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, that, fourth river — and what happens in the verse to Tigris, river, east, third river, Euphrates, 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. וְשֵׁ֨ם הַנָּהָ֤ר הַשְּׁלִישִׁי֙ חִדֶּ֔קֶל ה֥וּא הַֽהֹלֵ֖ךְ קִדְמַ֣ת אַשּׁ֑וּר וְהַנָּהָ֥ר הָֽרְבִיעִ֖י ה֥וּא פְרָֽת׃ [And the name of the third river is Tigris; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.47/) [And the fourth river is the Euphrates.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.48/) ## 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:44 # text = וְשֵׁ֨ם הַנָּהָ֤ר הַשְּׁלִישִׁי֙ חִדֶּ֔קֶל ה֥וּא הַֽהֹלֵ֖ךְ קִדְמַ֣ת אַשּׁ֑וּר וְהַנָּהָ֥ר הָֽרְבִיעִ֖י ה֥וּא פְרָֽת׃ # verse = GEN.2.14 1-2 וְשֵׁ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_2:14!1|MId=o010020140011|Strong=2050b 2 שֵׁ֨ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=GEN_2:14!1|MId=o010020140012|Strong=8034 3-4 הַנָּהָ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_2:14!2|MId=o010020140021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 נָּהָ֤ר נָהָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.river|Ref=GEN_2:14!2|MId=o010020140022|Strong=5104 5-6 הַשְּׁלִישִׁי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_2:14!3|MId=o010020140031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 שְּׁלִישִׁי֙ שְׁלִישִׁי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=third|Ref=GEN_2:14!3|MId=o010020140032|Strong=7992|Type=ordinal_number 7 חִדֶּ֔קֶל חִדֶּקֶל PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=[is].Tigris|Ref=GEN_2:14!4|MId=o010020140041|Strong=2313 8 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_2:14!5|MId=o010020140051|Strong=1931|Type=personal 9-10 הַֽהֹלֵ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=GEN_2:14!6|MId=o010020140061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 הֹלֵ֖ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=[one.which].goes|Ref=GEN_2:14!6|MId=o010020140062|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010020140051;|Type=participle_active 11 קִדְמַ֣ת קִדְמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the.east|Ref=GEN_2:14!7|MId=o010020140071|Strong=6926 12 אַשּׁ֑וּר אַשּׁוּר PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Assyria|Ref=GEN_2:14!8|MId=o010020140081|Strong=0804 13-15 וְהַנָּהָ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_2:14!9|MId=o010020140091|Strong=2050b 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_2:14!9|MId=o010020140092|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 נָּהָ֥ר נָהָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 dislocated _ Gloss=river|Ref=GEN_2:14!9|MId=o010020140093|Strong=5104 16-17 הָֽרְבִיעִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_2:14!10|MId=o010020140101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 רְבִיעִ֖י רְבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nummod _ Gloss=fourth|Ref=GEN_2:14!10|MId=o010020140102|Strong=7243|Type=ordinal_number 18 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_2:14!11|MId=o010020140111|Strong=1931|Type=personal 19 פְרָֽת פְּרָת PROPN _ _ 7 conj _ Gloss=[is.the].Euphrates|Ref=GEN_2:14!12|MId=o010020140121|Strong=6578|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=GEN_2:14!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֹלֵךְ *\[one which\] goes* | participle active · qal | הוּא *it* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
