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 — men, Abimelech, pillar — and what happens in the verse to men, king, Shechem, 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. וַיֵּאָ֨סְפ֜וּ כָּל־בַּעֲלֵ֤י שְׁכֶם֙ וְכָל־בֵּ֣ית מִלּ֔וֹא בֵּ֣ית מִלּ֔וֹא וַיֵּ֣לְכ֔וּ וַיַּמְלִ֥יכוּ אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֖לֶךְ לְמֶ֑לֶךְ עִם־אֵל֥וֹן מֻצָּ֖ב אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּשְׁכֶֽם׃ [And all the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all Beth-millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the terebinth of the pillar that was in Shechem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JDG.266/) ## 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:250 # text = וַיֵּאָ֨סְפ֜וּ כָּל־בַּעֲלֵ֤י שְׁכֶם֙ וְכָל־בֵּ֣ית מִלּ֔וֹא בֵּ֣ית מִלּ֔וֹא וַיֵּ֣לְכ֔וּ וַיַּמְלִ֥יכוּ אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֖לֶךְ לְמֶ֑לֶךְ עִם־אֵל֥וֹן מֻצָּ֖ב אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּשְׁכֶֽם׃ # verse = JDG.9.6 1-2 וַיֵּאָ֨סְפ֜וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:6!1|MId=o070090060011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּאָ֨סְפ֜וּ אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.gathered|Ref=JDG_9:6!1|MId=o070090060012|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:070090060031;070090060061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_9:6!2|MId=o070090060021|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4 בַּעֲלֵ֤י בַּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.citizens|Ref=JDG_9:6!3|MId=o070090060031|Strong=1167 5 שְׁכֶם֙ שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Shechem|Ref=JDG_9:6!4|MId=o070090060041|Strong=7927a 6-7 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:6!5|MId=o070090060051|Strong=2050b 7 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=JDG_9:6!5|MId=o070090060052|Strong=3605 8 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Beth|Ref=JDG_9:6!6|MId=o070090060061 9 מִלּ֔וֹא _ NOUN _ _ 8 flat _ Ref=JDG_9:6!6 10 בֵּ֣ית מִלּוֹא PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Millo|Ref=JDG_9:6!7|MId=o070090060071 11 מִלּ֔וֹא _ PROPN _ _ 10 flat:name _ Ref=JDG_9:6!7 12-13 וַיֵּ֣לְכ֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:6!8|MId=o070090060081|Strong=2050b 13 יֵּ֣לְכ֔וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=JDG_9:6!8|MId=o070090060082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:070090060031;070090060061;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 וַיַּמְלִ֥יכוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JDG_9:6!9|MId=o070090060091|Strong=2050b 15 יַּמְלִ֥יכוּ מָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.made.king|Ref=JDG_9:6!9|MId=o070090060092|Strong=4427|Frame=AA:070090060031;070090060061;A0:070090060101;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JDG_9:6!10|MId=o070090060101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17 אֲבִימֶ֖לֶךְ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ PROPN _ _ 15 obj _ Gloss=Abimelech|Ref=JDG_9:6!11|MId=o070090060111|Strong=0040 18-19 לְמֶ֑לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JDG_9:6!12|MId=o070090060121|Strong=3807a 19 מֶ֑לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=king|Ref=JDG_9:6!12|MId=o070090060122|Strong=4428 20 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=near|Ref=JDG_9:6!13|MId=o070090060131|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 21 אֵל֥וֹן אֵלוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=[the].great.tree|Ref=JDG_9:6!14|MId=o070090060141|Strong=0436 22 מֻצָּ֖ב מֻצָּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[which.had.been].set.up|Ref=JDG_9:6!15|MId=o070090060151|Strong=5324|Frame=A0:070090060131;|Type=participle_passive 23 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JDG_9:6!16|MId=o070090060161|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24-25 בִּשְׁכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=JDG_9:6!17|MId=o070090060171|Strong=0871a 25 שְׁכֶֽם שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=Shechem|Ref=JDG_9:6!17|MId=o070090060172|Strong=7927a 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JDG_9:6!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּאָסְפוּ *they gathered* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | בַּעֲלֵי *the citizens* + בֵּית *Beth* | | | | יֵּלְכוּ *they went* | wayyiqtol · qal | בַּעֲלֵי *the citizens* + בֵּית *Beth* | | | | | יַּמְלִיכוּ *they made king* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | אֶת־ *(et)* | | | בַּעֲלֵי *the citizens* + בֵּית *Beth* | | מֻצָּב *\[which had been\] set up* | participle passive · hophal | עִם־ *near* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
