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 — I, daughter, Rebekah, Milcah — and what happens in the verse to Rebekah, thou, daughter, ring, 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. וָאֶשְׁאַ֣ל אֹתָ֗הּ וָאֹמַר֮ בַּת־מִ֣י אַתְּ֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר בַּת־בְּתוּאֵל֙ בֶּן־נָח֔וֹר אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָֽלְדָה־לּ֖וֹ מִלְכָּ֑ה וָאָשִׂ֤ם הַנֶּ֙זֶם֙ עַל־אַפָּ֔הּ וְהַצְּמִידִ֖ים עַל־יָדֶֽיהָ׃ [And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.670/) [And she said: The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore unto him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.671/) [And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.672/) ## 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:638 # text = וָאֶשְׁאַ֣ל אֹתָ֗הּ וָאֹמַר֮ בַּת־מִ֣י אַתְּ֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר בַּת־בְּתוּאֵל֙ בֶּן־נָח֔וֹר אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָֽלְדָה־לּ֖וֹ מִלְכָּ֑ה וָאָשִׂ֤ם הַנֶּ֙זֶם֙ עַל־אַפָּ֔הּ וְהַצְּמִידִ֖ים עַל־יָדֶֽיהָ׃ # verse = GEN.24.47 1-2 וָאֶשְׁאַ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:47!1|MId=o010240470011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶשְׁאַ֣ל שָׁאַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.asked|Ref=GEN_24:47!1|MId=o010240470012|Strong=7592|Frame=A0:010240320022;A1:010240470022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֹתָ֗הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_24:47!2|MId=o010240470021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ָ֗הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_24:47!2|MId=o010240470022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5-6 וָאֹמַר֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:47!3|MId=o010240470031|Strong=2050b 6 אֹמַר֮ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=GEN_24:47!3|MId=o010240470032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010240320022;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 ccomp _ Gloss=daughter|Ref=GEN_24:47!4|MId=o010240470041|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 8 מִ֣י מִי PRON _ PronType=Int 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.whom?|Ref=GEN_24:47!5|MId=o010240470051|Strong=4310|Type=interrogative 9 אַתְּ֒ אַתְּ PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=[are].you|Ref=GEN_24:47!6|MId=o010240470061|Strong=0859b|Type=personal 10-11 וַתֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:47!7|MId=o010240470071|Strong=2050b 11 תֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=GEN_24:47!7|MId=o010240470072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010240450081;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 ccomp _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=GEN_24:47!8|MId=o010240470081|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 13 בְּתוּאֵל֙ בְּתוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Bethuel|Ref=GEN_24:47!9|MId=o010240470091|Strong=1328 14 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=GEN_24:47!10|MId=o010240470101|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 15 נָח֔וֹר נָחוֹר PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Nahor|Ref=GEN_24:47!11|MId=o010240470111|Strong=5152 16 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=GEN_24:47!12|MId=o010240470121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 יָֽלְדָה־ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=she.bore|Ref=GEN_24:47!13|MId=o010240470131|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:010240470151;A1:010240470101;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 לּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:47!14|MId=o010240470141|Strong=3807a 19 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_24:47!14|MId=o010240470142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 מִלְכָּ֑ה מִלְכָּה PROPN _ _ 17 nsubj _ Gloss=Milcah|Ref=GEN_24:47!15|MId=o010240470151|Strong=4435 21-22 וָאָשִׂ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:47!16|MId=o010240470161|Strong=2050b 22 אָשִׂ֤ם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.put|Ref=GEN_24:47!16|MId=o010240470162|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:010240320022;A1:010240470172;|Type=wayyiqtol 23-24 הַנֶּ֙זֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_24:47!17|MId=o010240470171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 נֶּ֙זֶם֙ נֶזֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=ring|Ref=GEN_24:47!17|MId=o010240470172|Strong=5141 25 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_24:47!18|MId=o010240470181|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 אַפָּ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אַפּ אַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=nose|Ref=GEN_24:47!19|MId=o010240470191|Strong=0639 27 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_24:47!19|MId=o010240470192|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 28-30 וְהַצְּמִידִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:47!20|MId=o010240470201|Strong=2050b 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_24:47!20|MId=o010240470202|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 צְּמִידִ֖ים צָמִיד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=bracelets|Ref=GEN_24:47!20|MId=o010240470203|Strong=6781 31 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_24:47!21|MId=o010240470211|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 32-33 יָדֶֽיהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 יָדֶֽי יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 30 obl _ Gloss=hands|Ref=GEN_24:47!22|MId=o010240470221|Strong=3027 33 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_24:47!22|MId=o010240470222|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:47!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
