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 — ye, servant, Esau, I, present — and what happens in the verse to Esau, face, me, 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. וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֕ם גַּ֗ם הִנֵּ֛ה עַבְדְּךָ֥ יַעֲקֹ֖ב אַחֲרֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־אָמַ֞ר אֲכַפְּרָ֣ה פָנָ֗יו בַּמִּנְחָה֙ הַהֹלֶ֣כֶת לְפָנָ֔י וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן֙ אֶרְאֶ֣ה פָנָ֔יו אוּלַ֖י יִשָּׂ֥א פָנָֽי׃ [(32-21) and ye shall say: Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:948 # text = וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֕ם גַּ֗ם הִנֵּ֛ה עַבְדְּךָ֥ יַעֲקֹ֖ב אַחֲרֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־אָמַ֞ר אֲכַפְּרָ֣ה פָנָ֗יו בַּמִּנְחָה֙ הַהֹלֶ֣כֶת לְפָנָ֔י וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן֙ אֶרְאֶ֣ה פָנָ֔יו אוּלַ֖י יִשָּׂ֥א פָנָֽי׃ # verse = GEN.32.21 1-2 וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֕ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:21!1|MId=o010320210011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲמַרְתֶּ֕ם אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=GEN_32:21!1|MId=o010320210012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010320200042;010320200072;010320200112;|Type=weqatal 3 גַּ֗ם גַּם ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=GEN_32:21!2|MId=o010320210021|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 4 הִנֵּ֛ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_32:21!3|MId=o010320210031|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 5-6 עַבְדְּךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=servant|Ref=GEN_32:21!4|MId=o010320210041|Strong=5650 6 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_32:21!4|MId=o010320210042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7 יַעֲקֹ֖ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 5 appos _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_32:21!5|MId=o010320210051|Strong=3290 8-9 אַחֲרֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אַחֲרֵ֑י אַחַר ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=[is].behind|Ref=GEN_32:21!6|MId=o010320210061|Strong=0310 9 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 conj _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_32:21!6|MId=o010320210062|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 10 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_32:21!7|MId=o010320210071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 11 אָמַ֞ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_32:21!8|MId=o010320210081|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010320100021;|Type=qatal 12 אֲכַפְּרָ֣ה כִּפֶּר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.cover|Ref=GEN_32:21!9|MId=o010320210091|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:010320100021;A1:010320210101;|Type=cohortative 13-14 פָנָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 פָנָ֗י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=GEN_32:21!10|MId=o010320210101|Strong=6440 14 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_32:21!10|MId=o010320210102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-17 בַּמִּנְחָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=GEN_32:21!11|MId=o010320210111|Strong=0871a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_32:21!11|MId=o010320210111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 מִּנְחָה֙ מִנְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=gift|Ref=GEN_32:21!11|MId=o010320210112|Strong=4503 18-19 הַהֹלֶ֣כֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=[which|Ref=GEN_32:21!12|MId=o010320210121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 הֹלֶ֣כֶת הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=is].going|Ref=GEN_32:21!12|MId=o010320210122|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010320210113;|Type=participle_active 20-22 לְפָנָ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_32:21!13|MId=o010320210131|Strong=3807a 21 פָנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_32:21!13|MId=o010320210132|Strong=6440 22 ָ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_32:21!13|MId=o010320210133|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְאַחֲרֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:21!14|MId=o010320210141|Strong=2050b 24 אַחֲרֵי־ אַחַר ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_32:21!14|MId=o010320210142|Strong=0310 25 כֵן֙ כֵּן ADV _ _ 26 obl _ Gloss=thus|Ref=GEN_32:21!15|MId=o010320210151|Strong=3651 26 אֶרְאֶ֣ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 12 conj _ Gloss=I.will.see|Ref=GEN_32:21!16|MId=o010320210161|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010320100021;A1:010320210171;|Type=yiqtol 27-28 פָנָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 פָנָ֔י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 26 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=GEN_32:21!17|MId=o010320210171|Strong=6440 28 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_32:21!17|MId=o010320210172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29 אוּלַ֖י אוּלַי ADV _ _ 30 advmod _ Gloss=perhaps|Ref=GEN_32:21!18|MId=o010320210181|Strong=0194 30 יִשָּׂ֥א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.lift.up|Ref=GEN_32:21!19|MId=o010320210191|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:010320200191;A1:010320210201;|Type=yiqtol 31-32 פָנָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 פָנ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 30 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=GEN_32:21!20|MId=o010320210201|Strong=6440 32 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_32:21!20|MId=o010320210202|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=GEN_32:21!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
