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 — Joshua, thou — and what happens in the verse to Ephraim, great people, great power, one lot, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית יוֹסֵ֔ף לְאֶפְרַ֥יִם וְלִמְנַשֶּׁ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר עַם־רַ֣ב אַתָּ֗ה וְכֹ֤חַ גָּדוֹל֙ לָ֔ךְ לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֥ה לְךָ֖ גּוֹרָ֥ל אֶחָֽד׃ [And Joshua spoke unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying: 'Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.458/) ## 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:440 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית יוֹסֵ֔ף לְאֶפְרַ֥יִם וְלִמְנַשֶּׁ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר עַם־רַ֣ב אַתָּ֗ה וְכֹ֤חַ גָּדוֹל֙ לָ֔ךְ לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֥ה לְךָ֖ גּוֹרָ֥ל אֶחָֽד׃ # verse = JOS.17.17 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_17:17!1|MId=o060170170011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=JOS_17:17!1|MId=o060170170012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:060170170021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ יְהֹושֻׁעַ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Joshua|Ref=JOS_17:17!2|MId=o060170170021|Strong=3091 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_17:17!3|MId=o060170170031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JOS_17:17!4|MId=o060170170041|Strong=1004 6 יוֹסֵ֔ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Joseph|Ref=JOS_17:17!5|MId=o060170170051|Strong=3130 7-8 לְאֶפְרַ֥יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_17:17!6|MId=o060170170061|Strong=3807a 8 אֶפְרַ֥יִם אֶפְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 5 nmod _ Gloss=Ephraim|Ref=JOS_17:17!6|MId=o060170170062|Strong=0669 9-11 וְלִמְנַשֶּׁ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_17:17!7|MId=o060170170071|Strong=2050b 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_17:17!7|MId=o060170170072|Strong=3807a 11 מְנַשֶּׁ֖ה מְנַשֶּׁה PROPN _ _ 8 conj _ Gloss=Manasseh|Ref=JOS_17:17!7|MId=o060170170073|Strong=4519 12-13 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 14 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JOS_17:17!8|MId=o060170170081|Strong=3807a 13 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JOS_17:17!8|MId=o060170170082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:060170170021;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 עַם־ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[are].a.people|Ref=JOS_17:17!9|MId=o060170170091|Strong=5971|SpaceAfter=No 15 רַ֣ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 amod _ Gloss=numerous|Ref=JOS_17:17!10|MId=o060170170101|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 16 אַתָּ֗ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_17:17!11|MId=o060170170111|Strong=0859|Type=personal 17-18 וְכֹ֤חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_17:17!12|MId=o060170170121|Strong=2050b 18 כֹ֤חַ כֹּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=strength|Ref=JOS_17:17!12|MId=o060170170122|Strong=3581 19 גָּדוֹל֙ גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=JOS_17:17!13|MId=o060170170131|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 20-21 לָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=JOS_17:17!14|MId=o060170170141|Strong=3807a 21 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_17:17!14|MId=o060170170142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOS_17:17!15|MId=o060170170151|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 23 יִהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 cop _ Gloss=it.will.belong|Ref=JOS_17:17!16|MId=o060170170161|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:060170170181;|Type=yiqtol 24-25 לְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_17:17!17|MId=o060170170171|Strong=3807a 25 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_17:17!17|MId=o060170170172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 גּוֹרָ֥ל גּוֹרָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=a.lot|Ref=JOS_17:17!18|MId=o060170170181|Strong=1486 27 אֶחָֽד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=JOS_17:17!19|MId=o060170170191|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JOS_17:17!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוֹשֻׁעַ *Joshua* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוֹשֻׁעַ *Joshua* | | | | | יִהְיֶה *it will belong* | yiqtol · qal | גּוֹרָל *a lot* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
