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 — thou — and what happens in the verse to nations, seed, 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. וְהִתְבָּרֲכ֣וּ בְזַרְעֲךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ עֵ֕קֶב אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ בְּקֹלִֽי׃ [and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast hearkened to My voice.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.594/) ## 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:565 # text = וְהִתְבָּרֲכ֣וּ בְזַרְעֲךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ עֵ֕קֶב אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ בְּקֹלִֽי׃ # verse = GEN.22.18 1-2 וְהִתְבָּרֲכ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:18!1|MId=o010220180011|Strong=2050b 2 הִתְבָּרֲכ֣וּ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.bless.themselves|Ref=GEN_22:18!1|MId=o010220180012|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:010220180041;|Type=weqatal 3-5 בְזַרְעֲךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=GEN_22:18!2|MId=o010220180021|Strong=0871a 4 זַרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=offspring|Ref=GEN_22:18!2|MId=o010220180022|Strong=2233 5 ֲךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_22:18!2|MId=o010220180023|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_22:18!3|MId=o010220180031|Strong=3605 7 גּוֹיֵ֣י גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.nations|Ref=GEN_22:18!4|MId=o010220180041|Strong=1471 8-9 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_22:18!5|MId=o010220180051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=GEN_22:18!5|MId=o010220180052|Strong=0776 10 עֵ֕קֶב עֵקֶב SCONJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 mark _ Gloss=consequence|Ref=GEN_22:18!6|MId=o010220180061|Strong=6118 11 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=GEN_22:18!7|MId=o010220180071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12 שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.have.listened|Ref=GEN_22:18!8|MId=o010220180081|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010220150051;|Type=qatal 13-15 בְּקֹלִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_22:18!9|MId=o010220180091|Strong=0871a 14 קֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=voice|Ref=GEN_22:18!9|MId=o010220180092|Strong=6963 15 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_22:18!9|MId=o010220180093|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=GEN_22:18!9 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִתְבָּרֲכוּ *they will bless themselves* | weqatal · hithpael | גּוֹיֵי *the nations* | | | | | שָׁמַעְתָּ *you have listened* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
