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 — Isaac, fat places — and what happens in the verse to dwelling, 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. וַיַּ֛עַן יִצְחָ֥ק אָבִ֖יו וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֑יו הִנֵּ֞ה מִשְׁמַנֵּ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה מֽוֹשָׁבֶ֔ךָ וּמִטַּ֥ל הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם מֵעָֽל׃ [And Isaac his father answered and said unto him: Behold, of the fat places of the earth shall be thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.816/) ## 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:766 # text = וַיַּ֛עַן יִצְחָ֥ק אָבִ֖יו וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֑יו הִנֵּ֞ה מִשְׁמַנֵּ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה מֽוֹשָׁבֶ֔ךָ וּמִטַּ֥ל הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם מֵעָֽל׃ # verse = GEN.27.39 1-2 וַיַּ֛עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:39!1|MId=o010270390011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֛עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=GEN_27:39!1|MId=o010270390012|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:010270390021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִצְחָ֥ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=GEN_27:39!2|MId=o010270390021|Strong=3327 4-5 אָבִ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אָבִ֖י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_27:39!3|MId=o010270390031|Strong=0001 5 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_27:39!3|MId=o010270390032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-7 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:39!4|MId=o010270390041|Strong=2050b 7 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_27:39!4|MId=o010270390042|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270390021;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 אֵלָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֵלָ֑י אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:39!5|MId=o010270390051|Strong=0413 9 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_27:39!5|MId=o010270390052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 הִנֵּ֞ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 12 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_27:39!6|MId=o010270390061|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 11-12 מִשְׁמַנֵּ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=away|Ref=GEN_27:39!7|MId=o010270390071|Strong=4480 12 שְׁמַנֵּ֤י שָׁמָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 ccomp _ Gloss=from.the.fatness(es)|Ref=GEN_27:39!7|MId=o010270390072|Strong=4924b 13-14 הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_27:39!8|MId=o010270390081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=GEN_27:39!8|MId=o010270390082|Strong=0776 15 יִהְיֶ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=GEN_27:39!9|MId=o010270390091|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010270390101;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 מֽוֹשָׁבֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מֽוֹשָׁב מוֹשָׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=dwelling|Ref=GEN_27:39!10|MId=o010270390101|Strong=4186 17 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_27:39!10|MId=o010270390102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-20 וּמִטַּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:39!11|MId=o010270390111|Strong=2050b 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=away|Ref=GEN_27:39!11|MId=o010270390112|Strong=4480 20 טַּ֥ל טַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=from.the.dew|Ref=GEN_27:39!11|MId=o010270390113|Strong=2919 21-22 הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_27:39!12|MId=o010270390121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 שָּׁמַ֖יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=GEN_27:39!12|MId=o010270390122|Strong=8064 23-24 מֵעָֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(from)|Ref=GEN_27:39!13|MId=o010270390131|Strong=4480 24 עָֽל עַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nmod _ Gloss=above|Ref=GEN_27:39!13|MId=o010270390132|Strong=5920 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_27:39!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִצְחָק *Isaac* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִצְחָק *Isaac* | | | | | יִהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | מֽוֹשָׁב *dwelling* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
