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, three flocks, sheep, stone — and what happens in the verse to well, field, flocks, 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. וַיַּ֞רְא וְהִנֵּ֧ה בְאֵ֣ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּה־שָׁ֞ם שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה עֶדְרֵי־צֹאן֙ רֹבְצִ֣ים עָלֶ֔יהָ כִּ֚י מִן־הַבְּאֵ֣ר הַהִ֔וא יַשְׁק֖וּ הָעֲדָרִ֑ים וְהָאֶ֥בֶן גְּדֹלָ֖ה עַל־פִּ֥י הַבְּאֵֽר׃ [And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. — For out of that well they watered the flocks.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.851/) [And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.852/) ## 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:797 # text = וַיַּ֞רְא וְהִנֵּ֧ה בְאֵ֣ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה וְהִנֵּה־שָׁ֞ם שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה עֶדְרֵי־צֹאן֙ רֹבְצִ֣ים עָלֶ֔יהָ כִּ֚י מִן־הַבְּאֵ֣ר הַהִ֔וא יַשְׁק֖וּ הָעֲדָרִ֑ים וְהָאֶ֥בֶן גְּדֹלָ֖ה עַל־פִּ֥י הַבְּאֵֽר׃ # verse = GEN.29.2 1-2 וַיַּ֞רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_29:2!1|MId=o010290020011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֞רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_29:2!1|MId=o010290020012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010290010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וְהִנֵּ֧ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_29:2!2|MId=o010290020021|Strong=2050b 4 הִנֵּ֧ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 8 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_29:2!2|MId=o010290020022|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 5 בְאֵ֣ר בְּאֵר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=a.well|Ref=GEN_29:2!3|MId=o010290020031|Strong=0875 6-8 בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=GEN_29:2!4|MId=o010290020041|Strong=0871a 7 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_29:2!4|MId=o010290020041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 שָּׂדֶ֗ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=field|Ref=GEN_29:2!4|MId=o010290020042|Strong=7704 9-10 וְהִנֵּה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_29:2!5|MId=o010290020051|Strong=2050b 10 הִנֵּה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 15 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_29:2!5|MId=o010290020052|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 11 שָׁ֞ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_29:2!6|MId=o010290020061|Strong=8033 12 שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=GEN_29:2!7|MId=o010290020071|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 13 עֶדְרֵי־ עֵדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=flocks|Ref=GEN_29:2!8|MId=o010290020081|Strong=5739|SpaceAfter=No 14 צֹאן֙ צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.sheep|Ref=GEN_29:2!9|MId=o010290020091|Strong=6629 15 רֹבְצִ֣ים רָבַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=[were].lying.down|Ref=GEN_29:2!10|MId=o010290020101|Strong=7257|Frame=A0:010290020081;|Type=participle_active 16-17 עָלֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עָלֶ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_29:2!11|MId=o010290020111|Strong=5921 17 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_29:2!11|MId=o010290020112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 18 כִּ֚י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_29:2!12|MId=o010290020121|Strong=3588 19 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_29:2!13|MId=o010290020131|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הַבְּאֵ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_29:2!14|MId=o010290020141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 בְּאֵ֣ר בְּאֵר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=well|Ref=GEN_29:2!14|MId=o010290020142|Strong=0875 22-23 הַהִ֔וא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_29:2!15|MId=o010290020151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 הִ֔וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=GEN_29:2!15|MId=o010290020152|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 24 יַשְׁק֖וּ שָׁקָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=people.watered|Ref=GEN_29:2!16|MId=o010290020161|Strong=8248|Frame=A0:;A1:010290020172;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 הָעֲדָרִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_29:2!17|MId=o010290020171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 עֲדָרִ֑ים עֵדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 obj _ Gloss=flocks|Ref=GEN_29:2!17|MId=o010290020172|Strong=5739 27-29 וְהָאֶ֥בֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_29:2!18|MId=o010290020181|Strong=2050b 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_29:2!18|MId=o010290020182|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 אֶ֥בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 32 nsubj _ Gloss=stone|Ref=GEN_29:2!18|MId=o010290020183|Strong=0068 30 גְּדֹלָ֖ה גָּדוֹל ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 amod _ Gloss=[was].large|Ref=GEN_29:2!19|MId=o010290020191|Strong=1419|Type=adjective 31 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=GEN_29:2!20|MId=o010290020201|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 32 פִּ֥י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.mouth|Ref=GEN_29:2!21|MId=o010290020211|Strong=6310 33-34 הַבְּאֵֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 34 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_29:2!22|MId=o010290020221|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 34 בְּאֵֽר בְּאֵר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.well|Ref=GEN_29:2!22|MId=o010290020222|Strong=0875 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=GEN_29:2!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
