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 — Jacob — and what happens in the verse to altar, place, God, face, 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. וַיִּ֤בֶן שָׁם֙ מִזְבֵּ֔חַ וַיִּקְרָא֙ לַמָּק֔וֹם אֵ֖ל בֵּֽית־אֵ֑לבֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל כִּ֣י שָׁ֗ם נִגְל֤וּ אֵלָיו֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים בְּבָרְח֖וֹ מִפְּנֵ֥י אָחִֽיו׃ [And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el, because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1094/) ## 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:1018 # text = וַיִּ֤בֶן שָׁם֙ מִזְבֵּ֔חַ וַיִּקְרָא֙ לַמָּק֔וֹם אֵ֖ל בֵּֽית־אֵ֑לבֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל כִּ֣י שָׁ֗ם נִגְל֤וּ אֵלָיו֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים בְּבָרְח֖וֹ מִפְּנֵ֥י אָחִֽיו׃ # verse = GEN.35.7 1-2 וַיִּ֤בֶן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_35:7!1|MId=o010350070011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּ֤בֶן בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.built|Ref=GEN_35:7!1|MId=o010350070012|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:010350060021;A1:010350070031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שָׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_35:7!2|MId=o010350070021|Strong=8033 4 מִזְבֵּ֔חַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=an.altar|Ref=GEN_35:7!3|MId=o010350070031|Strong=4196 5-6 וַיִּקְרָא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_35:7!4|MId=o010350070041|Strong=2050b 6 יִּקְרָא֙ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.called|Ref=GEN_35:7!4|MId=o010350070042|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:010350060021;A1:010350070061;|Type=wayyiqtol 7-9 לַמָּק֔וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=GEN_35:7!5|MId=o010350070051|Strong=3807a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_35:7!5|MId=o010350070051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מָּק֔וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=GEN_35:7!5|MId=o010350070052|Strong=4725 10 אֵ֖ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=El|Ref=GEN_35:7!6|MId=o010350070061|Strong=0410 11-12 בֵּֽית־אֵ֑לבֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל בֵּית־אֵל PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Bethel|Ref=GEN_35:7!7|MId=o010350070071 12 בֵּֽית־אֵ֑ל בֵּיתְאֵל PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Bethel|Ref=GEN_35:7!8|MId=o010350070081 13 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_35:7!9|MId=o010350070091|Strong=3588 14 שָׁ֗ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_35:7!10|MId=o010350070101|Strong=8033 15 נִגְל֤וּ גָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.had.revealed.themselves|Ref=GEN_35:7!11|MId=o010350070111|Strong=1540|Frame=A1:010350070122;|Type=qatal 16-17 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_35:7!12|MId=o010350070121|Strong=0413 17 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_35:7!12|MId=o010350070122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-19 הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_35:7!13|MId=o010350070131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_35:7!13|MId=o010350070132|Strong=0430 20-22 בְּבָרְח֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=GEN_35:7!14|MId=o010350070141|Strong=0871a 21 בָרְח בָּרַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=fled|Ref=GEN_35:7!14|MId=o010350070142|Strong=1272|Frame=A0:010350070133;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_35:7!14|MId=o010350070143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-24 מִפְּנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_35:7!15|MId=o010350070151|Strong=4480 24 פְּנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_35:7!15|MId=o010350070152|Strong=6440 25-26 אָחִֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 אָחִֽי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_35:7!16|MId=o010350070161|Strong=0251 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_35:7!16|MId=o010350070162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=GEN_35:7!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּבֶן *he built* | wayyiqtol · qal | | מִזְבֵּחַ *an altar* | | | | יִּקְרָא *he called* | wayyiqtol · qal | | אֵל *El* | | | | נִגְלוּ *they had revealed themselves* | qatal · niphal | | ו *him* | | | | בָרְח *fled* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
