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 — priests, Jordan — and what happens in the verse to ark, feet, brink, banks, 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. וּכְב֞וֹא נֹשְׂאֵ֤י הָֽאָרוֹן֙ עַד־הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן וְרַגְלֵ֤י הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ נֹשְׂאֵ֣י הָֽאָר֔וֹן נִטְבְּל֖וּ בִּקְצֵ֣ה הַמָּ֑יִם וְהַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן מָלֵא֙ עַל־כָּל־גְּדוֹתָ֔יו כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י קָצִֽיר׃ [and when they that bore the ark were come unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water — for the Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.57/) ## 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:56 # text = וּכְב֞וֹא נֹשְׂאֵ֤י הָֽאָרוֹן֙ עַד־הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן וְרַגְלֵ֤י הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ נֹשְׂאֵ֣י הָֽאָר֔וֹן נִטְבְּל֖וּ בִּקְצֵ֣ה הַמָּ֑יִם וְהַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן מָלֵא֙ עַל־כָּל־גְּדוֹתָ֔יו כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י קָצִֽיר׃ # verse = JOS.3.15 1-3 וּכְב֞וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_3:15!1|MId=o060030150011|Strong=2050b 2 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=JOS_3:15!1|MId=o060030150012|Strong=3509a 3 ב֞וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=as.came|Ref=JOS_3:15!1|MId=o060030150013|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:060030150021;|Type=infinitive_construct 4 נֹשְׂאֵ֤י נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=[those.who].carry|Ref=JOS_3:15!2|MId=o060030150021|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:060030140083;A1:060030150032;|Type=participle_active 5-6 הָֽאָרוֹן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(of).the|Ref=JOS_3:15!3|MId=o060030150031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אָרוֹן֙ אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ark|Ref=JOS_3:15!3|MId=o060030150032|Strong=0727 7 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_3:15!4|MId=o060030150041|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_3:15!5|MId=o060030150051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 יַּרְדֵּ֔ן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Jordan|Ref=JOS_3:15!5|MId=o060030150052|Strong=3383 10-11 וְרַגְלֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_3:15!6|MId=o060030150061|Strong=2050b 11 רַגְלֵ֤י רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 17 nsubj _ Gloss=the.feet|Ref=JOS_3:15!6|MId=o060030150062|Strong=7272 12-13 הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JOS_3:15!7|MId=o060030150071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 כֹּֽהֲנִים֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.priests|Ref=JOS_3:15!7|MId=o060030150072|Strong=3548 14 נֹשְׂאֵ֣י נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 13 appos _ Gloss=[who].carry|Ref=JOS_3:15!8|MId=o060030150081|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:060030150072;A1:060030150092;|Type=participle_active 15-16 הָֽאָר֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(of).the|Ref=JOS_3:15!9|MId=o060030150091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אָר֔וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ark|Ref=JOS_3:15!9|MId=o060030150092|Strong=0727 17 נִטְבְּל֖וּ טָבַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.were.dipped|Ref=JOS_3:15!10|MId=o060030150101|Strong=2881|Frame=A0:060030150062;|Type=qatal 18-19 בִּקְצֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOS_3:15!11|MId=o060030150111|Strong=0871a 19 קְצֵ֣ה קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.edge|Ref=JOS_3:15!11|MId=o060030150112|Strong=7097 20-21 הַמָּ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JOS_3:15!12|MId=o060030150121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 מָּ֑יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.waters|Ref=JOS_3:15!12|MId=o060030150122|Strong=4325 22-24 וְהַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_3:15!13|MId=o060030150131|Strong=2050b 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_3:15!13|MId=o060030150132|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 יַּרְדֵּ֗ן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 25 nsubj _ Gloss=Jordan|Ref=JOS_3:15!13|MId=o060030150133|Strong=3383 25 מָלֵא֙ מָלֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=it.is.full|Ref=JOS_3:15!14|MId=o060030150141|Strong=4390|Frame=A0:060030150133;|Type=qatal 26 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=JOS_3:15!15|MId=o060030150151|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 27 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JOS_3:15!16|MId=o060030150161|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 גְּדוֹתָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 גְּדוֹתָ֔י גִּדְיָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=banks|Ref=JOS_3:15!17|MId=o060030150171|Strong=1415 29 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JOS_3:15!17|MId=o060030150172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JOS_3:15!18|MId=o060030150181|Strong=3605 31 יְמֵ֥י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[the].days|Ref=JOS_3:15!19|MId=o060030150191|Strong=3117 32 קָצִֽיר קָצִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.harvest|Ref=JOS_3:15!20|MId=o060030150201|Strong=7105|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=JOS_3:15!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
