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 — eyes, voice, man — and what happens in the verse to voice, garden, eyes, presence, 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. וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֞וּ אֶת־ק֨וֹל יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים מִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בַּגָּ֖ן לְר֣וּחַ הַיּ֑וֹם וַיִּתְחַבֵּ֨א הָֽאָדָ֜ם וְאִשְׁתּ֗וֹ מִפְּנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֔ים בְּת֖וֹךְ עֵ֥ץ הַגָּֽן׃ [And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden toward the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.68/) ## 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:63 # text = וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֞וּ אֶת־ק֨וֹל יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים מִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בַּגָּ֖ן לְר֣וּחַ הַיּ֑וֹם וַיִּתְחַבֵּ֨א הָֽאָדָ֜ם וְאִשְׁתּ֗וֹ מִפְּנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֔ים בְּת֖וֹךְ עֵ֥ץ הַגָּֽן׃ # verse = GEN.3.8 1-2 וַֽיִּשְׁמְע֞וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:8!1|MId=o010030080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמְע֞וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.heard|Ref=GEN_3:8!1|MId=o010030080012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010030060022;010030060192;A1:010030080031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_3:8!2|MId=o010030080021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 ק֨וֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.sound|Ref=GEN_3:8!3|MId=o010030080031|Strong=6963 5 יְהוָ֧ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=GEN_3:8!4|MId=o010030080041|Strong=3068 6 אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_3:8!5|MId=o010030080051|Strong=0430 7 מִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=walking.about|Ref=GEN_3:8!6|MId=o010030080061|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010030080041;|Type=participle_active 8-10 בַּגָּ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_3:8!7|MId=o010030080071|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:8!7|MId=o010030080071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 גָּ֖ן גַּן NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=garden|Ref=GEN_3:8!7|MId=o010030080072|Strong=1588 11-12 לְר֣וּחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_3:8!8|MId=o010030080081|Strong=3807a 12 ר֣וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.wind|Ref=GEN_3:8!8|MId=o010030080082|Strong=7307 13-14 הַיּ֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_3:8!9|MId=o010030080091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 יּ֑וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=GEN_3:8!9|MId=o010030080092|Strong=3117 15-16 וַיִּתְחַבֵּ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:8!10|MId=o010030080101|Strong=2050b 16 יִּתְחַבֵּ֨א חָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.hid.himself|Ref=GEN_3:8!10|MId=o010030080102|Strong=2244|Frame=A0:010030080112;010030080122;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 הָֽאָדָ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_3:8!11|MId=o010030080111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אָדָ֜ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=GEN_3:8!11|MId=o010030080112|Strong=0120 19-21 וְאִשְׁתּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_3:8!12|MId=o010030080121|Strong=2050b 20 אִשְׁתּ אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=wife|Ref=GEN_3:8!12|MId=o010030080122|Strong=0802 21 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_3:8!12|MId=o010030080123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 מִפְּנֵי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_3:8!13|MId=o010030080131|Strong=4480 23 פְּנֵי֙ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_3:8!13|MId=o010030080132|Strong=6440 24 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_3:8!14|MId=o010030080141|Strong=3068 25 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_3:8!15|MId=o010030080151|Strong=0430 26-27 בְּת֖וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=GEN_3:8!16|MId=o010030080161|Strong=0871a 27 ת֖וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_3:8!16|MId=o010030080162|Strong=8432 28 עֵ֥ץ עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.tree[s]|Ref=GEN_3:8!17|MId=o010030080171|Strong=6086 29-30 הַגָּֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_3:8!18|MId=o010030080181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 גָּֽן גַּן NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.garden|Ref=GEN_3:8!18|MId=o010030080182|Strong=1588 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_3:8!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמְעוּ *they heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | | קוֹל *the sound* | | | | מִתְהַלֵּךְ *walking about* | participle active · hithpael | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* | | | | | יִּתְחַבֵּא *he hid himself* | wayyiqtol · hithpael | אָדָם *man* + אִשְׁתּ *wife* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
