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 — Benjamin, these — and what happens in the verse to Gibeah, thousand men, sword, 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. וַיֵּצֵא֩ בִנְיָמִ֨ן ׀ לִקְרָאתָ֥ם ׀ מִֽן־הַגִּבְעָה֮ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשֵּׁנִי֒ וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ בִבְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל ע֗וֹד שְׁמֹנַ֨ת עָשָׂ֥ר אֶ֛לֶף אִ֖ישׁ אָ֑רְצָה כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה שֹׁ֥לְפֵי חָֽרֶב׃ [And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.604/) ## 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:569 # text = וַיֵּצֵא֩ בִנְיָמִ֨ן ׀ לִקְרָאתָ֥ם ׀ מִֽן־הַגִּבְעָה֮ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשֵּׁנִי֒ וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ בִבְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל ע֗וֹד שְׁמֹנַ֨ת עָשָׂ֥ר אֶ֛לֶף אִ֖ישׁ אָ֑רְצָה כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה שֹׁ֥לְפֵי חָֽרֶב׃ # verse = JDG.20.25 1-2 וַיֵּצֵא֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:25!1|MId=o070200250011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּצֵא֩ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.went.out|Ref=JDG_20:25!1|MId=o070200250012|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:070200250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בִנְיָמִ֨ן בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Benjamin|Ref=JDG_20:25!2|MId=o070200250021|Strong=1144 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=JDG_20:25!2 5-7 לִקְרָאתָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_20:25!3|MId=o070200250031|Strong=3807a 6 קְרָאת קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=JDG_20:25!3|MId=o070200250032|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:070200250021;A1:070200250033;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 ָ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_20:25!3|MId=o070200250033|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 7 punct _ Ref=JDG_20:25!3 9 מִֽן־ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_20:25!4|MId=o070200250041|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 הַגִּבְעָה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_20:25!5|MId=o070200250051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 גִּבְעָה֮ גִּבְעָה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Gibeah|Ref=JDG_20:25!5|MId=o070200250052|Strong=1390 12-14 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_20:25!6|MId=o070200250061|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_20:25!6|MId=o070200250061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JDG_20:25!6|MId=o070200250062|Strong=3117 15-16 הַשֵּׁנִי֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_20:25!7|MId=o070200250071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שֵּׁנִי֒ שֵׁנִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=second|Ref=JDG_20:25!7|MId=o070200250072|Strong=8145|Type=ordinal_number 17-18 וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:25!8|MId=o070200250081|Strong=2050b 18 יַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ שָׁחַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.destroyed|Ref=JDG_20:25!8|MId=o070200250082|Strong=7843|Frame=AA:070200250021;A0:070200250151;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 בִבְנֵ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=JDG_20:25!9|MId=o070200250091|Strong=0871a 20 בְנֵ֨י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_20:25!9|MId=o070200250092|Strong=1121 21 יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_20:25!10|MId=o070200250101|Strong=3478 22 ע֗וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=JDG_20:25!11|MId=o070200250111|Strong=5750 23 שְׁמֹנַ֨ת שְׁמֹנֶה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nummod _ Gloss=eight-|Ref=JDG_20:25!12|MId=o070200250121|Strong=8083|Type=cardinal_number 24 עָשָׂ֥ר עָשָׂר NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 flat _ Gloss=teen|Ref=JDG_20:25!13|MId=o070200250131|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 25 אֶ֛לֶף אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 23 flat _ Gloss=thousand|Ref=JDG_20:25!14|MId=o070200250141|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 26 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_20:25!15|MId=o070200250151|Strong=0376 27-28 אָ֑רְצָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 אָ֑רְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=ground|Ref=JDG_20:25!16|MId=o070200250161|Strong=0776 28 ָה ה X _ _ 27 nmod _ Gloss=to.[the]|Ref=JDG_20:25!16|MId=o070200250162|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 29 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_20:25!17|MId=o070200250171|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 30 אֵ֖לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 29 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=JDG_20:25!18|MId=o070200250181|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 31 שֹׁ֥לְפֵי שָׁלַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[were].drawers|Ref=JDG_20:25!19|MId=o070200250191|Strong=8025|Frame=A0:070200250151;A1:070200250201;|Type=participle_active 32 חָֽרֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.sword|Ref=JDG_20:25!20|MId=o070200250201|Strong=2719|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JDG_20:25!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
