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 — first born, same, born — and what happens in the verse to son, name, 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. וַתֵּ֤לֶד הַבְּכִירָה֙ בֵּ֔ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ מוֹאָ֑ב ה֥וּא אֲבִֽי־מוֹאָ֖ב עַד־הַיּֽוֹם׃ [And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab — the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.519/) ## 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:494 # text = וַתֵּ֤לֶד הַבְּכִירָה֙ בֵּ֔ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ מוֹאָ֑ב ה֥וּא אֲבִֽי־מוֹאָ֖ב עַד־הַיּֽוֹם׃ # verse = GEN.19.37 1-2 וַתֵּ֤לֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_19:37!1|MId=o010190370011|Strong=2050b 2 תֵּ֤לֶד יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.bore|Ref=GEN_19:37!1|MId=o010190370012|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:010190370022;A1:010190370031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַבְּכִירָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_19:37!2|MId=o010190370021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 בְּכִירָה֙ בְּכִירָה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=GEN_19:37!2|MId=o010190370022|Strong=1067 5 בֵּ֔ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=GEN_19:37!3|MId=o010190370031|Strong=1121 6-7 וַתִּקְרָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_19:37!4|MId=o010190370041|Strong=2050b 7 תִּקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.called|Ref=GEN_19:37!4|MId=o010190370042|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:010190370022;A1:010190370051;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 שְׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_19:37!5|MId=o010190370051|Strong=8034 9 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_19:37!5|MId=o010190370052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 מוֹאָ֑ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 7 xcomp _ Gloss=Moab|Ref=GEN_19:37!6|MId=o010190370061|Strong=4124 11 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_19:37!7|MId=o010190370071|Strong=1931|Type=personal 12 אֲבִֽי־ אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].the.ancestor|Ref=GEN_19:37!8|MId=o010190370081|Strong=0001|SpaceAfter=No 13 מוֹאָ֖ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=GEN_19:37!9|MId=o010190370091|Strong=4124 14 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=GEN_19:37!10|MId=o010190370101|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 הַיּֽוֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_19:37!11|MId=o010190370111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 יּֽוֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=GEN_19:37!11|MId=o010190370112|Strong=3117 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=GEN_19:37!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵּלֶד *she bore* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּכִירָה *firstborn* | בֵּן *a son* | | | | תִּקְרָא *she called* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּכִירָה *firstborn* | שְׁמ *name* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
