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 — Gideon, ye, we, men — and what happens in the verse to Zebah, me, hands, power, bread, 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. וַיָּבֹא֙ אֶל־אַנְשֵׁ֣י סֻכּ֔וֹת וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּ֖ה זֶ֣בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֑ע אֲשֶׁר֩ חֵרַפְתֶּ֨ם אוֹתִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר הֲ֠כַף זֶ֣בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֤ע עַתָּה֙ בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ כִּ֥י נִתֵּ֛ן לַאֲנָשֶׁ֥יךָ הַיְּעֵפִ֖ים לָֽחֶם׃ [And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said: 'Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying: Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy power, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.239/) ## 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:224 # text = וַיָּבֹא֙ אֶל־אַנְשֵׁ֣י סֻכּ֔וֹת וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הִנֵּ֖ה זֶ֣בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֑ע אֲשֶׁר֩ חֵרַפְתֶּ֨ם אוֹתִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר הֲ֠כַף זֶ֣בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֤ע עַתָּה֙ בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ כִּ֥י נִתֵּ֛ן לַאֲנָשֶׁ֥יךָ הַיְּעֵפִ֖ים לָֽחֶם׃ # verse = JDG.8.15 1-2 וַיָּבֹא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:15!1|MId=o070080150011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹא֙ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.came|Ref=JDG_8:15!1|MId=o070080150012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070080130021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_8:15!2|MId=o070080150021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4 אַנְשֵׁ֣י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.men|Ref=JDG_8:15!3|MId=o070080150031|Strong=0376 5 סֻכּ֔וֹת סֻכּוֹת PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Succoth|Ref=JDG_8:15!4|MId=o070080150041|Strong=5523 6-7 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:15!5|MId=o070080150051|Strong=2050b 7 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_8:15!5|MId=o070080150052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070080130021;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 הִנֵּ֖ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=JDG_8:15!6|MId=o070080150061|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 9 זֶ֣בַח זֶבַח PROPN _ _ 7 ccomp _ Gloss=Zebah|Ref=JDG_8:15!7|MId=o070080150071|Strong=2078 10-11 וְצַלְמֻנָּ֑ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:15!8|MId=o070080150081|Strong=2050b 11 צַלְמֻנָּ֑ע צַלְמֻנָּע PROPN _ _ 9 conj _ Gloss=Zalmunna|Ref=JDG_8:15!8|MId=o070080150082|Strong=6759 12 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=JDG_8:15!9|MId=o070080150091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13 חֵרַפְתֶּ֨ם חָרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.taunted|Ref=JDG_8:15!10|MId=o070080150101|Strong=2778|Frame=A0:070080150031;A1:070080150112;|Type=qatal 14-15 אוֹתִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_8:15!11|MId=o070080150111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=JDG_8:15!11|MId=o070080150112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16-17 לֵאמֹ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 25 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JDG_8:15!12|MId=o070080150121|Strong=3807a 17 אמֹ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_8:15!12|MId=o070080150122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070080150031;A1:070080150172;070080150191;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 הֲ֠כַף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הֲ֠ הֲ PART _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=JDG_8:15!13|MId=o070080150131|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 19 כַף כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=palm?|Ref=JDG_8:15!13|MId=o070080150132|Strong=3709 20 זֶ֣בַח זֶבַח PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zebah|Ref=JDG_8:15!14|MId=o070080150141|Strong=2078 21-22 וְצַלְמֻנָּ֤ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:15!15|MId=o070080150151|Strong=2050b 22 צַלְמֻנָּ֤ע צַלְמֻנָּע PROPN _ _ 20 conj _ Gloss=Zalmunna|Ref=JDG_8:15!15|MId=o070080150152|Strong=6759 23 עַתָּה֙ עַתָּה ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=JDG_8:15!16|MId=o070080150161|Strong=6258 24-26 בְּיָדֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_8:15!17|MId=o070080150171|Strong=0871a 25 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 advcl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_8:15!17|MId=o070080150172|Strong=3027 26 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_8:15!17|MId=o070080150173|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JDG_8:15!18|MId=o070080150181|Strong=3588 28 נִתֵּ֛ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 25 parataxis _ Gloss=we.will.give|Ref=JDG_8:15!19|MId=o070080150191|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070080150031;A1:070080150221;|Type=yiqtol 29-31 לַאֲנָשֶׁ֥יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_8:15!20|MId=o070080150201|Strong=3807a 30 אֲנָשֶׁ֥י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 28 obl _ Gloss=men|Ref=JDG_8:15!20|MId=o070080150202|Strong=0376 31 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_8:15!20|MId=o070080150203|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 32-33 הַיְּעֵפִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_8:15!21|MId=o070080150211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 יְּעֵפִ֖ים יָעֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 amod _ Gloss=weary|Ref=JDG_8:15!21|MId=o070080150212|Strong=3287|Type=adjective 34 לָֽחֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=bread|Ref=JDG_8:15!22|MId=o070080150221|Strong=3899|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=JDG_8:15!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
