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, children, these — and what happens in the verse to Benjamin, 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. וַיִּגֹּ֨ף יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶֽת־בִּנְיָמִן֮ לִפְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ בְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל בְּבִנְיָמִן֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא עֶשְׂרִ֨ים וַחֲמִשָּׁ֥ה אֶ֛לֶף וּמֵאָ֖ה אִ֑ישׁ כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה שֹׁ֥לֵף חָֽרֶב׃ [And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men; all these drew the sword.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.614/) ## 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:579 # text = וַיִּגֹּ֨ף יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶֽת־בִּנְיָמִן֮ לִפְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ בְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל בְּבִנְיָמִן֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא עֶשְׂרִ֨ים וַחֲמִשָּׁ֥ה אֶ֛לֶף וּמֵאָ֖ה אִ֑ישׁ כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה שֹׁ֥לֵף חָֽרֶב׃ # verse = JDG.20.35 1-2 וַיִּגֹּ֨ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:35!1|MId=o070200350011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּגֹּ֨ף נָגַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.defeated|Ref=JDG_20:35!1|MId=o070200350012|Strong=5062|Frame=A0:070200350021;A1:070200350041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_20:35!2|MId=o070200350021|Strong=3068 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=JDG_20:35!2 5 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_20:35!3|MId=o070200350031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 בִּנְיָמִן֮ בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Benjamin|Ref=JDG_20:35!4|MId=o070200350041|Strong=1144 7-8 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JDG_20:35!5|MId=o070200350051|Strong=3807a 8 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_20:35!5|MId=o070200350052|Strong=6440 9 יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=JDG_20:35!6|MId=o070200350061|Strong=3478 10-11 וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:35!7|MId=o070200350071|Strong=2050b 11 יַּשְׁחִיתוּ֩ שָׁחַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.destroyed|Ref=JDG_20:35!7|MId=o070200350072|Strong=7843|Frame=AA:070200350081;A0:070200350171;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 בְנֵ֨י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_20:35!8|MId=o070200350081|Strong=1121 13 יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_20:35!9|MId=o070200350091|Strong=3478 14-15 בְּבִנְיָמִן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=JDG_20:35!10|MId=o070200350101|Strong=0871a 15 בִנְיָמִן֙ בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Benjamin|Ref=JDG_20:35!10|MId=o070200350102|Strong=1144 16-18 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_20:35!11|MId=o070200350111|Strong=0871a 17 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_20:35!11|MId=o070200350111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JDG_20:35!11|MId=o070200350112|Strong=3117 19-20 הַה֔וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_20:35!12|MId=o070200350121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 ה֔וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=JDG_20:35!12|MId=o070200350122|Strong=1931|Type=personal 21 עֶשְׂרִ֨ים עֶשְׂרִים NUM _ Number=Plur 27 nummod _ Gloss=twenty|Ref=JDG_20:35!13|MId=o070200350131|Strong=6242|Type=cardinal_number 22-23 וַחֲמִשָּׁ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:35!14|MId=o070200350141|Strong=2050b 23 חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=five|Ref=JDG_20:35!14|MId=o070200350142|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 24 אֶ֛לֶף אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 21 flat _ Gloss=thousand|Ref=JDG_20:35!15|MId=o070200350151|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 25-26 וּמֵאָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_20:35!16|MId=o070200350161|Strong=2050b 26 מֵאָ֖ה מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=one.hundred|Ref=JDG_20:35!16|MId=o070200350162|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 27 אִ֑ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_20:35!17|MId=o070200350171|Strong=0376 28 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_20:35!18|MId=o070200350181|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 29 אֵ֖לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 28 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=JDG_20:35!19|MId=o070200350191|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 30 שֹׁ֥לֵף שָׁלַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[was.one.who].drew|Ref=JDG_20:35!20|MId=o070200350201|Strong=8025|Frame=A0:070200350191;A1:070200350211;|Type=participle_active 31 חָֽרֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 30 obj _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=JDG_20:35!21|MId=o070200350211|Strong=2719|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JDG_20:35!21 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּגֹּף *he defeated* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | בִּנְיָמִן *Benjamin* | | | | יַּשְׁחִיתוּ *they destroyed* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | אִישׁ *man* | | | בְנֵי *the people* | | שֹׁלֵף *\[was one who\] drew* | participle active · qal | אֵלֶּה *these* | חָֽרֶב *a sword* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
