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 — you — and what happens in the verse to Paddan aram, wife, thee, 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. ק֥וּם לֵךְ֙ פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֔םפַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֔ם פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֔ם בֵּ֥יתָה בְתוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִ֣י אִמֶּ֑ךָ וְקַח־לְךָ֤ מִשָּׁם֙ אִשָּׁ֔ה מִבְּנ֥וֹת לָבָ֖ן אֲחִ֥י אִמֶּֽךָ׃ [Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.827/) ## 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:775 # text = ק֥וּם לֵךְ֙ פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֔םפַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֔ם פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָ֔ם בֵּ֥יתָה בְתוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִ֣י אִמֶּ֑ךָ וְקַח־לְךָ֤ מִשָּׁם֙ אִשָּׁ֔ה מִבְּנ֥וֹת לָבָ֖ן אֲחִ֥י אִמֶּֽךָ׃ # verse = GEN.28.2 1 ק֥וּם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=arise|Ref=GEN_28:2!1|MId=o010280020011|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:010280010041;|Type=imperative 2 לֵךְ֙ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=go|Ref=GEN_28:2!2|MId=o010280020021|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010280010041;|Type=imperative 3 פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה פַּדָּן PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_28:2!3|MId=o010280020031 4-5 אֲרָ֔םפַּדֶּ֣נָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲרָ֔ם _ PROPN _ _ 3 flat:name _ Ref=GEN_28:2!3 5 פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה ה NOUN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Paddan|Ref=GEN_28:2!3|MId=o010280020032|Type=directional_he 6 אֲרָ֔ם _ NOUN _ _ 5 flat _ Ref=GEN_28:2!3 7 פַּדֶּ֣נָֽה אֲרָם PROPN _ _ 2 dep _ Gloss=Aram|Ref=GEN_28:2!4|MId=o010280020041 8 אֲרָ֔ם _ PROPN _ _ 7 flat:name _ Ref=GEN_28:2!4 9-10 בֵּ֥יתָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=GEN_28:2!5|MId=o010280020051|Strong=1004 10 ָה ה X _ _ 9 nmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_28:2!5|MId=o010280020052|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 11 בְתוּאֵ֖ל בְּתוּאֵל PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Bethuel|Ref=GEN_28:2!6|MId=o010280020061|Strong=1328 12 אֲבִ֣י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=the.father|Ref=GEN_28:2!7|MId=o010280020071|Strong=0001 13-14 אִמֶּ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.mother|Ref=GEN_28:2!8|MId=o010280020081|Strong=0517 14 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_28:2!8|MId=o010280020082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-16 וְקַח־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_28:2!9|MId=o010280020091|Strong=2050b 16 קַח־ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=take|Ref=GEN_28:2!9|MId=o010280020092|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010280010041;A1:010280020111;|Type=imperative 17-18 לְךָ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ל לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_28:2!10|MId=o010280020101|Strong=3807a 18 ְךָ֤ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=GEN_28:2!10|MId=o010280020102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19-20 מִשָּׁם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_28:2!11|MId=o010280020111|Strong=4480 20 שָּׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_28:2!11|MId=o010280020112|Strong=8033 21 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=a.wife|Ref=GEN_28:2!12|MId=o010280020121|Strong=0802 22-23 מִבְּנ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=one|Ref=GEN_28:2!13|MId=o010280020131|Strong=4480 23 בְּנ֥וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=of.the.daughters|Ref=GEN_28:2!13|MId=o010280020132|Strong=1323 24 לָבָ֖ן לָבָן PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Laban|Ref=GEN_28:2!14|MId=o010280020141|Strong=3837 25 אֲחִ֥י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 appos _ Gloss=the.brother|Ref=GEN_28:2!15|MId=o010280020151|Strong=0251 26-27 אִמֶּֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.mother|Ref=GEN_28:2!16|MId=o010280020161|Strong=0517 27 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_28:2!16|MId=o010280020162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_28:2!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | קוּם *arise* | imperative · qal | | | | | | לֵךְ *go* | imperative · qal | | | | | | קַח־ *take* | imperative · qal | | מִ *from* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
