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 — Og, pursuers, ye — and what happens in the verse to you, yourselves, pursuers, way, 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. וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ הָהָ֣רָה לֵּ֔כוּ פֶּֽן־יִפְגְּע֥וּ בָכֶ֖ם הָרֹדְפִ֑ים וְנַחְבֵּתֶ֨ם שָׁ֜מָּה שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים עַ֚ד שׁ֣וֹב הָרֹֽדְפִ֔ים וְאַחַ֖ר תֵּלְכ֥וּ לְדַרְכְּכֶֽם׃ [And she said unto them: 'Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward may ye go your way.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.34/) ## 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:33 # text = וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ הָהָ֣רָה לֵּ֔כוּ פֶּֽן־יִפְגְּע֥וּ בָכֶ֖ם הָרֹדְפִ֑ים וְנַחְבֵּתֶ֨ם שָׁ֜מָּה שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים עַ֚ד שׁ֣וֹב הָרֹֽדְפִ֔ים וְאַחַ֖ר תֵּלְכ֥וּ לְדַרְכְּכֶֽם׃ # verse = JOS.2.16 1-2 וַתֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_2:16!1|MId=o060020160011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=JOS_2:16!1|MId=o060020160012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:060020040022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_2:16!2|MId=o060020160021|Strong=3807a 4 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JOS_2:16!2|MId=o060020160022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-7 הָהָ֣רָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_2:16!3|MId=o060020160031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 הָ֣ר הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.hill|Ref=JOS_2:16!3|MId=o060020160032|Strong=2022 7 ָה ה X _ _ 6 nmod _ Gloss=country|Ref=JOS_2:16!3|MId=o060020160033|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 8 לֵּ֔כוּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=JOS_2:16!4|MId=o060020160041|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:060020140032;|Type=imperative 9 פֶּֽן־ פֶּן SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=lest|Ref=JOS_2:16!5|MId=o060020160051|Strong=6435|SpaceAfter=No 10 יִפְגְּע֥וּ פָּגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 8 advcl _ Gloss=they.should.meet|Ref=JOS_2:16!6|MId=o060020160061|Strong=6293|Frame=A0:060020160082;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 בָכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=JOS_2:16!7|MId=o060020160071|Strong=0871a 12 ָכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_2:16!7|MId=o060020160072|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13-14 הָרֹדְפִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_2:16!8|MId=o060020160081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 רֹדְפִ֑ים רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=pursuers|Ref=JOS_2:16!8|MId=o060020160082|Strong=7291|Type=participle_active 15-16 וְנַחְבֵּתֶ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_2:16!9|MId=o060020160091|Strong=2050b 16 נַחְבֵּתֶ֨ם חבא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you.will.hide.yourselves|Ref=JOS_2:16!9|MId=o060020160092|Strong=2244|Frame=A0:060020140032;|Type=weqatal 17-18 שָׁ֜מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 שָׁ֜מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=JOS_2:16!10|MId=o060020160101|Strong=8033 18 ָה ה X _ _ 17 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JOS_2:16!10|MId=o060020160102|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 19 שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=JOS_2:16!11|MId=o060020160111|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 20 יָמִ֗ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=JOS_2:16!12|MId=o060020160121|Strong=3117 21 עַ֚ד עַד ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JOS_2:16!13|MId=o060020160131|Strong=5704 22 שׁ֣וֹב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 advcl _ Gloss=return|Ref=JOS_2:16!14|MId=o060020160141|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:060020160152;|Type=infinitive_absolute 23-24 הָרֹֽדְפִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_2:16!15|MId=o060020160151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 רֹֽדְפִ֔ים רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 22 nsubj _ Gloss=pursuers|Ref=JOS_2:16!15|MId=o060020160152|Strong=7291|Type=participle_active 25-26 וְאַחַ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_2:16!16|MId=o060020160161|Strong=2050b 26 אַחַ֖ר אַחַר ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=after|Ref=JOS_2:16!16|MId=o060020160162|Strong=0310 27 תֵּלְכ֥וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you.will.go|Ref=JOS_2:16!17|MId=o060020160171|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:060020140032;|Type=jussive 28-30 לְדַרְכְּכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_2:16!18|MId=o060020160181|Strong=3807a 29 דַרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=way|Ref=JOS_2:16!18|MId=o060020160182|Strong=1870 30 ְכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOS_2:16!18|MId=o060020160183|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=JOS_2:16!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
