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 — sons, cattle, son — and what happens in the verse to field, men, vile deed, Israel, 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. וּבְנֵ֨י יַעֲקֹ֜ב בָּ֤אוּ מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה֙ כְּשָׁמְעָ֔ם וַיִּֽתְעַצְּבוּ֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וַיִּ֥חַר לָהֶ֖ם מְאֹ֑ד כִּֽי־נְבָלָ֞ה עָשָׂ֣ה בְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִשְׁכַּב֙ אֶת־בַּֽת־יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְכֵ֖ן לֹ֥א יֵעָשֶֽׂה׃ [And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought a vile deed in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1061/) ## 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:987 # text = וּבְנֵ֨י יַעֲקֹ֜ב בָּ֤אוּ מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה֙ כְּשָׁמְעָ֔ם וַיִּֽתְעַצְּבוּ֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וַיִּ֥חַר לָהֶ֖ם מְאֹ֑ד כִּֽי־נְבָלָ֞ה עָשָׂ֣ה בְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִשְׁכַּב֙ אֶת־בַּֽת־יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְכֵ֖ן לֹ֥א יֵעָשֶֽׂה׃ # verse = GEN.34.7 1-2 וּבְנֵ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:7!1|MId=o010340070011|Strong=2050b 2 בְנֵ֨י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=GEN_34:7!1|MId=o010340070012|Strong=1121 3 יַעֲקֹ֜ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_34:7!2|MId=o010340070021|Strong=3290 4 בָּ֤אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=GEN_34:7!3|MId=o010340070031|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010340070012;|Type=qatal 5 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_34:7!4|MId=o010340070041|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַשָּׂדֶה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:7!5|MId=o010340070051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 שָּׂדֶה֙ שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=field|Ref=GEN_34:7!5|MId=o010340070052|Strong=7704 8-10 כְּשָׁמְעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=GEN_34:7!6|MId=o010340070061|Strong=3509a 9 שָׁמְע שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=as|Ref=GEN_34:7!6|MId=o010340070062|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010340070063;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=they.heard|Ref=GEN_34:7!6|MId=o010340070063|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַיִּֽתְעַצְּבוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:7!7|MId=o010340070071|Strong=2050b 12 יִּֽתְעַצְּבוּ֙ עָצַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.were.indignant|Ref=GEN_34:7!7|MId=o010340070072|Strong=6087a|Frame=A0:010340070082;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_34:7!8|MId=o010340070081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=GEN_34:7!8|MId=o010340070082|Strong=0376 15-16 וַיִּ֥חַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:7!9|MId=o010340070091|Strong=2050b 16 יִּ֥חַר חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.burned|Ref=GEN_34:7!9|MId=o010340070092|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 לָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ל לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_34:7!10|MId=o010340070101|Strong=3807a 18 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_34:7!10|MId=o010340070102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=GEN_34:7!11|MId=o010340070111|Strong=3966 20 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_34:7!12|MId=o010340070121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 21 נְבָלָ֞ה נְבָלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=a.disgraceful.folly|Ref=GEN_34:7!13|MId=o010340070131|Strong=5039 22 עָשָׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 advcl _ Gloss=he.had.done|Ref=GEN_34:7!14|MId=o010340070141|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010340060041;A1:010340070131;|Type=qatal 23-24 בְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_34:7!15|MId=o010340070151|Strong=0871a 24 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=GEN_34:7!15|MId=o010340070152|Strong=3478 25-26 לִשְׁכַּב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=GEN_34:7!16|MId=o010340070161|Strong=3807a 26 שְׁכַּב֙ שָׁכַב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 22 advcl _ Gloss=lying|Ref=GEN_34:7!16|MId=o010340070162|Strong=7901|Frame=A0:010340060041;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_34:7!17|MId=o010340070171|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 28 בַּֽת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=GEN_34:7!18|MId=o010340070181|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 29 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_34:7!19|MId=o010340070191|Strong=3290 30-31 וְכֵ֖ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_34:7!20|MId=o010340070201|Strong=2050b 31 כֵ֖ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=GEN_34:7!20|MId=o010340070202|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 32 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 33 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_34:7!21|MId=o010340070211|Strong=3808|Type=negative 33 יֵעָשֶֽׂה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.is.done|Ref=GEN_34:7!22|MId=o010340070221|Strong=6213|Frame=A1:010340070162;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=GEN_34:7!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
