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 — children — and what happens in the verse to inhabitants, Canaanites, land, 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. וְלֹ֤א יָכְלוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה לְהוֹרִ֖ישׁ אֶת־הֶֽעָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַיּ֙וֹאֶל֙ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י לָשֶׁ֖בֶת בָּאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּֽאת׃ [Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites were resolved to dwell in that land.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.453/) ## 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:435 # text = וְלֹ֤א יָכְלוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה לְהוֹרִ֖ישׁ אֶת־הֶֽעָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַיּ֙וֹאֶל֙ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י לָשֶׁ֖בֶת בָּאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּֽאת׃ # verse = JOS.17.12 1-2 וְלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_17:12!1|MId=o060170120011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOS_17:12!1|MId=o060170120012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 יָכְלוּ֙ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.were.able|Ref=JOS_17:12!2|MId=o060170120021|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:060170120031;|Type=qatal 4 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=the.descendants|Ref=JOS_17:12!3|MId=o060170120031|Strong=1121 5 מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה מְנַשֶּׁה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Manasseh|Ref=JOS_17:12!4|MId=o060170120041|Strong=4519 6-7 לְהוֹרִ֖ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_17:12!5|MId=o060170120051|Strong=3807a 7 הוֹרִ֖ישׁ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 3 xcomp _ Gloss=take.possession.of|Ref=JOS_17:12!5|MId=o060170120052|Strong=3423|Frame=AA:060170120031;A0:060170120072;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_17:12!6|MId=o060170120061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הֶֽעָרִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הֶֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_17:12!7|MId=o060170120071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָרִ֣ים עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=cities|Ref=JOS_17:12!7|MId=o060170120072|Strong=5892 11-12 הָאֵ֑לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOS_17:12!8|MId=o060170120081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אֵ֑לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 10 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=JOS_17:12!8|MId=o060170120082|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 13-14 וַיּ֙וֹאֶל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_17:12!9|MId=o060170120091|Strong=2050b 14 יּ֙וֹאֶל֙ יָאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.was.determined|Ref=JOS_17:12!9|MId=o060170120092|Strong=2974|Frame=A0:060170120102;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_17:12!10|MId=o060170120101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 כְּנַעֲנִ֔י כְּנַעֲנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Canaanite[s]|Ref=JOS_17:12!10|MId=o060170120102|Strong=3669|Type=gentilic 17-18 לָשֶׁ֖בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_17:12!11|MId=o060170120111|Strong=3807a 18 שֶׁ֖בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 14 advcl _ Gloss=dwell|Ref=JOS_17:12!11|MId=o060170120112|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:060170120102;|Type=infinitive_construct 19-21 בָּאָ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOS_17:12!12|MId=o060170120121|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_17:12!12|MId=o060170120121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אָ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=JOS_17:12!12|MId=o060170120122|Strong=0776 22-23 הַזֹּֽאת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOS_17:12!13|MId=o060170120131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 זֹּֽאת זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 21 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JOS_17:12!13|MId=o060170120132|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JOS_17:12!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָכְלוּ *they were able* | qatal · qal | בְּנֵי *the descendants* | | | | | הוֹרִישׁ *take possession of* | infinitive construct · hiphil | עָרִים *cities* | | | בְּנֵי *the descendants* | | יּוֹאֶל *he was determined* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | כְּנַעֲנִי *Canaanite\[s\]* | | | | | שֶׁבֶת *dwell* | infinitive construct · qal | כְּנַעֲנִי *Canaanite\[s\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
