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 — LORD God, this, thou, woman, serpent, I — and what happens in the verse to me, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים לָאִשָּׁ֖ה מַה־זֹּ֣את עָשִׂ֑ית וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה הַנָּחָ֥שׁ הִשִּׁיאַ֖נִי וָאֹכֵֽל׃ [And the LORD God said unto the woman: 'What is this thou hast done?' And the woman said: 'The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.74/) ## 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:68 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים לָאִשָּׁ֖ה מַה־זֹּ֣את עָשִׂ֑ית וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה הַנָּחָ֥שׁ הִשִּׁיאַ֖נִי וָאֹכֵֽל׃ # verse = GEN.3.13 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:13!1|MId=o010030130011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_3:13!1|MId=o010030130012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010030130021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֧ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_3:13!2|MId=o010030130021|Strong=3068 4 אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_3:13!3|MId=o010030130031|Strong=0430 5-7 לָאִשָּׁ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_3:13!4|MId=o010030130041|Strong=3807a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:13!4|MId=o010030130041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אִשָּׁ֖ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=woman|Ref=GEN_3:13!4|MId=o010030130042|Strong=0802 8 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 2 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=GEN_3:13!5|MId=o010030130051|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 9 זֹּ֣את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_3:13!6|MId=o010030130061|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 10 עָשִׂ֑ית עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 9 acl _ Gloss=have.you.done|Ref=GEN_3:13!7|MId=o010030130071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010030130043;A1:010030130061;|Type=qatal 11-12 וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:13!8|MId=o010030130081|Strong=2050b 12 תֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=GEN_3:13!8|MId=o010030130082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010030130092;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:13!9|MId=o010030130091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=GEN_3:13!9|MId=o010030130092|Strong=0802 15-16 הַנָּחָ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:13!10|MId=o010030130101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 נָּחָ֥שׁ נָחָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=snake|Ref=GEN_3:13!10|MId=o010030130102|Strong=5175 17-18 הִשִּׁיאַ֖נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הִשִּׁיא נָשָׁא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 ccomp _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_3:13!11|MId=o010030130111|Strong=5377|Frame=AA:010030130102;A0:010030130112;|Type=qatal 18 ַ֖נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=deceived.me|Ref=GEN_3:13!11|MId=o010030130112|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וָאֹכֵֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:13!12|MId=o010030130121|Strong=2050b 20 אֹכֵֽל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 17 conj _ Gloss=I.ate|Ref=GEN_3:13!12|MId=o010030130122|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:010030130092;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=GEN_3:13!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | עָשִׂית *have you done* | qatal · qal | | זֹּאת *this* | | | | תֹּאמֶר *she said* | wayyiqtol · qal | אִשָּׁה *woman* | | | | | הִשִּׁיא *it* | qatal · hiphil | ַנִי *deceived me* | | | נָּחָשׁ *snake* | | אֹכֵֽל *I ate* | wayyiqtol · qal | אִשָּׁה *woman* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
