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 city, fire, you, LORD, 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. וְהָיָ֞ה כְּתָפְשְׂכֶ֣ם אֶת־הָעִ֗יר תַּצִּ֤יתוּ אֶת־הָעִיר֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה תַּעֲשׂ֑וּ רְא֖וּ צִוִּ֥יתִי אֶתְכֶֽם׃ [And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the LORD shall ye do; see, I have commanded you.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.163/) ## 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:158 # text = וְהָיָ֞ה כְּתָפְשְׂכֶ֣ם אֶת־הָעִ֗יר תַּצִּ֤יתוּ אֶת־הָעִיר֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה תַּעֲשׂ֑וּ רְא֖וּ צִוִּ֥יתִי אֶתְכֶֽם׃ # verse = JOS.8.8 1-2 וְהָיָ֞ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_8:8!1|MId=o060080080011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֞ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=JOS_8:8!1|MId=o060080080012|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 3-5 כְּתָפְשְׂכֶ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=JOS_8:8!2|MId=o060080080021|Strong=3509a 4 תָפְשׂ תָּפַשׂ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=as|Ref=JOS_8:8!2|MId=o060080080022|Strong=8610|Frame=A0:060080080023;A1:060080080042;|Type=infinitive_construct 5 ְכֶ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=you.have.captured|Ref=JOS_8:8!2|MId=o060080080023|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_8:8!3|MId=o060080080031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הָעִ֗יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_8:8!4|MId=o060080080041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 עִ֗יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=city|Ref=JOS_8:8!4|MId=o060080080042|Strong=5892 9 תַּצִּ֤יתוּ יָצַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.set.on.fire|Ref=JOS_8:8!5|MId=o060080080051|Strong=3341|Frame=AA:060080030121;A0:060080080072;|Type=yiqtol 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_8:8!6|MId=o060080080061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הָעִיר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_8:8!7|MId=o060080080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 עִיר֙ עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=city|Ref=JOS_8:8!7|MId=o060080080072|Strong=5892 13-15 בָּאֵ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=JOS_8:8!8|MId=o060080080081|Strong=0871a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOS_8:8!8|MId=o060080080081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 אֵ֔שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=JOS_8:8!8|MId=o060080080082|Strong=0784 16-17 כִּדְבַ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=JOS_8:8!9|MId=o060080080091|Strong=3509a 17 דְבַ֥ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=to.the.word|Ref=JOS_8:8!9|MId=o060080080092|Strong=1697 18 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JOS_8:8!10|MId=o060080080101|Strong=3068 19 תַּעֲשׂ֑וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=JOS_8:8!11|MId=o060080080111|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:060080030121;|Type=yiqtol 20 רְא֖וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=see|Ref=JOS_8:8!12|MId=o060080080121|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:060080030121;|Type=imperative 21 צִוִּ֥יתִי צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 20 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.commanded|Ref=JOS_8:8!13|MId=o060080080131|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:060080030091;A1:060080080142;|Type=qatal 22-23 אֶתְכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JOS_8:8!14|MId=o060080080141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 23 ְכֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JOS_8:8!14|MId=o060080080142|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JOS_8:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תָפְשׂ *as* | infinitive construct · qal | ְכֶם *you have captured* | עִיר *city* | | | | תַּצִּיתוּ *you will set on fire* | yiqtol · hiphil | עִיר *city* | | | | | תַּעֲשׂוּ *you will do* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | רְאוּ *see* | imperative · qal | | | | | | צִוִּיתִי *I have commanded* | qatal · piel | | ְכֶֽם *you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
