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, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse to Zebah, hand, flesh, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר גִּדְע֔וֹן לָכֵ֗ן בְּתֵ֧ת יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־זֶ֥בַח וְאֶת־צַלְמֻנָּ֖ע בְּיָדִ֑י וְדַשְׁתִּי֙ אֶת־בְּשַׂרְכֶ֔ם אֶת־קוֹצֵ֥י הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר וְאֶת־הַֽבַּרְקֳנִֽים׃ [And Gideon said: 'Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.231/) ## 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:216 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר גִּדְע֔וֹן לָכֵ֗ן בְּתֵ֧ת יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־זֶ֥בַח וְאֶת־צַלְמֻנָּ֖ע בְּיָדִ֑י וְדַשְׁתִּי֙ אֶת־בְּשַׂרְכֶ֔ם אֶת־קוֹצֵ֥י הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר וְאֶת־הַֽבַּרְקֳנִֽים׃ # verse = JDG.8.7 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:7!1|MId=o070080070011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_8:7!1|MId=o070080070012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070080070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 גִּדְע֔וֹן גִּדְעוֹן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Gideon|Ref=JDG_8:7!2|MId=o070080070021|Strong=1439 4-5 לָכֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JDG_8:7!3|MId=o070080070031|Strong=3807a 5 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_8:7!3|MId=o070080070032|Strong=3651 6-7 בְּתֵ֧ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=JDG_8:7!4|MId=o070080070041|Strong=0871a 7 תֵ֧ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 dislocated _ Gloss=gives|Ref=JDG_8:7!4|MId=o070080070042|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070080070051;A1:070080070071;070080070091;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JDG_8:7!5|MId=o070080070051|Strong=3068 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_8:7!6|MId=o070080070061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 זֶ֥בַח זֶבַח PROPN _ _ 7 obj _ Gloss=Zebah|Ref=JDG_8:7!7|MId=o070080070071|Strong=2078 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:7!8|MId=o070080070081|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_8:7!8|MId=o070080070082|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 צַלְמֻנָּ֖ע צַלְמֻנָּע PROPN _ _ 10 conj _ Gloss=Zalmunna|Ref=JDG_8:7!9|MId=o070080070091|Strong=6759 14-16 בְּיָדִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_8:7!10|MId=o070080070101|Strong=0871a 15 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_8:7!10|MId=o070080070102|Strong=3027 16 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_8:7!10|MId=o070080070103|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְדַשְׁתִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:7!11|MId=o070080070111|Strong=2050b 18 דַשְׁתִּי֙ דּוּשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.thresh|Ref=JDG_8:7!11|MId=o070080070112|Strong=1758|Frame=A0:070080070021;A1:070080070131;|Type=weqatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_8:7!12|MId=o070080070121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 בְּשַׂרְכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּשַׂר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=JDG_8:7!13|MId=o070080070131|Strong=1320 21 ְכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_8:7!13|MId=o070080070132|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_8:7!14|MId=o070080070141|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 23 קוֹצֵ֥י קוֹץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=(the).thorns|Ref=JDG_8:7!15|MId=o070080070151|Strong=6975 24-25 הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_8:7!16|MId=o070080070161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 מִּדְבָּ֖ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.wilderness|Ref=JDG_8:7!16|MId=o070080070162|Strong=4057 26-27 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:7!17|MId=o070080070171|Strong=2050b 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_8:7!17|MId=o070080070172|Strong=0854 28-29 הַֽבַּרְקֳנִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_8:7!18|MId=o070080070181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 בַּרְקֳנִֽים בַּרְקָנִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 conj _ Gloss=briers|Ref=JDG_8:7!18|MId=o070080070182|Strong=1303 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=JDG_8:7!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - 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 | גִּדְעוֹן *Gideon* | | | | | תֵת *gives* | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | זֶבַח *Zebah* + צַלְמֻנָּע *Zalmunna* | | | | דַשְׁתִּי *I will thresh* | weqatal · qal | גִּדְעוֹן *Gideon* | בְּשַׂר *flesh* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
