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 — wickedness, Joseph — and what happens in the verse to house, work, 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. וַיְהִי֙ כְּהַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה וַיָּבֹ֥א הַבַּ֖יְתָה לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת מְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֨ין אִ֜ישׁ מֵאַנְשֵׁ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת שָׁ֖ם בַּבָּֽיִת׃ [And it came to pass on a certain day, when he went into the house to do his work, and there was none of the men of the house there within,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1261/) ## 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:1160 # text = וַיְהִי֙ כְּהַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה וַיָּבֹ֥א הַבַּ֖יְתָה לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת מְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֨ין אִ֜ישׁ מֵאַנְשֵׁ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת שָׁ֖ם בַּבָּֽיִת׃ # verse = GEN.39.11 1-2 וַיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_39:11!1|MId=o010390110011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_39:11!1|MId=o010390110012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 כְּהַיּ֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=GEN_39:11!2|MId=o010390110021|Strong=3509a 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_39:11!2|MId=o010390110022|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 יּ֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=GEN_39:11!2|MId=o010390110023|Strong=3117 6-7 הַזֶּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_39:11!3|MId=o010390110031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 זֶּ֔ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 5 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_39:11!3|MId=o010390110032|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 8-9 וַיָּבֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_39:11!4|MId=o010390110041|Strong=2050b 9 יָּבֹ֥א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=GEN_39:11!4|MId=o010390110042|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010390100041;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-12 הַבַּ֖יְתָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_39:11!5|MId=o010390110051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 בַּ֖יְת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_39:11!5|MId=o010390110052|Strong=1004 12 ָה ה X _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=house|Ref=GEN_39:11!5|MId=o010390110053|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 13-14 לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_39:11!6|MId=o010390110061|Strong=3807a 14 עֲשׂ֣וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 advcl _ Gloss=do|Ref=GEN_39:11!6|MId=o010390110062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010390100041;A1:010390110071;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-16 מְלַאכְתּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מְלַאכְתּ מְלֶאכֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=work|Ref=GEN_39:11!7|MId=o010390110071|Strong=4399 16 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_39:11!7|MId=o010390110072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְאֵ֨ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_39:11!8|MId=o010390110081|Strong=2050b 18 אֵ֨ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=there.[was].not|Ref=GEN_39:11!8|MId=o010390110082|Strong=0369|Type=negative 19 אִ֜ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=GEN_39:11!9|MId=o010390110091|Strong=0376 20-21 מֵאַנְשֵׁ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_39:11!10|MId=o010390110101|Strong=4480 21 אַנְשֵׁ֥י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 nmod _ Gloss=the.men|Ref=GEN_39:11!10|MId=o010390110102|Strong=0376 22-23 הַבַּ֛יִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_39:11!11|MId=o010390110111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 בַּ֛יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=GEN_39:11!11|MId=o010390110112|Strong=1004 24 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_39:11!12|MId=o010390110121|Strong=8033 25-27 בַּבָּֽיִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_39:11!13|MId=o010390110131|Strong=0871a 26 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_39:11!13|MId=o010390110131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 בָּֽיִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=GEN_39:11!13|MId=o010390110132|Strong=1004 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_39:11!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹא *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal | | מְלַאכְתּ *work* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
