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, cave — and what happens in the verse to cave, me, end, midst, burying place, 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. וְיִתֶּן־לִ֗י אֶת־מְעָרַ֤ת הַמַּכְפֵּלָה֙ אֲשֶׁר־ל֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֖ר בִּקְצֵ֣ה שָׂדֵ֑הוּ בְּכֶ֨סֶף מָלֵ֜א יִתְּנֶ֥נָּה לִ֛י בְּתוֹכְכֶ֖ם לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָֽבֶר׃ [that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a burying-place.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.609/) ## 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:580 # text = וְיִתֶּן־לִ֗י אֶת־מְעָרַ֤ת הַמַּכְפֵּלָה֙ אֲשֶׁר־ל֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֖ר בִּקְצֵ֣ה שָׂדֵ֑הוּ בְּכֶ֨סֶף מָלֵ֜א יִתְּנֶ֥נָּה לִ֛י בְּתוֹכְכֶ֖ם לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָֽבֶר׃ # verse = GEN.23.9 1-2 וְיִתֶּן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=GEN_23:9!1|MId=o010230090011|Strong=2050b 2 יִתֶּן־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=that.he.may.give|Ref=GEN_23:9!1|MId=o010230090012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010230080152;A1:010230090041;|Type=jussive 3-4 לִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_23:9!2|MId=o010230090021|Strong=3807a 4 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_23:9!2|MId=o010230090022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_23:9!3|MId=o010230090031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 מְעָרַ֤ת מְעָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.cave|Ref=GEN_23:9!4|MId=o010230090041|Strong=4631 7-8 הַמַּכְפֵּלָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=GEN_23:9!5|MId=o010230090051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 מַּכְפֵּלָה֙ מַכְפֵּלָה PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Machpelah|Ref=GEN_23:9!5|MId=o010230090052|Strong=4375 9 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_23:9!6|MId=o010230090061|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=GEN_23:9!7|MId=o010230090071|Strong=3807a 11 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_23:9!7|MId=o010230090072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_23:9!8|MId=o010230090081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13-14 בִּקְצֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[is].at|Ref=GEN_23:9!9|MId=o010230090091|Strong=0871a 14 קְצֵ֣ה קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=GEN_23:9!9|MId=o010230090092|Strong=7097 15-16 שָׂדֵ֑הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 שָׂד שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.field|Ref=GEN_23:9!10|MId=o010230090101|Strong=7704 16 ֵ֑הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_23:9!10|MId=o010230090102|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 17-18 בְּכֶ֨סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_23:9!11|MId=o010230090111|Strong=0871a 18 כֶ֨סֶף כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=silver|Ref=GEN_23:9!11|MId=o010230090112|Strong=3701 19 מָלֵ֜א מָלֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 amod _ Gloss=full|Ref=GEN_23:9!12|MId=o010230090121|Strong=4392|Type=adjective 20-21 יִתְּנֶ֥נָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 יִתְּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=let|Ref=GEN_23:9!13|MId=o010230090131|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010230080152;A1:010230090132;|Type=jussive 21 ֶ֥נָּה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=him.give.it|Ref=GEN_23:9!13|MId=o010230090132|Strong=5089a|Type=pronominal 22-23 לִ֛י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_23:9!14|MId=o010230090141|Strong=3807a 23 ִ֛י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_23:9!14|MId=o010230090142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24-26 בְּתוֹכְכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=GEN_23:9!15|MId=o010230090151|Strong=0871a 25 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_23:9!15|MId=o010230090152|Strong=8432 26 ְכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_23:9!15|MId=o010230090153|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 27-28 לַאֲחֻזַּת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_23:9!16|MId=o010230090161|Strong=3807a 28 אֲחֻזַּת־ אֲחֻזָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=a.possession|Ref=GEN_23:9!16|MId=o010230090162|Strong=0272 29 קָֽבֶר קֶבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.burial.site|Ref=GEN_23:9!17|MId=o010230090171|Strong=6913|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_23:9!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִתֶּן־ *that he may give* | jussive · qal | | מְעָרַת *the cave* | | | | יִתְּנ *let* | jussive · qal | | ֶנָּה *him give it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
