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 — seed, Milcah — and what happens in the verse to seed, Abraham, children, 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. וַיְהִ֗י אַחֲרֵי֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וַיֻּגַּ֥ד לְאַבְרָהָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר הִ֠נֵּה יָלְדָ֨ה מִלְכָּ֥ה גַם־הִ֛וא בָּנִ֖ים לְנָח֥וֹר אָחִֽיךָ׃ [And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying: 'Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto thy brother Nahor:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.596/) ## 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:567 # text = וַיְהִ֗י אַחֲרֵי֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וַיֻּגַּ֥ד לְאַבְרָהָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר הִ֠נֵּה יָלְדָ֨ה מִלְכָּ֥ה גַם־הִ֛וא בָּנִ֖ים לְנָח֥וֹר אָחִֽיךָ׃ # verse = GEN.22.20 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:20!1|MId=o010220200011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_22:20!1|MId=o010220200012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַחֲרֵי֙ אַחַר ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_22:20!2|MId=o010220200021|Strong=0310 4-5 הַדְּבָרִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_22:20!3|MId=o010220200031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 דְּבָרִ֣ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=things|Ref=GEN_22:20!3|MId=o010220200032|Strong=1697 6-7 הָאֵ֔לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_22:20!4|MId=o010220200041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אֵ֔לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 5 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=GEN_22:20!4|MId=o010220200042|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 8-9 וַיֻּגַּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:20!5|MId=o010220200051|Strong=2050b 9 יֻּגַּ֥ד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.told|Ref=GEN_22:20!5|MId=o010220200052|Strong=5046|Frame=A1:010220200091;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 לְאַבְרָהָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_22:20!6|MId=o010220200061|Strong=3807a 11 אַבְרָהָ֖ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_22:20!6|MId=o010220200062|Strong=0085 12-13 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 15 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_22:20!7|MId=o010220200071|Strong=3807a 13 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_22:20!7|MId=o010220200072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 הִ֠נֵּה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 15 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_22:20!8|MId=o010220200081|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 15 יָלְדָ֨ה יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 advcl _ Gloss=she.has.borne|Ref=GEN_22:20!9|MId=o010220200091|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:010220200101;A1:010220200131;|Type=qatal 16 מִלְכָּ֥ה מִלְכָּה PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Milcah|Ref=GEN_22:20!10|MId=o010220200101|Strong=4435 17 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=GEN_22:20!11|MId=o010220200111|Strong=1571|SpaceAfter=No 18 הִ֛וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 appos _ Gloss=she|Ref=GEN_22:20!12|MId=o010220200121|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 19 בָּנִ֖ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=children|Ref=GEN_22:20!13|MId=o010220200131|Strong=1121 20-21 לְנָח֥וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_22:20!14|MId=o010220200141|Strong=3807a 21 נָח֥וֹר נָחוֹר PROPN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=Nahor|Ref=GEN_22:20!14|MId=o010220200142|Strong=5152 22-23 אָחִֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אָחִֽי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_22:20!15|MId=o010220200151|Strong=0251 23 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_22:20!15|MId=o010220200152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=GEN_22:20!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֻּגַּד *it was told* | wayyiqtol · hophal | | יָלְדָה *she has borne* | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | יָלְדָה *she has borne* | qatal · qal | מִלְכָּה *Milcah* | בָּנִים *children* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
