Judges 1:34 שֹׁפְטִים

Who acts: Amorites · What happens: force, not suffer, come down · To what, where: children, hill country, valley

This is Judges 1:34 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — Amorites — and what happens in the verse to children, hill country, valley, 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 21 chapters of Judges on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיִּלְחֲצ֧וּ הָאֱמֹרִ֛י אֶת־בְּנֵי־דָ֖ן הָהָ֑רָה כִּי־לֹ֥א נְתָנ֖וֹ לָרֶ֥דֶת לָעֵֽמֶק׃

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley.

The 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.

וּדְחַקוּ אֱמוֹרָאֵי יַת בְּנֵי דָן לְטוּרָא אֲרֵי לָא שַׁבְקוּנוּן לְמֵחַת לְמֵישְׁרָא:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley.
