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 — name, I, thy — and what happens in the verse to name, Abraham, thee, father, 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. וְלֹא־יִקָּרֵ֥א ע֛וֹד אֶת־שִׁמְךָ֖ אַבְרָ֑ם וְהָיָ֤ה שִׁמְךָ֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם כִּ֛י אַב־הֲמ֥וֹן גּוֹיִ֖ם נְתַתִּֽיךָ׃ [Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.418/) ## 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:402 # text = וְלֹא־יִקָּרֵ֥א ע֛וֹד אֶת־שִׁמְךָ֖ אַבְרָ֑ם וְהָיָ֤ה שִׁמְךָ֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם כִּ֛י אַב־הֲמ֥וֹן גּוֹיִ֖ם נְתַתִּֽיךָ׃ # verse = GEN.17.5 1-2 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:5!1|MId=o010170050011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_17:5!1|MId=o010170050012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 יִקָּרֵ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.called|Ref=GEN_17:5!2|MId=o010170050021|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:010170050051;|Type=yiqtol 4 ע֛וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=GEN_17:5!3|MId=o010170050031|Strong=5750 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_17:5!4|MId=o010170050041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 שִׁמְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שִׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_17:5!5|MId=o010170050051|Strong=8034 7 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_17:5!5|MId=o010170050052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 אַבְרָ֑ם אַבְרָם PROPN _ _ 3 obj _ Gloss=Abram|Ref=GEN_17:5!6|MId=o010170050061|Strong=0087 9-10 וְהָיָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_17:5!7|MId=o010170050071|Strong=2050b 10 הָיָ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=GEN_17:5!7|MId=o010170050072|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010170050081;|Type=weqatal 11-12 שִׁמְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 שִׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_17:5!8|MId=o010170050081|Strong=8034 12 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_17:5!8|MId=o010170050082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13 אַבְרָהָ֔ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_17:5!9|MId=o010170050091|Strong=0085 14 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_17:5!10|MId=o010170050101|Strong=3588 15 אַב־ אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 xcomp _ Gloss=a.father|Ref=GEN_17:5!11|MId=o010170050111|Strong=0001|SpaceAfter=No 16 הֲמ֥וֹן הָמוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.multitude|Ref=GEN_17:5!12|MId=o010170050121|Strong=1995 17 גּוֹיִ֖ם גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.nations|Ref=GEN_17:5!13|MId=o010170050131|Strong=1471 18-19 נְתַתִּֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 נְתַתִּֽי נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_17:5!14|MId=o010170050141|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010170030071;A1:010170050142;|Type=qatal 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=have.made.you|Ref=GEN_17:5!14|MId=o010170050142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=GEN_17:5!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יִקָּרֵא *it will be called* | yiqtol · niphal | | שִׁמ *name* | | | | הָיָה *it will be* | weqatal · qal | שִׁמ *name* | | | | | נְתַתִּֽי *I* | qatal · qal | | ךָ *have made you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
