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 — servants, doors, Ehud — and what happens in the verse to Ehud, doors, feet, 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. וְה֤וּא יָצָא֙ וַעֲבָדָ֣יו בָּ֔אוּ וַיִּרְא֕וּ וְהִנֵּ֛ה דַּלְת֥וֹת הָעֲלִיָּ֖ה נְעֻל֑וֹת וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אַ֣ךְ מֵסִ֥יךְ ה֛וּא אֶת־רַגְלָ֖יו בַּחֲדַ֥ר הַמְּקֵרָֽה׃ [Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said: 'Surely he is covering his feet in the cabinet of the cool chamber.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.86/) ## 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:82 # text = וְה֤וּא יָצָא֙ וַעֲבָדָ֣יו בָּ֔אוּ וַיִּרְא֕וּ וְהִנֵּ֛ה דַּלְת֥וֹת הָעֲלִיָּ֖ה נְעֻל֑וֹת וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אַ֣ךְ מֵסִ֥יךְ ה֛וּא אֶת־רַגְלָ֖יו בַּחֲדַ֥ר הַמְּקֵרָֽה׃ # verse = JDG.3.24 1-2 וְה֤וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:24!1|MId=o070030240011|Strong=2050b 2 ה֤וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_3:24!1|MId=o070030240012|Strong=1931|Type=personal 3 יָצָא֙ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went.forth|Ref=JDG_3:24!2|MId=o070030240021|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:070030240012;|Type=qatal 4-6 וַעֲבָדָ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:24!3|MId=o070030240031|Strong=2050b 5 עֲבָדָ֣י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=JDG_3:24!3|MId=o070030240032|Strong=5650 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_3:24!3|MId=o070030240033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 בָּ֔אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=JDG_3:24!4|MId=o070030240041|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070030240032;|Type=qatal 8-9 וַיִּרְא֕וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:24!5|MId=o070030240051|Strong=2050b 9 יִּרְא֕וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.saw|Ref=JDG_3:24!5|MId=o070030240052|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:070030240032;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 וְהִנֵּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:24!6|MId=o070030240061|Strong=2050b 11 הִנֵּ֛ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 15 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=JDG_3:24!6|MId=o070030240062|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 12 דַּלְת֥וֹת דֶּלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=the.doors|Ref=JDG_3:24!7|MId=o070030240071|Strong=1817 13-14 הָעֲלִיָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_3:24!8|MId=o070030240081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 עֲלִיָּ֖ה עֲלִיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.roof.chamber|Ref=JDG_3:24!8|MId=o070030240082|Strong=5944 15 נְעֻל֑וֹת נָעַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=[were].locked|Ref=JDG_3:24!9|MId=o070030240091|Strong=5274|Frame=A1:070030240071;|Type=participle_passive 16-17 וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:24!10|MId=o070030240101|Strong=2050b 17 יֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JDG_3:24!10|MId=o070030240102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070030240032;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 אַ֣ךְ אַךְ ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=surely|Ref=JDG_3:24!11|MId=o070030240111|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation 19 מֵסִ֥יךְ סָכַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 17 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].covering|Ref=JDG_3:24!12|MId=o070030240121|Strong=5526b|Frame=AA:070030240131;A0:070030240151;|Type=participle_active 20 ה֛וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_3:24!13|MId=o070030240131|Strong=1931|Type=personal 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_3:24!14|MId=o070030240141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 רַגְלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 רַגְלָ֖י רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 19 obj _ Gloss=feet|Ref=JDG_3:24!15|MId=o070030240151|Strong=7272 23 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_3:24!15|MId=o070030240152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 בַּחֲדַ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_3:24!16|MId=o070030240161|Strong=0871a 25 חֲדַ֥ר חֶדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=the.chamber|Ref=JDG_3:24!16|MId=o070030240162|Strong=2315 26-27 הַמְּקֵרָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=JDG_3:24!17|MId=o070030240171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 מְּקֵרָֽה מְקֵרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=coolness|Ref=JDG_3:24!17|MId=o070030240172|Strong=4747 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JDG_3:24!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָצָא *he went forth* | qatal · qal | הוּא *he* | | | | | בָּאוּ *they came* | qatal · qal | עֲבָדָי *servants* | | | | | יִּרְאוּ *they saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֲבָדָי *servants* | | | | | נְעֻלוֹת *\[were\] locked* | participle passive · qal | | דַּלְתוֹת *the doors* | | | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֲבָדָי *servants* | | | | | מֵסִיךְ *\[is\] covering* | participle active · hiphil | רַגְלָי *feet* | | | הוּא *he* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
