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 — violence, Abimelech, men — and what happens in the verse to violence, blood, men, hands, brethren, 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. לָב֕וֹא חֲמַ֖ס שִׁבְעִ֣ים בְּנֵֽי־יְרֻבָּ֑עַל וְדָמָ֗ם לָשׂ֞וּם עַל־אֲבִימֶ֤לֶךְ אֲחִיהֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָרַ֣ג אוֹתָ֔ם וְעַל֙ בַּעֲלֵ֣י שְׁכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־חִזְּק֥וּ אֶת־יָדָ֖יו לַהֲרֹ֥ג אֶת־אֶחָֽיו׃ [that the violence done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.284/) ## 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:268 # text = לָב֕וֹא חֲמַ֖ס שִׁבְעִ֣ים בְּנֵֽי־יְרֻבָּ֑עַל וְדָמָ֗ם לָשׂ֞וּם עַל־אֲבִימֶ֤לֶךְ אֲחִיהֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָרַ֣ג אוֹתָ֔ם וְעַל֙ בַּעֲלֵ֣י שְׁכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־חִזְּק֥וּ אֶת־יָדָ֖יו לַהֲרֹ֥ג אֶת־אֶחָֽיו׃ # verse = JDG.9.24 1-2 לָב֕וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_9:24!1|MId=o070090240011|Strong=3807a 2 ב֕וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=come|Ref=JDG_9:24!1|MId=o070090240012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:070090240021;|Type=infinitive_construct 3 חֲמַ֖ס חָמָס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.violence|Ref=JDG_9:24!2|MId=o070090240021|Strong=2555 4 שִׁבְעִ֣ים שֶׁבַע NUM _ Number=Plur 5 nummod _ Gloss=of.seventy|Ref=JDG_9:24!3|MId=o070090240031|Strong=7657|Type=cardinal_number 5 בְּנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=JDG_9:24!4|MId=o070090240041|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6 יְרֻבָּ֑עַל יְרֻבַּעַל PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jerub-Baal|Ref=JDG_9:24!5|MId=o070090240051|Strong=3378 7-9 וְדָמָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:24!6|MId=o070090240061|Strong=2050b 8 דָמ דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=blood|Ref=JDG_9:24!6|MId=o070090240062|Strong=1818 9 ָ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_9:24!6|MId=o070090240063|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 10-11 לָשׂ֞וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_9:24!7|MId=o070090240071|Strong=3807a 11 שׂ֞וּם שׂים VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 conj _ Gloss=put|Ref=JDG_9:24!7|MId=o070090240072|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:070090230021;A1:070090240062;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_9:24!8|MId=o070090240081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 13 אֲבִימֶ֤לֶךְ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Abimelech|Ref=JDG_9:24!9|MId=o070090240091|Strong=0040 14-15 אֲחִיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֲחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=JDG_9:24!10|MId=o070090240101|Strong=0251 15 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JDG_9:24!10|MId=o070090240102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=JDG_9:24!11|MId=o070090240111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 הָרַ֣ג הָרַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.killed|Ref=JDG_9:24!12|MId=o070090240121|Strong=2026|Frame=A0:070090240091;A1:070090240132;|Type=qatal 18-19 אוֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JDG_9:24!13|MId=o070090240131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=JDG_9:24!13|MId=o070090240132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְעַל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:24!14|MId=o070090240141|Strong=2050b 21 עַל֙ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JDG_9:24!14|MId=o070090240142|Strong=5921 22 בַּעֲלֵ֣י בַּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=the.citizens|Ref=JDG_9:24!15|MId=o070090240151|Strong=1167 23 שְׁכֶ֔ם שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Shechem|Ref=JDG_9:24!16|MId=o070090240161|Strong=7927a 24 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=JDG_9:24!17|MId=o070090240171|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 25 חִזְּק֥וּ חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.strengthened|Ref=JDG_9:24!18|MId=o070090240181|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:070090240151;A1:070090240201;|Type=qatal 26 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_9:24!19|MId=o070090240191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 יָדָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 יָדָ֖י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 25 obj _ Gloss=hands|Ref=JDG_9:24!20|MId=o070090240201|Strong=3027 28 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_9:24!20|MId=o070090240202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29-30 לַהֲרֹ֥ג _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_9:24!21|MId=o070090240211|Strong=3807a 30 הֲרֹ֥ג הָרַג VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 advcl _ Gloss=kill|Ref=JDG_9:24!21|MId=o070090240212|Strong=2026|Frame=A0:070090240091;A1:070090240231;|Type=infinitive_construct 31 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_9:24!22|MId=o070090240221|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 32-33 אֶחָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 אֶחָֽי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 obj _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=JDG_9:24!23|MId=o070090240231|Strong=0251 33 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JDG_9:24!23|MId=o070090240232|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JDG_9:24!23 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
