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 — cities — and what happens in the verse to Kabzeel, 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 24 chapters of Joshua on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיִּֽהְי֣וּ הֶעָרִ֗ים מִקְצֵה֙ לְמַטֵּ֣ה בְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָ֔ה אֶל־גְּב֥וּל אֱד֖וֹם בַּנֶּ֑גְבָּה קַבְצְאֵ֥ל וְעֵ֖דֶר וְיָגֽוּר׃ [And the cities at the uttermost part of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.387/) ## 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:JOS:371 # text = וַיִּֽהְי֣וּ הֶעָרִ֗ים מִקְצֵה֙ לְמַטֵּ֣ה בְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָ֔ה אֶל־גְּב֥וּל אֱד֖וֹם בַּנֶּ֑גְבָּה קַבְצְאֵ֥ל וְעֵ֖דֶר וְיָגֽוּר׃ # verse = JOS.15.21 1-2 וַיִּֽהְי֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_15:21!1|MId=o060150210011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּֽהְי֣וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=they.were|Ref=JOS_15:21!1|MId=o060150210012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:060150210022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הֶעָרִ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_15:21!2|MId=o060150210021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 עָרִ֗ים עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=cities|Ref=JOS_15:21!2|MId=o060150210022|Strong=5892 5-6 מִקְצֵה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=JOS_15:21!3|MId=o060150210031|Strong=4480 6 קְצֵה֙ קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 nmod _ Gloss=end|Ref=JOS_15:21!3|MId=o060150210032|Strong=7097 7-8 לְמַטֵּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=JOS_15:21!4|MId=o060150210041|Strong=3807a 8 מַטֵּ֣ה מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nmod _ Gloss=the.tribe|Ref=JOS_15:21!4|MId=o060150210042|Strong=4294 9 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.descendants|Ref=JOS_15:21!5|MId=o060150210051|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְהוּדָ֔ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=JOS_15:21!6|MId=o060150210061|Strong=3063 11 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_15:21!7|MId=o060150210071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 12 גְּב֥וּל גְּבוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=the.border|Ref=JOS_15:21!8|MId=o060150210081|Strong=1366 13 אֱד֖וֹם אֱדוֹם PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Edom|Ref=JOS_15:21!9|MId=o060150210091|Strong=0123 14-17 בַּנֶּ֑גְבָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOS_15:21!10|MId=o060150210101|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_15:21!10|MId=o060150210101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 נֶּ֑גְבּ נֶגֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nmod _ Gloss=south|Ref=JOS_15:21!10|MId=o060150210102|Strong=5045 17 ָה ה X _ _ 16 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=JOS_15:21!10|MId=o060150210103|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 18 קַבְצְאֵ֥ל קַבְצְאֵל PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=Kabzeel|Ref=JOS_15:21!11|MId=o060150210111|Strong=6909 19-20 וְעֵ֖דֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_15:21!12|MId=o060150210121|Strong=2050b 20 עֵ֖דֶר עֵדֶר PROPN _ _ 18 conj _ Gloss=Eder|Ref=JOS_15:21!12|MId=o060150210122|Strong=5740a 21-22 וְיָגֽוּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_15:21!13|MId=o060150210131|Strong=2050b 22 יָגֽוּר יָגוּר PROPN _ _ 18 conj _ Gloss=Jagur|Ref=JOS_15:21!13|MId=o060150210132|Strong=3017 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=JOS_15:21!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּֽהְיוּ *they were* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָרִים *cities* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
