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, me, folk — and what happens in the verse to me, some, folk, favour, sight, lord, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר עֵשָׂ֔ו אַצִּֽיגָה־נָּ֣א עִמְּךָ֔ מִן־הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתִּ֑י וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לָ֣מָּה זֶּ֔ה אֶמְצָא־חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי׃ [And Esau said: 'Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me.' And he said: 'What needeth it? let me find favour in the sight of my lord.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1048/) ## 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:975 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר עֵשָׂ֔ו אַצִּֽיגָה־נָּ֣א עִמְּךָ֔ מִן־הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתִּ֑י וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לָ֣מָּה זֶּ֔ה אֶמְצָא־חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי׃ # verse = GEN.33.15 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_33:15!1|MId=o010330150011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_33:15!1|MId=o010330150012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010330150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עֵשָׂ֔ו עֵשָׂו PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Esau|Ref=GEN_33:15!2|MId=o010330150021|Strong=6215 4 אַצִּֽיגָה־ יָצַג VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.me.place|Ref=GEN_33:15!3|MId=o010330150031|Strong=3322|Frame=A0:010330150021;|Type=cohortative|SpaceAfter=No 5 נָּ֣א נָא INTJ _ _ 4 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_33:15!4|MId=o010330150041|Strong=4994|Type=interjection 6-7 עִמְּךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_33:15!5|MId=o010330150051|Strong=5973 7 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_33:15!5|MId=o010330150052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=GEN_33:15!6|MId=o010330150061|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_33:15!7|MId=o010330150071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=GEN_33:15!7|MId=o010330150072|Strong=5971 11 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_33:15!8|MId=o010330150081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12-13 אִתִּ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[is].with|Ref=GEN_33:15!9|MId=o010330150091|Strong=0854 13 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_33:15!9|MId=o010330150092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_33:15!10|MId=o010330150101|Strong=2050b 15 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_33:15!10|MId=o010330150102|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010330100021;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 לָ֣מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לָ֣ לָמָה ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_33:15!11|MId=o010330150111|Strong=3807a 17 מָּה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 15 ccomp _ Gloss=why?|Ref=GEN_33:15!11|MId=o010330150112|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 18 זֶּ֔ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 17 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_33:15!12|MId=o010330150121|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 19 אֶמְצָא־ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 17 parataxis _ Gloss=let.me.find|Ref=GEN_33:15!13|MId=o010330150131|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:010330100021;A1:010330150141;|Type=cohortative|SpaceAfter=No 20 חֵ֖ן חֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=favor|Ref=GEN_33:15!14|MId=o010330150141|Strong=2580 21-22 בְּעֵינֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_33:15!15|MId=o010330150151|Strong=0871a 22 עֵינֵ֥י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 19 obl _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=GEN_33:15!15|MId=o010330150152|Strong=5869 23-24 אֲדֹנִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.lord|Ref=GEN_33:15!16|MId=o010330150161|Strong=0113 24 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_33:15!16|MId=o010330150162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_33:15!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֵשָׂו *Esau* | | | | | אַצִּֽיגָה־ *let me place* | cohortative · hiphil | עֵשָׂו *Esau* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | אֶמְצָא־ *let me find* | cohortative · qal | | חֵן *favor* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
