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 — foreigner — and what happens in the verse to God, house, 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. וּבֶן־שְׁמֹנַ֣ת יָמִ֗ים יִמּ֥וֹל לָכֶ֛ם כָּל־זָכָ֖ר לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶ֑ם יְלִ֣יד בָּ֔יִת וּמִקְנַת־כֶּ֙סֶף֙ מִכֹּ֣ל בֶּן־נֵכָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹ֥א מִֽזַּרְעֲךָ֖ הֽוּא׃ [And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.425/) ## 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:409 # text = וּבֶן־שְׁמֹנַ֣ת יָמִ֗ים יִמּ֥וֹל לָכֶ֛ם כָּל־זָכָ֖ר לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶ֑ם יְלִ֣יד בָּ֔יִת וּמִקְנַת־כֶּ֙סֶף֙ מִכֹּ֣ל בֶּן־נֵכָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹ֥א מִֽזַּרְעֲךָ֖ הֽוּא׃ # verse = GEN.17.12 1-2 וּבֶן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:12!1|MId=o010170120011|Strong=2050b 2 בֶן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=GEN_17:12!1|MId=o010170120012|Strong=1121 3 שְׁמֹנַ֣ת שְׁמֹנֶה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=of.eight|Ref=GEN_17:12!2|MId=o010170120021|Strong=8083|Type=cardinal_number 4 יָמִ֗ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=days|Ref=GEN_17:12!3|MId=o010170120031|Strong=3117 5 יִמּ֥וֹל מוּל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.be.circumcised|Ref=GEN_17:12!4|MId=o010170120041|Strong=4135|Frame=A1:010170120012;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 לָכֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_17:12!5|MId=o010170120051|Strong=3807a 7 ָכֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_17:12!5|MId=o010170120052|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 8 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_17:12!6|MId=o010170120061|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 9 זָכָ֖ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=male|Ref=GEN_17:12!7|MId=o010170120071|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 10-12 לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_17:12!8|MId=o010170120081|Strong=3807a 11 דֹרֹתֵי דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 nmod _ Gloss=generations|Ref=GEN_17:12!8|MId=o010170120082|Strong=1755 12 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_17:12!8|MId=o010170120083|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13 יְלִ֣יד יָלִיד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 appos _ Gloss=one.born|Ref=GEN_17:12!9|MId=o010170120091|Strong=3211 14 בָּ֔יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].household|Ref=GEN_17:12!10|MId=o010170120101|Strong=1004 15-16 וּמִקְנַת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:12!11|MId=o010170120111|Strong=2050b 16 מִקְנַת־ מִקְנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=a.purchase|Ref=GEN_17:12!11|MId=o010170120112|Strong=4736 17 כֶּ֙סֶף֙ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.silver|Ref=GEN_17:12!12|MId=o010170120121|Strong=3701 18-19 מִכֹּ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_17:12!13|MId=o010170120131|Strong=4480 19 כֹּ֣ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nmod _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_17:12!13|MId=o010170120132|Strong=3605 20 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_17:12!14|MId=o010170120141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 21 נֵכָ֔ר נֵכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.foreignness|Ref=GEN_17:12!15|MId=o010170120151|Strong=5236 22 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=GEN_17:12!16|MId=o010170120161|Strong=0834|Type=relative 23 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_17:12!17|MId=o010170120171|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24-26 מִֽזַּרְעֲךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מִֽ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[is].one|Ref=GEN_17:12!18|MId=o010170120181|Strong=4480 25 זַּרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_17:12!18|MId=o010170120182|Strong=2233 26 ֲךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.offspring|Ref=GEN_17:12!18|MId=o010170120183|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_17:12!19|MId=o010170120191|Strong=1931|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_17:12!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִמּוֹל *he will be circumcised* | yiqtol · niphal | | בֶן־ *a son* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
