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 — word, I, reward, thy — and what happens in the verse to vision, shield, LORD, 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. אַחַ֣ר ׀ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה הָיָ֤ה דְבַר־יְהוָה֙ אֶל־אַבְרָ֔ם בַּֽמַּחֲזֶ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אַל־תִּירָ֣א אַבְרָ֗ם אָנֹכִי֙ מָגֵ֣ן לָ֔ךְ שְׂכָרְךָ֖ הַרְבֵּ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃ [After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying: 'Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceeding great.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.377/) ## 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:361 # text = אַחַ֣ר ׀ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה הָיָ֤ה דְבַר־יְהוָה֙ אֶל־אַבְרָ֔ם בַּֽמַּחֲזֶ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אַל־תִּירָ֣א אַבְרָ֗ם אָנֹכִי֙ מָגֵ֣ן לָ֔ךְ שְׂכָרְךָ֖ הַרְבֵּ֥ה מְאֹֽד׃ # verse = GEN.15.1 1 אַחַ֣ר אַחַר ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_15:1!1|MId=o010150010011|Strong=0310 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=GEN_15:1!1 3-4 הַדְּבָרִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_15:1!2|MId=o010150010021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 דְּבָרִ֣ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=things|Ref=GEN_15:1!2|MId=o010150010022|Strong=1697 5-6 הָאֵ֗לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_15:1!3|MId=o010150010031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אֵ֗לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 4 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=GEN_15:1!3|MId=o010150010032|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 7 הָיָ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 cop _ Gloss=it.came|Ref=GEN_15:1!4|MId=o010150010041|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010150010051;|Type=qatal 8 דְבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=the.word|Ref=GEN_15:1!5|MId=o010150010051|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 9 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=GEN_15:1!6|MId=o010150010061|Strong=3068 10 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_15:1!7|MId=o010150010071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 11 אַבְרָ֔ם אַבְרָם PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Abram|Ref=GEN_15:1!8|MId=o010150010081|Strong=0087 12-14 בַּֽמַּחֲזֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_15:1!9|MId=o010150010091|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_15:1!9|MId=o010150010091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מַּחֲזֶ֖ה מַחֲזֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=vision|Ref=GEN_15:1!9|MId=o010150010092|Strong=4236 15-16 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לֵ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_15:1!10|MId=o010150010101|Strong=3807a 16 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_15:1!10|MId=o010150010102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010150010051;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=GEN_15:1!11|MId=o010150010111|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 18 תִּירָ֣א יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 16 ccomp _ Gloss=fear|Ref=GEN_15:1!12|MId=o010150010121|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:010150010131;|Type=jussive 19 אַבְרָ֗ם אַבְרָם PROPN _ _ 18 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Abram|Ref=GEN_15:1!13|MId=o010150010131|Strong=0087 20 אָנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_15:1!14|MId=o010150010141|Strong=0595|Type=personal 21 מָגֵ֣ן מָגֵן NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].a.shield|Ref=GEN_15:1!15|MId=o010150010151|Strong=4043 22-23 לָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_15:1!16|MId=o010150010161|Strong=3807a 23 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_15:1!16|MId=o010150010162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-25 שְׂכָרְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 שְׂכָר שָׂכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=reward|Ref=GEN_15:1!17|MId=o010150010171|Strong=7939 25 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_15:1!17|MId=o010150010172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 הַרְבֵּ֥ה רָבָה ADV _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 18 parataxis _ Gloss=[will.be].great|Ref=GEN_15:1!18|MId=o010150010181|Strong=7235b|Type=infinitive_absolute 27 מְאֹֽד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=GEN_15:1!19|MId=o010150010191|Strong=3966|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_15:1!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: a frame; the quote follows - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it came* | qatal · qal | דְבַר־ *the word* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | דְבַר־ *the word* | | | | | **not** תִּירָא *fear* | jussive · qal | אַבְרָם *O Abram* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
