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 — number, rest — and what happens in the verse to hand, hundred men, knees, water, 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. וַיְהִ֗י מִסְפַּ֞ר הַֽמֲלַקְקִ֤ים בְּיָדָם֙ אֶל־פִּיהֶ֔ם שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וְכֹל֙ יֶ֣תֶר הָעָ֔ם כָּרְע֥וּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶ֖ם לִשְׁתּ֥וֹת מָֽיִם׃ס [And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.204/) ## 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:190 # text = וַיְהִ֗י מִסְפַּ֞ר הַֽמֲלַקְקִ֤ים בְּיָדָם֙ אֶל־פִּיהֶ֔ם שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וְכֹל֙ יֶ֣תֶר הָעָ֔ם כָּרְע֥וּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶ֖ם לִשְׁתּ֥וֹת מָֽיִם׃ס # verse = JDG.7.6 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_7:6!1|MId=o070070060011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=JDG_7:6!1|MId=o070070060012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:070070060021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מִסְפַּ֞ר מִסְפָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=the.number|Ref=JDG_7:6!2|MId=o070070060021|Strong=4557 4-5 הַֽמֲלַקְקִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_7:6!3|MId=o070070060031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מֲלַקְקִ֤ים לָקַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those.who].lapped|Ref=JDG_7:6!3|MId=o070070060032|Strong=3952|Frame=A1:070070050162;|Type=participle_active 6-8 בְּיָדָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_7:6!4|MId=o070070060041|Strong=0871a 7 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_7:6!4|MId=o070070060042|Strong=3027 8 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_7:6!4|MId=o070070060043|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_7:6!5|MId=o070070060051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 פִּיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 פִּי פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=JDG_7:6!6|MId=o070070060061|Strong=6310 11 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_7:6!6|MId=o070070060062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 שְׁלֹ֥שׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=JDG_7:6!7|MId=o070070060071|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 13 מֵא֖וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 12 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=JDG_7:6!8|MId=o070070060081|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 14 אִ֑ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=man|Ref=JDG_7:6!9|MId=o070070060091|Strong=0376 15-16 וְכֹל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_7:6!10|MId=o070070060101|Strong=2050b 16 כֹל֙ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_7:6!10|MId=o070070060102|Strong=3605 17 יֶ֣תֶר יֶתֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.remainder|Ref=JDG_7:6!11|MId=o070070060111|Strong=3499 18-19 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_7:6!12|MId=o070070060121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_7:6!12|MId=o070070060122|Strong=5971 20 כָּרְע֥וּ כָּרַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 14 conj _ Gloss=they.bowed.down|Ref=JDG_7:6!13|MId=o070070060131|Strong=3766|Frame=A0:070070060111;|Type=qatal 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_7:6!14|MId=o070070060141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 בִּרְכֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בִּרְכֵי בֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 20 obl _ Gloss=knees|Ref=JDG_7:6!15|MId=o070070060151|Strong=1290 23 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_7:6!15|MId=o070070060152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-25 לִשְׁתּ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_7:6!16|MId=o070070060161|Strong=3807a 25 שְׁתּ֥וֹת שָׁתָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 advcl _ Gloss=drink|Ref=JDG_7:6!16|MId=o070070060162|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:070070060111;A1:070070060171;|Type=infinitive_construct 26 מָֽיִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=water|Ref=JDG_7:6!17|MId=o070070060171|Strong=4325|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JDG_7:6!17|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JDG_7:6!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהִי *it was* | wayyiqtol · qal | מִסְפַּר *the number* | | | | | מֲלַקְקִים *\[those who\] lapped* | participle active · piel | | | | | | כָּרְעוּ *they bowed down* | qatal · qal | יֶתֶר *the remainder* | | | | | שְׁתּוֹת *drink* | infinitive construct · qal | יֶתֶר *the remainder* | מָֽיִם *water* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
