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 flocks, city, field, 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. אֶת־צֹאנָ֥ם וְאֶת־בְּקָרָ֖ם וְאֶת־חֲמֹרֵיהֶּ֑םוְאֵ֧ת אֲשֶׁר־בָּעִ֛יר וְאֶת־אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֖ה לָקָֽחוּ׃ [They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1084/) ## 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:1008 # text = אֶת־צֹאנָ֥ם וְאֶת־בְּקָרָ֖ם וְאֶת־חֲמֹרֵיהֶּ֑םוְאֵ֧ת אֲשֶׁר־בָּעִ֛יר וְאֶת־אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֖ה לָקָֽחוּ׃ # verse = GEN.34.28 1 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_34:28!1|MId=o010340280011|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 צֹאנָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 צֹאנ צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=flock[s]|Ref=GEN_34:28!2|MId=o010340280021|Strong=6629 3 ָ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_34:28!2|MId=o010340280022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 4-5 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:28!3|MId=o010340280031|Strong=2050b 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_34:28!3|MId=o010340280032|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 6-7 בְּקָרָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּקָר בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=herd[s]|Ref=GEN_34:28!4|MId=o010340280041|Strong=1241 7 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_34:28!4|MId=o010340280042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:28!5|MId=o010340280051|Strong=2050b 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_34:28!5|MId=o010340280052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10-13 חֲמֹרֵיהֶּ֑םוְאֵ֧ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 חֲמֹרֵי חֲמוֹר NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=donkeys|Ref=GEN_34:28!6|MId=o010340280061|Strong=2543 11 הֶּ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_34:28!6|MId=o010340280062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:28!7|MId=o010340280071|Strong=2050b 13 אֵ֧ת אֵת ADP _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_34:28!7|MId=o010340280072|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=[that].which|Ref=GEN_34:28!8|MId=o010340280081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15-17 בָּעִ֛יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=GEN_34:28!9|MId=o010340280091|Strong=0871a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:28!9|MId=o010340280091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 עִ֛יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=city|Ref=GEN_34:28!9|MId=o010340280092|Strong=5892 18-19 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:28!10|MId=o010340280101|Strong=2050b 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_34:28!10|MId=o010340280102|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 20 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=[that].which|Ref=GEN_34:28!11|MId=o010340280111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 21-23 בַּשָּׂדֶ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=GEN_34:28!12|MId=o010340280121|Strong=0871a 22 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:28!12|MId=o010340280121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שָּׂדֶ֖ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=field|Ref=GEN_34:28!12|MId=o010340280122|Strong=7704 24 לָקָֽחוּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.took|Ref=GEN_34:28!13|MId=o010340280131|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010340270011;A1:010340280021;010340280041;010340280061;010340280093;010340280123;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:28!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לָקָֽחוּ *they took* | qatal · qal | | צֹאנ *flock\[s\]* + בְּקָר *herd\[s\]* + חֲמֹרֵי *donkeys* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
