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 — and what happens in the verse to city, wall, houses, windows, 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 4 chapters of Joel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. בָּעִ֣יר יָשֹׁ֗קּוּ בַּֽחוֹמָה֙ יְרֻצ֔וּן בַּבָּתִּ֖ים יַעֲל֑וּ בְּעַ֧ד הַחַלּוֹנִ֛ים יָבֹ֖אוּ כַּגַּנָּֽב׃ [They leap upon the city, they run upon the wall, they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOL.29/) ## 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:JOL:28 # text = בָּעִ֣יר יָשֹׁ֗קּוּ בַּֽחוֹמָה֙ יְרֻצ֔וּן בַּבָּתִּ֖ים יַעֲל֑וּ בְּעַ֧ד הַחַלּוֹנִ֛ים יָבֹ֖אוּ כַּגַּנָּֽב׃ # verse = JOL.2.9 1-3 בָּעִ֣יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOL_2:9!1|MId=o290020090011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOL_2:9!1|MId=o290020090011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 עִ֣יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=city|Ref=JOL_2:9!1|MId=o290020090012|Strong=5892 4 יָשֹׁ֗קּוּ שָׁקַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.rush|Ref=JOL_2:9!2|MId=o290020090021|Strong=8264|Frame=A0:290020020111;|Type=yiqtol 5-7 בַּֽחוֹמָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOL_2:9!3|MId=o290020090031|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOL_2:9!3|MId=o290020090031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 חוֹמָה֙ חוֹמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=wall|Ref=JOL_2:9!3|MId=o290020090032|Strong=2346 8-9 יְרֻצ֔וּן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 יְרֻצ֔וּ רוּץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they|Ref=JOL_2:9!4|MId=o290020090041|Strong=7323|Frame=A0:290020020111;|Type=yiqtol 9 ן נ X _ _ 8 nmod _ Gloss=run|Ref=JOL_2:9!4|MId=o290020090042|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 10-12 בַּבָּתִּ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOL_2:9!5|MId=o290020090051|Strong=0871a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOL_2:9!5|MId=o290020090051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 בָּתִּ֖ים בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=houses|Ref=JOL_2:9!5|MId=o290020090052|Strong=1004 13 יַעֲל֑וּ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.go.up|Ref=JOL_2:9!6|MId=o290020090061|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:290020020111;|Type=yiqtol 14 בְּעַ֧ד בַּעַד ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=through|Ref=JOL_2:9!7|MId=o290020090071|Strong=1157 15-16 הַחַלּוֹנִ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOL_2:9!8|MId=o290020090081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 חַלּוֹנִ֛ים חַלּוֹן NOUN _ Number=Plur 17 obl _ Gloss=windows|Ref=JOL_2:9!8|MId=o290020090082|Strong=2474 17 יָבֹ֖אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.go|Ref=JOL_2:9!9|MId=o290020090091|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:290020020111;|Type=yiqtol 18-20 כַּגַּנָּֽב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JOL_2:9!10|MId=o290020090101|Strong=3509a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOL_2:9!10|MId=o290020090101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 גַּנָּֽב גַּנָּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=thief|Ref=JOL_2:9!10|MId=o290020090102|Strong=1590 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=JOL_2:9!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָשֹׁקּוּ *they rush* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יְרֻצוּ *they* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יַעֲלוּ *they go up* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יָבֹאוּ *they go* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
