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 — substance, sons, land — and what happens in the verse to sons, 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. כִּֽי־הָיָ֧ה רְכוּשָׁ֛ם רָ֖ב מִשֶּׁ֣בֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו וְלֹ֨א יָֽכְלָ֜ה אֶ֤רֶץ מְגֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ לָשֵׂ֣את אֹתָ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י מִקְנֵיהֶֽם׃ [For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1127/) ## 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:1047 # text = כִּֽי־הָיָ֧ה רְכוּשָׁ֛ם רָ֖ב מִשֶּׁ֣בֶת יַחְדָּ֑ו וְלֹ֨א יָֽכְלָ֜ה אֶ֤רֶץ מְגֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ לָשֵׂ֣את אֹתָ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י מִקְנֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = GEN.36.7 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_36:7!1|MId=o010360070011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 הָיָ֧ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_36:7!2|MId=o010360070021|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010360070031;|Type=qatal 3-4 רְכוּשָׁ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 רְכוּשׁ רְכוּשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=possession[s]|Ref=GEN_36:7!3|MId=o010360070031|Strong=7399 4 ָ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_36:7!3|MId=o010360070032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 רָ֖ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 advmod _ Gloss=[too].much|Ref=GEN_36:7!4|MId=o010360070041|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 6-7 מִשֶּׁ֣בֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_36:7!5|MId=o010360070051|Strong=4480 7 שֶּׁ֣בֶת יָשַׁב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 0 root _ Gloss=dwelling|Ref=GEN_36:7!5|MId=o010360070052|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010360060021;010360060291;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 יַחְדָּ֑ו יָחְדָּו ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=together|Ref=GEN_36:7!6|MId=o010360070061|Strong=3162a 9-10 וְלֹ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_36:7!7|MId=o010360070071|Strong=2050b 10 לֹ֨א לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_36:7!7|MId=o010360070072|Strong=3808|Type=negative 11 יָֽכְלָ֜ה יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=it.was.able|Ref=GEN_36:7!8|MId=o010360070081|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:010360070091;|Type=qatal 12 אֶ֤רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_36:7!9|MId=o010360070091|Strong=0776 13-14 מְגֽוּרֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מְגֽוּרֵי מְגוּרִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.sojournings|Ref=GEN_36:7!10|MId=o010360070101|Strong=4033 14 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_36:7!10|MId=o010360070102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-16 לָשֵׂ֣את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_36:7!11|MId=o010360070111|Strong=3807a 16 שֵׂ֣את נָשָׂא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 xcomp _ Gloss=support|Ref=GEN_36:7!11|MId=o010360070112|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:010360070091;A1:010360070122;|Type=infinitive_construct 17-18 אֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_36:7!12|MId=o010360070121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_36:7!12|MId=o010360070122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-20 מִפְּנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=because|Ref=GEN_36:7!13|MId=o010360070131|Strong=4480 20 פְּנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_36:7!13|MId=o010360070132|Strong=6440 21-22 מִקְנֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִקְנֵי מִקְנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=livestock|Ref=GEN_36:7!14|MId=o010360070141|Strong=4735 22 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_36:7!14|MId=o010360070142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_36:7!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it was* | qatal · qal | רְכוּשׁ *possession\[s\]* | | | | | שֶּׁבֶת *dwelling* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | **not** יָֽכְלָה *it was able* | qatal · qal | אֶרֶץ *the land* | | | | | שֵׂאת *support* | infinitive construct · qal | אֶרֶץ *the land* | ָם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
