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 — Rebekah, I — and what happens in the verse to father, 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. וְרִבְקָה֙ אָֽמְרָ֔ה אֶל־יַעֲקֹ֥ב בְּנָ֖הּ לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֤ה שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ אֶת־אָבִ֔יךָ מְדַבֵּ֛ר אֶל־עֵשָׂ֥ו אָחִ֖יךָ לֵאמֹֽר׃ [And Rebekah spoke unto Jacob her son, saying: 'Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.779/) ## 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:733 # text = וְרִבְקָה֙ אָֽמְרָ֔ה אֶל־יַעֲקֹ֥ב בְּנָ֖הּ לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֤ה שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ אֶת־אָבִ֔יךָ מְדַבֵּ֛ר אֶל־עֵשָׂ֥ו אָחִ֖יךָ לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = GEN.27.6 1-2 וְרִבְקָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_27:6!1|MId=o010270060011|Strong=2050b 2 רִבְקָה֙ רִבְקָה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Rebekah|Ref=GEN_27:6!1|MId=o010270060012|Strong=7259 3 אָֽמְרָ֔ה אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=GEN_27:6!2|MId=o010270060021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270060012;|Type=qatal 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:6!3|MId=o010270060031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יַעֲקֹ֥ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_27:6!4|MId=o010270060041|Strong=3290 6-7 בְּנָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_27:6!5|MId=o010270060051|Strong=1121 7 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_27:6!5|MId=o010270060052|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 8-9 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 11 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_27:6!6|MId=o010270060061|Strong=3807a 9 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_27:6!6|MId=o010270060062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270060012;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 11 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=GEN_27:6!7|MId=o010270060071|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 11 שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.heard|Ref=GEN_27:6!8|MId=o010270060081|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010270060012;A1:010270060111;|Type=qatal 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_27:6!9|MId=o010270060091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 אָבִ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אָבִ֔י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_27:6!10|MId=o010270060101|Strong=0001 14 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_27:6!10|MId=o010270060102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15 מְדַבֵּ֛ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=speaking|Ref=GEN_27:6!11|MId=o010270060111|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:010270060101;|Type=participle_active 16 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_27:6!12|MId=o010270060121|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 17 עֵשָׂ֥ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_27:6!13|MId=o010270060131|Strong=6215 18-19 אָחִ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אָחִ֖י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_27:6!14|MId=o010270060141|Strong=0251 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_27:6!14|MId=o010270060142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20-21 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 15 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_27:6!15|MId=o010270060151|Strong=3807a 21 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_27:6!15|MId=o010270060152|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010270060101;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=GEN_27:6!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָֽמְרָה *she said* | qatal · qal | רִבְקָה *Rebekah* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | רִבְקָה *Rebekah* | | | | | שָׁמַעְתִּי *I have heard* | qatal · qal | רִבְקָה *Rebekah* | מְדַבֵּר *speaking* | | | | מְדַבֵּר *speaking* | participle active · piel | אָבִי *father* | | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | אָבִי *father* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
