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 — you, thou — and what happens in the verse to altar, ordered place, second bullock, burnt offering, wood, 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. וּבָנִ֨יתָ מִזְבֵּ֜חַ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ עַ֣ל רֹ֧אשׁ הַמָּע֛וֹז הַזֶּ֖ה בַּמַּֽעֲרָכָ֑ה וְלָֽקַחְתָּ֙ אֶת־הַפָּ֣ר הַשֵּׁנִ֔י וְהַעֲלִ֣יתָ עוֹלָ֔ה בַּעֲצֵ֥י הָאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּכְרֹֽת׃ [and build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.184/) ## 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:170 # text = וּבָנִ֨יתָ מִזְבֵּ֜חַ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ עַ֣ל רֹ֧אשׁ הַמָּע֛וֹז הַזֶּ֖ה בַּמַּֽעֲרָכָ֑ה וְלָֽקַחְתָּ֙ אֶת־הַפָּ֣ר הַשֵּׁנִ֔י וְהַעֲלִ֣יתָ עוֹלָ֔ה בַּעֲצֵ֥י הָאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּכְרֹֽת׃ # verse = JDG.6.26 1-2 וּבָנִ֨יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_6:26!1|MId=o070060260011|Strong=2050b 2 בָנִ֨יתָ בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.build|Ref=JDG_6:26!1|MId=o070060260012|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:070060240031;A1:070060260021;|Type=weqatal 3 מִזְבֵּ֜חַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=an.altar|Ref=JDG_6:26!2|MId=o070060260021|Strong=4196 4-5 לַיהוָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_6:26!3|MId=o070060260031|Strong=3807a 5 יהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_6:26!3|MId=o070060260032|Strong=3068 6-7 אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֱלֹהֶ֗י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=JDG_6:26!4|MId=o070060260041|Strong=0430 7 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_6:26!4|MId=o070060260042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 עַ֣ל עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_6:26!5|MId=o070060260051|Strong=5921 9 רֹ֧אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.top|Ref=JDG_6:26!6|MId=o070060260061|Strong=7218 10-11 הַמָּע֛וֹז _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_6:26!7|MId=o070060260071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מָּע֛וֹז מָעוֹז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.place.of.refuge|Ref=JDG_6:26!7|MId=o070060260072|Strong=4581 12-13 הַזֶּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_6:26!8|MId=o070060260081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 זֶּ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 11 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_6:26!8|MId=o070060260082|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 14-16 בַּמַּֽעֲרָכָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_6:26!9|MId=o070060260091|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_6:26!9|MId=o070060260091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מַּֽעֲרָכָ֑ה מַעֲרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=row|Ref=JDG_6:26!9|MId=o070060260092|Strong=4634 17-18 וְלָֽקַחְתָּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_6:26!10|MId=o070060260101|Strong=2050b 18 לָֽקַחְתָּ֙ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.take|Ref=JDG_6:26!10|MId=o070060260102|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:070060240031;A1:070060260122;|Type=weqatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_6:26!11|MId=o070060260111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַפָּ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the.young|Ref=JDG_6:26!12|MId=o070060260121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 פָּ֣ר פַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=bull|Ref=JDG_6:26!12|MId=o070060260122|Strong=6499 22-23 הַשֵּׁנִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_6:26!13|MId=o070060260131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שֵּׁנִ֔י שֵׁנִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nummod _ Gloss=second|Ref=JDG_6:26!13|MId=o070060260132|Strong=8145|Type=ordinal_number 24-25 וְהַעֲלִ֣יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_6:26!14|MId=o070060260141|Strong=2050b 25 הַעֲלִ֣יתָ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.offer.up|Ref=JDG_6:26!14|MId=o070060260142|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:070060240031;A0:070060260151;|Type=weqatal 26 עוֹלָ֔ה עֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=a.burnt.offering|Ref=JDG_6:26!15|MId=o070060260151|Strong=5930 27-28 בַּעֲצֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_6:26!16|MId=o070060260161|Strong=0871a 28 עֲצֵ֥י עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obl _ Gloss=the.wood(s)|Ref=JDG_6:26!16|MId=o070060260162|Strong=6086 29-30 הָאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_6:26!17|MId=o070060260171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 אֲשֵׁרָ֖ה אֲשֵׁרָה PROPN _ _ 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.Asherah.pole|Ref=JDG_6:26!17|MId=o070060260172|Strong=0842 31 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 32 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JDG_6:26!18|MId=o070060260181|Strong=0834|Type=relative 32 תִּכְרֹֽת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 30 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.will.cut.down|Ref=JDG_6:26!19|MId=o070060260191|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:070060240031;A1:070060260172;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JDG_6:26!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
