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, ye, servant, I — and what happens in the verse to messengers, 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. וַיְצַ֤ו אֹתָם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כֹּ֣ה תֹאמְר֔וּן לַֽאדֹנִ֖י לְעֵשָׂ֑ו כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ עַבְדְּךָ֣ יַעֲקֹ֔ב עִם־לָבָ֣ן גַּ֔רְתִּי וָאֵחַ֖ר עַד־עָֽתָּה׃ [(32-5) And he commanded them, saying: 'Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1003/) ## 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:932 # text = וַיְצַ֤ו אֹתָם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כֹּ֣ה תֹאמְר֔וּן לַֽאדֹנִ֖י לְעֵשָׂ֑ו כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ עַבְדְּךָ֣ יַעֲקֹ֔ב עִם־לָבָ֣ן גַּ֔רְתִּי וָאֵחַ֖ר עַד־עָֽתָּה׃ # verse = GEN.32.5 1-2 וַיְצַ֤ו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:5!1|MId=o010320050011|Strong=2050b 2 יְצַ֤ו צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.commanded|Ref=GEN_32:5!1|MId=o010320050012|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:010320040021;A1:010320050022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_32:5!2|MId=o010320050021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_32:5!2|MId=o010320050022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-6 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 8 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_32:5!3|MId=o010320050031|Strong=3807a 6 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_32:5!3|MId=o010320050032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010320040021;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 כֹּ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=GEN_32:5!4|MId=o010320050041|Strong=3541 8-9 תֹאמְר֔וּן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 תֹאמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_32:5!5|MId=o010320050051|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010320040031;|Type=yiqtol 9 ן נ X _ _ 8 nmod _ Gloss=will.say|Ref=GEN_32:5!5|MId=o010320050052|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 10-12 לַֽאדֹנִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_32:5!6|MId=o010320050061|Strong=3807a 11 אדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=lord|Ref=GEN_32:5!6|MId=o010320050062|Strong=0113 12 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_32:5!6|MId=o010320050063|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 13-14 לְעֵשָׂ֑ו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_32:5!7|MId=o010320050071|Strong=3807a 14 עֵשָׂ֑ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_32:5!7|MId=o010320050072|Strong=6215 15 כֹּ֤ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=GEN_32:5!8|MId=o010320050081|Strong=3541 16 אָמַר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 ccomp _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=GEN_32:5!9|MId=o010320050091|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010320050101;|Type=qatal 17-18 עַבְדְּךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=servant|Ref=GEN_32:5!10|MId=o010320050101|Strong=5650 18 ְךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_32:5!10|MId=o010320050102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 17 appos _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_32:5!11|MId=o010320050111|Strong=3290 20 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_32:5!12|MId=o010320050121|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 21 לָבָ֣ן לָבָן PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Laban|Ref=GEN_32:5!13|MId=o010320050131|Strong=3837 22 גַּ֔רְתִּי גּוּר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 16 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.sojourned|Ref=GEN_32:5!14|MId=o010320050141|Strong=1481|Frame=A0:010320050101;|Type=qatal 23-24 וָאֵחַ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:5!15|MId=o010320050151|Strong=2050b 24 אֵחַ֖ר אָחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.have.delayed|Ref=GEN_32:5!15|MId=o010320050152|Strong=0309|Frame=A0:010320050101;|Type=wayyiqtol 25 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=GEN_32:5!16|MId=o010320050161|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 26 עָֽתָּה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 24 obl _ Gloss=now|Ref=GEN_32:5!17|MId=o010320050171|Strong=6258|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=GEN_32:5!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - indirect: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְצַו *he commanded* | wayyiqtol · piel | | ָם *them* | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | תֹאמְרוּ *you* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | עַבְדּ *servant* | | | | | גַּרְתִּי *I have sojourned* | qatal · qal | עַבְדּ *servant* | | | | | אֵחַר *I have delayed* | wayyiqtol · qal | עַבְדּ *servant* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
