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 — we — and what happens in the verse to condition, male, 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. אַךְ־בְּזֹ֖את נֵא֣וֹת לָכֶ֑ם אִ֚ם תִּהְי֣וּ כָמֹ֔נוּ לְהִמֹּ֥ל לָכֶ֖ם כָּל־זָכָֽר׃ [Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1070/) ## 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:995 # text = אַךְ־בְּזֹ֖את נֵא֣וֹת לָכֶ֑ם אִ֚ם תִּהְי֣וּ כָמֹ֔נוּ לְהִמֹּ֥ל לָכֶ֖ם כָּל־זָכָֽר׃ # verse = GEN.34.15 1 אַךְ־ אַךְ ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=GEN_34:15!1|MId=o010340150011|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 בְּזֹ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_34:15!2|MId=o010340150021|Strong=0871a 3 זֹ֖את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 4 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_34:15!2|MId=o010340150022|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 4 נֵא֣וֹת אוּת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=we.will.agree|Ref=GEN_34:15!3|MId=o010340150031|Strong=0225|Frame=A0:010340130021;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 לָכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:15!4|MId=o010340150041|Strong=3807a 6 ָכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_34:15!4|MId=o010340150042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 7 אִ֚ם אִם SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_34:15!5|MId=o010340150051|Strong=0518 8 תִּהְי֣וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 cop _ Gloss=you.will.be|Ref=GEN_34:15!6|MId=o010340150061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010340130051;010340130071;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 כָמֹ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כָמֹ֔ כְּמוֹ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=GEN_34:15!7|MId=o010340150071|Strong=3644 10 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_34:15!7|MId=o010340150072|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 11-12 לְהִמֹּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=GEN_34:15!8|MId=o010340150081|Strong=3807a 12 הִמֹּ֥ל מוּל VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 4 parataxis _ Gloss=being.circumcised|Ref=GEN_34:15!8|MId=o010340150082|Strong=4135|Frame=A1:010340150111;|Type=infinitive_construct 13-14 לָכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:15!9|MId=o010340150091|Strong=3807a 14 ָכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_34:15!9|MId=o010340150092|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 15 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_34:15!10|MId=o010340150101|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 16 זָכָֽר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=male|Ref=GEN_34:15!11|MId=o010340150111|Strong=2145|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:15!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נֵאוֹת *we will agree* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | | תִּהְיוּ *you will be* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הִמֹּל *being circumcised* | infinitive construct · niphal | | זָכָֽר *male* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
