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 — God, flaming sword — and what happens in the verse to man, cherubim, east, way, 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. וַיְגָ֖רֶשׁ אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֑ם וַיַּשְׁכֵּן֩ מִקֶּ֨דֶם לְגַן־עֵ֜דֶן אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִ֗ים וְאֵ֨ת לַ֤הַט הַחֶ֙רֶב֙ הַמִּתְהַפֶּ֔כֶת לִשְׁמֹ֕ר אֶת־דֶּ֖רֶךְ עֵ֥ץ הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ס [So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the tree of life.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.85/) ## 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:79 # text = וַיְגָ֖רֶשׁ אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֑ם וַיַּשְׁכֵּן֩ מִקֶּ֨דֶם לְגַן־עֵ֜דֶן אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִ֗ים וְאֵ֨ת לַ֤הַט הַחֶ֙רֶב֙ הַמִּתְהַפֶּ֔כֶת לִשְׁמֹ֕ר אֶת־דֶּ֖רֶךְ עֵ֥ץ הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ס # verse = GEN.3.24 1-2 וַיְגָ֖רֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:24!1|MId=o010030240011|Strong=2050b 2 יְגָ֖רֶשׁ גָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.drove.out|Ref=GEN_3:24!1|MId=o010030240012|Strong=1644|Frame=A0:010030230021;A1:010030240032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_3:24!2|MId=o010030240021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָֽאָדָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:24!3|MId=o010030240031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אָדָ֑ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=man|Ref=GEN_3:24!3|MId=o010030240032|Strong=0120 6-7 וַיַּשְׁכֵּן֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:24!4|MId=o010030240041|Strong=2050b 7 יַּשְׁכֵּן֩ שָׁכַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.caused.to.dwell|Ref=GEN_3:24!4|MId=o010030240042|Strong=7931|Frame=AA:010030230021;A0:010030240092;010030240111;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 מִקֶּ֨דֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_3:24!5|MId=o010030240051|Strong=4480 9 קֶּ֨דֶם קֶדֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=east|Ref=GEN_3:24!5|MId=o010030240052|Strong=6924 10-11 לְגַן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_3:24!6|MId=o010030240061|Strong=3807a 11 גַן־ גַּן NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nmod _ Gloss=the.garden|Ref=GEN_3:24!6|MId=o010030240062|Strong=1588 12 עֵ֜דֶן עֵדֶן PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Eden|Ref=GEN_3:24!7|MId=o010030240071|Strong=5731 13 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_3:24!8|MId=o010030240081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 הַכְּרֻבִ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:24!9|MId=o010030240091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 כְּרֻבִ֗ים כְּרוּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obj _ Gloss=cherubim|Ref=GEN_3:24!9|MId=o010030240092|Strong=3742 16-17 וְאֵ֨ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:24!10|MId=o010030240101|Strong=2050b 17 אֵ֨ת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_3:24!10|MId=o010030240102|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 לַ֤הַט לַהַט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=the.flame|Ref=GEN_3:24!11|MId=o010030240111|Strong=3858 19-20 הַחֶ֙רֶב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_3:24!12|MId=o010030240121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 חֶ֙רֶב֙ חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sword|Ref=GEN_3:24!12|MId=o010030240122|Strong=2719 21-22 הַמִּתְהַפֶּ֔כֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_3:24!13|MId=o010030240131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 מִּתְהַפֶּ֔כֶת הָפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing 20 acl:relcl _ Gloss=whirling|Ref=GEN_3:24!13|MId=o010030240132|Strong=2015|Frame=A0:010030240122;|Type=participle_active 23-24 לִשְׁמֹ֕ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_3:24!14|MId=o010030240141|Strong=3807a 24 שְׁמֹ֕ר שָׁמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 advcl _ Gloss=guard|Ref=GEN_3:24!14|MId=o010030240142|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:010030240092;010030240111;A1:010030240161;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_3:24!15|MId=o010030240151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 26 דֶּ֖רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=the.way|Ref=GEN_3:24!16|MId=o010030240161|Strong=1870 27 עֵ֥ץ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.tree|Ref=GEN_3:24!17|MId=o010030240171|Strong=6086 28-29 הַֽחַיִּֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=GEN_3:24!18|MId=o010030240181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 חַיִּֽים חַיִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=life|Ref=GEN_3:24!18|MId=o010030240182|Strong=2416 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_3:24!18|SpaceAfter=No 31 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_3:24!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְגָרֶשׁ *he drove out* | wayyiqtol · piel | | אָדָם *man* | | | | יַּשְׁכֵּן *he caused to dwell* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | כְּרֻבִים *cherubim* + לַהַט *the flame* | | | | | מִּתְהַפֶּכֶת *whirling* | participle active · hithpael | חֶרֶב *the sword* | | | | | שְׁמֹר *guard* | infinitive construct · qal | כְּרֻבִים *cherubim* + לַהַט *the flame* | דֶּרֶךְ *the way* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
