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 — Isaac, Esau, Rebekah — and what happens in the verse to Esau, Jacob, 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. וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב יִצְחָ֛ק אֶת־עֵשָׂ֖ו כִּי־צַ֣יִד בְּפִ֑יו וְרִבְקָ֖ה אֹהֶ֥בֶת אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹֽב׃ [Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; and Rebekah loved Jacob.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.725/) ## 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:686 # text = וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב יִצְחָ֛ק אֶת־עֵשָׂ֖ו כִּי־צַ֣יִד בְּפִ֑יו וְרִבְקָ֖ה אֹהֶ֥בֶת אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹֽב׃ # verse = GEN.25.28 1-2 וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:28!1|MId=o010250280011|Strong=2050b 2 יֶּאֱהַ֥ב אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.loved|Ref=GEN_25:28!1|MId=o010250280012|Strong=0157|Frame=A0:010250280021;A1:010250280041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִצְחָ֛ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=GEN_25:28!2|MId=o010250280021|Strong=3327 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_25:28!3|MId=o010250280031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 עֵשָׂ֖ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_25:28!4|MId=o010250280041|Strong=6215 6 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_25:28!5|MId=o010250280051|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 7 צַ֣יִד צַיִד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=hunted.game|Ref=GEN_25:28!6|MId=o010250280061|Strong=6718 8-10 בְּפִ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=GEN_25:28!7|MId=o010250280071|Strong=0871a 9 פִ֑י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=GEN_25:28!7|MId=o010250280072|Strong=6310 10 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_25:28!7|MId=o010250280073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְרִבְקָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:28!8|MId=o010250280081|Strong=2050b 12 רִבְקָ֖ה רִבְקָה PROPN _ _ 13 nsubj _ Gloss=Rebekah|Ref=GEN_25:28!8|MId=o010250280082|Strong=7259 13 אֹהֶ֥בֶת אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[was].loving|Ref=GEN_25:28!9|MId=o010250280091|Strong=0157|Frame=A0:010250280082;A1:010250280111;|Type=participle_active 14 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_25:28!10|MId=o010250280101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 יַעֲקֹֽב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 13 obj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_25:28!11|MId=o010250280111|Strong=3290|SpaceAfter=No 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=GEN_25:28!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֶּאֱהַב *he loved* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִצְחָק *Isaac* | עֵשָׂו *Esau* | | | | אֹהֶבֶת *\[was\] loving* | participle active · qal | רִבְקָה *Rebekah* | יַעֲקֹֽב *Jacob* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
