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 — Abraham — and what happens in the verse to old man, 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. וַיִּגְוַ֨ע וַיָּ֧מָת אַבְרָהָ֛ם בְּשֵׂיבָ֥ה טוֹבָ֖ה זָקֵ֣ן וְשָׂבֵ֑עַ וַיֵּאָ֖סֶף אֶל־עַמָּֽיו׃ [And Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.704/) ## 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:666 # text = וַיִּגְוַ֨ע וַיָּ֧מָת אַבְרָהָ֛ם בְּשֵׂיבָ֥ה טוֹבָ֖ה זָקֵ֣ן וְשָׂבֵ֑עַ וַיֵּאָ֖סֶף אֶל־עַמָּֽיו׃ # verse = GEN.25.8 1-2 וַיִּגְוַ֨ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:8!1|MId=o010250080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּגְוַ֨ע גָּוַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.expired|Ref=GEN_25:8!1|MId=o010250080012|Strong=1478|Frame=A0:010250080031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וַיָּ֧מָת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:8!2|MId=o010250080021|Strong=2050b 4 יָּ֧מָת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.died|Ref=GEN_25:8!2|MId=o010250080022|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:010250080031;|Type=wayyiqtol 5 אַבְרָהָ֛ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_25:8!3|MId=o010250080031|Strong=0085 6-7 בְּשֵׂיבָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_25:8!4|MId=o010250080041|Strong=0871a 7 שֵׂיבָ֥ה שֵׂיבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=old.age|Ref=GEN_25:8!4|MId=o010250080042|Strong=7872 8 טוֹבָ֖ה טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 amod _ Gloss=good|Ref=GEN_25:8!5|MId=o010250080051|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 9 זָקֵ֣ן זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 advmod _ Gloss=old|Ref=GEN_25:8!6|MId=o010250080061|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 10-11 וְשָׂבֵ֑עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:8!7|MId=o010250080071|Strong=2050b 11 שָׂבֵ֑עַ שָׂבֵעַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 amod _ Gloss=satisfied|Ref=GEN_25:8!7|MId=o010250080072|Strong=7649|Type=adjective 12-13 וַיֵּאָ֖סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_25:8!8|MId=o010250080081|Strong=2050b 13 יֵּאָ֖סֶף אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.was.gathered|Ref=GEN_25:8!8|MId=o010250080082|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:010250080031;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_25:8!9|MId=o010250080091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 עַמָּֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עַמָּֽי עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=kinspeople(s)|Ref=GEN_25:8!10|MId=o010250080101|Strong=5971a 16 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_25:8!10|MId=o010250080102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=GEN_25:8!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּגְוַע *he expired* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | | | יָּמָת *he died* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | | | יֵּאָסֶף *he was gathered* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | אַבְרָהָם *Abraham* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
