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 — children, angry fellows, thou — and what happens in the verse to voice, life, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ אֵלָיו֙ בְּנֵי־דָ֔ן אַל־תַּשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלְךָ֖ עִמָּ֑נוּ פֶּֽן־יִפְגְּע֣וּ בָכֶ֗ם אֲנָשִׁים֙ מָ֣רֵי נֶ֔פֶשׁ וְאָסַפְתָּ֥ה נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ׃ [And the children of Dan said unto him: 'Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.542/) ## 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:508 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ אֵלָיו֙ בְּנֵי־דָ֔ן אַל־תַּשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלְךָ֖ עִמָּ֑נוּ פֶּֽן־יִפְגְּע֣וּ בָכֶ֗ם אֲנָשִׁים֙ מָ֣רֵי נֶ֔פֶשׁ וְאָסַפְתָּ֥ה נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ׃ # verse = JDG.18.25 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:25!1|MId=o070180250011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֤וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JDG_18:25!1|MId=o070180250012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070180250031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_18:25!2|MId=o070180250021|Strong=0413 4 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_18:25!2|MId=o070180250022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 בְּנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.descendants|Ref=JDG_18:25!3|MId=o070180250031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6 דָ֔ן דָּן PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Dan|Ref=JDG_18:25!4|MId=o070180250041|Strong=1835 7 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=JDG_18:25!5|MId=o070180250051|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 8 תַּשְׁמַ֥ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=make.heard|Ref=JDG_18:25!6|MId=o070180250061|Strong=8085|Frame=AA:070180230082;A0:070180250071;|Type=jussive 9-10 קוֹלְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 קוֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=voice|Ref=JDG_18:25!7|MId=o070180250071|Strong=6963 10 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_18:25!7|MId=o070180250072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-12 עִמָּ֑נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_18:25!8|MId=o070180250081|Strong=5973 12 ָ֑נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=JDG_18:25!8|MId=o070180250082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13 פֶּֽן־ פֶּן SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=lest|Ref=JDG_18:25!9|MId=o070180250091|Strong=6435|SpaceAfter=No 14 יִפְגְּע֣וּ פָּגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 advcl _ Gloss=they.should.fall|Ref=JDG_18:25!10|MId=o070180250101|Strong=6293|Frame=A0:070180250121;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 בָכֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_18:25!11|MId=o070180250111|Strong=0871a 16 ָכֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_18:25!11|MId=o070180250112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17 אֲנָשִׁים֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=JDG_18:25!12|MId=o070180250121|Strong=0376 18 מָ֣רֵי מַר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 amod _ Gloss=bitter|Ref=JDG_18:25!13|MId=o070180250131|Strong=4751|Type=adjective 19 נֶ֔פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.self|Ref=JDG_18:25!14|MId=o070180250141|Strong=5315 20-21 וְאָסַפְתָּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:25!15|MId=o070180250151|Strong=2050b 21 אָסַפְתָּ֥ה אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you.will.gather|Ref=JDG_18:25!15|MId=o070180250152|Strong=0622|Frame=A0:070180230082;A1:070180250161;070180250172;|Type=weqatal 22-23 נַפְשְׁךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=life|Ref=JDG_18:25!16|MId=o070180250161|Strong=5315 23 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_18:25!16|MId=o070180250162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-25 וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_18:25!17|MId=o070180250171|Strong=2050b 25 נֶ֥פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=the.life|Ref=JDG_18:25!17|MId=o070180250172|Strong=5315 26-27 בֵּיתֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בֵּית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.household|Ref=JDG_18:25!18|MId=o070180250181|Strong=1004 27 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_18:25!18|MId=o070180250182|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JDG_18:25!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי־ *the descendants* | | | | | **not** תַּשְׁמַע *make heard* | jussive · hiphil | קוֹל *voice* | | | | | יִפְגְּעוּ *they should fall* | yiqtol · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | אָסַפְתָּה *you will gather* | weqatal · qal | | נַפְשׁ *life* + נֶפֶשׁ *the life* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
