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 — Esau — and what happens in the verse to hollow, 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. וַיַּ֗רְא כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יָכֹל֙ ל֔וֹ וַיִּגַּ֖ע בְּכַף־יְרֵכ֑וֹ וַתֵּ֙קַע֙ כַּף־יֶ֣רֶךְ יַעֲקֹ֔ב בְּהֵֽאָבְק֖וֹ עִמּֽוֹ׃ [(32-26) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1025/) ## 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:953 # text = וַיַּ֗רְא כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יָכֹל֙ ל֔וֹ וַיִּגַּ֖ע בְּכַף־יְרֵכ֑וֹ וַתֵּ֙קַע֙ כַּף־יֶ֣רֶךְ יַעֲקֹ֔ב בְּהֵֽאָבְק֖וֹ עִמּֽוֹ׃ # verse = GEN.32.26 1-2 וַיַּ֗רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:26!1|MId=o010320260011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֗רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_32:26!1|MId=o010320260012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010320250051;A1:010320260041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_32:26!2|MId=o010320260021|Strong=3588 4 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_32:26!3|MId=o010320260031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 5 יָכֹל֙ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.prevailed|Ref=GEN_32:26!4|MId=o010320260041|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:010320250051;|Type=qatal 6-7 ל֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_32:26!5|MId=o010320260051|Strong=3807a 7 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_32:26!5|MId=o010320260052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וַיִּגַּ֖ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:26!6|MId=o010320260061|Strong=2050b 9 יִּגַּ֖ע נָגַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.touched|Ref=GEN_32:26!6|MId=o010320260062|Strong=5060|Frame=A0:010320250051;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 בְּכַף־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(in).the|Ref=GEN_32:26!7|MId=o010320260071|Strong=0871a 11 כַף־ כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=socket|Ref=GEN_32:26!7|MId=o010320260072|Strong=3709 12-13 יְרֵכ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 יְרֵכ יָרֵךְ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.thigh|Ref=GEN_32:26!8|MId=o010320260081|Strong=3409 13 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_32:26!8|MId=o010320260082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַתֵּ֙קַע֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:26!9|MId=o010320260091|Strong=2050b 15 תֵּ֙קַע֙ יָקַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.dislocated|Ref=GEN_32:26!9|MId=o010320260092|Strong=3363|Frame=A0:010320260101;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 כַּף־ כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=the.socket|Ref=GEN_32:26!10|MId=o010320260101|Strong=3709|SpaceAfter=No 17 יֶ֣רֶךְ יָרֵךְ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.thigh|Ref=GEN_32:26!11|MId=o010320260111|Strong=3409 18 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_32:26!12|MId=o010320260121|Strong=3290 19-21 בְּהֵֽאָבְק֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=GEN_32:26!13|MId=o010320260131|Strong=0871a 20 הֵֽאָבְק אָבַק VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=wrestled|Ref=GEN_32:26!13|MId=o010320260132|Strong=0079|Frame=A0:010320260133;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_32:26!13|MId=o010320260133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 עִמּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_32:26!14|MId=o010320260141|Strong=5973 23 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_32:26!14|MId=o010320260142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=GEN_32:26!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּרְא *he saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | | יָכֹל *he prevailed* | | | | **not** יָכֹל *he prevailed* | qatal · qal | | | | | | יִּגַּע *he touched* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | תֵּקַע *it was dislocated* | wayyiqtol · qal | כַּף־ *the socket* | | | | | הֵֽאָבְק *wrestled* | infinitive construct · niphal | וֹ *he* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
