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 — children — and what happens in the verse to people, one tribe, Israel, 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. וַיִּנָּֽחֲמוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶל־בִּנְיָמִ֖ן אָחִ֑יו וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ נִגְדַּ֥ע הַיּ֛וֹם שֵׁ֥בֶט אֶחָ֖ד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said: 'There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.634/) ## 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:598 # text = וַיִּנָּֽחֲמוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶל־בִּנְיָמִ֖ן אָחִ֑יו וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ נִגְדַּ֥ע הַיּ֛וֹם שֵׁ֥בֶט אֶחָ֖ד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = JDG.21.6 1-2 וַיִּנָּֽחֲמוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_21:6!1|MId=o070210060011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּנָּֽחֲמוּ֙ נָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.had.compassion|Ref=JDG_21:6!1|MId=o070210060012|Strong=5162|Frame=A0:070210060021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_21:6!2|MId=o070210060021|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_21:6!3|MId=o070210060031|Strong=3478 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_21:6!4|MId=o070210060041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 בִּנְיָמִ֖ן בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Benjamin|Ref=JDG_21:6!5|MId=o070210060051|Strong=1144 7-8 אָחִ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אָחִ֑י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=JDG_21:6!6|MId=o070210060061|Strong=0251 8 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JDG_21:6!6|MId=o070210060062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_21:6!7|MId=o070210060071|Strong=2050b 10 יֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JDG_21:6!7|MId=o070210060072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070210060021;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 נִגְדַּ֥ע גָּדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 ccomp _ Gloss=it.has.been.cut.off|Ref=JDG_21:6!8|MId=o070210060081|Strong=1438|Frame=A1:070210060101;|Type=qatal 12-13 הַיּ֛וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_21:6!9|MId=o070210060091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 יּ֛וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JDG_21:6!9|MId=o070210060092|Strong=3117 14 שֵׁ֥בֶט שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=a.tribe|Ref=JDG_21:6!10|MId=o070210060101|Strong=7626 15 אֶחָ֖ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=JDG_21:6!11|MId=o070210060111|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 16-17 מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_21:6!12|MId=o070210060121|Strong=4480 17 יִּשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=JDG_21:6!12|MId=o070210060122|Strong=3478 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=JDG_21:6!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּנָּֽחֲמוּ *they had compassion* | wayyiqtol · niphal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | | נִגְדַּע *it has been cut off* | qatal · niphal | | שֵׁבֶט *a tribe* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
