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 — Joshua, LORD — and what happens in the verse to hewers, lives, place, 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. וַיִּתְּנֵ֨ם יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא חֹטְבֵ֥י עֵצִ֛ים וְשֹׁ֥אֲבֵי מַ֖יִם לָֽעֵדָ֑ה וּלְמִזְבַּ֤ח יְהוָה֙ עַד־הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִבְחָֽר׃פ [And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, unto this day, in the place which He should choose.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.220/) ## 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:212 # text = וַיִּתְּנֵ֨ם יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא חֹטְבֵ֥י עֵצִ֛ים וְשֹׁ֥אֲבֵי מַ֖יִם לָֽעֵדָ֑ה וּלְמִזְבַּ֤ח יְהוָה֙ עַד־הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִבְחָֽר׃פ # verse = JOS.9.27 1-3 וַיִּתְּנֵ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_9:27!1|MId=o060090270011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתְּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=JOS_9:27!1|MId=o060090270012|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:060090270013;A0:060090270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ֵ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=made.them|Ref=JOS_9:27!1|MId=o060090270013|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 4 יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ יְהֹושֻׁעַ PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Joshua|Ref=JOS_9:27!2|MId=o060090270021|Strong=3091 5-7 בַּיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JOS_9:27!3|MId=o060090270031|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_9:27!3|MId=o060090270031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JOS_9:27!3|MId=o060090270032|Strong=3117 8-9 הַה֗וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOS_9:27!4|MId=o060090270041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 ה֗וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=JOS_9:27!4|MId=o060090270042|Strong=1931|Type=personal 10 חֹטְבֵ֥י חָטַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 xcomp _ Gloss=cutters|Ref=JOS_9:27!5|MId=o060090270051|Strong=2404|Frame=A0:060090070062;A1:060090270061;|Type=participle_active 11 עֵצִ֛ים עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wood(s)|Ref=JOS_9:27!6|MId=o060090270061|Strong=6086 12-13 וְשֹׁ֥אֲבֵי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_9:27!7|MId=o060090270071|Strong=2050b 13 שֹׁ֥אֲבֵי שָׁאַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=drawers|Ref=JOS_9:27!7|MId=o060090270072|Strong=7579|Frame=A0:060090070062;A1:060090270081;|Type=participle_active 14 מַ֖יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.water|Ref=JOS_9:27!8|MId=o060090270081|Strong=4325 15-17 לָֽעֵדָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לָֽ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JOS_9:27!9|MId=o060090270091|Strong=3807a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_9:27!9|MId=o060090270091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 עֵדָ֑ה עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=congregation|Ref=JOS_9:27!9|MId=o060090270092|Strong=5712 18-20 וּלְמִזְבַּ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_9:27!10|MId=o060090270101|Strong=2050b 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JOS_9:27!10|MId=o060090270102|Strong=3807a 20 מִזְבַּ֤ח מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=the.altar|Ref=JOS_9:27!10|MId=o060090270103|Strong=4196 21 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JOS_9:27!11|MId=o060090270111|Strong=3068 22 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JOS_9:27!12|MId=o060090270121|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 הַיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_9:27!13|MId=o060090270131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JOS_9:27!13|MId=o060090270132|Strong=3117 25-26 הַזֶּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOS_9:27!14|MId=o060090270141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 זֶּ֔ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 24 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JOS_9:27!14|MId=o060090270142|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 27 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_9:27!15|MId=o060090270151|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 הַמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_9:27!16|MId=o060090270161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=JOS_9:27!16|MId=o060090270162|Strong=4725 30 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JOS_9:27!17|MId=o060090270171|Strong=0834|Type=relative 31 יִבְחָֽר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 29 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.choose|Ref=JOS_9:27!18|MId=o060090270181|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:060090270111;A1:060090270162;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JOS_9:27!18|SpaceAfter=No 33 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=JOS_9:27!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
