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 — Melchizedek king, king — and what happens in the verse to bread, priest, 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. וּמַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙מַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ שָׁלֵ֔ם הוֹצִ֖יא לֶ֣חֶם וָיָ֑יִן וְה֥וּא כֹהֵ֖ן לְאֵ֥ל עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ [And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was priest of God the Most High.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.370/) ## 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:354 # text = וּמַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙מַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ שָׁלֵ֔ם הוֹצִ֖יא לֶ֣חֶם וָיָ֑יִן וְה֥וּא כֹהֵ֖ן לְאֵ֥ל עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ # verse = GEN.14.18 1-3 וּמַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙מַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_14:18!1|MId=o010140180011|Strong=2050b 2 מַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙ מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Melchizedek|Ref=GEN_14:18!1|MId=o010140180012 3 מַלְכִּי־צֶ֙דֶק֙ מַלְכִּיצֶדֶק PROPN _ _ 2 appos _ Gloss=Melchizedek|Ref=GEN_14:18!2|MId=o010140180021 4 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=GEN_14:18!3|MId=o010140180031|Strong=4428 5 שָׁלֵ֔ם שָׁלֵם PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Salem|Ref=GEN_14:18!4|MId=o010140180041|Strong=8004 6 הוֹצִ֖יא יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.brought.out|Ref=GEN_14:18!5|MId=o010140180051|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:010140180012;A0:010140180051;010140180062;|Type=qatal 7 לֶ֣חֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=bread|Ref=GEN_14:18!6|MId=o010140180061|Strong=3899 8-9 וָיָ֑יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_14:18!7|MId=o010140180071|Strong=2050b 9 יָ֑יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=wine|Ref=GEN_14:18!7|MId=o010140180072|Strong=3196 10-11 וְה֥וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_14:18!8|MId=o010140180081|Strong=2050b 11 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_14:18!8|MId=o010140180082|Strong=1931|Type=personal 12 כֹהֵ֖ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=[was].a.priest|Ref=GEN_14:18!9|MId=o010140180091|Strong=3548 13-14 לְאֵ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_14:18!10|MId=o010140180101|Strong=3807a 14 אֵ֥ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nmod _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_14:18!10|MId=o010140180102|Strong=0410 15 עֶלְיֽוֹן עֶלְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 amod _ Gloss=Most.High|Ref=GEN_14:18!11|MId=o010140180111|Strong=5945a|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=GEN_14:18!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הוֹצִיא *he brought out* | qatal · hiphil | הוֹצִיא *he brought out* | | | מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק *Melchizedek* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
