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 — men — and what happens in the verse to condition, one people, male, men, 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־בְּ֠זֹאת יֵאֹ֨תוּ לָ֤נוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים֙ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אִתָּ֔נוּ לִהְי֖וֹת לְעַ֣ם אֶחָ֑ד בְּהִמּ֥וֹל לָ֙נוּ֙ כָּל־זָכָ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר הֵ֥ם נִמֹּלִֽים׃ [Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1078/) ## 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:1002 # text = אַךְ־בְּ֠זֹאת יֵאֹ֨תוּ לָ֤נוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים֙ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אִתָּ֔נוּ לִהְי֖וֹת לְעַ֣ם אֶחָ֑ד בְּהִמּ֥וֹל לָ֙נוּ֙ כָּל־זָכָ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר הֵ֥ם נִמֹּלִֽים׃ # verse = GEN.34.22 1 אַךְ־ אַךְ ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=GEN_34:22!1|MId=o010340220011|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 בְּ֠זֹאת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 בְּ֠ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_34:22!2|MId=o010340220021|Strong=0871a 3 זֹאת זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 4 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_34:22!2|MId=o010340220022|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 4 יֵאֹ֨תוּ אוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.agree|Ref=GEN_34:22!3|MId=o010340220031|Strong=0225|Frame=A0:010340220052;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 לָ֤נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:22!4|MId=o010340220041|Strong=3807a 6 ָ֤נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_34:22!4|MId=o010340220042|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 7-8 הָאֲנָשִׁים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:22!5|MId=o010340220051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אֲנָשִׁים֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=GEN_34:22!5|MId=o010340220052|Strong=0376 9-10 לָשֶׁ֣בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:22!6|MId=o010340220061|Strong=3807a 10 שֶׁ֣בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=dwell|Ref=GEN_34:22!6|MId=o010340220062|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010340220052;|Type=infinitive_construct 11-12 אִתָּ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_34:22!7|MId=o010340220071|Strong=0854 12 ָ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_34:22!7|MId=o010340220072|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13-14 לִהְי֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:22!8|MId=o010340220081|Strong=3807a 14 הְי֖וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=GEN_34:22!8|MId=o010340220082|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010340220052;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 לְעַ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=GEN_34:22!9|MId=o010340220091|Strong=3807a 16 עַ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=GEN_34:22!9|MId=o010340220092|Strong=5971 17 אֶחָ֑ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=GEN_34:22!10|MId=o010340220101|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 18-19 בְּהִמּ֥וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=GEN_34:22!11|MId=o010340220111|Strong=0871a 19 הִמּ֥וֹל מוּל VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=has.been.circumcised|Ref=GEN_34:22!11|MId=o010340220112|Strong=4135|Frame=A1:010340220141;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 לָ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:22!12|MId=o010340220121|Strong=3807a 21 ָ֙נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_34:22!12|MId=o010340220122|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 22 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_34:22!13|MId=o010340220131|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 23 זָכָ֔ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=male|Ref=GEN_34:22!14|MId=o010340220141|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 24-25 כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=GEN_34:22!15|MId=o010340220151|Strong=3509a 25 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=GEN_34:22!15|MId=o010340220152|Strong=0834|Type=relative 26 הֵ֥ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=GEN_34:22!16|MId=o010340220161|Strong=1992|Type=personal 27 נִמֹּלִֽים מוּל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 24 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].circumcised|Ref=GEN_34:22!17|MId=o010340220171|Strong=4135|Frame=A1:010340220161;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:22!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵאֹתוּ *they will agree* | yiqtol · niphal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | שֶׁבֶת *dwell* | infinitive construct · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | הְיוֹת *become* | infinitive construct · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | | הִמּוֹל *has been circumcised* | infinitive construct · niphal | | זָכָר *male* | | | | נִמֹּלִֽים *\[are\] circumcised* | participle active · niphal | | הֵם *they* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
