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 — ye, I — and what happens in the verse to land, seven portions, description, me, lots, 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. וְאַתֶּ֞ם תִּכְתְּב֤וּ אֶת־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שִׁבְעָ֣ה חֲלָקִ֔ים וַֽהֲבֵאתֶ֥ם אֵלַ֖י הֵ֑נָּה וְיָרִ֨יתִי לָכֶ֤ם גּוֹרָל֙ פֹּ֔ה לִפְנֵ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ [And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.465/) ## 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:447 # text = וְאַתֶּ֞ם תִּכְתְּב֤וּ אֶת־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שִׁבְעָ֣ה חֲלָקִ֔ים וַֽהֲבֵאתֶ֥ם אֵלַ֖י הֵ֑נָּה וְיָרִ֨יתִי לָכֶ֤ם גּוֹרָל֙ פֹּ֔ה לִפְנֵ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ # verse = JOS.18.6 1-2 וְאַתֶּ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_18:6!1|MId=o060180060011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתֶּ֞ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_18:6!1|MId=o060180060012|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 3 תִּכְתְּב֤וּ כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.describe.in.writing|Ref=JOS_18:6!2|MId=o060180060021|Strong=3789|Frame=A0:060180060012;A1:060180060042;|Type=yiqtol 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_18:6!3|MId=o060180060031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_18:6!4|MId=o060180060041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=land|Ref=JOS_18:6!4|MId=o060180060042|Strong=0776 7 שִׁבְעָ֣ה שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=JOS_18:6!5|MId=o060180060051|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 8 חֲלָקִ֔ים חֵלֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=portions|Ref=JOS_18:6!6|MId=o060180060061|Strong=2506 9-10 וַֽהֲבֵאתֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_18:6!7|MId=o060180060071|Strong=2050b 10 הֲבֵאתֶ֥ם בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.bring.[it]|Ref=JOS_18:6!7|MId=o060180060072|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:060180030041;|Type=weqatal 11-12 אֵלַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_18:6!8|MId=o060180060081|Strong=0413 12 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=JOS_18:6!8|MId=o060180060082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13 הֵ֑נָּה הֵנָּה ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=hither|Ref=JOS_18:6!9|MId=o060180060091|Strong=2008 14-15 וְיָרִ֨יתִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_18:6!10|MId=o060180060101|Strong=2050b 15 יָרִ֨יתִי יָרָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.will.throw|Ref=JOS_18:6!10|MId=o060180060102|Strong=3384|Frame=A0:060180030021;A1:060180060121;|Type=weqatal 16-17 לָכֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JOS_18:6!11|MId=o060180060111|Strong=3807a 17 ָכֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_18:6!11|MId=o060180060112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18 גּוֹרָל֙ גּוֹרָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=a.lot|Ref=JOS_18:6!12|MId=o060180060121|Strong=1486 19 פֹּ֔ה פֹּה ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=here|Ref=JOS_18:6!13|MId=o060180060131|Strong=6311 20-21 לִפְנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=JOS_18:6!14|MId=o060180060141|Strong=3807a 21 פְנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=JOS_18:6!14|MId=o060180060142|Strong=6440 22 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JOS_18:6!15|MId=o060180060151|Strong=3068 23-24 אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֱלֹהֵֽי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=JOS_18:6!16|MId=o060180060161|Strong=0430 24 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=JOS_18:6!16|MId=o060180060162|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JOS_18:6!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּכְתְּבוּ *you will describe in writing* | yiqtol · qal | אַתֶּם *you* | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | הֲבֵאתֶם *you will bring \[it\]* | weqatal · hiphil | | | | | | יָרִיתִי *I will throw* | weqatal · qal | | גּוֹרָל *a lot* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
