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 — we, cry, LORD, men — and what happens in the verse to place, us, 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. כִּֽי־מַשְׁחִתִ֣ים אֲנַ֔חְנוּ אֶת־הַמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּֽי־גָֽדְלָ֤ה צַעֲקָתָם֙ אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַיְשַׁלְּחֵ֥נוּ יְהוָ֖ה לְשַׁחֲתָֽהּ׃ [for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.491/) ## 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:470 # text = כִּֽי־מַשְׁחִתִ֣ים אֲנַ֔חְנוּ אֶת־הַמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּֽי־גָֽדְלָ֤ה צַעֲקָתָם֙ אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וַיְשַׁלְּחֵ֥נוּ יְהוָ֖ה לְשַׁחֲתָֽהּ׃ # verse = GEN.19.13 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_19:13!1|MId=o010190130011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 מַשְׁחִתִ֣ים שָׁחַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].about.to.destroy|Ref=GEN_19:13!2|MId=o010190130021|Strong=7843|Frame=AA:010190130031;A0:010190130052;|Type=participle_active 3 אֲנַ֔חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=GEN_19:13!3|MId=o010190130031|Strong=0587|Type=personal 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_19:13!4|MId=o010190130041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_19:13!5|MId=o010190130051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=place|Ref=GEN_19:13!5|MId=o010190130052|Strong=4725 7-8 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_19:13!6|MId=o010190130061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_19:13!6|MId=o010190130062|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 9 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_19:13!7|MId=o010190130071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 10 גָֽדְלָ֤ה גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=it.is.great|Ref=GEN_19:13!8|MId=o010190130081|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:010190130091;|Type=qatal 11-12 צַעֲקָתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 צַעֲקָת צְעָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=outcry|Ref=GEN_19:13!9|MId=o010190130091|Strong=6818 12 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_19:13!9|MId=o010190130092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_19:13!10|MId=o010190130101|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 14 פְּנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=the.presence|Ref=GEN_19:13!11|MId=o010190130111|Strong=6440 15 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=GEN_19:13!12|MId=o010190130121|Strong=3068 16-18 וַיְשַׁלְּחֵ֥נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_19:13!13|MId=o010190130131|Strong=2050b 17 יְשַׁלְּח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_19:13!13|MId=o010190130132|Strong=7971|Frame=A1:010190130133;A0:010190130141;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 ֵ֥נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=has.sent.us|Ref=GEN_19:13!13|MId=o010190130133|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_19:13!14|MId=o010190130141|Strong=3068 20-22 לְשַׁחֲתָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_19:13!15|MId=o010190130151|Strong=3807a 21 שַׁחֲת שָׁחַת VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 17 advcl _ Gloss=destroy|Ref=GEN_19:13!15|MId=o010190130152|Strong=7843|Frame=A0:010190120022;A1:010190130153;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_19:13!15|MId=o010190130153|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_19:13!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מַשְׁחִתִים *\[are\] about to destroy* | participle active · hiphil | מָּקוֹם *place* | | | אֲנַחְנוּ *we* | | גָֽדְלָה *it is great* | qatal · qal | צַעֲקָת *outcry* | | | | | יְשַׁלְּח *he* | wayyiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ֵנוּ *has sent us* | | | | שַׁחֲת *destroy* | infinitive construct · piel | | ָֽהּ *it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
