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 — ye, Abimelech — and what happens in the verse, 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. וְעַתָּ֗ה אִם־בֶּאֱמֶ֤ת וּבְתָמִים֙ עֲשִׂיתֶ֔ם וַתַּמְלִ֖יכוּ אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וְאִם־טוֹבָ֤ה עֲשִׂיתֶם֙ עִם־יְרֻבַּ֣עַל וְעִם־בֵּית֔וֹ וְאִם־כִּגְמ֥וּל יָדָ֖יו עֲשִׂ֥יתֶם לֽוֹ׃ [Now therefore, if ye have dealt truly and uprightly, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.276/) ## 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:260 # text = וְעַתָּ֗ה אִם־בֶּאֱמֶ֤ת וּבְתָמִים֙ עֲשִׂיתֶ֔ם וַתַּמְלִ֖יכוּ אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וְאִם־טוֹבָ֤ה עֲשִׂיתֶם֙ עִם־יְרֻבַּ֣עַל וְעִם־בֵּית֔וֹ וְאִם־כִּגְמ֥וּל יָדָ֖יו עֲשִׂ֥יתֶם לֽוֹ׃ # verse = JDG.9.16 1-2 וְעַתָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:16!1|MId=o070090160011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֗ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=JDG_9:16!1|MId=o070090160012|Strong=6258 3 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JDG_9:16!2|MId=o070090160021|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 בֶּאֱמֶ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_9:16!3|MId=o070090160031|Strong=0871a 5 אֱמֶ֤ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=faithfulness|Ref=JDG_9:16!3|MId=o070090160032|Strong=0571 6-8 וּבְתָמִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:16!4|MId=o070090160041|Strong=2050b 7 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_9:16!4|MId=o070090160042|Strong=0871a 8 תָמִים֙ תָּמִים ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=integrity|Ref=JDG_9:16!4|MId=o070090160043|Strong=8549|Type=adjective 9 עֲשִׂיתֶ֔ם עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.have.acted|Ref=JDG_9:16!5|MId=o070090160051|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070090070151;|Type=qatal 10-11 וַתַּמְלִ֖יכוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:16!6|MId=o070090160061|Strong=2050b 11 תַּמְלִ֖יכוּ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 conj _ Gloss=you.have.made.king|Ref=JDG_9:16!6|MId=o070090160062|Strong=4427|Frame=AA:070090070151;A0:070090160081;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_9:16!7|MId=o070090160071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13 אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 11 obj _ Gloss=Abimelech|Ref=JDG_9:16!8|MId=o070090160081|Strong=0040 14-15 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:16!9|MId=o070090160091|Strong=2050b 15 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JDG_9:16!9|MId=o070090160092|Strong=0518 16 טוֹבָ֤ה טֹובָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=good|Ref=JDG_9:16!10|MId=o070090160101|Strong=2896b|Type=adjective 17 עֲשִׂיתֶם֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.have.done|Ref=JDG_9:16!11|MId=o070090160111|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070090070151;A1:070090160101;|Type=qatal 18 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_9:16!12|MId=o070090160121|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 19 יְרֻבַּ֣עַל יְרֻבַּעַל PROPN _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=Jerub-Baal|Ref=JDG_9:16!13|MId=o070090160131|Strong=3378 20-21 וְעִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:16!14|MId=o070090160141|Strong=2050b 21 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JDG_9:16!14|MId=o070090160142|Strong=5973 22-23 בֵּית֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בֵּית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 conj _ Gloss=house|Ref=JDG_9:16!15|MId=o070090160151|Strong=1004 23 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_9:16!15|MId=o070090160152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:16!16|MId=o070090160161|Strong=2050b 25 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 30 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=JDG_9:16!16|MId=o070090160162|Strong=0518 26-27 כִּגְמ֥וּל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=JDG_9:16!17|MId=o070090160171|Strong=3509a 27 גְמ֥וּל גְּמוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=to.the.dealing|Ref=JDG_9:16!17|MId=o070090160172|Strong=1576 28-29 יָדָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 יָדָ֖י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.hands|Ref=JDG_9:16!18|MId=o070090160181|Strong=3027 29 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_9:16!18|MId=o070090160182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 עֲשִׂ֥יתֶם עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.have.done|Ref=JDG_9:16!19|MId=o070090160191|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:070090070151;|Type=qatal 31-32 לֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 ל לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_9:16!20|MId=o070090160201|Strong=3807a 32 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=JDG_9:16!20|MId=o070090160202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JDG_9:16!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
