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 — king, kings, same, brother — and what happens in the verse to king, vale, slaughter, Chedorlaomer, 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. וַיֵּצֵ֣א מֶֽלֶךְ־סְדֹם֮ לִקְרָאתוֹ֒ אַחֲרֵ֣י שׁוּב֗וֹ מֵֽהַכּוֹת֙ אֶת־כְּדָרלָעֹ֔מֶרוְאֶת־הַמְּלָכִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ אֶל־עֵ֣מֶק שָׁוֵ֔ה ה֖וּא עֵ֥מֶק הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ [And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh — the same is the King's Vale.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.369/) ## 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:353 # text = וַיֵּצֵ֣א מֶֽלֶךְ־סְדֹם֮ לִקְרָאתוֹ֒ אַחֲרֵ֣י שׁוּב֗וֹ מֵֽהַכּוֹת֙ אֶת־כְּדָרלָעֹ֔מֶרוְאֶת־הַמְּלָכִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ אֶל־עֵ֣מֶק שָׁוֵ֔ה ה֖וּא עֵ֥מֶק הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ # verse = GEN.14.17 1-2 וַיֵּצֵ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_14:17!1|MId=o010140170011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּצֵ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went.out|Ref=GEN_14:17!1|MId=o010140170012|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:010140170021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֶֽלֶךְ־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=GEN_14:17!2|MId=o010140170021|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 4 סְדֹם֮ סְדֹם PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Sodom|Ref=GEN_14:17!3|MId=o010140170031|Strong=5467 5-7 לִקְרָאתוֹ֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_14:17!4|MId=o010140170041|Strong=3807a 6 קְרָאת קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=GEN_14:17!4|MId=o010140170042|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:010140170021;A1:010140170043;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 וֹ֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_14:17!4|MId=o010140170043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 אַחֲרֵ֣י אַחַר ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_14:17!5|MId=o010140170051|Strong=0310 9-10 שׁוּב֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 שׁוּב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=returned|Ref=GEN_14:17!6|MId=o010140170061|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:010140170062;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_14:17!6|MId=o010140170062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 מֵֽהַכּוֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_14:17!7|MId=o010140170071|Strong=4480 12 הַכּוֹת֙ נָכָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 9 advcl _ Gloss=when.defeated|Ref=GEN_14:17!7|MId=o010140170072|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:010140140021;A0:010140170091;010140170112;|Type=infinitive_construct 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_14:17!8|MId=o010140170081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14-16 כְּדָרלָעֹ֔מֶרוְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 כְּדָרלָעֹ֔מֶר כְּדׇרְלָעֹמֶר PROPN _ _ 12 obj _ Gloss=Kedorlaomer|Ref=GEN_14:17!9|MId=o010140170091|Strong=3540 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_14:17!10|MId=o010140170101|Strong=2050b 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_14:17!10|MId=o010140170102|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17-18 הַמְּלָכִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_14:17!11|MId=o010140170111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מְּלָכִ֖ים מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 conj _ Gloss=kings|Ref=GEN_14:17!11|MId=o010140170112|Strong=4428 19 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=GEN_14:17!12|MId=o010140170121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20-21 אִתּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[were].with|Ref=GEN_14:17!13|MId=o010140170131|Strong=0854 21 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_14:17!13|MId=o010140170132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_14:17!14|MId=o010140170141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 23 עֵ֣מֶק עֵמֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.valley|Ref=GEN_14:17!15|MId=o010140170151|Strong=6010 24 שָׁוֵ֔ה שָׁוֵה PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Shaveh|Ref=GEN_14:17!16|MId=o010140170161|Strong=7740 25 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=that|Ref=GEN_14:17!17|MId=o010140170171|Strong=1931|Type=personal 26 עֵ֥מֶק עֵמֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 acl _ Gloss=[is].the.valley|Ref=GEN_14:17!18|MId=o010140170181|Strong=6010 27-28 הַמֶּֽלֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_14:17!19|MId=o010140170191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 מֶּֽלֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=GEN_14:17!19|MId=o010140170192|Strong=4428 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=GEN_14:17!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּצֵא *he went out* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֶֽלֶךְ־ *the king* | | | | | קְרָאת *meet* | infinitive construct · qal | מֶֽלֶךְ־ *the king* | וֹ *him* | | | | שׁוּב *returned* | infinitive construct · qal | וֹ *he* | | | | | הַכּוֹת *when defeated* | infinitive construct · hiphil | כְּדָרלָעֹמֶר *Kedorlaomer* + מְּלָכִים *kings* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
