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 — people — and what happens in the verse to Beth el, voices, 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. וַיָּבֹ֤א הָעָם֙ בֵּֽית־אֵ֔לבֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיֵּ֤שְׁבוּ שָׁם֙ עַד־הָעֶ֔רֶב לִפְנֵ֖י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ קוֹלָ֔ם וַיִּבְכּ֖וּ בְּכִ֥י גָדֽוֹל׃ [And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.630/) ## 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:594 # text = וַיָּבֹ֤א הָעָם֙ בֵּֽית־אֵ֔לבֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיֵּ֤שְׁבוּ שָׁם֙ עַד־הָעֶ֔רֶב לִפְנֵ֖י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ קוֹלָ֔ם וַיִּבְכּ֖וּ בְּכִ֥י גָדֽוֹל׃ # verse = JDG.21.2 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_21:2!1|MId=o070210020011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֤א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=JDG_21:2!1|MId=o070210020012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070210020022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הָעָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_21:2!2|MId=o070210020021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 עָם֙ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=JDG_21:2!2|MId=o070210020022|Strong=5971 5-6 בֵּֽית־אֵ֔לבֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל בֵּית־אֵל PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Bethel|Ref=JDG_21:2!3|MId=o070210020031 6 בֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל בֵּיתְאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Bethel|Ref=JDG_21:2!4|MId=o070210020041 7-8 וַיֵּ֤שְׁבוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_21:2!5|MId=o070210020051|Strong=2050b 8 יֵּ֤שְׁבוּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.sat|Ref=JDG_21:2!5|MId=o070210020052|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:070210020022;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 שָׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JDG_21:2!6|MId=o070210020061|Strong=8033 10 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JDG_21:2!7|MId=o070210020071|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הָעֶ֔רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_21:2!8|MId=o070210020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 עֶ֔רֶב עֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=evening|Ref=JDG_21:2!8|MId=o070210020082|Strong=6153 13-14 לִפְנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JDG_21:2!9|MId=o070210020091|Strong=3807a 14 פְנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_21:2!9|MId=o070210020092|Strong=6440 15-16 הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_21:2!10|MId=o070210020101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=JDG_21:2!10|MId=o070210020102|Strong=0430 17-18 וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_21:2!11|MId=o070210020111|Strong=2050b 18 יִּשְׂא֣וּ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.lifted.up|Ref=JDG_21:2!11|MId=o070210020112|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:070210020022;A1:070210020111;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 קוֹלָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 קוֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=voice|Ref=JDG_21:2!12|MId=o070210020121|Strong=6963 20 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_21:2!12|MId=o070210020122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21-22 וַיִּבְכּ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_21:2!13|MId=o070210020131|Strong=2050b 22 יִּבְכּ֖וּ בָּכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 conj _ Gloss=they.wept|Ref=JDG_21:2!13|MId=o070210020132|Strong=1058|Frame=A0:070210020022;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 בְּכִ֥י בְּכִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=weeping|Ref=JDG_21:2!14|MId=o070210020141|Strong=1065 24 גָדֽוֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=JDG_21:2!15|MId=o070210020151|Strong=1419|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JDG_21:2!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹא *it came* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | יֵּשְׁבוּ *they sat* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | יִּשְׂאוּ *they lifted up* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | וַ *and* | | | | יִּבְכּוּ *they wept* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
