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 — people, I, Abimelech — and what happens in the verse to hand, Abimelech, army, 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. וּמִ֨י יִתֵּ֜ן אֶת־הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ בְּיָדִ֔י וְאָסִ֖ירָה אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לַאֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ רַבֶּ֥ה צְבָאֲךָ֖ וָצֵֽאָה׃ [And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JDG:273 # text = וּמִ֨י יִתֵּ֜ן אֶת־הָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ בְּיָדִ֔י וְאָסִ֖ירָה אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לַאֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ רַבֶּ֥ה צְבָאֲךָ֖ וָצֵֽאָה׃ # verse = JDG.9.29 1-2 וּמִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:29!1|MId=o070090290011|Strong=2050b 2 מִ֨י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 3 nsubj _ Gloss=who?|Ref=JDG_9:29!1|MId=o070090290012|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 3 יִתֵּ֜ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=will.he.give|Ref=JDG_9:29!2|MId=o070090290021|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:070090290012;A1:070090290042;|Type=yiqtol 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_9:29!3|MId=o070090290031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הָעָ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JDG_9:29!4|MId=o070090290041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 עָ֤ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=JDG_9:29!4|MId=o070090290042|Strong=5971 7-8 הַזֶּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JDG_9:29!5|MId=o070090290051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 זֶּה֙ זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JDG_9:29!5|MId=o070090290052|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 9-11 בְּיָדִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JDG_9:29!6|MId=o070090290061|Strong=0871a 10 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=JDG_9:29!6|MId=o070090290062|Strong=3027 11 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JDG_9:29!6|MId=o070090290063|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְאָסִ֖ירָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:29!7|MId=o070090290071|Strong=2050b 13 אָסִ֖ירָה סוּר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.will.remove|Ref=JDG_9:29!7|MId=o070090290072|Strong=5493|Frame=AA:070090280021;A0:070090290091;|Type=yiqtol 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_9:29!8|MId=o070090290081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 13 obj _ Gloss=Abimelech|Ref=JDG_9:29!9|MId=o070090290091|Strong=0040 16-17 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:29!10|MId=o070090290101|Strong=2050b 17 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JDG_9:29!10|MId=o070090290102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:070090280021;|Type=wayyiqtol 18-19 לַאֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=JDG_9:29!11|MId=o070090290111|Strong=3807a 19 אֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 17 obl _ Gloss=Abimelech|Ref=JDG_9:29!11|MId=o070090290112|Strong=0040 20 רַבֶּ֥ה רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 17 ccomp _ Gloss=make.numerous|Ref=JDG_9:29!12|MId=o070090290121|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:070090290112;A1:070090290131;|Type=imperative 21-22 צְבָאֲךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 צְבָא צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=army|Ref=JDG_9:29!13|MId=o070090290131|Strong=6635 22 ֲךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JDG_9:29!13|MId=o070090290132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-25 וָצֵֽאָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:29!14|MId=o070090290141|Strong=2050b 24 צֵֽא יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 20 conj _ Gloss=come|Ref=JDG_9:29!14|MId=o070090290142|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:070090290112;|Type=imperative 25 ָה ה X _ _ 24 nmod _ Gloss=out|Ref=JDG_9:29!14|MId=o070090290143|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JDG_9:29!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִתֵּן *will he give* | yiqtol · qal | מִי *who?* | עָם *people* | | | | אָסִירָה *I will remove* | yiqtol · hiphil | אֲבִימֶלֶךְ *Abimelech* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | רַבֶּה *make numerous* | imperative · piel | אֲבִימֶלֶךְ *Abimelech* | צְבָא *army* | | | | צֵֽא *come* | imperative · qal | אֲבִימֶלֶךְ *Abimelech* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
