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 daughters, wives, own daughters, sons, gods, 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. וַיִּקְח֨וּ אֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֤ם לָהֶם֙ לְנָשִׁ֔ים וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם נָתְנ֣וּ לִבְנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּעַבְד֖וּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃פ [and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.66/) ## 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:64 # text = וַיִּקְח֨וּ אֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֤ם לָהֶם֙ לְנָשִׁ֔ים וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם נָתְנ֣וּ לִבְנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיַּעַבְד֖וּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃פ # verse = JDG.3.6 1-2 וַיִּקְח֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:6!1|MId=o070030060011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקְח֨וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.took|Ref=JDG_3:6!1|MId=o070030060012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070030050012;A1:070030060031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_3:6!2|MId=o070030060021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּנוֹתֵי בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JDG_3:6!3|MId=o070030060031|Strong=1323 5 הֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_3:6!3|MId=o070030060032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6-7 לָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JDG_3:6!4|MId=o070030060041|Strong=3807a 7 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=themselves|Ref=JDG_3:6!4|MId=o070030060042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8-9 לְנָשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_3:6!5|MId=o070030060051|Strong=3807a 9 נָשִׁ֔ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=wives|Ref=JDG_3:6!5|MId=o070030060052|Strong=0802 10-11 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:6!6|MId=o070030060061|Strong=2050b 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_3:6!6|MId=o070030060062|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12-13 בְּנוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּנוֹתֵי בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=JDG_3:6!7|MId=o070030060071|Strong=1323 13 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_3:6!7|MId=o070030060072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14 נָתְנ֣וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.gave|Ref=JDG_3:6!8|MId=o070030060081|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070030050012;A1:070030060071;|Type=qatal 15-17 לִבְנֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_3:6!9|MId=o070030060091|Strong=3807a 16 בְנֵי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=sons|Ref=JDG_3:6!9|MId=o070030060092|Strong=1121 17 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_3:6!9|MId=o070030060093|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-19 וַיַּעַבְד֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:6!10|MId=o070030060101|Strong=2050b 19 יַּעַבְד֖וּ עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.served|Ref=JDG_3:6!10|MId=o070030060102|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:070030050012;A1:070030060121;|Type=wayyiqtol 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_3:6!11|MId=o070030060111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=gods|Ref=JDG_3:6!12|MId=o070030060121|Strong=0430 22 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_3:6!12|MId=o070030060122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JDG_3:6!12|SpaceAfter=No 24 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JDG_3:6!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקְחוּ *they took* | wayyiqtol · qal | | בְּנוֹתֵי *daughters* | | | | נָתְנוּ *they gave* | qatal · qal | | בְּנוֹתֵי *daughters* | | | | יַּעַבְדוּ *they served* | wayyiqtol · qal | | אֱלֹהֵי *gods* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
