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, that — and what happens in the verse to people, two camps, 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. וַיִּירָ֧א יַעֲקֹ֛ב מְאֹ֖ד וַיֵּ֣צֶר ל֑וֹ וַיַּ֜חַץ אֶת־הָעָ֣ם אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ֗וֹ וְאֶת־הַצֹּ֧אן וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֛ר וְהַגְּמַלִּ֖ים לִשְׁנֵ֥י מַחֲנֽוֹת׃ [(32-8) Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1006/) [And he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1007/) ## 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:935 # text = וַיִּירָ֧א יַעֲקֹ֛ב מְאֹ֖ד וַיֵּ֣צֶר ל֑וֹ וַיַּ֜חַץ אֶת־הָעָ֣ם אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ֗וֹ וְאֶת־הַצֹּ֧אן וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֛ר וְהַגְּמַלִּ֖ים לִשְׁנֵ֥י מַחֲנֽוֹת׃ # verse = GEN.32.8 1-2 וַיִּירָ֧א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:8!1|MId=o010320080011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּירָ֧א יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was.afraid|Ref=GEN_32:8!1|MId=o010320080012|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:010320080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יַעֲקֹ֛ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_32:8!2|MId=o010320080021|Strong=3290 4 מְאֹ֖ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=GEN_32:8!3|MId=o010320080031|Strong=3966 5-6 וַיֵּ֣צֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:8!4|MId=o010320080041|Strong=2050b 6 יֵּ֣צֶר צרר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.distress|Ref=GEN_32:8!4|MId=o010320080042|Strong=6887|Frame=A0:;|Type=wayyiqtol 7-8 ל֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ל לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_32:8!5|MId=o010320080051|Strong=3807a 8 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_32:8!5|MId=o010320080052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וַיַּ֜חַץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:8!6|MId=o010320080061|Strong=2050b 10 יַּ֜חַץ חָצָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.divided|Ref=GEN_32:8!6|MId=o010320080062|Strong=2673|Frame=A0:010320080021;A1:010320080082;010320080122;010320080142;010320080153;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_32:8!7|MId=o010320080071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_32:8!8|MId=o010320080081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=GEN_32:8!8|MId=o010320080082|Strong=5971 14 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_32:8!9|MId=o010320080091|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 אִתּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=[was].with|Ref=GEN_32:8!10|MId=o010320080101|Strong=0854 16 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_32:8!10|MId=o010320080102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:8!11|MId=o010320080111|Strong=2050b 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_32:8!11|MId=o010320080112|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19-20 הַצֹּ֧אן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_32:8!12|MId=o010320080121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 צֹּ֧אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=flock|Ref=GEN_32:8!12|MId=o010320080122|Strong=6629 21-22 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:8!13|MId=o010320080131|Strong=2050b 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_32:8!13|MId=o010320080132|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 23-24 הַבָּקָ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_32:8!14|MId=o010320080141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 בָּקָ֛ר בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=herd|Ref=GEN_32:8!14|MId=o010320080142|Strong=1241 25-27 וְהַגְּמַלִּ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_32:8!15|MId=o010320080151|Strong=2050b 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_32:8!15|MId=o010320080152|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 גְּמַלִּ֖ים גָּמָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=camels|Ref=GEN_32:8!15|MId=o010320080153|Strong=1581 28-29 לִשְׁנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=GEN_32:8!16|MId=o010320080161|Strong=3807a 29 שְׁנֵ֥י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 30 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=GEN_32:8!16|MId=o010320080162|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 30 מַחֲנֽוֹת מַחֲנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=camps|Ref=GEN_32:8!17|MId=o010320080171|Strong=4264|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_32:8!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּירָא *he was afraid* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | יֵּצֶר *it was distress* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יַּחַץ *he divided* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | עָם *people* + צֹּאן *flock* + בָּקָר *herd* + גְּמַלִּים *camels* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
