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 — Jacob, I, soul — and what happens in the verse to speed, me, thee, soul, Esau, wine, 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. וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הַגִּ֤שָׁה לִּי֙ וְאֹֽכְלָה֙ מִצֵּ֣יד בְּנִ֔י לְמַ֥עַן תְּבָֽרֶכְךָ֖ נַפְשִׁ֑י וַיַּגֶּשׁ־לוֹ֙ וַיֹּאכַ֔ל וַיָּ֧בֵא ל֦וֹ יַ֖יִן וַיֵּֽשְׁתְּ׃ [And he said: 'Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:752 # text = וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הַגִּ֤שָׁה לִּי֙ וְאֹֽכְלָה֙ מִצֵּ֣יד בְּנִ֔י לְמַ֥עַן תְּבָֽרֶכְךָ֖ נַפְשִׁ֑י וַיַּגֶּשׁ־לוֹ֙ וַיֹּאכַ֔ל וַיָּ֧בֵא ל֦וֹ יַ֖יִן וַיֵּֽשְׁתְּ׃ # verse = GEN.27.25 1-2 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:25!1|MId=o010270250011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_27:25!1|MId=o010270250012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270220041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַגִּ֤שָׁה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַגִּ֤שׁ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=bring.[it]|Ref=GEN_27:25!2|MId=o010270250021|Strong=5066|Frame=AA:010270220021;A0:010270250052;|Type=imperative 4 ָה ה X _ _ 3 nmod _ Gloss=near|Ref=GEN_27:25!2|MId=o010270250022|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 5-6 לִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:25!3|MId=o010270250031|Strong=3807a 6 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_27:25!3|MId=o010270250032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְאֹֽכְלָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=GEN_27:25!4|MId=o010270250041|Strong=2050b 8 אֹֽכְלָה֙ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.eat|Ref=GEN_27:25!4|MId=o010270250042|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:010270220041;|Type=cohortative 9-10 מִצֵּ֣יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=GEN_27:25!5|MId=o010270250051|Strong=4480 10 צֵּ֣יד צַיִד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=of.the.hunted.game|Ref=GEN_27:25!5|MId=o010270250052|Strong=6718 11-12 בְּנִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.son|Ref=GEN_27:25!6|MId=o010270250061|Strong=1121 12 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_27:25!6|MId=o010270250062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13 לְמַ֥עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=GEN_27:25!7|MId=o010270250071|Strong=4616 14-15 תְּבָֽרֶכְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 תְּבָֽרֶכ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_27:25!8|MId=o010270250081|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:010270250082;A0:010270250091;|Type=yiqtol 15 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=may.bless.you|Ref=GEN_27:25!8|MId=o010270250082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 נַפְשִׁ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=self|Ref=GEN_27:25!9|MId=o010270250091|Strong=5315 17 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_27:25!9|MId=o010270250092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18-19 וַיַּגֶּשׁ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:25!10|MId=o010270250101|Strong=2050b 19 יַּגֶּשׁ־ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.brought.[it].near|Ref=GEN_27:25!10|MId=o010270250102|Strong=5066|Frame=AA:010270220021;A0:010270250052;|Type=wayyiqtol 20-21 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:25!11|MId=o010270250111|Strong=3807a 21 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_27:25!11|MId=o010270250112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 וַיֹּאכַ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:25!12|MId=o010270250121|Strong=2050b 23 יֹּאכַ֔ל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.ate|Ref=GEN_27:25!12|MId=o010270250122|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:010270220041;A1:010270250052;|Type=wayyiqtol 24-25 וַיָּ֧בֵא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:25!13|MId=o010270250131|Strong=2050b 25 יָּ֧בֵא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.brought|Ref=GEN_27:25!13|MId=o010270250132|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:010270220021;A0:010270250151;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 ל֦וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:25!14|MId=o010270250141|Strong=3807a 27 ֦וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_27:25!14|MId=o010270250142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 יַ֖יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=wine|Ref=GEN_27:25!15|MId=o010270250151|Strong=3196 29-30 וַיֵּֽשְׁתְּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:25!16|MId=o010270250161|Strong=2050b 30 יֵּֽשְׁתְּ שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.drank|Ref=GEN_27:25!16|MId=o010270250162|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:010270220041;A1:010270250151;|Type=wayyiqtol 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_27:25!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
