Judges 20:27 שֹׁפְטִים

Who acts: children, ark, God · What happens: ask, be, covenant

This is Judges 20:27 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 — children, ark, God — and what happens in the verse, 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.

וַיִּשְׁאֲל֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בַּֽיהוָ֑ה וְשָׁ֗ם אֲרוֹן֙ בְּרִ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים בַּיָּמִ֖ים הָהֵֽם׃

And the children of Israel asked of the LORD — for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

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.

וּשְׁאִילוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּמֵימְרָא דַייָ וְתַמָן אֲרוֹן קְיָמָא דַייָ בְּיוֹמַיָא הָאִנוּן:

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