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, LORD — and what happens in the verse to head, myself, LORD, me, right way, daughter, 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. וָאֶקֹּ֥ד וָֽאֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה לַיהוָ֑ה וָאֲבָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת־יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵי֙ אֲדֹנִ֣י אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִנְחַ֙נִי֙ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אֱמֶ֔ת לָקַ֛חַת אֶת־בַּת־אֲחִ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י לִבְנֽוֹ׃ [And I bowed my head, and prostrated myself before the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.673/) ## 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:639 # text = וָאֶקֹּ֥ד וָֽאֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה לַיהוָ֑ה וָאֲבָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת־יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵי֙ אֲדֹנִ֣י אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִנְחַ֙נִי֙ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אֱמֶ֔ת לָקַ֛חַת אֶת־בַּת־אֲחִ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י לִבְנֽוֹ׃ # verse = GEN.24.48 1-2 וָאֶקֹּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:48!1|MId=o010240480011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶקֹּ֥ד קָדַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.bowed.low|Ref=GEN_24:48!1|MId=o010240480012|Strong=6915|Frame=A0:010240320022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וָֽאֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וָֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:48!2|MId=o010240480021|Strong=2050b 4 אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה חוה VERB _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.bowed.down|Ref=GEN_24:48!2|MId=o010240480022|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:010240320022;|Type=wayyiqtol 5-6 לַיהוָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:48!3|MId=o010240480031|Strong=3807a 6 יהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_24:48!3|MId=o010240480032|Strong=3068 7-8 וָאֲבָרֵ֗ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:48!4|MId=o010240480041|Strong=2050b 8 אֲבָרֵ֗ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.blessed|Ref=GEN_24:48!4|MId=o010240480042|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:010240320022;A1:010240480061;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_24:48!5|MId=o010240480051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_24:48!6|MId=o010240480061|Strong=3068 11 אֱלֹהֵי֙ אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=GEN_24:48!7|MId=o010240480071|Strong=0430 12-13 אֲדֹנִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.master|Ref=GEN_24:48!8|MId=o010240480081|Strong=0113 13 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_24:48!8|MId=o010240480082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 אַבְרָהָ֔ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 12 appos _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_24:48!9|MId=o010240480091|Strong=0085 15 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=GEN_24:48!10|MId=o010240480101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16-17 הִנְחַ֙נִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הִנְח נָחָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_24:48!11|MId=o010240480111|Strong=5148|Frame=AA:010240480061;A0:010240480112;|Type=qatal 17 ַ֙נִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=had.led.me|Ref=GEN_24:48!11|MId=o010240480112|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=GEN_24:48!12|MId=o010240480121|Strong=0871a 19 דֶ֣רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=way|Ref=GEN_24:48!12|MId=o010240480122|Strong=1870 20 אֱמֶ֔ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.truth|Ref=GEN_24:48!13|MId=o010240480131|Strong=0571 21-22 לָקַ֛חַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:48!14|MId=o010240480141|Strong=3807a 22 קַ֛חַת לָקַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 advcl _ Gloss=take|Ref=GEN_24:48!14|MId=o010240480142|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010240320022;A1:010240480161;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_24:48!15|MId=o010240480151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 24 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=GEN_24:48!16|MId=o010240480161|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 25 אֲחִ֥י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.brother|Ref=GEN_24:48!17|MId=o010240480171|Strong=0251 26-27 אֲדֹנִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.master|Ref=GEN_24:48!18|MId=o010240480181|Strong=0113 27 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_24:48!18|MId=o010240480182|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 28-30 לִבְנֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_24:48!19|MId=o010240480191|Strong=3807a 29 בְנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_24:48!19|MId=o010240480192|Strong=1121 30 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_24:48!19|MId=o010240480193|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:48!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
