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 — Israel, brethren, I, Joseph, I. — and what happens in the verse to flock, Shechem, thee, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶל־יוֹסֵ֗ף הֲל֤וֹא אַחֶ֙יךָ֙ רֹעִ֣ים בִּשְׁכֶ֔ם לְכָ֖ה וְאֶשְׁלָחֲךָ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֖וֹ הִנֵּֽנִי׃ [And Israel said unto Joseph: 'Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:1096 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶל־יוֹסֵ֗ף הֲל֤וֹא אַחֶ֙יךָ֙ רֹעִ֣ים בִּשְׁכֶ֔ם לְכָ֖ה וְאֶשְׁלָחֲךָ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֖וֹ הִנֵּֽנִי׃ # verse = GEN.37.13 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:13!1|MId=o010370130011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_37:13!1|MId=o010370130012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010370130021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=GEN_37:13!2|MId=o010370130021|Strong=3478 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_37:13!3|MId=o010370130031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יוֹסֵ֗ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_37:13!4|MId=o010370130041|Strong=3130 6-7 הֲל֤וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=GEN_37:13!5|MId=o010370130051|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 7 ל֤וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_37:13!5|MId=o010370130052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 8-9 אַחֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אַחֶ֙י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_37:13!6|MId=o010370130061|Strong=0251 9 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].your|Ref=GEN_37:13!6|MId=o010370130062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10 רֹעִ֣ים רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 ccomp _ Gloss=pasturing|Ref=GEN_37:13!7|MId=o010370130071|Strong=7462|Frame=A0:010370130061;A1:010370120051;|Type=participle_active 11-12 בִּשְׁכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_37:13!8|MId=o010370130081|Strong=0871a 12 שְׁכֶ֔ם שְׁכֶם PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Shechem|Ref=GEN_37:13!8|MId=o010370130082|Strong=7927a 13-14 לְכָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְכ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 parataxis _ Gloss=come|Ref=GEN_37:13!9|MId=o010370130091|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010370130041;|Type=imperative 14 ָ֖ה ה X _ _ 13 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_37:13!9|MId=o010370130092|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 15-17 וְאֶשְׁלָחֲךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:13!10|MId=o010370130101|Strong=2050b 16 אֶשְׁלָח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 13 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_37:13!10|MId=o010370130102|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:010370130021;A1:010370130103;|Type=yiqtol 17 ֲךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=will.send.you|Ref=GEN_37:13!10|MId=o010370130103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_37:13!11|MId=o010370130111|Strong=0413 19 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_37:13!11|MId=o010370130112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וַיֹּ֥אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:13!12|MId=o010370130121|Strong=2050b 21 יֹּ֥אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_37:13!12|MId=o010370130122|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010370130041;|Type=wayyiqtol 22-23 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_37:13!13|MId=o010370130131|Strong=3807a 23 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_37:13!13|MId=o010370130132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24-25 הִנֵּֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הִנּ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 21 ccomp _ Gloss=here|Ref=GEN_37:13!14|MId=o010370130141|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 25 ֵֽנִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=I.[am]|Ref=GEN_37:13!14|MId=o010370130142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=GEN_37:13!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | | **not** רֹעִים *pasturing* | participle active · qal | אַחֶי *brothers* | | | | | לְכ *come* | imperative · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | | | אֶשְׁלָח *I* | yiqtol · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | ֲךָ *will send you* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
