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 — you, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to whole land, thyself, thee, left hand, right, right hand, 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. הֲלֹ֤א כָל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י אִם־הַשְּׂמֹ֣אל וְאֵימִ֔נָה וְאִם־הַיָּמִ֖ין וְאַשְׂמְאִֽילָה׃ [Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.343/) ## 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:327 # text = הֲלֹ֤א כָל־הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵעָלָ֑י אִם־הַשְּׂמֹ֣אל וְאֵימִ֔נָה וְאִם־הַיָּמִ֖ין וְאַשְׂמְאִֽילָה׃ # verse = GEN.13.9 1-2 הֲלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=GEN_13:9!1|MId=o010130090011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_13:9!1|MId=o010130090012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].all|Ref=GEN_13:9!2|MId=o010130090021|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_13:9!3|MId=o010130090031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=land|Ref=GEN_13:9!3|MId=o010130090032|Strong=0776 6-8 לְפָנֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_13:9!4|MId=o010130090041|Strong=3807a 7 פָנֶ֔י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_13:9!4|MId=o010130090042|Strong=6440 8 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_13:9!4|MId=o010130090043|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 הִפָּ֥רֶד פָּרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 parataxis _ Gloss=separate|Ref=GEN_13:9!5|MId=o010130090051|Strong=6504|Frame=A0:010130080041;|Type=imperative 10 נָ֖א נָא INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_13:9!6|MId=o010130090061|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 11-13 מֵעָלָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_13:9!7|MId=o010130090071|Strong=4480 12 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_13:9!7|MId=o010130090072|Strong=5921 13 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_13:9!7|MId=o010130090073|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_13:9!8|MId=o010130090081|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 הַשְּׂמֹ֣אל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_13:9!9|MId=o010130090091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שְּׂמֹ֣אל שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 advcl _ Gloss=left|Ref=GEN_13:9!9|MId=o010130090092|Strong=8040 17-18 וְאֵימִ֔נָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:9!10|MId=o010130090101|Strong=2050b 18 אֵימִ֔נָה יָמַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.go.to.the.right|Ref=GEN_13:9!10|MId=o010130090102|Strong=3231|Frame=A0:010130080021;|Type=cohortative 19-20 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:9!11|MId=o010130090111|Strong=2050b 20 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_13:9!11|MId=o010130090112|Strong=0518 21-22 הַיָּמִ֖ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_13:9!12|MId=o010130090121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 יָּמִ֖ין יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 advcl _ Gloss=right|Ref=GEN_13:9!12|MId=o010130090122|Strong=3225 23-24 וְאַשְׂמְאִֽילָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_13:9!13|MId=o010130090131|Strong=2050b 24 אַשְׂמְאִֽילָה שִׂמְאֵל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 conj _ Gloss=I.will.go.to.the.left|Ref=GEN_13:9!13|MId=o010130090132|Strong=8041|Frame=A0:010130080021;|Type=cohortative 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_13:9!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִפָּרֶד *separate* | imperative · niphal | | | | | | אֵימִנָה *I will go to the right* | cohortative · hiphil | | | | | | אַשְׂמְאִֽילָה *I will go to the left* | cohortative · hiphil | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
