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 — fellow, This, God — and what happens in the verse to nothing, Midian, hand, 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. וַיַּ֨עַן רֵעֵ֤הוּ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵ֣ין זֹ֔את בִּלְתִּ֗י אִם־חֶ֛רֶב גִּדְע֥וֹן בֶּן־יוֹאָ֖שׁ אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל נָתַ֤ן הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן וְאֶת־כָּל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃פ [And his fellow answered and said: 'This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.212/) ## 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:198 # text = וַיַּ֨עַן רֵעֵ֤הוּ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֵ֣ין זֹ֔את בִּלְתִּ֗י אִם־חֶ֛רֶב גִּדְע֥וֹן בֶּן־יוֹאָ֖שׁ אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל נָתַ֤ן הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן וְאֶת־כָּל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃פ # verse = JDG.7.14 1-2 וַיַּ֨עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_7:14!1|MId=o070070140011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֨עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=JDG_7:14!1|MId=o070070140012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:070070140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 רֵעֵ֤הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 רֵע רֵעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=neighbor|Ref=JDG_7:14!2|MId=o070070140021|Strong=7453 4 ֵ֤הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_7:14!2|MId=o070070140022|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 5-6 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_7:14!3|MId=o070070140031|Strong=2050b 6 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_7:14!3|MId=o070070140032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070070140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 אֵ֣ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 6 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].not|Ref=JDG_7:14!4|MId=o070070140041|Strong=0369|Type=negative 8 זֹ֔את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 7 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_7:14!5|MId=o070070140051|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 9 בִּלְתִּ֗י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=except|Ref=JDG_7:14!6|MId=o070070140061|Strong=1115 10 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=JDG_7:14!7|MId=o070070140071|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 11 חֶ֛רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.sword|Ref=JDG_7:14!8|MId=o070070140081|Strong=2719 12 גִּדְע֥וֹן גִּדְעוֹן PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gideon|Ref=JDG_7:14!9|MId=o070070140091|Strong=1439 13 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=JDG_7:14!10|MId=o070070140101|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 14 יוֹאָ֖שׁ יוֹאָשׁ PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Joash|Ref=JDG_7:14!11|MId=o070070140111|Strong=3101 15 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=the.man|Ref=JDG_7:14!12|MId=o070070140121|Strong=0376 16 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JDG_7:14!13|MId=o070070140131|Strong=3478 17 נָתַ֤ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=JDG_7:14!14|MId=o070070140141|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070070140152;A1:070070140181;070070140212;|Type=qatal 18-19 הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_7:14!15|MId=o070070140151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אֱלֹהִים֙ אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=JDG_7:14!15|MId=o070070140152|Strong=0430 20-22 בְּיָד֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_7:14!16|MId=o070070140161|Strong=0871a 21 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_7:14!16|MId=o070070140162|Strong=3027 22 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_7:14!16|MId=o070070140163|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_7:14!17|MId=o070070140171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 24 מִדְיָ֖ן מִדְיָן PROPN _ _ 17 obj _ Gloss=Midian|Ref=JDG_7:14!18|MId=o070070140181|Strong=4080 25-26 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_7:14!19|MId=o070070140191|Strong=2050b 26 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_7:14!19|MId=o070070140192|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 27 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_7:14!20|MId=o070070140201|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_7:14!21|MId=o070070140211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 מַּחֲנֶֽה מַחֲנֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=army|Ref=JDG_7:14!21|MId=o070070140212|Strong=4264 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=JDG_7:14!21|SpaceAfter=No 31 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=JDG_7:14!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | רֵע *neighbor* | | | | | **not** יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | רֵע *neighbor* | | | | | נָתַן *he has given* | qatal · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | מִדְיָן *Midian* + מַּחֲנֶֽה *army* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
