|Strong=2050b 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_18:18!11|MId=o070180180112|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18-19 הַמַּסֵּכָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the.molten|Ref=JDG_18:18!12|MId=o070180180121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מַּסֵּכָ֑ה מַסֵּכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=image|Ref=JDG_18:18!12|MId=o070180180122|Strong=4541 20-21 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:18!13|MId=o070180180131|Strong=2050b 21 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_18:18!13|MId=o070180180132|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070180180152;|Type=wayyiqtol 22-23 אֲלֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_18:18!14|MId=o070180180141|Strong=0413 23 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_18:18!14|MId=o070180180142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-25 הַכֹּהֵ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_18:18!15|MId=o070180180151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 כֹּהֵ֔ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=priest|Ref=JDG_18:18!15|MId=o070180180152|Strong=3548 26 מָ֥ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 28 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=JDG_18:18!16|MId=o070180180161|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 27 אַתֶּ֖ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=JDG_18:18!17|MId=o070180180171|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 28 עֹשִֽׂים עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 21 ccomp _ Gloss=doing|Ref=JDG_18:18!18|MId=o070180180181|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:070180180161;A0:070180180171;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JDG_18:18!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּאוּ *they went* | qatal · qal | אֵלֶּה *these \[men\]* | | | | | יִּקְחוּ *they took* | wayyiqtol · qal | | פֶּסֶל *the carved image* + תְּרָפִים *teraphim* + מַּסֵּכָה *image* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | כֹּהֵן *priest* | | | | | עֹשִֽׂים *doing* | participle active · qal | אַתֶּם *\[are\] you* | מָה *what?* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
