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 — Sisera, man, thou — and what happens in the verse to door, tent, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֶ֔יהָ עֲמֹ֖ד פֶּ֣תַח הָאֹ֑הֶל וְהָיָה֩ אִם־אִ֨ישׁ יָב֜וֹא וּשְׁאֵלֵ֗ךְ וְאָמַ֛ר הֲיֵֽשׁ־פֹּ֥ה אִ֖ישׁ וְאָמַ֥רְתְּ אָֽיִן׃ [And he said unto her: 'Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say: Is there any man here? that thou shalt say: No.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.114/) ## 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:109 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֶ֔יהָ עֲמֹ֖ד פֶּ֣תַח הָאֹ֑הֶל וְהָיָה֩ אִם־אִ֨ישׁ יָב֜וֹא וּשְׁאֵלֵ֗ךְ וְאָמַ֛ר הֲיֵֽשׁ־פֹּ֥ה אִ֖ישׁ וְאָמַ֥רְתְּ אָֽיִן׃ # verse = JDG.4.20 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_4:20!1|MId=o070040200011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_4:20!1|MId=o070040200012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070040180041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלֶ֔י אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_4:20!2|MId=o070040200021|Strong=0413 4 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=JDG_4:20!2|MId=o070040200022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5 עֲמֹ֖ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=stand|Ref=JDG_4:20!3|MId=o070040200031|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:070040180021;|Type=imperative 6 פֶּ֣תַח פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the.opening|Ref=JDG_4:20!4|MId=o070040200041|Strong=6607 7-8 הָאֹ֑הֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_4:20!5|MId=o070040200051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אֹ֑הֶל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.tent|Ref=JDG_4:20!5|MId=o070040200052|Strong=0168 9-10 וְהָיָה֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_4:20!6|MId=o070040200061|Strong=2050b 10 הָיָה֩ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=JDG_4:20!6|MId=o070040200062|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 11 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JDG_4:20!7|MId=o070040200071|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 12 אִ֨ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=JDG_4:20!8|MId=o070040200081|Strong=0376 13 יָב֜וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 24 advcl _ Gloss=he.will.come|Ref=JDG_4:20!9|MId=o070040200091|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070040200081;|Type=yiqtol 14-16 וּשְׁאֵלֵ֗ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_4:20!10|MId=o070040200101|Strong=2050b 15 שְׁאֵל שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_4:20!10|MId=o070040200102|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:070040200081;A1:070040200103;|Type=weqatal 16 ֵ֗ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=will.ask.you|Ref=JDG_4:20!10|MId=o070040200103|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְאָמַ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_4:20!11|MId=o070040200111|Strong=2050b 18 אָמַ֛ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 conj _ Gloss=he.will.say|Ref=JDG_4:20!11|MId=o070040200112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070040200081;A1:070040200122;|Type=weqatal 19-20 הֲיֵֽשׁ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=[is]|Ref=JDG_4:20!12|MId=o070040200121|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 20 יֵֽשׁ־ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 18 ccomp _ Gloss=there?|Ref=JDG_4:20!12|MId=o070040200122|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 21 פֹּ֥ה פֹּה ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=here|Ref=JDG_4:20!13|MId=o070040200131|Strong=6311 22 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=JDG_4:20!14|MId=o070040200141|Strong=0376 23-24 וְאָמַ֥רְתְּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_4:20!15|MId=o070040200151|Strong=2050b 24 אָמַ֥רְתְּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=JDG_4:20!15|MId=o070040200152|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070040180021;A1:070040200161;|Type=weqatal 25 אָֽיִן אַיִן ADV _ _ 24 obj _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=JDG_4:20!16|MId=o070040200161|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JDG_4:20!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | עֲמֹד *stand* | imperative · qal | | | | | | יָבוֹא *he will come* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | | | | | שְׁאֵל *he* | weqatal · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | ֵךְ *will ask you* | | | | אָמַר *he will say* | weqatal · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | יֵֽשׁ־ *there?* | | | | **not** אָמַרְתְּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | אָֽיִן *there \[is\] not* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
