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, thou, my — and what happens in the verse to Esau, me, birthright, blessing, 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. וַיֹּ֡אמֶר הֲכִי֩ קָרָ֨א שְׁמ֜וֹ יַעֲקֹ֗ב וַֽיַּעְקְבֵ֙נִי֙ זֶ֣ה פַעֲמַ֔יִם אֶת־בְּכֹרָתִ֣י לָקָ֔ח וְהִנֵּ֥ה עַתָּ֖ה לָקַ֣ח בִּרְכָתִ֑י וַיֹּאמַ֕ר הֲלֹא־אָצַ֥לְתָּ לִּ֖י בְּרָכָֽה׃ [And he said: 'Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:763 # text = וַיֹּ֡אמֶר הֲכִי֩ קָרָ֨א שְׁמ֜וֹ יַעֲקֹ֗ב וַֽיַּעְקְבֵ֙נִי֙ זֶ֣ה פַעֲמַ֔יִם אֶת־בְּכֹרָתִ֣י לָקָ֔ח וְהִנֵּ֥ה עַתָּ֖ה לָקַ֣ח בִּרְכָתִ֑י וַיֹּאמַ֕ר הֲלֹא־אָצַ֥לְתָּ לִּ֖י בְּרָכָֽה׃ # verse = GEN.27.36 1-2 וַיֹּ֡אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:36!1|MId=o010270360011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֡אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_27:36!1|MId=o010270360012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270340021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הֲכִי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=GEN_27:36!2|MId=o010270360021|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 4 כִי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_27:36!2|MId=o010270360022|Strong=3588 5 קָרָ֨א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=did.someone.call|Ref=GEN_27:36!3|MId=o010270360031|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:;A1:010270360041;|Type=qatal 6-7 שְׁמ֜וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_27:36!4|MId=o010270360041|Strong=8034 7 ֜וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_27:36!4|MId=o010270360042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 יַעֲקֹ֗ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 5 xcomp _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_27:36!5|MId=o010270360051|Strong=3290 9-11 וַֽיַּעְקְבֵ֙נִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:36!6|MId=o010270360061|Strong=2050b 10 יַּעְקְב עָקַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_27:36!6|MId=o010270360062|Strong=6117|Frame=A0:010270350031;A1:010270360063;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 ֵ֙נִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=has.betrayed.me|Ref=GEN_27:36!6|MId=o010270360063|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 12 זֶ֣ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_27:36!7|MId=o010270360071|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 13 פַעֲמַ֔יִם פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 10 obl _ Gloss=two.times|Ref=GEN_27:36!8|MId=o010270360081|Strong=6471 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_27:36!9|MId=o010270360091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 בְּכֹרָתִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּכֹרָת בְּכֹרָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=birthright|Ref=GEN_27:36!10|MId=o010270360101|Strong=1062 16 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_27:36!10|MId=o010270360102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 לָקָ֔ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=GEN_27:36!11|MId=o010270360111|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010270350031;A1:010270360101;|Type=qatal 18-19 וְהִנֵּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:36!12|MId=o010270360121|Strong=2050b 19 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 21 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=GEN_27:36!12|MId=o010270360122|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 20 עַתָּ֖ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=GEN_27:36!13|MId=o010270360131|Strong=6258 21 לָקַ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.has.taken|Ref=GEN_27:36!14|MId=o010270360141|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010270350031;A1:010270360151;|Type=qatal 22-23 בִּרְכָתִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בִּרְכָת בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=blessing|Ref=GEN_27:36!15|MId=o010270360151|Strong=1293 23 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_27:36!15|MId=o010270360152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24-25 וַיֹּאמַ֕ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:36!16|MId=o010270360161|Strong=2050b 25 יֹּאמַ֕ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_27:36!16|MId=o010270360162|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270340021;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 הֲלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=GEN_27:36!17|MId=o010270360171|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 27 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_27:36!17|MId=o010270360172|Strong=3808|Type=negative 28 אָצַ֥לְתָּ אָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 25 ccomp _ Gloss=have.you.reserved|Ref=GEN_27:36!18|MId=o010270360181|Strong=0680|Frame=A0:010270340132;A1:010270360201;|Type=qatal 29-30 לִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_27:36!19|MId=o010270360191|Strong=3807a 30 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 28 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_27:36!19|MId=o010270360192|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 בְּרָכָֽה בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=a.blessing|Ref=GEN_27:36!20|MId=o010270360201|Strong=1293|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=GEN_27:36!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
