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 — master, I, LORD, thou — and what happens in the verse to angel, way, wife, 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. וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֵלָ֑י יְהוָ֞ה אֲשֶׁר־הִתְהַלַּ֣כְתִּי לְפָנָ֗יו יִשְׁלַ֨ח מַלְאָכ֤וֹ אִתָּךְ֙ וְהִצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכֶּ֔ךָ וְלָקַחְתָּ֤ אִשָּׁה֙ לִבְנִ֔י מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתִּ֖י וּמִבֵּ֥ית אָבִֽי׃ [And he said unto me: The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.661/) ## 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:631 # text = וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֵלָ֑י יְהוָ֞ה אֲשֶׁר־הִתְהַלַּ֣כְתִּי לְפָנָ֗יו יִשְׁלַ֨ח מַלְאָכ֤וֹ אִתָּךְ֙ וְהִצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכֶּ֔ךָ וְלָקַחְתָּ֤ אִשָּׁה֙ לִבְנִ֔י מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתִּ֖י וּמִבֵּ֥ית אָבִֽי׃ # verse = GEN.24.40 1-2 וַיֹּ֖אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:40!1|MId=o010240400011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֖אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_24:40!1|MId=o010240400012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010240390031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:40!2|MId=o010240400021|Strong=0413 4 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_24:40!2|MId=o010240400022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 יְהוָ֞ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_24:40!3|MId=o010240400031|Strong=3068 6 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=GEN_24:40!4|MId=o010240400041|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 7 הִתְהַלַּ֣כְתִּי הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.have.walked.about|Ref=GEN_24:40!5|MId=o010240400051|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010240390031;|Type=qatal 8-10 לְפָנָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_24:40!6|MId=o010240400061|Strong=3807a 9 פָנָ֗י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_24:40!6|MId=o010240400062|Strong=6440 10 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_24:40!6|MId=o010240400063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 יִשְׁלַ֨ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.will.send|Ref=GEN_24:40!7|MId=o010240400071|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:010240400031;A1:010240400081;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 מַלְאָכ֤וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מַלְאָכ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=angel|Ref=GEN_24:40!8|MId=o010240400081|Strong=4397 13 ֤וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_24:40!8|MId=o010240400082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 אִתָּךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_24:40!9|MId=o010240400091|Strong=0854 15 ָךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_24:40!9|MId=o010240400092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 וְהִצְלִ֣יחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:40!10|MId=o010240400101|Strong=2050b 17 הִצְלִ֣יחַ צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=he.will.make.successful|Ref=GEN_24:40!10|MId=o010240400102|Strong=6743|Frame=AA:010240400031;A0:010240400111;|Type=qatal 18-19 דַּרְכֶּ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 דַּרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=journey|Ref=GEN_24:40!11|MId=o010240400111|Strong=1870 19 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_24:40!11|MId=o010240400112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְלָקַחְתָּ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:40!12|MId=o010240400121|Strong=2050b 21 לָקַחְתָּ֤ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 11 conj _ Gloss=you.will.take|Ref=GEN_24:40!12|MId=o010240400122|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010240320022;A1:010240400131;|Type=qatal 22 אִשָּׁה֙ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=a.wife|Ref=GEN_24:40!13|MId=o010240400131|Strong=0802 23-25 לִבְנִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_24:40!14|MId=o010240400141|Strong=3807a 24 בְנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_24:40!14|MId=o010240400142|Strong=1121 25 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_24:40!14|MId=o010240400143|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26-28 מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_24:40!15|MId=o010240400151|Strong=4480 27 מִּשְׁפַּחְתּ מִשְׁפַּחַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=family|Ref=GEN_24:40!15|MId=o010240400152|Strong=4940 28 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_24:40!15|MId=o010240400153|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 29-31 וּמִבֵּ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:40!16|MId=o010240400161|Strong=2050b 30 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_24:40!16|MId=o010240400162|Strong=4480 31 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 conj _ Gloss=the.household|Ref=GEN_24:40!16|MId=o010240400163|Strong=1004 32-33 אָבִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 אָב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.father|Ref=GEN_24:40!17|MId=o010240400171|Strong=0001 33 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_24:40!17|MId=o010240400172|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:40!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
