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 — God, I, princes — and what happens in the verse to princes, hand, comparison, anger, that, 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. בְּיֶדְכֶם֩ נָתַ֨ן אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֶת־שָׂרֵ֤י מִדְיָן֙ אֶת־עֹרֵ֣ב וְאֶת־זְאֵ֔ב וּמַה־יָּכֹ֖לְתִּי עֲשׂ֣וֹת כָּכֶ֑ם אָ֗ז רָפְתָ֤ה רוּחָם֙ מֵֽעָלָ֔יו בְּדַבְּר֖וֹ הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃ [God hath delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JDG:212 # text = בְּיֶדְכֶם֩ נָתַ֨ן אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֶת־שָׂרֵ֤י מִדְיָן֙ אֶת־עֹרֵ֣ב וְאֶת־זְאֵ֔ב וּמַה־יָּכֹ֖לְתִּי עֲשׂ֣וֹת כָּכֶ֑ם אָ֗ז רָפְתָ֤ה רוּחָם֙ מֵֽעָלָ֔יו בְּדַבְּר֖וֹ הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = JDG.8.3 1-3 בְּיֶדְכֶם֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_8:3!1|MId=o070080030011|Strong=0871a 2 יֶד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_8:3!1|MId=o070080030012|Strong=3027 3 ְכֶם֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_8:3!1|MId=o070080030013|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 4 נָתַ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=JDG_8:3!2|MId=o070080030021|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070080030031;A1:070080030051;|Type=qatal 5 אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=JDG_8:3!3|MId=o070080030031|Strong=0430 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_8:3!4|MId=o070080030041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 שָׂרֵ֤י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=the.commanders|Ref=JDG_8:3!5|MId=o070080030051|Strong=8269 8 מִדְיָן֙ מִדְיָן PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Midian|Ref=JDG_8:3!6|MId=o070080030061|Strong=4080 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_8:3!7|MId=o070080030071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 עֹרֵ֣ב עֹרֵב PROPN _ _ 7 appos _ Gloss=Oreb|Ref=JDG_8:3!8|MId=o070080030081|Strong=6159 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:3!9|MId=o070080030091|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_8:3!9|MId=o070080030092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 זְאֵ֔ב זְאֵב PROPN _ _ 10 conj _ Gloss=Zeeb|Ref=JDG_8:3!10|MId=o070080030101|Strong=2062 14-15 וּמַה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:3!11|MId=o070080030111|Strong=2050b 15 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 17 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=JDG_8:3!11|MId=o070080030112|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 16 יָּכֹ֖לְתִּי יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=have.I.been.able|Ref=JDG_8:3!12|MId=o070080030121|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:070070250261;A1:070080030131;|Type=qatal 17 עֲשׂ֣וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 ccomp _ Gloss=to.do|Ref=JDG_8:3!13|MId=o070080030131|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070070250261;A1:070080030112;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 כָּכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JDG_8:3!14|MId=o070080030141|Strong=3509a 19 ָכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JDG_8:3!14|MId=o070080030142|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 20 אָ֗ז אָז ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=then|Ref=JDG_8:3!15|MId=o070080030151|Strong=0227 21 רָפְתָ֤ה רָפָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=it.relaxed|Ref=JDG_8:3!16|MId=o070080030161|Strong=7503|Frame=A0:070080030171;|Type=qatal 22-23 רוּחָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 רוּח רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=spirit|Ref=JDG_8:3!17|MId=o070080030171|Strong=7307 23 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_8:3!17|MId=o070080030172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24-26 מֵֽעָלָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_8:3!18|MId=o070080030181|Strong=4480 25 עָלָ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_8:3!18|MId=o070080030182|Strong=5921 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_8:3!18|MId=o070080030183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27-29 בְּדַבְּר֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=JDG_8:3!19|MId=o070080030191|Strong=0871a 28 דַבְּר דָבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 21 advcl _ Gloss=said|Ref=JDG_8:3!19|MId=o070080030192|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:070080030193;A1:070080030202;|Type=infinitive_construct 29 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JDG_8:3!19|MId=o070080030193|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30-31 הַדָּבָ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_8:3!20|MId=o070080030201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 דָּבָ֥ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=word|Ref=JDG_8:3!20|MId=o070080030202|Strong=1697 32-33 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_8:3!21|MId=o070080030211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 31 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_8:3!21|MId=o070080030212|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JDG_8:3!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
