# Genesis 33:5 בְּרֵאשִׁית

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Esau, God · **What happens:** lift up, see, say, be, give · **To what, where:** eyes, women, servant, children · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Genesis 33:5 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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, God — and what happens in the verse to eyes, women, servant, children, 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.

[And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said: 'Who are these with thee?' And he said: 'The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1038/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
