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 — brother, hand, first, Isaac, name — and what happens in the verse to hold, heel, name, twins, 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. וְאַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֞ן יָצָ֣א אָחִ֗יו וְיָד֤וֹ אֹחֶ֙זֶת֙ בַּעֲקֵ֣ב עֵשָׂ֔ו וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְיִצְחָ֛ק בֶּן־שִׁשִּׁ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה בְּלֶ֥דֶת אֹתָֽם׃ [And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.722/) [And Isaac was threescore years old when she bore them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.723/) ## 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:684 # text = וְאַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֞ן יָצָ֣א אָחִ֗יו וְיָד֤וֹ אֹחֶ֙זֶת֙ בַּעֲקֵ֣ב עֵשָׂ֔ו וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְיִצְחָ֛ק בֶּן־שִׁשִּׁ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה בְּלֶ֥דֶת אֹתָֽם׃ # verse = GEN.25.26 1-2 וְאַֽחֲרֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:26!1|MId=o010250260011|Strong=2050b 2 אַֽחֲרֵי־ אַחַר ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_25:26!1|MId=o010250260012|Strong=0310 3 כֵ֞ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=thus|Ref=GEN_25:26!2|MId=o010250260021|Strong=3651 4 יָצָ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.came.out|Ref=GEN_25:26!3|MId=o010250260031|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:010250260041;|Type=qatal 5-6 אָחִ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אָחִ֗י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_25:26!4|MId=o010250260041|Strong=0251 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_25:26!4|MId=o010250260042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-9 וְיָד֤וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:26!5|MId=o010250260051|Strong=2050b 8 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_25:26!5|MId=o010250260052|Strong=3027 9 ֤וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_25:26!5|MId=o010250260053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 אֹחֶ֙זֶת֙ אָחַז VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[was].holding|Ref=GEN_25:26!6|MId=o010250260061|Strong=0270|Frame=A0:010250260052;|Type=participle_active 11-12 בַּעֲקֵ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_25:26!7|MId=o010250260071|Strong=0871a 12 עֲקֵ֣ב עָקֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the.heel|Ref=GEN_25:26!7|MId=o010250260072|Strong=6119 13 עֵשָׂ֔ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Esau|Ref=GEN_25:26!8|MId=o010250260081|Strong=6215 14-15 וַיִּקְרָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:26!9|MId=o010250260091|Strong=2050b 15 יִּקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.called|Ref=GEN_25:26!9|MId=o010250260092|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:;A1:010250260101;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 שְׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_25:26!10|MId=o010250260101|Strong=8034 17 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_25:26!10|MId=o010250260102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 יַעֲקֹ֑ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 15 xcomp _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_25:26!11|MId=o010250260111|Strong=3290 19-20 וְיִצְחָ֛ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:26!12|MId=o010250260121|Strong=2050b 20 יִצְחָ֛ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 21 nsubj _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=GEN_25:26!12|MId=o010250260122|Strong=3327 21 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[was].a.son|Ref=GEN_25:26!13|MId=o010250260131|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 22 שִׁשִּׁ֥ים שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 23 nummod _ Gloss=of.sixty|Ref=GEN_25:26!14|MId=o010250260141|Strong=8346|Type=cardinal_number 23 שָׁנָ֖ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=GEN_25:26!15|MId=o010250260151|Strong=8141 24-25 בְּלֶ֥דֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=GEN_25:26!16|MId=o010250260161|Strong=0871a 25 לֶ֥דֶת יָלַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 advcl _ Gloss=fathered|Ref=GEN_25:26!16|MId=o010250260162|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:010250210131;A1:010250260172;|Type=infinitive_construct 26-27 אֹתָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_25:26!17|MId=o010250260171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 27 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_25:26!17|MId=o010250260172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_25:26!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָצָא *he came out* | qatal · qal | אָחִי *brother* | | | | | אֹחֶזֶת *\[was\] holding* | participle active · qal | יָד *hand* | | | | | יִּקְרָא *he called* | wayyiqtol · qal | | שְׁמ *name* | | | | לֶדֶת *fathered* | infinitive construct · qal | | ָֽם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
