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 — Jacob, trespass, thou — and what happens in the verse to Laban, trespass, sin, 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. וַיִּ֥חַר לְיַעֲקֹ֖ב וַיָּ֣רֶב בְּלָבָ֑ן וַיַּ֤עַן יַעֲקֹב֙ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְלָבָ֔ן מַה־פִּשְׁעִי֙ מַ֣ה חַטָּאתִ֔י כִּ֥י דָלַ֖קְתָּ אַחֲרָֽי׃ [And Jacob was wroth, and strove with Laban.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.975/) [And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.976/) ## 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:909 # text = וַיִּ֥חַר לְיַעֲקֹ֖ב וַיָּ֣רֶב בְּלָבָ֑ן וַיַּ֤עַן יַעֲקֹב֙ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְלָבָ֔ן מַה־פִּשְׁעִי֙ מַ֣ה חַטָּאתִ֔י כִּ֥י דָלַ֖קְתָּ אַחֲרָֽי׃ # verse = GEN.31.36 1-2 וַיִּ֥חַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:36!1|MId=o010310360011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּ֥חַר חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.burned|Ref=GEN_31:36!1|MId=o010310360012|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לְיַעֲקֹ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_31:36!2|MId=o010310360021|Strong=3807a 4 יַעֲקֹ֖ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_31:36!2|MId=o010310360022|Strong=3290 5-6 וַיָּ֣רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:36!3|MId=o010310360031|Strong=2050b 6 יָּ֣רֶב רִיב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.quarreled|Ref=GEN_31:36!3|MId=o010310360032|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:010310360022;|Type=wayyiqtol 7-8 בְּלָבָ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_31:36!4|MId=o010310360041|Strong=0871a 8 לָבָ֑ן לָבָן PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Laban|Ref=GEN_31:36!4|MId=o010310360042|Strong=3837 9-10 וַיַּ֤עַן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:36!5|MId=o010310360051|Strong=2050b 10 יַּ֤עַן עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.answered|Ref=GEN_31:36!5|MId=o010310360052|Strong=6030|Frame=A0:010310360061;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 יַעֲקֹב֙ יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_31:36!6|MId=o010310360061|Strong=3290 12-13 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_31:36!7|MId=o010310360071|Strong=2050b 13 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_31:36!7|MId=o010310360072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010310360061;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 לְלָבָ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_31:36!8|MId=o010310360081|Strong=3807a 15 לָבָ֔ן לָבָן PROPN _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=Laban|Ref=GEN_31:36!8|MId=o010310360082|Strong=3837 16 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 13 ccomp _ Gloss=what?|Ref=GEN_31:36!9|MId=o010310360091|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 פִּשְׁעִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 פִּשְׁע פֶּשַׁע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=transgression|Ref=GEN_31:36!10|MId=o010310360101|Strong=6588 18 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].my|Ref=GEN_31:36!10|MId=o010310360102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19 מַ֣ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 16 parataxis _ Gloss=what?|Ref=GEN_31:36!11|MId=o010310360111|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 20-21 חַטָּאתִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 חַטָּאת חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=sin|Ref=GEN_31:36!12|MId=o010310360121|Strong=2403 21 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].my|Ref=GEN_31:36!12|MId=o010310360122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 22 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_31:36!13|MId=o010310360131|Strong=3588 23 דָלַ֖קְתָּ דָּלַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 16 parataxis _ Gloss=you.have.hotly.pursued|Ref=GEN_31:36!14|MId=o010310360141|Strong=1814|Frame=A0:010310360082;|Type=qatal 24-25 אַחֲרָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אַחֲר אַחַר ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_31:36!15|MId=o010310360151|Strong=0310 25 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_31:36!15|MId=o010310360152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=GEN_31:36!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּחַר *it burned* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יָּרֶב *he quarreled* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | יַּעַן *he answered* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | דָלַקְתָּ *you have hotly pursued* | qatal · qal | לָבָן *Laban* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
