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 — LORD, men — and what happens in the verse to Penuel, like manner, LORD, 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. וַיַּ֤עַל מִשָּׁם֙ פְּנוּאֵ֔ל וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם כָּזֹ֑את וַיַּעֲנ֤וּ אוֹתוֹ֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י פְנוּאֵ֔ל כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָנ֖וּ אַנְשֵׁ֥י סֻכּֽוֹת׃ [And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.232/) ## 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:217 # text = וַיַּ֤עַל מִשָּׁם֙ פְּנוּאֵ֔ל וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם כָּזֹ֑את וַיַּעֲנ֤וּ אוֹתוֹ֙ אַנְשֵׁ֣י פְנוּאֵ֔ל כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָנ֖וּ אַנְשֵׁ֥י סֻכּֽוֹת׃ # verse = JDG.8.8 1-2 וַיַּ֤עַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:8!1|MId=o070080080011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֤עַל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went.up|Ref=JDG_8:8!1|MId=o070080080012|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:070080070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 מִשָּׁם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JDG_8:8!2|MId=o070080080021|Strong=4480 4 שָּׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=JDG_8:8!2|MId=o070080080022|Strong=8033 5 פְּנוּאֵ֔ל פְּנוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Penuel|Ref=JDG_8:8!3|MId=o070080080031|Strong=6439a 6-7 וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:8!4|MId=o070080080041|Strong=2050b 7 יְדַבֵּ֥ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=JDG_8:8!4|MId=o070080080042|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:070080070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 אֲלֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_8:8!5|MId=o070080080051|Strong=0413 9 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_8:8!5|MId=o070080080052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 10-11 כָּזֹ֑את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 כָּ כְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JDG_8:8!6|MId=o070080080061|Strong=3509a 11 זֹ֑את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 7 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_8:8!6|MId=o070080080062|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 12-13 וַיַּעֲנ֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_8:8!7|MId=o070080080071|Strong=2050b 13 יַּעֲנ֤וּ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.answered|Ref=JDG_8:8!7|MId=o070080080072|Strong=6030|Frame=A1:070080080082;A0:070080080091;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 אוֹתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_8:8!8|MId=o070080080081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_8:8!8|MId=o070080080082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 אַנְשֵׁ֣י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=the.men|Ref=JDG_8:8!9|MId=o070080080091|Strong=0376 17 פְנוּאֵ֔ל פְּנוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Penuel|Ref=JDG_8:8!10|MId=o070080080101|Strong=6439a 18-19 כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=JDG_8:8!11|MId=o070080080111|Strong=3509a 19 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=JDG_8:8!11|MId=o070080080112|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 עָנ֖וּ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.had.answered|Ref=JDG_8:8!12|MId=o070080080121|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:070080080131;|Type=qatal 21 אַנְשֵׁ֥י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 nsubj _ Gloss=the.men|Ref=JDG_8:8!13|MId=o070080080131|Strong=0376 22 סֻכּֽוֹת סֻכּוֹת PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Succoth|Ref=JDG_8:8!14|MId=o070080080141|Strong=5523|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JDG_8:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַל *he went up* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יְדַבֵּר *he spoke* | wayyiqtol · piel | | | | | | יַּעֲנוּ *they answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַנְשֵׁי *the men* | וֹ *him* | | | | עָנוּ *they had answered* | qatal · qal | אַנְשֵׁי *the men* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
