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 — peoples, nations, you, sons, one — and what happens in the verse to thee, lord, brethren, one, 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. יַֽעַבְד֣וּךָ עַמִּ֗ים וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֤וּלְךָ֙ לְאֻמִּ֔ים הֱוֵ֤ה גְבִיר֙ לְאַחֶ֔יךָ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּלְךָ֖ בְּנֵ֣י אִמֶּ֑ךָ אֹרְרֶ֣יךָ אָר֔וּר וּֽמְבָרֲכֶ֖יךָ בָּרֽוּךְ׃ [Let peoples serve thee, and nations bow down to thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.804/) [Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.805/) [Cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be every one that blesseth thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.806/) ## 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:756 # text = יַֽעַבְד֣וּךָ עַמִּ֗ים וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֤וּלְךָ֙ לְאֻמִּ֔ים הֱוֵ֤ה גְבִיר֙ לְאַחֶ֔יךָ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּלְךָ֖ בְּנֵ֣י אִמֶּ֑ךָ אֹרְרֶ֣יךָ אָר֔וּר וּֽמְבָרֲכֶ֖יךָ בָּרֽוּךְ׃ # verse = GEN.27.29 1-2 יַֽעַבְד֣וּךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 יַֽעַבְד֣וּ עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=may|Ref=GEN_27:29!1|MId=o010270290011|Strong=5647|Frame=A1:010270290012;A0:010270290021;|Type=jussive 2 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 obj _ Gloss=they.serve.you|Ref=GEN_27:29!1|MId=o010270290012|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 3 עַמִּ֗ים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 nsubj _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=GEN_27:29!2|MId=o010270290021|Strong=5971 4-7 וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֤וּלְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:29!4|MId=o010270290041|Strong=2050b 5 יִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֤וּ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=may.they.bow.down|Ref=GEN_27:29!4|MId=o010270290042|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:010270290061;|Type=jussive 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:29!5|MId=o010270290051|Strong=3807a 7 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_27:29!5|MId=o010270290052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 לְאֻמִּ֔ים לְאֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=GEN_27:29!6|MId=o010270290061|Strong=3816 9 הֱוֵ֤ה הָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=become|Ref=GEN_27:29!7|MId=o010270290071|Strong=1933a|Frame=A0:010270270121;|Type=imperative 10 גְבִיר֙ גְּבִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=lord|Ref=GEN_27:29!8|MId=o010270290081|Strong=1376 11-13 לְאַחֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:29!9|MId=o010270290091|Strong=3807a 12 אַחֶ֔י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_27:29!9|MId=o010270290092|Strong=0251 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_27:29!9|MId=o010270290093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14-17 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּלְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:29!10|MId=o010270290101|Strong=2050b 15 יִשְׁתַּחֲוּ֥וּ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=may.they.bow.down|Ref=GEN_27:29!10|MId=o010270290102|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:010270290121;|Type=jussive 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:29!11|MId=o010270290111|Strong=3807a 17 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_27:29!11|MId=o010270290112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=GEN_27:29!12|MId=o010270290121|Strong=1121 19-20 אִמֶּ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.mother|Ref=GEN_27:29!13|MId=o010270290131|Strong=0517 20 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_27:29!13|MId=o010270290132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21-22 אֹרְרֶ֣יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֹרְרֶ֣י אָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 23 nsubj _ Gloss=[those|Ref=GEN_27:29!14|MId=o010270290141|Strong=0779|Frame=A1:010270290142;|Type=participle_active 22 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].curse.you|Ref=GEN_27:29!14|MId=o010270290142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23 אָר֔וּר אָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=[be].cursed|Ref=GEN_27:29!15|MId=o010270290151|Strong=0779|Frame=A1:010270290141;|Type=participle_passive 24-26 וּֽמְבָרֲכֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:29!16|MId=o010270290161|Strong=2050b 25 מְבָרֲכֶ֖י בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 27 nsubj _ Gloss=[those|Ref=GEN_27:29!16|MId=o010270290162|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:010270290163;|Type=participle_active 26 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].bless.you|Ref=GEN_27:29!16|MId=o010270290163|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 בָּרֽוּךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=[be].blessed|Ref=GEN_27:29!17|MId=o010270290171|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:010270290162;|Type=participle_passive|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_27:29!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
