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 — God — and what happens in the verse to man, own image, image, cattle, God, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos 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 50 chapters of Genesis on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃ [And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.28/) ## The tree {#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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:26 # text = וַיִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃ # verse = GEN.1.27 1-2 וַיִּבְרָ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_1:27!1|MId=o010010270011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּבְרָ֨א בָּרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.created|Ref=GEN_1:27!1|MId=o010010270012|Strong=1254|Frame=A0:010010270021;A1:010010270042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_1:27!2|MId=o010010270021|Strong=0430 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=GEN_1:27!2 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_1:27!3|MId=o010010270031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הָֽאָדָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_1:27!4|MId=o010010270041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אָדָם֙ אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=GEN_1:27!4|MId=o010010270042|Strong=0120 8-10 בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(in).his|Ref=GEN_1:27!5|MId=o010010270051|Strong=0871a 9 צַלְמ צֶלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=own|Ref=GEN_1:27!5|MId=o010010270052|Strong=6754 10 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=image|Ref=GEN_1:27!5|MId=o010010270053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 בְּצֶ֥לֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(in).the|Ref=GEN_1:27!6|MId=o010010270061|Strong=0871a 12 צֶ֥לֶם צֶלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=image|Ref=GEN_1:27!6|MId=o010010270062|Strong=6754 13 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=GEN_1:27!7|MId=o010010270071|Strong=0430 14 בָּרָ֣א בָּרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.created|Ref=GEN_1:27!8|MId=o010010270081|Strong=1254|Frame=A0:010010270021;A1:010010270092;|Type=qatal 15-16 אֹת֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_1:27!9|MId=o010010270091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_1:27!9|MId=o010010270092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 זָכָ֥ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 xcomp _ Gloss=male|Ref=GEN_1:27!10|MId=o010010270101|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 18-19 וּנְקֵבָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_1:27!11|MId=o010010270111|Strong=2050b 19 נְקֵבָ֖ה נְקֵבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=female|Ref=GEN_1:27!11|MId=o010010270112|Strong=5347 20 בָּרָ֥א בָּרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.created|Ref=GEN_1:27!12|MId=o010010270121|Strong=1254|Frame=A0:010010270021;A1:010010270132;|Type=qatal 21-22 אֹתָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_1:27!13|MId=o010010270131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 22 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_1:27!13|MId=o010010270132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_1:27!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּבְרָא *he created* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | אָדָם *humankind* | | | | בָּרָא *he created* | qatal · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | וֹ *it* | | | | בָּרָא *he created* | qatal · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | ָֽם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
