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 — ye, you, I — and what happens in the verse to me, right hand, 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. וְ֠עַתָּה אִם־יֶשְׁכֶ֨ם עֹשִׂ֜ים חֶ֧סֶד וֶֽאֱמֶ֛ת אֶת־אֲדֹנִ֖י הַגִּ֣ידוּ לִ֑י וְאִם־לֹ֕א הַגִּ֣ידוּ לִ֔י וְאֶפְנֶ֥ה עַל־יָמִ֖ין א֥וֹ עַל־שְׂמֹֽאל׃ [And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.674/) ## 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:640 # text = וְ֠עַתָּה אִם־יֶשְׁכֶ֨ם עֹשִׂ֜ים חֶ֧סֶד וֶֽאֱמֶ֛ת אֶת־אֲדֹנִ֖י הַגִּ֣ידוּ לִ֑י וְאִם־לֹ֕א הַגִּ֣ידוּ לִ֔י וְאֶפְנֶ֥ה עַל־יָמִ֖ין א֥וֹ עַל־שְׂמֹֽאל׃ # verse = GEN.24.49 1-2 וְ֠עַתָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:49!1|MId=o010240490011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=GEN_24:49!1|MId=o010240490012|Strong=6258 3 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_24:49!2|MId=o010240490021|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 יֶשְׁכֶ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 יֶשׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=(there)|Ref=GEN_24:49!3|MId=o010240490031|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 5 ְכֶ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_24:49!3|MId=o010240490032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6 עֹשִׂ֜ים עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 13 advcl _ Gloss=[are].doing|Ref=GEN_24:49!4|MId=o010240490041|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010240490032;A1:010240490051;010240490062;|Type=participle_active 7 חֶ֧סֶד חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=GEN_24:49!5|MId=o010240490051|Strong=2617 8-9 וֶֽאֱמֶ֛ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וֶֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:49!6|MId=o010240490061|Strong=2050b 9 אֱמֶ֛ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=faithfulness|Ref=GEN_24:49!6|MId=o010240490062|Strong=0571 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_24:49!7|MId=o010240490071|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 אֲדֹנִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=master|Ref=GEN_24:49!8|MId=o010240490081|Strong=0113 12 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_24:49!8|MId=o010240490082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13 הַגִּ֣ידוּ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=tell|Ref=GEN_24:49!9|MId=o010240490091|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:010240150112;010240290061;|Type=imperative 14-15 לִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 ל לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:49!10|MId=o010240490101|Strong=3807a 15 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_24:49!10|MId=o010240490102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16-17 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:49!11|MId=o010240490111|Strong=2050b 17 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_24:49!11|MId=o010240490112|Strong=0518 18 לֹ֕א לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advcl _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_24:49!12|MId=o010240490121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 הַגִּ֣ידוּ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=tell|Ref=GEN_24:49!13|MId=o010240490131|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:010240150112;010240290061;|Type=imperative 20-21 לִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:49!14|MId=o010240490141|Strong=3807a 21 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_24:49!14|MId=o010240490142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְאֶפְנֶ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=GEN_24:49!15|MId=o010240490151|Strong=2050b 23 אֶפְנֶ֥ה פָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.turn|Ref=GEN_24:49!15|MId=o010240490152|Strong=6437|Frame=A0:010240320022;|Type=yiqtol 24 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:49!16|MId=o010240490161|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 25 יָמִ֖ין יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=right|Ref=GEN_24:49!17|MId=o010240490171|Strong=3225 26 א֥וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=GEN_24:49!18|MId=o010240490181|Strong=0176 27 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:49!19|MId=o010240490191|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 28 שְׂמֹֽאל שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 conj _ Gloss=left|Ref=GEN_24:49!20|MId=o010240490201|Strong=8040|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:49!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עֹשִׂים *\[are\] doing* | participle active · qal | ְכֶם *you* | חֶסֶד *loyalty* + אֱמֶת *faithfulness* | | | | הַגִּידוּ *tell* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | | **not** הַגִּידוּ *tell* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | | אֶפְנֶה *that I may turn* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
