Judges 21:2 שֹׁפְטִים

Who acts: people · What happens: come, sit, lift up, weep · To what, where: Beth el, voices

This is Judges 21:2 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 — people — and what happens in the verse to Beth el, voices, 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.

וַיָּבֹ֤א הָעָם֙ בֵּֽית־אֵ֔לבֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיֵּ֤שְׁבוּ שָׁם֙ עַד־הָעֶ֔רֶב לִפְנֵ֖י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ קוֹלָ֔ם וַיִּבְכּ֖וּ בְּכִ֥י גָדֽוֹל׃

And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore.

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.

Targum Jonathan

וַאֲתָא עַמָא לְבֵית אֵל וִיתִיבוּ תַמָן עַד רַמְשָׁא קֳדָם יְיָ וַאֲרִימוּ קָלְהוֹן וּבְכוֹ בְּכִי סַגְיָא:
