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 — son — and what happens in the verse to gate, 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. וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ אֶל־חֲמוֹר֙ וְאֶל־שְׁכֶ֣ם בְּנ֔וֹ כָּל־יֹצְאֵ֖י שַׁ֣עַר עִיר֑וֹ וַיִּמֹּ֙לוּ֙ כָּל־זָכָ֔ר כָּל־יֹצְאֵ֖י שַׁ֥עַר עִירֽוֹ׃ [And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1080/) ## 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:1004 # text = וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ אֶל־חֲמוֹר֙ וְאֶל־שְׁכֶ֣ם בְּנ֔וֹ כָּל־יֹצְאֵ֖י שַׁ֣עַר עִיר֑וֹ וַיִּמֹּ֙לוּ֙ כָּל־זָכָ֔ר כָּל־יֹצְאֵ֖י שַׁ֥עַר עִירֽוֹ׃ # verse = GEN.34.24 1-2 וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:24!1|MId=o010340240011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.listened|Ref=GEN_34:24!1|MId=o010340240012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010340240081;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:24!2|MId=o010340240021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4 חֲמוֹר֙ חֲמוֹר PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Hamor|Ref=GEN_34:24!3|MId=o010340240031|Strong=2544 5-6 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:24!4|MId=o010340240041|Strong=2050b 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:24!4|MId=o010340240042|Strong=0413 7 שְׁכֶ֣ם שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Shechem|Ref=GEN_34:24!5|MId=o010340240051|Strong=7927 8-9 בְּנ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=son|Ref=GEN_34:24!6|MId=o010340240061|Strong=1121 9 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_34:24!6|MId=o010340240062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_34:24!7|MId=o010340240071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 11 יֹצְאֵ֖י יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those.who].went.out|Ref=GEN_34:24!8|MId=o010340240081|Strong=3318|Type=participle_active 12 שַׁ֣עַר שַׁעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.gate|Ref=GEN_34:24!9|MId=o010340240091|Strong=8179 13-14 עִיר֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 עִיר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.city|Ref=GEN_34:24!10|MId=o010340240101|Strong=5892 14 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_34:24!10|MId=o010340240102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיִּמֹּ֙לוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:24!11|MId=o010340240111|Strong=2050b 16 יִּמֹּ֙לוּ֙ מוּל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.circumcised|Ref=GEN_34:24!11|MId=o010340240112|Strong=4135|Frame=A1:010340240131;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_34:24!12|MId=o010340240121|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 18 זָכָ֔ר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=male|Ref=GEN_34:24!13|MId=o010340240131|Strong=2145|Type=adjective 19 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 appos _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_34:24!14|MId=o010340240141|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 20 יֹצְאֵ֖י יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[those.who].went.out|Ref=GEN_34:24!15|MId=o010340240151|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:010340240131;|Type=participle_active 21 שַׁ֥עַר שַׁעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.gate|Ref=GEN_34:24!16|MId=o010340240161|Strong=8179 22-23 עִירֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 עִיר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.city|Ref=GEN_34:24!17|MId=o010340240171|Strong=5892 23 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_34:24!17|MId=o010340240172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:24!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמְעוּ *they listened* | wayyiqtol · qal | יֹצְאֵי *\[those who\] went out* | | | | | יִּמֹּלוּ *they were circumcised* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | זָכָר *male* | | | | יֹצְאֵי *\[those who\] went out* | participle active · qal | זָכָר *male* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
