Joshua 4:6 יְהוֹשֻׁעַ

Who acts: this, children, ye · What happens: be, ask, come, say, mean · To what, where: sign · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Joshua 4:6 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 — this, children, ye — and what happens in the verse to sign, 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.

לְמַ֗עַן תִּֽהְיֶ֛ה זֹ֥את א֖וֹת בְּקִרְבְּכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־יִשְׁאָל֨וּן בְּנֵיכֶ֤ם מָחָר֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מָ֛ה הָאֲבָנִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לָכֶֽם׃

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying: What mean ye by these stones?

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.

Pragmatics

form: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · assert · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
תִּֽהְיֶה it may be	yiqtol · qal	זֹאת this
יִשְׁאָלוּ they	yiqtol · qal	בְּנֵי children
אמֹר	infinitive construct · qal	בְּנֵי children	מָה what?

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

בְּדִיל דִתְהֵי דָא אָת בֵּינֵכוֹן אֲרֵי יִשְׁאֲלִין בְּנֵיכוֹן מְחָר לְמֵימָר מָא אַבְנַיָא הָאִלֵין לְכוֹן:

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