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, LORD — and what happens in the verse to age, Abraham, things, 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. וְאַבְרָהָ֣ם זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים וַֽיהוָ֛ה בֵּרַ֥ךְ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם בַּכֹּֽל׃ [And Abraham was old, well stricken in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.621/) ## 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:592 # text = וְאַבְרָהָ֣ם זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים וַֽיהוָ֛ה בֵּרַ֥ךְ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֖ם בַּכֹּֽל׃ # verse = GEN.24.1 1-2 וְאַבְרָהָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:1!1|MId=o010240010011|Strong=2050b 2 אַבְרָהָ֣ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_24:1!1|MId=o010240010012|Strong=0085 3 זָקֵ֔ן זָקֵן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was.old|Ref=GEN_24:1!2|MId=o010240010021|Strong=2204|Frame=A0:010240010012;|Type=qatal 4 בָּ֖א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.had.come|Ref=GEN_24:1!3|MId=o010240010031|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010240010012;|Type=qatal 5-7 בַּיָּמִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_24:1!4|MId=o010240010041|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_24:1!4|MId=o010240010041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 יָּמִ֑ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=GEN_24:1!4|MId=o010240010042|Strong=3117 8-9 וַֽיהוָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:1!5|MId=o010240010051|Strong=2050b 9 יהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_24:1!5|MId=o010240010052|Strong=3068 10 בֵּרַ֥ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.had.blessed|Ref=GEN_24:1!6|MId=o010240010061|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:010240010052;A1:010240010081;|Type=qatal 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_24:1!7|MId=o010240010071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12 אַבְרָהָ֖ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 10 obj _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_24:1!8|MId=o010240010081|Strong=0085 13-15 בַּכֹּֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_24:1!9|MId=o010240010091|Strong=0871a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_24:1!9|MId=o010240010091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 כֹּֽל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=everything|Ref=GEN_24:1!9|MId=o010240010092|Strong=3605 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:1!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | זָקֵן *he was old* | qatal · qal | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | | | בָּא *he had come* | qatal · qal | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | | | בֵּרַךְ *he had blessed* | qatal · piel | יהוָה *Yahweh* | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
