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 — thou, daughter, I, us — and what happens in the verse to daughter, me, thee, 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 בַּת־מִ֣י אַ֔תְּ הַגִּ֥ידִי נָ֖א לִ֑י הֲיֵ֧שׁ בֵּית־אָבִ֛יךְ מָק֥וֹם לָ֖נוּ לָלִֽין׃ [and said: 'Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.643/) [Is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.644/) ## 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:614 # text = וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ בַּת־מִ֣י אַ֔תְּ הַגִּ֥ידִי נָ֖א לִ֑י הֲיֵ֧שׁ בֵּית־אָבִ֛יךְ מָק֥וֹם לָ֖נוּ לָלִֽין׃ # verse = GEN.24.23 1-2 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:23!1|MId=o010240230011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_24:23!1|MId=o010240230012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010240220072;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=daughter|Ref=GEN_24:23!2|MId=o010240230021|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 4 מִ֣י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.whom?|Ref=GEN_24:23!3|MId=o010240230031|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 5 אַ֔תְּ אַתְּ PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=GEN_24:23!4|MId=o010240230041|Strong=0859b|Type=personal 6 הַגִּ֥ידִי נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=tell|Ref=GEN_24:23!5|MId=o010240230051|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:010240160013;|Type=imperative 7 נָ֖א נָא INTJ _ _ 6 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_24:23!6|MId=o010240230061|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 8-9 לִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:23!7|MId=o010240230071|Strong=3807a 9 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_24:23!7|MId=o010240230072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-11 הֲיֵ֧שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=[is]|Ref=GEN_24:23!8|MId=o010240230081|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 11 יֵ֧שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 3 parataxis _ Gloss=there?|Ref=GEN_24:23!8|MId=o010240230082|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 12 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=GEN_24:23!9|MId=o010240230091|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 אָבִ֛יךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אָבִ֛י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.father|Ref=GEN_24:23!10|MId=o010240230101|Strong=0001 14 ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_24:23!10|MId=o010240230102|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 15 מָק֥וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=room|Ref=GEN_24:23!11|MId=o010240230111|Strong=4725 16-17 לָ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_24:23!12|MId=o010240230121|Strong=3807a 17 ָ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_24:23!12|MId=o010240230122|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 18-19 לָלִֽין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:23!13|MId=o010240230131|Strong=3807a 19 לִֽין לין VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=stay.the.night|Ref=GEN_24:23!13|MId=o010240230132|Strong=3885a|Frame=A0:010240220072;010240320142;|Type=infinitive_construct 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:23!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - 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 | | | | | | הַגִּידִי *tell* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | | לִֽין *stay the night* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
