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 — Abram, I, we — and what happens in the verse to thee, brethren, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָ֜ם אֶל־ל֗וֹט אַל־נָ֨א תְהִ֤י מְרִיבָה֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔יךָ וּבֵ֥ין רֹעַ֖י וּבֵ֣ין רֹעֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־אֲנָשִׁ֥ים אַחִ֖ים אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃ [And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.342/) ## 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:326 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָ֜ם אֶל־ל֗וֹט אַל־נָ֨א תְהִ֤י מְרִיבָה֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔יךָ וּבֵ֥ין רֹעַ֖י וּבֵ֣ין רֹעֶ֑יךָ כִּֽי־אֲנָשִׁ֥ים אַחִ֖ים אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃ # verse = GEN.13.8 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:8!1|MId=o010130080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_13:8!1|MId=o010130080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010130080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַבְרָ֜ם אַבְרָם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Abram|Ref=GEN_13:8!2|MId=o010130080021|Strong=0087 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_13:8!3|MId=o010130080031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 ל֗וֹט לוֹט PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Lot|Ref=GEN_13:8!4|MId=o010130080041|Strong=3876 6 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_13:8!5|MId=o010130080051|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 7 נָ֨א נָא INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_13:8!6|MId=o010130080061|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 8 תְהִ֤י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 cop _ Gloss=let.it.be|Ref=GEN_13:8!7|MId=o010130080071|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010130080081;|Type=jussive 9 מְרִיבָה֙ מְרִיבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=strife|Ref=GEN_13:8!8|MId=o010130080081|Strong=4808 10-11 בֵּינִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בֵּינ בֵּין ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=GEN_13:8!9|MId=o010130080091|Strong=0996 11 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 ccomp _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_13:8!9|MId=o010130080092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-14 וּבֵינֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:8!10|MId=o010130080101|Strong=2050b 13 בֵינֶ֔י בֵּין ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=GEN_13:8!10|MId=o010130080102|Strong=0996 14 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_13:8!10|MId=o010130080103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-16 וּבֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:8!11|MId=o010130080111|Strong=2050b 16 בֵ֥ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=GEN_13:8!11|MId=o010130080112|Strong=0996 17-18 רֹעַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 רֹע רעה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 11 conj _ Gloss=herdsmen|Ref=GEN_13:8!12|MId=o010130080121|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 18 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_13:8!12|MId=o010130080122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וּבֵ֣ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:8!13|MId=o010130080131|Strong=2050b 20 בֵ֣ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=GEN_13:8!13|MId=o010130080132|Strong=0996 21-22 רֹעֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 רֹעֶ֑י רעה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 17 conj _ Gloss=herdsmen|Ref=GEN_13:8!14|MId=o010130080141|Strong=7473|Type=participle_active 22 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_13:8!14|MId=o010130080142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_13:8!15|MId=o010130080151|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 24 אֲנָשִׁ֥ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 advcl _ Gloss=[are].men|Ref=GEN_13:8!16|MId=o010130080161|Strong=0376 25 אַחִ֖ים אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 appos _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_13:8!17|MId=o010130080171|Strong=0251 26 אֲנָֽחְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=GEN_13:8!18|MId=o010130080181|Strong=0587|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=GEN_13:8!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְרָם *Abram* | | | | | תְהִי *let it be* | jussive · qal | מְרִיבָה *strife* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
