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 — men, thousand men, these — and what happens in the verse to thousand men, sword, men, 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. וְאִ֨ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל הִתְפָּֽקְד֗וּ לְבַד֙ מִבִּנְיָמִ֔ן אַרְבַּ֨ע מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֛לֶף אִ֖ישׁ שֹׁ֣לֵֽף חָ֑רֶב כָּל־זֶ֖ה אִ֥ישׁ מִלְחָמָֽה׃ [And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.596/) ## 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:561 # text = וְאִ֨ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל הִתְפָּֽקְד֗וּ לְבַד֙ מִבִּנְיָמִ֔ן אַרְבַּ֨ע מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֛לֶף אִ֖ישׁ שֹׁ֣לֵֽף חָ֑רֶב כָּל־זֶ֖ה אִ֥ישׁ מִלְחָמָֽה׃ # verse = JDG.20.17 1-2 וְאִ֨ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:17!1|MId=o070200170011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֨ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=JDG_20:17!1|MId=o070200170012|Strong=0376 3 יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_20:17!2|MId=o070200170021|Strong=3478 4 הִתְפָּֽקְד֗וּ פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.were.mustered|Ref=JDG_20:17!3|MId=o070200170031|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:070200170012;|Type=qatal 5-6 לְבַד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=apart|Ref=JDG_20:17!4|MId=o070200170041|Strong=3807a 6 בַד֙ בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_20:17!4|MId=o070200170042|Strong=0905 7-8 מִבִּנְיָמִ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_20:17!5|MId=o070200170051|Strong=4480 8 בִּנְיָמִ֔ן בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 6 nmod _ Gloss=Benjamin|Ref=JDG_20:17!5|MId=o070200170052|Strong=1144 9 אַרְבַּ֨ע אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 nummod _ Gloss=four|Ref=JDG_20:17!6|MId=o070200170061|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 10 מֵא֥וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 9 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=JDG_20:17!7|MId=o070200170071|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 11 אֶ֛לֶף אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 9 flat _ Gloss=thousand|Ref=JDG_20:17!8|MId=o070200170081|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 12 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 appos _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_20:17!9|MId=o070200170091|Strong=0376 13 שֹׁ֣לֵֽף שָׁלַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[who].drew|Ref=JDG_20:17!10|MId=o070200170101|Strong=8025|Frame=A0:070200170091;A1:070200170111;|Type=participle_active 14 חָ֑רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=JDG_20:17!11|MId=o070200170111|Strong=2719 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_20:17!12|MId=o070200170121|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 16 זֶ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 15 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_20:17!13|MId=o070200170131|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 17 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=[was].man|Ref=JDG_20:17!14|MId=o070200170141|Strong=0376 18 מִלְחָמָֽה מִלְחָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.war|Ref=JDG_20:17!15|MId=o070200170151|Strong=4421|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=JDG_20:17!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִתְפָּֽקְדוּ *they were mustered* | qatal · hithpael | אִישׁ *the man* | | | | | שֹׁלֵֽף *\[who\] drew* | participle active · qal | אִישׁ *man* | חָרֶב *a sword* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
