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 — servant, woman, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to me, son, land, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ הָעֶ֔בֶד אוּלַי֙ לֹא־תֹאבֶ֣ה הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה לָלֶ֥כֶת אַחֲרַ֖י אֶל־הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֑את הֶֽהָשֵׁ֤ב אָשִׁיב֙ אֶת־בִּנְךָ֔ אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יָצָ֥אתָ מִשָּֽׁם׃ [And the servant said unto him: 'Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; must I needs bring thy son back unto the land from whence thou camest?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.625/) ## 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:596 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ הָעֶ֔בֶד אוּלַי֙ לֹא־תֹאבֶ֣ה הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה לָלֶ֥כֶת אַחֲרַ֖י אֶל־הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֑את הֶֽהָשֵׁ֤ב אָשִׁיב֙ אֶת־בִּנְךָ֔ אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יָצָ֥אתָ מִשָּֽׁם׃ # verse = GEN.24.5 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_24:5!1|MId=o010240050011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_24:5!1|MId=o010240050012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010240050032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:5!2|MId=o010240050021|Strong=0413 4 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_24:5!2|MId=o010240050022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-6 הָעֶ֔בֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_24:5!3|MId=o010240050031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 עֶ֔בֶד עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=servant|Ref=GEN_24:5!3|MId=o010240050032|Strong=5650 7 אוּלַי֙ אוּלַי ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=perhaps|Ref=GEN_24:5!4|MId=o010240050041|Strong=0194 8 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_24:5!5|MId=o010240050051|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9 תֹאבֶ֣ה אָבָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 23 parataxis _ Gloss=she.will.be.willing|Ref=GEN_24:5!6|MId=o010240050061|Strong=0014|Frame=A0:010240050072;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_24:5!7|MId=o010240050071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=GEN_24:5!7|MId=o010240050072|Strong=0802 12-13 לָלֶ֥כֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:5!8|MId=o010240050081|Strong=3807a 13 לֶ֥כֶת הלך VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 xcomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=GEN_24:5!8|MId=o010240050082|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010240050072;|Type=infinitive_construct 14-15 אַחֲרַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אַחֲר אַחַר ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_24:5!9|MId=o010240050091|Strong=0310 15 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_24:5!9|MId=o010240050092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:5!10|MId=o010240050101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הָאָ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_24:5!11|MId=o010240050111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אָ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=GEN_24:5!11|MId=o010240050112|Strong=0776 19-20 הַזֹּ֑את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_24:5!12|MId=o010240050121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 זֹּ֑את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 18 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_24:5!12|MId=o010240050122|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 21-22 הֶֽהָשֵׁ֤ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הֶֽ הֲ PART _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=really|Ref=GEN_24:5!13|MId=o010240050131|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 22 הָשֵׁ֤ב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 23 obl:npmod _ Gloss=(take.back)?|Ref=GEN_24:5!13|MId=o010240050132|Strong=7725|Type=infinitive_absolute 23 אָשִׁיב֙ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=will.I.take.back|Ref=GEN_24:5!14|MId=o010240050141|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:010240050032;A0:010240050161;|Type=yiqtol 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_24:5!15|MId=o010240050151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 בִּנְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בִּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_24:5!16|MId=o010240050161|Strong=1121 26 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_24:5!16|MId=o010240050162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_24:5!17|MId=o010240050171|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_24:5!18|MId=o010240050181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=GEN_24:5!18|MId=o010240050182|Strong=0776 30 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=GEN_24:5!19|MId=o010240050191|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 31 יָצָ֥אתָ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 29 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.came.out|Ref=GEN_24:5!20|MId=o010240050201|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:010240020021;|Type=qatal 32-33 מִשָּֽׁם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_24:5!21|MId=o010240050211|Strong=4480 33 שָּֽׁם שָׁם ADV _ _ 31 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_24:5!21|MId=o010240050212|Strong=8033 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=GEN_24:5!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
