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 — God, Sarah, thou, I, My — and what happens in the verse to son, thee, name, covenant, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים אֲבָל֙ שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֗ יֹלֶ֤דֶת לְךָ֙ בֵּ֔ן וְקָרָ֥אתָ אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ יִצְחָ֑ק וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֥י אִתּ֛וֹ לִבְרִ֥ית עוֹלָ֖ם לְזַרְע֥וֹ אַחֲרָֽיו׃ [And God said: 'Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.432/) ## 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:416 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים אֲבָל֙ שָׂרָ֣ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֗ יֹלֶ֤דֶת לְךָ֙ בֵּ֔ן וְקָרָ֥אתָ אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ יִצְחָ֑ק וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֥י אִתּ֛וֹ לִבְרִ֥ית עוֹלָ֖ם לְזַרְע֥וֹ אַחֲרָֽיו׃ # verse = GEN.17.19 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:19!1|MId=o010170190011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_17:19!1|MId=o010170190012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010170190021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֱלֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_17:19!2|MId=o010170190021|Strong=0430 4 אֲבָל֙ אֲבָל ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=but|Ref=GEN_17:19!3|MId=o010170190031|Strong=0061 5 שָׂרָ֣ה שָׂרָה PROPN _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=Sarah|Ref=GEN_17:19!4|MId=o010170190041|Strong=8283 6-7 אִשְׁתְּךָ֗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אִשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=wife|Ref=GEN_17:19!5|MId=o010170190051|Strong=0802 7 ְךָ֗ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_17:19!5|MId=o010170190052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 יֹלֶ֤דֶת יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].about.to.bear|Ref=GEN_17:19!6|MId=o010170190061|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:010170190041;A1:010170190081;|Type=participle_active 9-10 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_17:19!7|MId=o010170190071|Strong=3807a 10 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_17:19!7|MId=o010170190072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 בֵּ֔ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=GEN_17:19!8|MId=o010170190081|Strong=1121 12-13 וְקָרָ֥אתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:19!9|MId=o010170190091|Strong=2050b 13 קָרָ֥אתָ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you.will.call|Ref=GEN_17:19!9|MId=o010170190092|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:010170180021;A1:010170190111;|Type=weqatal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_17:19!10|MId=o010170190101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 שְׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_17:19!11|MId=o010170190111|Strong=8034 16 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_17:19!11|MId=o010170190112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 יִצְחָ֑ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 13 xcomp _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=GEN_17:19!12|MId=o010170190121|Strong=3327 18-19 וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:19!13|MId=o010170190131|Strong=2050b 19 הֲקִמֹתִ֨י קוּם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I.will.establish|Ref=GEN_17:19!13|MId=o010170190132|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:010170190021;A0:010170190151;|Type=weqatal 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_17:19!14|MId=o010170190141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 בְּרִיתִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּרִית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=GEN_17:19!15|MId=o010170190151|Strong=1285 22 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_17:19!15|MId=o010170190152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23-24 אִתּ֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_17:19!16|MId=o010170190161|Strong=0854 24 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_17:19!16|MId=o010170190162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25-26 לִבְרִ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_17:19!17|MId=o010170190171|Strong=3807a 26 בְרִ֥ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=a.covenant|Ref=GEN_17:19!17|MId=o010170190172|Strong=1285 27 עוֹלָ֖ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=GEN_17:19!18|MId=o010170190181|Strong=5769 28-30 לְזַרְע֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_17:19!19|MId=o010170190191|Strong=3807a 29 זַרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=offspring|Ref=GEN_17:19!19|MId=o010170190192|Strong=2233 30 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_17:19!19|MId=o010170190193|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-32 אַחֲרָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 אַחֲרָֽי אַחַר ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_17:19!20|MId=o010170190201|Strong=0310 32 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_17:19!20|MId=o010170190202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=GEN_17:19!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
