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, LORD, saviour — and what happens in the verse to saviour, children, 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. וַיִּזְעֲק֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּ֨קֶם יְהוָ֥ה מוֹשִׁ֛יעַ לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיּֽוֹשִׁיעֵ֑ם אֵ֚ת עָתְנִיאֵ֣ל בֶּן־קְנַ֔ז אֲחִ֥י כָלֵ֖ב הַקָּטֹ֥ן מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ [And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.69/) ## 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:67 # text = וַיִּזְעֲק֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּ֨קֶם יְהוָ֥ה מוֹשִׁ֛יעַ לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיּֽוֹשִׁיעֵ֑ם אֵ֚ת עָתְנִיאֵ֣ל בֶּן־קְנַ֔ז אֲחִ֥י כָלֵ֖ב הַקָּטֹ֥ן מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ # verse = JDG.3.9 1-2 וַיִּזְעֲק֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:9!1|MId=o070030090011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּזְעֲק֤וּ זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.cried.out|Ref=JDG_3:9!1|MId=o070030090012|Strong=2199|Frame=A0:070030090021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_3:9!2|MId=o070030090021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_3:9!3|MId=o070030090031|Strong=3478 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_3:9!4|MId=o070030090041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_3:9!5|MId=o070030090051|Strong=3068 7-8 וַיָּ֨קֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:9!6|MId=o070030090061|Strong=2050b 8 יָּ֨קֶם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.raised.up|Ref=JDG_3:9!6|MId=o070030090062|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:070030090071;A0:070030090081;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_3:9!7|MId=o070030090071|Strong=3068 10 מוֹשִׁ֛יעַ יָשַׁע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=a.deliverer|Ref=JDG_3:9!8|MId=o070030090081|Strong=3467a|Type=participle_active 11-12 לִבְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JDG_3:9!9|MId=o070030090091|Strong=3807a 12 בְנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_3:9!9|MId=o070030090092|Strong=1121 13 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_3:9!10|MId=o070030090101|Strong=3478 14-16 וַיּֽוֹשִׁיעֵ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_3:9!11|MId=o070030090111|Strong=2050b 15 יּֽוֹשִׁיע יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_3:9!11|MId=o070030090112|Strong=3467|Frame=AA:070030090081;A0:070030090113;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 ֵ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=delivered.them|Ref=JDG_3:9!11|MId=o070030090113|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17 אֵ֚ת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_3:9!12|MId=o070030090121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 עָתְנִיאֵ֣ל עׇתְנִיאֵל PROPN _ _ 8 parataxis _ Gloss=Othniel|Ref=JDG_3:9!13|MId=o070030090131|Strong=6274 19 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=JDG_3:9!14|MId=o070030090141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 20 קְנַ֔ז קְנַז PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Kenaz|Ref=JDG_3:9!15|MId=o070030090151|Strong=7073 21 אֲחִ֥י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=the.brother|Ref=JDG_3:9!16|MId=o070030090161|Strong=0251 22 כָלֵ֖ב כָּלֵב PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Caleb|Ref=JDG_3:9!17|MId=o070030090171|Strong=3612 23-24 הַקָּטֹ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_3:9!18|MId=o070030090181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 קָּטֹ֥ן קָטֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 amod _ Gloss=young|Ref=JDG_3:9!18|MId=o070030090182|Strong=6996a|Type=adjective 25-26 מִמֶּֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=JDG_3:9!19|MId=o070030090191|Strong=4480 26 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod _ Gloss=than.him|Ref=JDG_3:9!19|MId=o070030090192|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JDG_3:9!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּזְעֲקוּ *they cried out* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | יָּקֶם *he raised up* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | מוֹשִׁיעַ *a deliverer* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | יּֽוֹשִׁיע *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵם *delivered them* | | | מוֹשִׁיעַ *a deliverer* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
