Genesis 34:25 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN.34.25/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Genesis](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/) / [chapter 34](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/34/) / 34:25 # Genesis 34:25 בְּרֵאשִׁית **Who acts:** gate, men, two · **What happens:** come, pass, be, take, slay · **To what, where:** pain, man, city, males This is Genesis 34:25 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 — gate, men, two — and what happens in the verse to pain, man, city, males, 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. וַיְהִי֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י בִּֽהְיוֹתָ֣ם כֹּֽאֲבִ֗ים וַיִּקְח֣וּ שְׁנֵֽי־בְנֵי־יַ֠עֲקֹב שִׁמְע֨וֹן וְלֵוִ֜י אֲחֵ֤י דִינָה֙ אִ֣ישׁ חַרְבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ עַל־הָעִ֖יר בֶּ֑טַח וַיַּֽהַרְג֖וּ כָּל־זָכָֽר׃ [And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1081/) ## 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:1005 # text = וַיְהִי֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י בִּֽהְיוֹתָ֣ם כֹּֽאֲבִ֗ים וַיִּקְח֣וּ שְׁנֵֽי־בְנֵי־יַ֠עֲקֹב שִׁמְע֨וֹן וְלֵוִ֜י אֲחֵ֤י דִינָה֙ אִ֣ישׁ חַרְבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ עַל־הָעִ֖יר בֶּ֑טַח וַיַּֽהַרְג֖וּ כָּל־זָכָֽר׃ # verse = GEN.34.25 1-2 וַיְהִי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:25!1|MId=o010340250011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֩ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_34:25!1|MId=o010340250012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 בַיּ֨וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_34:25!2|MId=o010340250021|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:25!2|MId=o010340250021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 יּ֨וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=GEN_34:25!2|MId=o010340250022|Strong=3117 6-7 הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_34:25!3|MId=o010340250031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 שְּׁלִישִׁ֜י שְׁלִישִׁי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nummod _ Gloss=third|Ref=GEN_34:25!3|MId=o010340250032|Strong=7992|Type=ordinal_number 8-10 בִּֽהְיוֹתָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=GEN_34:25!4|MId=o010340250041|Strong=0871a 9 הְיוֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 cop _ Gloss=were|Ref=GEN_34:25!4|MId=o010340250042|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010340250043;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 ָ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=GEN_34:25!4|MId=o010340250043|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11 כֹּֽאֲבִ֗ים כָּאַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 advcl _ Gloss=in.pain|Ref=GEN_34:25!5|MId=o010340250051|Strong=3510|Frame=A0:010340250043;|Type=participle_active 12-13 וַיִּקְח֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:25!6|MId=o010340250061|Strong=2050b 13 יִּקְח֣וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.took|Ref=GEN_34:25!6|MId=o010340250062|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010340250081;A1:010340250151;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 שְׁנֵֽי־ שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 15 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=GEN_34:25!7|MId=o010340250071|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 15 בְנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=of.the.sons|Ref=GEN_34:25!8|MId=o010340250081|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 16 יַ֠עֲקֹב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_34:25!9|MId=o010340250091|Strong=3290 17 שִׁמְע֨וֹן שִׁמְעוֹן PROPN _ _ 15 appos _ Gloss=Simeon|Ref=GEN_34:25!10|MId=o010340250101|Strong=8095 18-19 וְלֵוִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:25!11|MId=o010340250111|Strong=2050b 19 לֵוִ֜י לֵוִי PROPN _ _ 17 conj _ Gloss=Levi|Ref=GEN_34:25!11|MId=o010340250112|Strong=3878 20 אֲחֵ֤י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=the.brothers|Ref=GEN_34:25!12|MId=o010340250121|Strong=0251 21 דִינָה֙ דִּינָה PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Dinah|Ref=GEN_34:25!13|MId=o010340250131|Strong=1783 22 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=GEN_34:25!14|MId=o010340250141|Strong=0376 23-24 חַרְבּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 חַרְבּ חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=sword|Ref=GEN_34:25!15|MId=o010340250151|Strong=2719 24 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_34:25!15|MId=o010340250152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25-26 וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:25!16|MId=o010340250161|Strong=2050b 26 יָּבֹ֥אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.went|Ref=GEN_34:25!16|MId=o010340250162|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010340250081;|Type=wayyiqtol 27 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_34:25!17|MId=o010340250171|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 28-29 הָעִ֖יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:25!18|MId=o010340250181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 עִ֖יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=city|Ref=GEN_34:25!18|MId=o010340250182|Strong=5892 30 בֶּ֑טַח בֶּטַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=security|Ref=GEN_34:25!19|MId=o010340250191|Strong=0983 31-32 וַיַּֽהַרְג֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:25!20|MId=o010340250201|Strong=2050b 32 יַּֽהַרְג֖וּ הָרַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.killed|Ref=GEN_34:25!20|MId=o010340250202|Strong=2026|Frame=A0:010340250081;A1:010340250221;|Type=wayyiqtol 33 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 obj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_34:25!21|MId=o010340250211|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 34 זָכָֽר זָכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=male|Ref=GEN_34:25!22|MId=o010340250221|Strong=2145|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:25!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
