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, people, men — and what happens in the verse to loaves, you, me, 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. וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לְאַנְשֵׁ֣י סֻכּ֔וֹת תְּנוּ־נָא֙ כִּכְּר֣וֹת לֶ֔חֶם לָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּרַגְלָ֑י כִּי־עֲיֵפִ֣ים הֵ֔ם וְאָנֹכִ֗י רֹדֵ֛ף אַחֲרֵ֛י זֶ֥בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֖ע מַלְכֵ֥י מִדְיָֽן׃ [And he said unto the men of Succoth: 'Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.229/) ## 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:214 # text = וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לְאַנְשֵׁ֣י סֻכּ֔וֹת תְּנוּ־נָא֙ כִּכְּר֣וֹת לֶ֔חֶם לָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּרַגְלָ֑י כִּי־עֲיֵפִ֣ים הֵ֔ם וְאָנֹכִ֗י רֹדֵ֛ף אַחֲרֵ֛י זֶ֥בַח וְצַלְמֻנָּ֖ע מַלְכֵ֥י מִדְיָֽן׃ # verse = JDG.8.5 1-2 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:5!1|MId=o070080050011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_8:5!1|MId=o070080050012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070080040021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לְאַנְשֵׁ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_8:5!2|MId=o070080050021|Strong=3807a 4 אַנְשֵׁ֣י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=JDG_8:5!2|MId=o070080050022|Strong=0376 5 סֻכּ֔וֹת סֻכּוֹת PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Succoth|Ref=JDG_8:5!3|MId=o070080050031|Strong=5523 6 תְּנוּ־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=give|Ref=JDG_8:5!4|MId=o070080050041|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070080050022;A1:070080050061;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 7 נָא֙ נָא INTJ _ _ 6 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=JDG_8:5!5|MId=o070080050051|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 8 כִּכְּר֣וֹת כִּכָּר NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obj _ Gloss=round.loaves|Ref=JDG_8:5!6|MId=o070080050061|Strong=3603 9 לֶ֔חֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.bread|Ref=JDG_8:5!7|MId=o070080050071|Strong=3899 10-12 לָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_8:5!8|MId=o070080050081|Strong=3807a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_8:5!8|MId=o070080050081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=JDG_8:5!8|MId=o070080050082|Strong=5971 13 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JDG_8:5!9|MId=o070080050091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14-16 בְּרַגְלָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=[is].at|Ref=JDG_8:5!10|MId=o070080050101|Strong=0871a 15 רַגְל רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=feet|Ref=JDG_8:5!10|MId=o070080050102|Strong=7272 16 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_8:5!10|MId=o070080050103|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JDG_8:5!11|MId=o070080050111|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 18 עֲיֵפִ֣ים עָיֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 advcl _ Gloss=[are].exhausted|Ref=JDG_8:5!12|MId=o070080050121|Strong=5889|Type=adjective 19 הֵ֔ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=JDG_8:5!13|MId=o070080050131|Strong=1992|Type=personal 20-21 וְאָנֹכִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:5!14|MId=o070080050141|Strong=2050b 21 אָנֹכִ֗י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JDG_8:5!14|MId=o070080050142|Strong=0595|Type=personal 22 רֹדֵ֛ף רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[am].pursuing|Ref=JDG_8:5!15|MId=o070080050151|Strong=7291|Frame=A0:070080050142;|Type=participle_active 23 אַחֲרֵ֛י אַחַר ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=JDG_8:5!16|MId=o070080050161|Strong=0310 24 זֶ֥בַח זֶבַח PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Zebah|Ref=JDG_8:5!17|MId=o070080050171|Strong=2078 25-26 וְצַלְמֻנָּ֖ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:5!18|MId=o070080050181|Strong=2050b 26 צַלְמֻנָּ֖ע צַלְמֻנָּע PROPN _ _ 24 conj _ Gloss=Zalmunna|Ref=JDG_8:5!18|MId=o070080050182|Strong=6759 27 מַלְכֵ֥י מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 appos _ Gloss=the.kings|Ref=JDG_8:5!19|MId=o070080050191|Strong=4428 28 מִדְיָֽן מִדְיָן PROPN _ _ 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Midian|Ref=JDG_8:5!20|MId=o070080050201|Strong=4080|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JDG_8:5!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תְּנוּ־ *give* | imperative · qal | אַנְשֵׁי *the people* | כִּכְּרוֹת *round loaves* | | | | רֹדֵף *\[am\] pursuing* | participle active · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
