Judges 9:11 שֹׁפְטִים

Who acts: fig tree, I · What happens: say, leave, go, hold · To what, where: sweetness, sway, trees · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Judges 9:11 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 — fig tree, I — and what happens in the verse to sweetness, sway, trees, 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.

וַתֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ הַתְּאֵנָ֔ה הֶחֳדַ֙לְתִּי֙ אֶת־מָתְקִ֔י וְאֶת־תְּנוּבָתִ֖י הַטּוֹבָ֑ה וְהָ֣לַכְתִּ֔י לָנ֖וּעַ עַל־הָעֵצִֽים׃

But the fig-tree said unto them: Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruitage, and go to hold sway over the trees?

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.

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

Targum Jonathan

וַאֲמָרַת לְהוֹן תֵינָתָא הֲאֶשְׁבוֹק יַת חוּלְיִי וְיַת דְבֵילְתִּי שַׁפִּירְתָּא וְאֵהַךְ לְמֶעְבַּד מַלְכוּ עַל אִילָנַיָא:

But the fig-tree said unto them: Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruitage, and go to hold sway over the trees?
