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 — Esau — and what happens in the verse, 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. וַיְהִ֤י עֵשָׂו֙ בֶּן־אַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה וַיִּקַּ֤ח אִשָּׁה֙ אֶת־יְהוּדִ֔ית בַּת־בְּאֵרִ֖י הַֽחִתִּ֑י וְאֶת־בָּ֣שְׂמַ֔ת בַּת־אֵילֹ֖ן הַֽחִתִּֽי׃ [And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.771/) ## 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:726 # text = וַיְהִ֤י עֵשָׂו֙ בֶּן־אַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה וַיִּקַּ֤ח אִשָּׁה֙ אֶת־יְהוּדִ֔ית בַּת־בְּאֵרִ֖י הַֽחִתִּ֑י וְאֶת־בָּ֣שְׂמַ֔ת בַּת־אֵילֹ֖ן הַֽחִתִּֽי׃ # verse = GEN.26.34 1-2 וַיְהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_26:34!1|MId=o010260340011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֤י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=GEN_26:34!1|MId=o010260340012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010260340021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עֵשָׂו֙ עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_26:34!2|MId=o010260340021|Strong=6215 4 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.son|Ref=GEN_26:34!3|MId=o010260340031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 אַרְבָּעִ֣ים אַרְבַּע NUM _ Number=Plur 6 nummod _ Gloss=of.forty|Ref=GEN_26:34!4|MId=o010260340041|Strong=0705|Type=cardinal_number 6 שָׁנָ֔ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=GEN_26:34!5|MId=o010260340051|Strong=8141 7-8 וַיִּקַּ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_26:34!6|MId=o010260340061|Strong=2050b 8 יִּקַּ֤ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=GEN_26:34!6|MId=o010260340062|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010260340021;A1:010260340091;010260340141;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 אִשָּׁה֙ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 xcomp _ Gloss=a.wife|Ref=GEN_26:34!7|MId=o010260340071|Strong=0802 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_26:34!8|MId=o010260340081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11 יְהוּדִ֔ית יְהוּדִית PROPN _ _ 8 obj _ Gloss=Judith|Ref=GEN_26:34!9|MId=o010260340091|Strong=3067 12 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=GEN_26:34!10|MId=o010260340101|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 13 בְּאֵרִ֖י בְּאֵרִי PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Beeri|Ref=GEN_26:34!11|MId=o010260340111|Strong=0882 14-15 הַֽחִתִּ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_26:34!12|MId=o010260340121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 חִתִּ֑י חִתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 appos _ Gloss=Hittite|Ref=GEN_26:34!12|MId=o010260340122|Strong=2850|Type=gentilic 16-17 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_26:34!13|MId=o010260340131|Strong=2050b 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_26:34!13|MId=o010260340132|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 בָּ֣שְׂמַ֔ת בָּשְׂמַת PROPN _ _ 11 conj _ Gloss=Basemath|Ref=GEN_26:34!14|MId=o010260340141|Strong=1315 19 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=GEN_26:34!15|MId=o010260340151|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 20 אֵילֹ֖ן אֵילֹון PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Elon|Ref=GEN_26:34!16|MId=o010260340161|Strong=0356 21-22 הַֽחִתִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_26:34!17|MId=o010260340171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 חִתִּֽי חִתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=Hittite|Ref=GEN_26:34!17|MId=o010260340172|Strong=2850|Type=gentilic 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_26:34!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהִי *he was* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֵשָׂו *Esau* | | | | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֵשָׂו *Esau* | יְהוּדִית *Judith* + בָּשְׂמַת *Basemath* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
