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 — heart, priest — and what happens in the verse to ephod, midst, 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. וַיִּיטַב֙ לֵ֣ב הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וַיִּקַּח֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֵפ֔וֹד וְאֶת־הַתְּרָפִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַפָּ֑סֶל וַיָּבֹ֖א בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָעָֽם׃ [And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.536/) ## 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:503 # text = וַיִּיטַב֙ לֵ֣ב הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וַיִּקַּח֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֵפ֔וֹד וְאֶת־הַתְּרָפִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַפָּ֑סֶל וַיָּבֹ֖א בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָעָֽם׃ # verse = JDG.18.20 1-2 וַיִּיטַב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:20!1|MId=o070180200011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּיטַב֙ יָטַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was.good|Ref=JDG_18:20!1|MId=o070180200012|Strong=3190|Frame=A0:070180200021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 לֵ֣ב לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.heart|Ref=JDG_18:20!2|MId=o070180200021|Strong=3820 4-5 הַכֹּהֵ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_18:20!3|MId=o070180200031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 כֹּהֵ֔ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.priest|Ref=JDG_18:20!3|MId=o070180200032|Strong=3548 6-7 וַיִּקַּח֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:20!4|MId=o070180200041|Strong=2050b 7 יִּקַּח֙ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=JDG_18:20!4|MId=o070180200042|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070180200032;A1:070180200062;070180200082;070180200102;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_18:20!5|MId=o070180200051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָ֣אֵפ֔וֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_18:20!6|MId=o070180200061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אֵפ֔וֹד אֵפֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=ephod|Ref=JDG_18:20!6|MId=o070180200062|Strong=0646 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:20!7|MId=o070180200071|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_18:20!7|MId=o070180200072|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13-14 הַתְּרָפִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_18:20!8|MId=o070180200081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 תְּרָפִ֖ים תְּרָפִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=teraphim|Ref=JDG_18:20!8|MId=o070180200082|Strong=8655 15-16 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:20!9|MId=o070180200091|Strong=2050b 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_18:20!9|MId=o070180200092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17-18 הַפָּ֑סֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the.carved|Ref=JDG_18:20!10|MId=o070180200101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 פָּ֑סֶל פֶּסֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=image|Ref=JDG_18:20!10|MId=o070180200102|Strong=6459 19-20 וַיָּבֹ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:20!11|MId=o070180200111|Strong=2050b 20 יָּבֹ֖א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=JDG_18:20!11|MId=o070180200112|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070180200032;|Type=wayyiqtol 21-22 בְּקֶ֥רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_18:20!12|MId=o070180200121|Strong=0871a 22 קֶ֥רֶב קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=JDG_18:20!12|MId=o070180200122|Strong=7130 23-24 הָעָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_18:20!13|MId=o070180200131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 עָֽם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_18:20!13|MId=o070180200132|Strong=5971 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JDG_18:20!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּיטַב *it was good* | wayyiqtol · qal | לֵב *the heart* | | | | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | כֹּהֵן *the priest* | אֵפוֹד *ephod* + תְּרָפִים *teraphim* + פָּסֶל *image* | | | | יָּבֹא *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | כֹּהֵן *the priest* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
