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 — men — and what happens in the verse to men, door, 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. וְֽאֶת־הָאֲנָשִׁ֞ים אֲשֶׁר־פֶּ֣תַח הַבַּ֗יִת הִכּוּ֙ בַּסַּנְוֵרִ֔ים מִקָּטֹ֖ן וְעַד־גָּד֑וֹל וַיִּלְא֖וּ לִמְצֹ֥א הַפָּֽתַח׃ [And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great; so that they wearied themselves to find the door.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.489/) ## 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:468 # text = וְֽאֶת־הָאֲנָשִׁ֞ים אֲשֶׁר־פֶּ֣תַח הַבַּ֗יִת הִכּוּ֙ בַּסַּנְוֵרִ֔ים מִקָּטֹ֖ן וְעַד־גָּד֑וֹל וַיִּלְא֖וּ לִמְצֹ֥א הַפָּֽתַח׃ # verse = GEN.19.11 1-2 וְֽאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_19:11!1|MId=o010190110011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_19:11!1|MId=o010190110012|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 3-4 הָאֲנָשִׁ֞ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_19:11!2|MId=o010190110021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אֲנָשִׁ֞ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=men|Ref=GEN_19:11!2|MId=o010190110022|Strong=0376 5 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=GEN_19:11!3|MId=o010190110031|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 6 פֶּ֣תַח פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[were].the.entrance|Ref=GEN_19:11!4|MId=o010190110041|Strong=6607 7-8 הַבַּ֗יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_19:11!5|MId=o010190110051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 בַּ֗יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=GEN_19:11!5|MId=o010190110052|Strong=1004 9 הִכּוּ֙ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.struck|Ref=GEN_19:11!6|MId=o010190110061|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:010190100022;A0:010190110022;|Type=qatal 10-12 בַּסַּנְוֵרִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=with.(the)|Ref=GEN_19:11!7|MId=o010190110071|Strong=0871a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=sudden|Ref=GEN_19:11!7|MId=o010190110071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 סַּנְוֵרִ֔ים סַנְוֵרִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=blindness(es)|Ref=GEN_19:11!7|MId=o010190110072|Strong=5575 13-14 מִקָּטֹ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_19:11!8|MId=o010190110081|Strong=4480 14 קָּטֹ֖ן קָטֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=small|Ref=GEN_19:11!8|MId=o010190110082|Strong=6996a|Type=adjective 15-16 וְעַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_19:11!9|MId=o010190110091|Strong=2050b 16 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=unto|Ref=GEN_19:11!9|MId=o010190110092|Strong=5704 17 גָּד֑וֹל גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=great|Ref=GEN_19:11!10|MId=o010190110101|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 18-19 וַיִּלְא֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_19:11!11|MId=o010190110111|Strong=2050b 19 יִּלְא֖וּ לָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=they.became.weary|Ref=GEN_19:11!11|MId=o010190110112|Strong=3811|Frame=A0:010190110022;|Type=wayyiqtol 20-21 לִמְצֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_19:11!12|MId=o010190110121|Strong=3807a 21 מְצֹ֥א מָצָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 19 advcl _ Gloss=find|Ref=GEN_19:11!12|MId=o010190110122|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:010190110022;A1:010190110132;|Type=infinitive_construct 22-23 הַפָּֽתַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_19:11!13|MId=o010190110131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 פָּֽתַח פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=entrance|Ref=GEN_19:11!13|MId=o010190110132|Strong=6607 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=GEN_19:11!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִכּוּ *they struck* | qatal · hiphil | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | יִּלְאוּ *they became weary* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | מְצֹא *find* | infinitive construct · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | פָּֽתַח *entrance* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
