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 Shechem, families, 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. וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ לָהֶ֜ם אֶת־עִ֨יר מִקְלַ֧ט הָרֹצֵ֛חַ אֶת־שְׁכֶ֥ם וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁ֖הָ בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וְאֶת־גֶּ֖זֶר וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶֽׁהָ׃ [And they gave them Shechem with the open land about it in the hill-country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with the open land about it;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.572/) ## 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:550 # text = וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ לָהֶ֜ם אֶת־עִ֨יר מִקְלַ֧ט הָרֹצֵ֛חַ אֶת־שְׁכֶ֥ם וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁ֖הָ בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וְאֶת־גֶּ֖זֶר וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶֽׁהָ׃ # verse = JOS.21.21 1-2 וַיִּתְּנ֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_21:21!1|MId=o060210210011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתְּנ֨וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.gave|Ref=JOS_21:21!1|MId=o060210210012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:060210080021;A1:060210210041;060210210101;060210210141;060210210161;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָהֶ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_21:21!2|MId=o060210210021|Strong=3807a 4 ָהֶ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JOS_21:21!2|MId=o060210210022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_21:21!3|MId=o060210210031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 עִ֨יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=JOS_21:21!4|MId=o060210210041|Strong=5892 7 מִקְלַ֧ט מִקְלָט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.(the).refuge|Ref=JOS_21:21!5|MId=o060210210051|Strong=4733 8-9 הָרֹצֵ֛חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JOS_21:21!6|MId=o060210210061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 רֹצֵ֛חַ רָצַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.killer|Ref=JOS_21:21!6|MId=o060210210062|Strong=7523|Type=participle_active 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_21:21!7|MId=o060210210071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11 שְׁכֶ֥ם שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 6 appos _ Gloss=Shechem|Ref=JOS_21:21!8|MId=o060210210081|Strong=7927a 12-13 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_21:21!9|MId=o060210210091|Strong=2050b 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_21:21!9|MId=o060210210092|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14-15 מִגְרָשֶׁ֖הָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מִגְרָשׁ מִגְרָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=lands|Ref=JOS_21:21!10|MId=o060210210101|Strong=4054 15 ֶ֖הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.pasture|Ref=JOS_21:21!10|MId=o060210210102|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16-17 בְּהַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOS_21:21!11|MId=o060210210111|Strong=0871a 17 הַ֣ר הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nmod _ Gloss=the.hill.country|Ref=JOS_21:21!11|MId=o060210210112|Strong=2022 18 אֶפְרָ֑יִם אֶפְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ephraim|Ref=JOS_21:21!12|MId=o060210210121|Strong=0669 19-20 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_21:21!13|MId=o060210210131|Strong=2050b 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_21:21!13|MId=o060210210132|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 21 גֶּ֖זֶר גֶּזֶר PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Gezer|Ref=JOS_21:21!14|MId=o060210210141|Strong=1507 22-23 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_21:21!15|MId=o060210210151|Strong=2050b 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_21:21!15|MId=o060210210152|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 24-25 מִגְרָשֶֽׁהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מִגְרָשׁ מִגְרָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=lands|Ref=JOS_21:21!16|MId=o060210210161|Strong=4054 25 ֶֽהָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its.pasture|Ref=JOS_21:21!16|MId=o060210210162|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=JOS_21:21!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתְּנוּ *they gave* | wayyiqtol · qal | | עִיר *the city* + מִגְרָשׁ *lands* + גֶּזֶר *Gezer* + מִגְרָשׁ *lands* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
