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 — Rachel, it, thou, husband — and what happens in the verse to small matter, mandrakes, 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. וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לָ֗הּ הַמְעַט֙ קַחְתֵּ֣ךְ אֶת־אִישִׁ֔י וְלָקַ֕חַת גַּ֥ם אֶת־דּוּדָאֵ֖י בְּנִ֑י וַתֹּ֣אמֶר רָחֵ֗ל לָכֵן֙ יִשְׁכַּ֤ב עִמָּךְ֙ הַלַּ֔יְלָה תַּ֖חַת דּוּדָאֵ֥י בְנֵֽךְ׃ [And she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:845 # text = וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לָ֗הּ הַמְעַט֙ קַחְתֵּ֣ךְ אֶת־אִישִׁ֔י וְלָקַ֕חַת גַּ֥ם אֶת־דּוּדָאֵ֖י בְּנִ֑י וַתֹּ֣אמֶר רָחֵ֗ל לָכֵן֙ יִשְׁכַּ֤ב עִמָּךְ֙ הַלַּ֔יְלָה תַּ֖חַת דּוּדָאֵ֥י בְנֵֽךְ׃ # verse = GEN.30.15 1-2 וַתֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:15!1|MId=o010300150011|Strong=2050b 2 תֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=GEN_30:15!1|MId=o010300150012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010300140171;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לָ֗הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_30:15!2|MId=o010300150021|Strong=3807a 4 ָ֗הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_30:15!2|MId=o010300150022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5-6 הַמְעַט֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ PART _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=GEN_30:15!3|MId=o010300150031|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 6 מְעַט֙ מְעַט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=small|Ref=GEN_30:15!3|MId=o010300150032|Strong=4592 7-8 קַחְתֵּ֣ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 קַחְתּ לָקַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 nsubj _ Gloss=[was].your|Ref=GEN_30:15!4|MId=o010300150041|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010300150042;A1:010300150061;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 ֵ֣ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=taking|Ref=GEN_30:15!4|MId=o010300150042|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_30:15!5|MId=o010300150051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 אִישִׁ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אִישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=husband|Ref=GEN_30:15!6|MId=o010300150061|Strong=0376 11 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_30:15!6|MId=o010300150062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-14 וְלָקַ֕חַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:15!7|MId=o010300150071|Strong=2050b 13 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_30:15!7|MId=o010300150072|Strong=3807a 14 קַ֕חַת לָקַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 conj _ Gloss=taking|Ref=GEN_30:15!7|MId=o010300150073|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010300140151;A1:010300150101;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 גַּ֥ם גַּם ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=GEN_30:15!8|MId=o010300150081|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_30:15!9|MId=o010300150091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17 דּוּדָאֵ֖י דּוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obj _ Gloss=the.mandrakes|Ref=GEN_30:15!10|MId=o010300150101|Strong=1736 18-19 בְּנִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.son|Ref=GEN_30:15!11|MId=o010300150111|Strong=1121 19 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_30:15!11|MId=o010300150112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וַתֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:15!12|MId=o010300150121|Strong=2050b 21 תֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.said|Ref=GEN_30:15!12|MId=o010300150122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010300150131;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 רָחֵ֗ל רָחֵל PROPN _ _ 21 nsubj _ Gloss=Rachel|Ref=GEN_30:15!13|MId=o010300150131|Strong=7354 23-24 לָכֵן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=GEN_30:15!14|MId=o010300150141|Strong=3807a 24 כֵן֙ כֵּן ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_30:15!14|MId=o010300150142|Strong=3651 25 יִשְׁכַּ֤ב שָׁכַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 21 ccomp _ Gloss=he.will.lie|Ref=GEN_30:15!15|MId=o010300150151|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:010300150061;|Type=yiqtol 26-27 עִמָּךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_30:15!16|MId=o010300150161|Strong=5973 27 ָךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_30:15!16|MId=o010300150162|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 28-29 הַלַּ֔יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_30:15!17|MId=o010300150171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 לַּ֔יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=night|Ref=GEN_30:15!17|MId=o010300150172|Strong=3915 30 תַּ֖חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 25 obl _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_30:15!18|MId=o010300150181|Strong=8478 31 דּוּדָאֵ֥י דּוּדַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.mandrakes|Ref=GEN_30:15!19|MId=o010300150191|Strong=1736 32-33 בְנֵֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בְנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.son|Ref=GEN_30:15!20|MId=o010300150201|Strong=1121 33 ֵֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_30:15!20|MId=o010300150202|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=GEN_30:15!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
