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 — Reuben, Rachel, I — and what happens in the verse to mandrakes, field, Leah, me, 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. וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ רְאוּבֵ֜ן בִּימֵ֣י קְצִיר־חִטִּ֗ים וַיִּמְצָ֤א דֽוּדָאִים֙ בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וַיָּבֵ֣א אֹתָ֔ם אֶל־לֵאָ֖ה אִמּ֑וֹ וַתֹּ֤אמֶר רָחֵל֙ אֶל־לֵאָ֔ה תְּנִי־נָ֣א לִ֔י מִדּוּדָאֵ֖י בְּנֵֽךְ׃ [And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.900/) [Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.901/) ## 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:844 # text = וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ רְאוּבֵ֜ן בִּימֵ֣י קְצִיר־חִטִּ֗ים וַיִּמְצָ֤א דֽוּדָאִים֙ בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה וַיָּבֵ֣א אֹתָ֔ם אֶל־לֵאָ֖ה אִמּ֑וֹ וַתֹּ֤אמֶר רָחֵל֙ אֶל־לֵאָ֔ה תְּנִי־נָ֣א לִ֔י מִדּוּדָאֵ֖י בְּנֵֽךְ׃ # verse = GEN.30.14 1-2 וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:14!1|MId=o010300140011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּ֨לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=GEN_30:14!1|MId=o010300140012|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010300140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 רְאוּבֵ֜ן רְאוּבֵן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Reuben|Ref=GEN_30:14!2|MId=o010300140021|Strong=7205 4-5 בִּימֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in.[the]|Ref=GEN_30:14!3|MId=o010300140031|Strong=0871a 5 ימֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=GEN_30:14!3|MId=o010300140032|Strong=3117 6 קְצִיר־ קָצִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].harvest|Ref=GEN_30:14!4|MId=o010300140041|Strong=7105|SpaceAfter=No 7 חִטִּ֗ים חִטָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wheat(s)|Ref=GEN_30:14!5|MId=o010300140051|Strong=2406 8-9 וַיִּמְצָ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:14!6|MId=o010300140061|Strong=2050b 9 יִּמְצָ֤א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.found|Ref=GEN_30:14!6|MId=o010300140062|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:010300140021;A1:010300140071;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 דֽוּדָאִים֙ דּוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=mandrakes|Ref=GEN_30:14!7|MId=o010300140071|Strong=1736 11-13 בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_30:14!8|MId=o010300140081|Strong=0871a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_30:14!8|MId=o010300140081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 שָּׂדֶ֔ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=field|Ref=GEN_30:14!8|MId=o010300140082|Strong=7704 14-15 וַיָּבֵ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:14!9|MId=o010300140091|Strong=2050b 15 יָּבֵ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.brought|Ref=GEN_30:14!9|MId=o010300140092|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:010300140021;A0:010300140102;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 אֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_30:14!10|MId=o010300140101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_30:14!10|MId=o010300140102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_30:14!11|MId=o010300140111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 19 לֵאָ֖ה לֵאָה PROPN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=Leah|Ref=GEN_30:14!12|MId=o010300140121|Strong=3812 20-21 אִמּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=mother|Ref=GEN_30:14!13|MId=o010300140131|Strong=0517 21 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_30:14!13|MId=o010300140132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 וַתֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:14!14|MId=o010300140141|Strong=2050b 23 תֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=GEN_30:14!14|MId=o010300140142|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010300140151;|Type=wayyiqtol 24 רָחֵל֙ רָחֵל PROPN _ _ 23 nsubj _ Gloss=Rachel|Ref=GEN_30:14!15|MId=o010300140151|Strong=7354 25 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_30:14!16|MId=o010300140161|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 26 לֵאָ֔ה לֵאָה PROPN _ _ 23 obl _ Gloss=Leah|Ref=GEN_30:14!17|MId=o010300140171|Strong=3812 27 תְּנִי־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 23 ccomp _ Gloss=give|Ref=GEN_30:14!18|MId=o010300140181|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010300140171;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 28 נָ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 27 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_30:14!19|MId=o010300140191|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 29-30 לִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 ל לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_30:14!20|MId=o010300140201|Strong=3807a 30 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 27 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_30:14!20|MId=o010300140202|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31-32 מִדּוּדָאֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=GEN_30:14!21|MId=o010300140211|Strong=4480 32 דּוּדָאֵ֖י דּוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 obl _ Gloss=of.the.mandrakes|Ref=GEN_30:14!21|MId=o010300140212|Strong=1736 33-34 בְּנֵֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.son|Ref=GEN_30:14!22|MId=o010300140221|Strong=1121 34 ֵֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_30:14!22|MId=o010300140222|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=GEN_30:14!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
