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 — Joseph, I, sun — and what happens in the verse to dream, brethren, me, 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. וַיַּחֲלֹ֥ם עוֹד֙ חֲל֣וֹם אַחֵ֔ר וַיְסַפֵּ֥ר אֹת֖וֹ לְאֶחָ֑יו וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הִנֵּ֨ה חָלַ֤מְתִּֽי חֲלוֹם֙ ע֔וֹד וְהִנֵּ֧ה הַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ וְהַיָּרֵ֗חַ וְאַחַ֤ד עָשָׂר֙ כּֽוֹכָבִ֔ים מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִ֖ים לִֽי׃ [And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said: 'Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream: and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1184/) ## 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:1092 # text = וַיַּחֲלֹ֥ם עוֹד֙ חֲל֣וֹם אַחֵ֔ר וַיְסַפֵּ֥ר אֹת֖וֹ לְאֶחָ֑יו וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הִנֵּ֨ה חָלַ֤מְתִּֽי חֲלוֹם֙ ע֔וֹד וְהִנֵּ֧ה הַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ וְהַיָּרֵ֗חַ וְאַחַ֤ד עָשָׂר֙ כּֽוֹכָבִ֔ים מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִ֖ים לִֽי׃ # verse = GEN.37.9 1-2 וַיַּחֲלֹ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:9!1|MId=o010370090011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּחֲלֹ֥ם חָלַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.dreamed|Ref=GEN_37:9!1|MId=o010370090012|Strong=2492a|Frame=A0:010370050021;A1:010370090031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עוֹד֙ עוֹד ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=GEN_37:9!2|MId=o010370090021|Strong=5750 4 חֲל֣וֹם חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.dream|Ref=GEN_37:9!3|MId=o010370090031|Strong=2472 5 אַחֵ֔ר אַחֵר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 amod _ Gloss=another|Ref=GEN_37:9!4|MId=o010370090041|Strong=0312|Type=adjective 6-7 וַיְסַפֵּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:9!5|MId=o010370090051|Strong=2050b 7 יְסַפֵּ֥ר סָפַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.recounted|Ref=GEN_37:9!5|MId=o010370090052|Strong=5608|Frame=A0:010370050021;A1:010370090062;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 אֹת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_37:9!6|MId=o010370090061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_37:9!6|MId=o010370090062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-12 לְאֶחָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_37:9!7|MId=o010370090071|Strong=3807a 11 אֶחָ֑י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 obl _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_37:9!7|MId=o010370090072|Strong=0251 12 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_37:9!7|MId=o010370090073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:9!8|MId=o010370090081|Strong=2050b 14 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_37:9!8|MId=o010370090082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010370050021;|Type=wayyiqtol 15 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 16 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=GEN_37:9!9|MId=o010370090091|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 16 חָלַ֤מְתִּֽי חָלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 14 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.dreamed|Ref=GEN_37:9!10|MId=o010370090101|Strong=2492a|Frame=A0:010370050021;A1:010370090111;|Type=qatal 17 חֲלוֹם֙ חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=a.dream|Ref=GEN_37:9!11|MId=o010370090111|Strong=2472 18 ע֔וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=again|Ref=GEN_37:9!12|MId=o010370090121|Strong=5750 19-20 וְהִנֵּ֧ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:9!13|MId=o010370090131|Strong=2050b 20 הִנֵּ֧ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 30 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_37:9!13|MId=o010370090132|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 21-22 הַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_37:9!14|MId=o010370090141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 שֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ שֶׁמֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 30 nsubj _ Gloss=sun|Ref=GEN_37:9!14|MId=o010370090142|Strong=8121 23-25 וְהַיָּרֵ֗חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:9!15|MId=o010370090151|Strong=2050b 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_37:9!15|MId=o010370090152|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 יָּרֵ֗חַ יָרֵחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=moon|Ref=GEN_37:9!15|MId=o010370090153|Strong=3394 26-27 וְאַחַ֤ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_37:9!16|MId=o010370090161|Strong=2050b 27 אַחַ֤ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 nummod _ Gloss=one.plus|Ref=GEN_37:9!16|MId=o010370090162|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 28 עָשָׂר֙ עָשָׂר NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 flat _ Gloss=ten|Ref=GEN_37:9!17|MId=o010370090171|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 29 כּֽוֹכָבִ֔ים כּוֹכָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 conj _ Gloss=stars|Ref=GEN_37:9!18|MId=o010370090181|Strong=3556 30 מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִ֖ים חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=[were].bowing.down|Ref=GEN_37:9!19|MId=o010370090191|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:010370090142;010370090153;010370090181;|Type=participle_active 31-32 לִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 ל לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_37:9!20|MId=o010370090201|Strong=3807a 32 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 30 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_37:9!20|MId=o010370090202|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=GEN_37:9!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
