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, Israel, ephod — and what happens in the verse to ephod, city, snare, 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. וַיַּעַשׂ֩ אוֹת֨וֹ גִדְע֜וֹן לְאֵפ֗וֹד וַיַּצֵּ֨ג אוֹת֤וֹ בְעִירוֹ֙ בְּעָפְרָ֔ה וַיִּזְנ֧וּ כָֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אַחֲרָ֖יו שָׁ֑ם וַיְהִ֛י לְגִדְע֥וֹן וּלְבֵית֖וֹ לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃ [And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah; and all Israel went astray after it there; and it became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.251/) ## 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:236 # text = וַיַּעַשׂ֩ אוֹת֨וֹ גִדְע֜וֹן לְאֵפ֗וֹד וַיַּצֵּ֨ג אוֹת֤וֹ בְעִירוֹ֙ בְּעָפְרָ֔ה וַיִּזְנ֧וּ כָֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אַחֲרָ֖יו שָׁ֑ם וַיְהִ֛י לְגִדְע֥וֹן וּלְבֵית֖וֹ לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃ # verse = JDG.8.27 1-2 וַיַּעַשׂ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:27!1|MId=o070080270011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּעַשׂ֩ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=JDG_8:27!1|MId=o070080270012|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:070080270022;A0:070080270031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אוֹת֨וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_8:27!2|MId=o070080270021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ֨וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JDG_8:27!2|MId=o070080270022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 גִדְע֜וֹן גִּדְעוֹן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Gideon|Ref=JDG_8:27!3|MId=o070080270031|Strong=1439 6-7 לְאֵפ֗וֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JDG_8:27!4|MId=o070080270041|Strong=3807a 7 אֵפ֗וֹד אֵפֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=an.ephod|Ref=JDG_8:27!4|MId=o070080270042|Strong=0646 8-9 וַיַּצֵּ֨ג _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:27!5|MId=o070080270051|Strong=2050b 9 יַּצֵּ֨ג יָצַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.placed|Ref=JDG_8:27!5|MId=o070080270052|Strong=3322|Frame=AA:070080270031;A0:070080270062;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 אוֹת֤וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_8:27!6|MId=o070080270061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11 ֤וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JDG_8:27!6|MId=o070080270062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-14 בְעִירוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_8:27!7|MId=o070080270071|Strong=0871a 13 עִיר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=city|Ref=JDG_8:27!7|MId=o070080270072|Strong=5892 14 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_8:27!7|MId=o070080270073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 בְּעָפְרָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_8:27!8|MId=o070080270081|Strong=0871a 16 עָפְרָ֔ה עׇפְרָה PROPN _ _ 13 nmod _ Gloss=Ophrah|Ref=JDG_8:27!8|MId=o070080270082|Strong=6084a 17-18 וַיִּזְנ֧וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:27!9|MId=o070080270091|Strong=2050b 18 יִּזְנ֧וּ זָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.acted.as.prostitutes|Ref=JDG_8:27!9|MId=o070080270092|Strong=2181|Frame=A0:070080270111;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 כָֽל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_8:27!10|MId=o070080270101|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 20 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=JDG_8:27!11|MId=o070080270111|Strong=3478 21-22 אַחֲרָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אַחֲרָ֖י אַחַר ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JDG_8:27!12|MId=o070080270121|Strong=0310 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JDG_8:27!12|MId=o070080270122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 שָׁ֑ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JDG_8:27!13|MId=o070080270131|Strong=8033 24-25 וַיְהִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:27!14|MId=o070080270141|Strong=2050b 25 יְהִ֛י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.became|Ref=JDG_8:27!14|MId=o070080270142|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:070080270042;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 לְגִדְע֥וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JDG_8:27!15|MId=o070080270151|Strong=3807a 27 גִדְע֥וֹן גִּדְעוֹן PROPN _ _ 25 obl _ Gloss=Gideon|Ref=JDG_8:27!15|MId=o070080270152|Strong=1439 28-31 וּלְבֵית֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:27!16|MId=o070080270161|Strong=2050b 29 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JDG_8:27!16|MId=o070080270162|Strong=3807a 30 בֵית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 conj _ Gloss=household|Ref=JDG_8:27!16|MId=o070080270163|Strong=1004 31 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_8:27!16|MId=o070080270164|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 32-33 לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=JDG_8:27!17|MId=o070080270171|Strong=3807a 33 מוֹקֵֽשׁ מוֹקֵשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=snare|Ref=JDG_8:27!17|MId=o070080270172|Strong=4170 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JDG_8:27!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
