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 — Abraham, fire — and what happens in the verse to wood, fire, hand, 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. וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶת־עֲצֵ֣י הָעֹלָ֗ה וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ עַל־יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֣ח בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת־הָאֵ֖שׁ וְאֶת־הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו׃ [And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.581/) ## 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:553 # text = וַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶת־עֲצֵ֣י הָעֹלָ֗ה וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ עַל־יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֣ח בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת־הָאֵ֖שׁ וְאֶת־הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו׃ # verse = GEN.22.6 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:6!1|MId=o010220060011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֨ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=GEN_22:6!1|MId=o010220060012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010220060021;A1:010220060041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַבְרָהָ֜ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_22:6!2|MId=o010220060021|Strong=0085 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_22:6!3|MId=o010220060031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 עֲצֵ֣י עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.wood(s)|Ref=GEN_22:6!4|MId=o010220060041|Strong=6086 6-7 הָעֹלָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_22:6!5|MId=o010220060051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עֹלָ֗ה עֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.burnt.offering|Ref=GEN_22:6!5|MId=o010220060052|Strong=5930 8-9 וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:6!6|MId=o010220060061|Strong=2050b 9 יָּ֙שֶׂם֙ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.put.[it]|Ref=GEN_22:6!6|MId=o010220060062|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:010220060021;A1:010220060041;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_22:6!7|MId=o010220060071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 יִצְחָ֣ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=GEN_22:6!8|MId=o010220060081|Strong=3327 12-13 בְּנ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_22:6!9|MId=o010220060091|Strong=1121 13 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_22:6!9|MId=o010220060092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַיִּקַּ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:6!10|MId=o010220060101|Strong=2050b 15 יִּקַּ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=GEN_22:6!10|MId=o010220060102|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010220060021;A1:010220060132;010220060152;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-18 בְּיָד֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_22:6!11|MId=o010220060111|Strong=0871a 17 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_22:6!11|MId=o010220060112|Strong=3027 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_22:6!11|MId=o010220060113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_22:6!12|MId=o010220060121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הָאֵ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_22:6!13|MId=o010220060131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אֵ֖שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=fire|Ref=GEN_22:6!13|MId=o010220060132|Strong=0784 22-23 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:6!14|MId=o010220060141|Strong=2050b 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_22:6!14|MId=o010220060142|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 24-25 הַֽמַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_22:6!15|MId=o010220060151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 מַּאֲכֶ֑לֶת מַאֲכֶלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=knife|Ref=GEN_22:6!15|MId=o010220060152|Strong=3979 26-27 וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:6!16|MId=o010220060161|Strong=2050b 27 יֵּלְכ֥וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=GEN_22:6!16|MId=o010220060162|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010220060172;|Type=wayyiqtol 28-29 שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 שְׁנֵי שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 29 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=GEN_22:6!17|MId=o010220060171|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 29 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=GEN_22:6!17|MId=o010220060172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 30 יַחְדָּֽו יָחְדָּו ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=together|Ref=GEN_22:6!18|MId=o010220060181|Strong=3162a|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_22:6!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
