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 — Jacob, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse to sleep, place, 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. וַיִּיקַ֣ץ יַעֲקֹב֮ מִשְּׁנָתוֹ֒ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אָכֵן֙ יֵ֣שׁ יְהוָ֔ה בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וְאָנֹכִ֖י לֹ֥א יָדָֽעְתִּי׃ [And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: 'Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.843/) ## 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:789 # text = וַיִּיקַ֣ץ יַעֲקֹב֮ מִשְּׁנָתוֹ֒ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אָכֵן֙ יֵ֣שׁ יְהוָ֔ה בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וְאָנֹכִ֖י לֹ֥א יָדָֽעְתִּי׃ # verse = GEN.28.16 1-2 וַיִּיקַ֣ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_28:16!1|MId=o010280160011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּיקַ֣ץ יָקַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.awoke|Ref=GEN_28:16!1|MId=o010280160012|Strong=3364|Frame=A0:010280160021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יַעֲקֹב֮ יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_28:16!2|MId=o010280160021|Strong=3290 4-6 מִשְּׁנָתוֹ֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_28:16!3|MId=o010280160031|Strong=4480 5 שְּׁנָת שֵׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=sleep|Ref=GEN_28:16!3|MId=o010280160032|Strong=8142 6 וֹ֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_28:16!3|MId=o010280160033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_28:16!4|MId=o010280160041|Strong=2050b 8 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_28:16!4|MId=o010280160042|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010280160021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 אָכֵן֙ אָכֵן ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=truly|Ref=GEN_28:16!5|MId=o010280160051|Strong=0403 10 יֵ֣שׁ יֵשׁ ADV _ _ 8 ccomp _ Gloss=(there)|Ref=GEN_28:16!6|MId=o010280160061|Strong=3426|Type=demonstrative 11 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_28:16!7|MId=o010280160071|Strong=3068 12-14 בַּמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=GEN_28:16!8|MId=o010280160081|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_28:16!8|MId=o010280160081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=GEN_28:16!8|MId=o010280160082|Strong=4725 15-16 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_28:16!9|MId=o010280160091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 14 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_28:16!9|MId=o010280160092|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 17-18 וְאָנֹכִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_28:16!10|MId=o010280160101|Strong=2050b 18 אָנֹכִ֖י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_28:16!10|MId=o010280160102|Strong=0595|Type=personal 19 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_28:16!11|MId=o010280160111|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 יָדָֽעְתִּי יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=I.realized|Ref=GEN_28:16!12|MId=o010280160121|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:010280160102;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=GEN_28:16!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּיקַץ *he awoke* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | **not** יָדָֽעְתִּי *I realized* | qatal · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
