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 — men, man, Asherah — and what happens in the verse to son, altar, Asherah, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ אַנְשֵׁ֤י הָעִיר֙ אֶל־יוֹאָ֔שׁ הוֹצֵ֥א אֶת־בִּנְךָ֖ וְיָמֹ֑ת כִּ֤י נָתַץ֙ אֶת־מִזְבַּ֣ח הַבַּ֔עַל וְכִ֥י כָרַ֖ת הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה אֲשֶׁר־עָלָֽיו׃ [Then the men of the city said unto Joash: 'Bring out thy son, that he may die; because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the Asherah that was by it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.188/) ## 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:174 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ אַנְשֵׁ֤י הָעִיר֙ אֶל־יוֹאָ֔שׁ הוֹצֵ֥א אֶת־בִּנְךָ֖ וְיָמֹ֑ת כִּ֤י נָתַץ֙ אֶת־מִזְבַּ֣ח הַבַּ֔עַל וְכִ֥י כָרַ֖ת הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה אֲשֶׁר־עָלָֽיו׃ # verse = JDG.6.30 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_6:30!1|MId=o070060300011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=JDG_6:30!1|MId=o070060300012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070060300021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַנְשֵׁ֤י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.men|Ref=JDG_6:30!2|MId=o070060300021|Strong=0376 4-5 הָעִיר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_6:30!3|MId=o070060300031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 עִיר֙ עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=JDG_6:30!3|MId=o070060300032|Strong=5892 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_6:30!4|MId=o070060300041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7 יוֹאָ֔שׁ יוֹאָשׁ PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joash|Ref=JDG_6:30!5|MId=o070060300051|Strong=3101 8 הוֹצֵ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=bring.out|Ref=JDG_6:30!6|MId=o070060300061|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:070060300051;A0:070060300081;|Type=imperative 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_6:30!7|MId=o070060300071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 בִּנְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בִּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=son|Ref=JDG_6:30!8|MId=o070060300081|Strong=1121 11 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_6:30!8|MId=o070060300082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְיָמֹ֑ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=JDG_6:30!9|MId=o070060300091|Strong=2050b 13 יָמֹ֑ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=that.he.may.die|Ref=JDG_6:30!9|MId=o070060300092|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:070060300081;|Type=jussive 14 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JDG_6:30!10|MId=o070060300101|Strong=3588 15 נָתַץ֙ נָתַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.torn.down|Ref=JDG_6:30!11|MId=o070060300111|Strong=5422|Frame=A0:070060300081;A1:070060300131;|Type=qatal 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_6:30!12|MId=o070060300121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17 מִזְבַּ֣ח מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=the.altar|Ref=JDG_6:30!13|MId=o070060300131|Strong=4196 18-19 הַבַּ֔עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=JDG_6:30!14|MId=o070060300141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 בַּ֔עַל בַּעַל PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Baal|Ref=JDG_6:30!14|MId=o070060300142|Strong=1168 20-21 וְכִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_6:30!15|MId=o070060300151|Strong=2050b 21 כִ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JDG_6:30!15|MId=o070060300152|Strong=3588 22 כָרַ֖ת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.cut.down|Ref=JDG_6:30!16|MId=o070060300161|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:070060300081;A1:070060300172;|Type=qatal 23-24 הָאֲשֵׁרָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the.Asherah|Ref=JDG_6:30!17|MId=o070060300171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 אֲשֵׁרָ֥ה אֲשֵׁרָה PROPN _ _ 22 obj _ Gloss=pole|Ref=JDG_6:30!17|MId=o070060300172|Strong=0842 25 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JDG_6:30!18|MId=o070060300181|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 עָלָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עָלָֽי עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=[was].at|Ref=JDG_6:30!19|MId=o070060300191|Strong=5921 27 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JDG_6:30!19|MId=o070060300192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JDG_6:30!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַנְשֵׁי *the men* | | | | | הוֹצֵא *bring out* | imperative · hiphil | בִּנ *son* | | | יוֹאָשׁ *Joash* | | יָמֹת *that he may die* | jussive · qal | בִּנ *son* | | | | | נָתַץ *he has torn down* | qatal · qal | בִּנ *son* | מִזְבַּח *the altar* | | | | כָרַת *he has cut down* | qatal · qal | בִּנ *son* | אֲשֵׁרָה *pole* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
