Genesis 31:27 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN.31.27/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Genesis](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/) / [chapter 31](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/31/) / 31:27 # Genesis 31:27 בְּרֵאשִׁית **Who acts:** thou, I · **What happens:** flee, outwit, not tell, send away · **To what, where:** me, thee · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Genesis 31:27 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — thou, I — and what happens in the verse to 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. לָ֤מָּה נַחְבֵּ֙אתָ֙ לִבְרֹ֔חַ וַתִּגְנֹ֖ב אֹתִ֑י וְלֹא־הִגַּ֣דְתָּ לִּ֔י וָֽאֲשַׁלֵּחֲךָ֛ בְּשִׂמְחָ֥ה וּבְשִׁרִ֖ים בְּתֹ֥ף וּבְכִנּֽוֹר׃ [Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and outwit me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.964/) ## 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:900 # text = לָ֤מָּה נַחְבֵּ֙אתָ֙ לִבְרֹ֔חַ וַתִּגְנֹ֖ב אֹתִ֑י וְלֹא־הִגַּ֣דְתָּ לִּ֔י וָֽאֲשַׁלֵּחֲךָ֛ בְּשִׂמְחָ֥ה וּבְשִׁרִ֖ים בְּתֹ֥ף וּבְכִנּֽוֹר׃ # verse = GEN.31.27 1-2 לָ֤מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ֤ לָמָה ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_31:27!1|MId=o010310270011|Strong=3807a 2 מָּה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 3 obl _ Gloss=why?|Ref=GEN_31:27!1|MId=o010310270012|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 3 נַחְבֵּ֙אתָ֙ חָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=did.you.hide.yourself|Ref=GEN_31:27!2|MId=o010310270021|Strong=2244|Frame=A0:010310260032;|Type=qatal 4-5 לִבְרֹ֔חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_31:27!3|MId=o010310270031|Strong=3807a 5 בְרֹ֔חַ בָּרַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 3 advcl _ Gloss=flee|Ref=GEN_31:27!3|MId=o010310270032|Strong=1272|Frame=A0:010310260032;|Type=infinitive_construct 6-7 וַתִּגְנֹ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:27!4|MId=o010310270041|Strong=2050b 7 תִּגְנֹ֖ב גָּנַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=did.you.steal?|Ref=GEN_31:27!4|MId=o010310270042|Strong=1589|Frame=A0:010310260032;A1:010310270052;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 אֹתִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_31:27!5|MId=o010310270051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_31:27!5|MId=o010310270052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:27!6|MId=o010310270061|Strong=2050b 11 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_31:27!6|MId=o010310270062|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 הִגַּ֣דְתָּ נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=did.you.tell?|Ref=GEN_31:27!7|MId=o010310270071|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:010310260032;|Type=qatal 13-14 לִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_31:27!8|MId=o010310270081|Strong=3807a 14 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_31:27!8|MId=o010310270082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-17 וָֽאֲשַׁלֵּחֲךָ֛ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וָֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:27!9|MId=o010310270091|Strong=2050b 16 אֲשַׁלֵּח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_31:27!9|MId=o010310270092|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:010310260021;A1:010310270093;|Type=yiqtol 17 ֲךָ֛ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=sent.you.away|Ref=GEN_31:27!9|MId=o010310270093|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּשִׂמְחָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_31:27!10|MId=o010310270101|Strong=0871a 19 שִׂמְחָ֥ה שִׂמְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=gladness|Ref=GEN_31:27!10|MId=o010310270102|Strong=8057 20-22 וּבְשִׁרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:27!11|MId=o010310270111|Strong=2050b 21 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_31:27!11|MId=o010310270112|Strong=0871a 22 שִׁרִ֖ים שִׁיר NOUN _ Number=Plur 19 conj _ Gloss=songs|Ref=GEN_31:27!11|MId=o010310270113|Strong=7892 23-24 בְּתֹ֥ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_31:27!12|MId=o010310270121|Strong=0871a 24 תֹ֥ף תֹּף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=tambourine|Ref=GEN_31:27!12|MId=o010310270122|Strong=8596 25-27 וּבְכִנּֽוֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:27!13|MId=o010310270131|Strong=2050b 26 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_31:27!13|MId=o010310270132|Strong=0871a 27 כִנּֽוֹר כִּנּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 conj _ Gloss=harp|Ref=GEN_31:27!13|MId=o010310270133|Strong=3658 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_31:27!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נַחְבֵּאתָ *did you hide yourself* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | בְרֹחַ *flee* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | תִּגְנֹב *did you steal?* | wayyiqtol · qal | | ִי *me* | | | | **not** הִגַּדְתָּ *did you tell?* | qatal · hiphil | | | | | | אֲשַׁלֵּח *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ֲךָ *sent you away* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
