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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to LORD, house, knife, hold, concubine, woman, 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. וַיָּבֹ֣א אֶל־בֵּית֗וֹ וַיִּקַּ֤ח אֶת־הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֙לֶת֙ וַיַּחֲזֵ֣ק בְּפִֽילַגְשׁ֔וֹ וַֽיְנַתְּחֶ֙הָ֙ לַעֲצָמֶ֔יהָ לִשְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר נְתָחִ֑ים וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֶ֔הָ בְּכֹ֖ל גְּב֥וּל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.578/) ## 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:543 # text = וַיָּבֹ֣א אֶל־בֵּית֗וֹ וַיִּקַּ֤ח אֶת־הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֙לֶת֙ וַיַּחֲזֵ֣ק בְּפִֽילַגְשׁ֔וֹ וַֽיְנַתְּחֶ֙הָ֙ לַעֲצָמֶ֔יהָ לִשְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר נְתָחִ֑ים וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֶ֔הָ בְּכֹ֖ל גְּב֥וּל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = JDG.19.29 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_19:29!1|MId=o070190290011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.came|Ref=JDG_19:29!1|MId=o070190290012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070190280112;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_19:29!2|MId=o070190290021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 בֵּית֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בֵּית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=JDG_19:29!3|MId=o070190290031|Strong=1004 5 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_19:29!3|MId=o070190290032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-7 וַיִּקַּ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_19:29!4|MId=o070190290041|Strong=2050b 7 יִּקַּ֤ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=JDG_19:29!4|MId=o070190290042|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070190280112;A1:070190290062;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_19:29!5|MId=o070190290051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֙לֶת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_19:29!6|MId=o070190290061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מַּאֲכֶ֙לֶת֙ מַאֲכֶלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=knife|Ref=JDG_19:29!6|MId=o070190290062|Strong=3979 11-12 וַיַּחֲזֵ֣ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_19:29!7|MId=o070190290071|Strong=2050b 12 יַּחֲזֵ֣ק חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took.hold|Ref=JDG_19:29!7|MId=o070190290072|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:070190280112;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-15 בְּפִֽילַגְשׁ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_19:29!8|MId=o070190290081|Strong=0871a 14 פִֽילַגְשׁ פִּלֶגֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=concubine|Ref=JDG_19:29!8|MId=o070190290082|Strong=6370 15 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_19:29!8|MId=o070190290083|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-18 וַֽיְנַתְּחֶ֙הָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_19:29!9|MId=o070190290091|Strong=2050b 17 יְנַתְּח נָתַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_19:29!9|MId=o070190290092|Strong=5408|Frame=A0:070190280112;A1:070190290093;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 ֶ֙הָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=cut.her.in.pieces|Ref=JDG_19:29!9|MId=o070190290093|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19-21 לַעֲצָמֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_19:29!10|MId=o070190290101|Strong=3807a 20 עֲצָמֶ֔י עֶצֶם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=bones|Ref=JDG_19:29!10|MId=o070190290102|Strong=6106 21 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=JDG_19:29!10|MId=o070190290103|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 22-23 לִשְׁנֵ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JDG_19:29!11|MId=o070190290111|Strong=3807a 23 שְׁנֵ֥ים שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 25 nummod _ Gloss=two.plus|Ref=JDG_19:29!11|MId=o070190290112|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 24 עָשָׂ֖ר עָשָׂר NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 flat _ Gloss=ten|Ref=JDG_19:29!12|MId=o070190290121|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 25 נְתָחִ֑ים נֵתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=pieces|Ref=JDG_19:29!13|MId=o070190290131|Strong=5409 26-28 וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֶ֔הָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_19:29!14|MId=o070190290141|Strong=2050b 27 יְשַׁלְּח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_19:29!14|MId=o070190290142|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:070190280112;A1:070190290143;|Type=wayyiqtol 28 ֶ֔הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=sent.her.out|Ref=JDG_19:29!14|MId=o070190290143|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 29-30 בְּכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_19:29!15|MId=o070190290151|Strong=0871a 30 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_19:29!15|MId=o070190290152|Strong=3605 31 גְּב֥וּל גְּבוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.territory|Ref=JDG_19:29!16|MId=o070190290161|Strong=1366 32 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_19:29!17|MId=o070190290171|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JDG_19:29!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
