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 — Shechem — and what happens in the verse to Hamor, 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. וַיַּ֨רְא אֹתָ֜הּ שְׁכֶ֧ם בֶּן־חֲמ֛וֹר הַֽחִוִּ֖י נְשִׂ֣יא הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּקַּ֥ח אֹתָ֛הּ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אֹתָ֖הּ וַיְעַנֶּֽהָ׃ [And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1056/) ## 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:982 # text = וַיַּ֨רְא אֹתָ֜הּ שְׁכֶ֧ם בֶּן־חֲמ֛וֹר הַֽחִוִּ֖י נְשִׂ֣יא הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּקַּ֥ח אֹתָ֛הּ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אֹתָ֖הּ וַיְעַנֶּֽהָ׃ # verse = GEN.34.2 1-2 וַיַּ֨רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:2!1|MId=o010340020011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֨רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_34:2!1|MId=o010340020012|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:010340020022;A0:010340020031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֹתָ֜הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_34:2!2|MId=o010340020021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ָ֜הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_34:2!2|MId=o010340020022|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 5 שְׁכֶ֧ם שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Shechem|Ref=GEN_34:2!3|MId=o010340020031|Strong=7927 6 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=GEN_34:2!4|MId=o010340020041|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 7 חֲמ֛וֹר חֲמוֹר PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Hamor|Ref=GEN_34:2!5|MId=o010340020051|Strong=2544 8-9 הַֽחִוִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:2!6|MId=o010340020061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 חִוִּ֖י חִוִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=Hivite|Ref=GEN_34:2!6|MId=o010340020062|Strong=2340|Type=gentilic 10 נְשִׂ֣יא נָשִׂיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=the.chief|Ref=GEN_34:2!7|MId=o010340020071|Strong=5387 11-12 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_34:2!8|MId=o010340020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_34:2!8|MId=o010340020082|Strong=0776 13-14 וַיִּקַּ֥ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:2!9|MId=o010340020091|Strong=2050b 14 יִּקַּ֥ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=GEN_34:2!9|MId=o010340020092|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010340020031;A1:010340020102;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 אֹתָ֛הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_34:2!10|MId=o010340020101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ָ֛הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_34:2!10|MId=o010340020102|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 17-18 וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:2!11|MId=o010340020111|Strong=2050b 18 יִּשְׁכַּ֥ב שָׁכַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.lay|Ref=GEN_34:2!11|MId=o010340020112|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:010340020031;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 אֹתָ֖הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_34:2!12|MId=o010340020121|Strong=0854|Type=direct_object_marker 20 ָ֖הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=GEN_34:2!12|MId=o010340020122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21-23 וַיְעַנֶּֽהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:2!13|MId=o010340020131|Strong=2050b 22 יְעַנּ עָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_34:2!13|MId=o010340020132|Strong=6031|Frame=A0:010340020031;A1:010340020133;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 ֶֽהָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=humiliated.her|Ref=GEN_34:2!13|MId=o010340020133|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:2!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּרְא *he saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁכֶם *Shechem* | ָהּ *her* | | | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁכֶם *Shechem* | ָהּ *her* | | | | יִּשְׁכַּב *he lay* | wayyiqtol · qal | שְׁכֶם *Shechem* | | | | | יְעַנּ *he* | wayyiqtol · piel | שְׁכֶם *Shechem* | ֶֽהָ *humiliated her* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
