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, father, I — and what happens in the verse to Jacob, Esau, heart, hand, brother, 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. וַיִּשְׂטֹ֤ם עֵשָׂו֙ אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹ֔ב עַל־הַ֨בְּרָכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בֵּרֲכ֖וֹ אָבִ֑יו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר עֵשָׂ֜ו בְּלִבּ֗וֹ יִקְרְבוּ֙ יְמֵי֙ אֵ֣בֶל אָבִ֔י וְאַֽהַרְגָ֖ה אֶת־יַעֲקֹ֥ב אָחִֽי׃ [And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.818/) [And Esau said in his heart: 'Let the days of mourning for my father be at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.819/) ## 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:768 # text = וַיִּשְׂטֹ֤ם עֵשָׂו֙ אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹ֔ב עַל־הַ֨בְּרָכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בֵּרֲכ֖וֹ אָבִ֑יו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר עֵשָׂ֜ו בְּלִבּ֗וֹ יִקְרְבוּ֙ יְמֵי֙ אֵ֣בֶל אָבִ֔י וְאַֽהַרְגָ֖ה אֶת־יַעֲקֹ֥ב אָחִֽי׃ # verse = GEN.27.41 1-2 וַיִּשְׂטֹ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:41!1|MId=o010270410011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׂטֹ֤ם שָׂטַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was.hostile.towards|Ref=GEN_27:41!1|MId=o010270410012|Strong=7852|Frame=A0:010270410021;A1:010270410041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עֵשָׂו֙ עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_27:41!2|MId=o010270410021|Strong=6215 4 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_27:41!3|MId=o010270410031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_27:41!4|MId=o010270410041|Strong=3290 6 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_27:41!5|MId=o010270410051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הַ֨בְּרָכָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ֨ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_27:41!6|MId=o010270410061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 בְּרָכָ֔ה בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=blessing|Ref=GEN_27:41!6|MId=o010270410062|Strong=1293 9 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_27:41!7|MId=o010270410071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10-11 בֵּרֲכ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בֵּרֲכ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_27:41!8|MId=o010270410081|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:010270410082;A0:010270410091;|Type=qatal 11 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=had.blessed.him|Ref=GEN_27:41!8|MId=o010270410082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 אָבִ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אָבִ֑י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_27:41!9|MId=o010270410091|Strong=0001 13 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_27:41!9|MId=o010270410092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:41!10|MId=o010270410101|Strong=2050b 15 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_27:41!10|MId=o010270410102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270410111;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 עֵשָׂ֜ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_27:41!11|MId=o010270410111|Strong=6215 17-19 בְּלִבּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_27:41!12|MId=o010270410121|Strong=0871a 18 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=heart|Ref=GEN_27:41!12|MId=o010270410122|Strong=3820 19 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_27:41!12|MId=o010270410123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 יִקְרְבוּ֙ קָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 ccomp _ Gloss=they.will.draw.near|Ref=GEN_27:41!13|MId=o010270410131|Strong=7126|Frame=A0:010270410141;|Type=yiqtol 21 יְמֵי֙ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 nsubj _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=GEN_27:41!14|MId=o010270410141|Strong=3117 22 אֵ֣בֶל אֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.mourning|Ref=GEN_27:41!15|MId=o010270410151|Strong=0060 23-24 אָבִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אָב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.father|Ref=GEN_27:41!16|MId=o010270410161|Strong=0001 24 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_27:41!16|MId=o010270410162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25-26 וְאַֽהַרְגָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:41!17|MId=o010270410171|Strong=2050b 26 אַֽהַרְגָ֖ה הָרַג VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 20 conj _ Gloss=I.will.kill|Ref=GEN_27:41!17|MId=o010270410172|Strong=2026|Frame=A0:010270410111;A1:010270410191;|Type=cohortative 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_27:41!18|MId=o010270410181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 28 יַעֲקֹ֥ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 26 obj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_27:41!19|MId=o010270410191|Strong=3290 29-30 אָחִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אָח אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_27:41!20|MId=o010270410201|Strong=0251 30 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_27:41!20|MId=o010270410202|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_27:41!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
