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, God, both — and what happens in the verse to lamb, Abraham, 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. וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֱלֹהִ֞ים יִרְאֶה־לּ֥וֹ הַשֶּׂ֛ה לְעֹלָ֖ה בְּנִ֑י וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו׃ [And Abraham said: 'God will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:555 # text = וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֱלֹהִ֞ים יִרְאֶה־לּ֥וֹ הַשֶּׂ֛ה לְעֹלָ֖ה בְּנִ֑י וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו׃ # verse = GEN.22.8 1-2 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:8!1|MId=o010220080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_22:8!1|MId=o010220080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010220080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַבְרָהָ֔ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_22:8!2|MId=o010220080021|Strong=0085 4 אֱלֹהִ֞ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_22:8!3|MId=o010220080031|Strong=0430 5 יִרְאֶה־ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.will.see|Ref=GEN_22:8!4|MId=o010220080041|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010220080031;A1:010220080062;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 לּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_22:8!5|MId=o010220080051|Strong=3807a 7 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=himself|Ref=GEN_22:8!5|MId=o010220080052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 הַשֶּׂ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_22:8!6|MId=o010220080061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 שֶּׂ֛ה שֶׂה NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=GEN_22:8!6|MId=o010220080062|Strong=7716 10-11 לְעֹלָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_22:8!7|MId=o010220080071|Strong=3807a 11 עֹלָ֖ה עֹלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=a.burnt.offering|Ref=GEN_22:8!7|MId=o010220080072|Strong=5930 12-13 בְּנִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=my.son|Ref=GEN_22:8!8|MId=o010220080081|Strong=1121 13 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_22:8!8|MId=o010220080082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_22:8!9|MId=o010220080091|Strong=2050b 15 יֵּלְכ֥וּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=GEN_22:8!9|MId=o010220080092|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010220080102;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 שְׁנֵי שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 17 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=GEN_22:8!10|MId=o010220080101|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 17 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=GEN_22:8!10|MId=o010220080102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 יַחְדָּֽו יָחְדָּו ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=together|Ref=GEN_22:8!11|MId=o010220080111|Strong=3162a|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=GEN_22:8!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | | | יִרְאֶה־ *he will see* | yiqtol · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | שֶּׂה *sheep* | | | | יֵּלְכוּ *they went* | wayyiqtol · qal | הֶם *of them* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
