# Judges 21:22 שֹׁפְטִים

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** land, fathers, we, ye · **What happens:** be, come, strive, say, grant, not take · **To what, where:** vineyards, wife, battle · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Judges 21:22 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — land, fathers, we, ye — and what happens in the verse to vineyards, wife, battle, 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.

[And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to strive with us, that we will say unto them: Grant them graciously unto us; because we took not for each man of them his wife in battle; neither did ye give them unto them, that ye should now be guilty.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.650/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
