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 — flocks — and what happens in the verse to sight, rods, 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. וַיֶּחֱמ֥וּ הַצֹּ֖אן אֶל־הַמַּקְל֑וֹת וַתֵּלַ֣דְןָ הַצֹּ֔אן עֲקֻדִּ֥ים נְקֻדִּ֖ים וּטְלֻאִֽים׃ [And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.929/) ## 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:869 # text = וַיֶּחֱמ֥וּ הַצֹּ֖אן אֶל־הַמַּקְל֑וֹת וַתֵּלַ֣דְןָ הַצֹּ֔אן עֲקֻדִּ֥ים נְקֻדִּ֖ים וּטְלֻאִֽים׃ # verse = GEN.30.39 1-2 וַיֶּחֱמ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:39!1|MId=o010300390011|Strong=2050b 2 יֶּחֱמ֥וּ יָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.were.in.heat|Ref=GEN_30:39!1|MId=o010300390012|Strong=3179|Frame=A0:010300390022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַצֹּ֖אן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_30:39!2|MId=o010300390021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 צֹּ֖אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=flock|Ref=GEN_30:39!2|MId=o010300390022|Strong=6629 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_30:39!3|MId=o010300390031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַמַּקְל֑וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_30:39!4|MId=o010300390041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מַּקְל֑וֹת מַקֵּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=branches|Ref=GEN_30:39!4|MId=o010300390042|Strong=4731 8-9 וַתֵּלַ֣דְןָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:39!5|MId=o010300390051|Strong=2050b 9 תֵּלַ֣דְןָ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.bore|Ref=GEN_30:39!5|MId=o010300390052|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:010300390062;A1:010300390071;010300390081;010300390092;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 הַצֹּ֔אן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_30:39!6|MId=o010300390061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 צֹּ֔אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=flock|Ref=GEN_30:39!6|MId=o010300390062|Strong=6629 12 עֲקֻדִּ֥ים עָקֹד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=striped.[ones]|Ref=GEN_30:39!7|MId=o010300390071|Strong=6124|Type=adjective 13 נְקֻדִּ֖ים נָקֹד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=speckled.[ones]|Ref=GEN_30:39!8|MId=o010300390081|Strong=5348|Type=adjective 14-15 וּטְלֻאִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_30:39!9|MId=o010300390091|Strong=2050b 15 טְלֻאִֽים טָלָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=spotted.[ones]|Ref=GEN_30:39!9|MId=o010300390092|Strong=2921|Type=participle_passive 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=GEN_30:39!9 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֶּחֱמוּ *they were in heat* | wayyiqtol · qal | צֹּאן *flock* | | | | | תֵּלַדְןָ *they bore* | wayyiqtol · qal | צֹּאן *flock* | עֲקֻדִּים *striped \[ones\]* + נְקֻדִּים *speckled \[ones\]* + טְלֻאִֽים *spotted \[ones\]* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
