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 — LORD, Joseph — and what happens in the verse to prosperous man, house, 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. וַיְהִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֶת־יוֹסֵ֔ף וַיְהִ֖י אִ֣ישׁ מַצְלִ֑יחַ וַיְהִ֕י בְּבֵ֥ית אֲדֹנָ֖יו הַמִּצְרִֽי׃ [And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1249/) ## 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:1151 # text = וַיְהִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֶת־יוֹסֵ֔ף וַיְהִ֖י אִ֣ישׁ מַצְלִ֑יחַ וַיְהִ֕י בְּבֵ֥ית אֲדֹנָ֖יו הַמִּצְרִֽי׃ # verse = GEN.39.2 1-2 וַיְהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_39:2!1|MId=o010390020011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֤י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=GEN_39:2!1|MId=o010390020012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010390020021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_39:2!2|MId=o010390020021|Strong=3068 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_39:2!3|MId=o010390020031|Strong=0854|SpaceAfter=No 5 יוֹסֵ֔ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_39:2!4|MId=o010390020041|Strong=3130 6-7 וַיְהִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_39:2!5|MId=o010390020051|Strong=2050b 7 יְהִ֖י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 cop _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=GEN_39:2!5|MId=o010390020052|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010390020041;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=GEN_39:2!6|MId=o010390020061|Strong=0376 9 מַצְלִ֑יחַ צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 8 nmod _ Gloss=successful|Ref=GEN_39:2!7|MId=o010390020071|Strong=6743|Frame=A0:010390020061;|Type=participle_active 10-11 וַיְהִ֕י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_39:2!8|MId=o010390020081|Strong=2050b 11 יְהִ֕י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=GEN_39:2!8|MId=o010390020082|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010390020041;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 בְּבֵ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_39:2!9|MId=o010390020091|Strong=0871a 13 בֵ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=GEN_39:2!9|MId=o010390020092|Strong=1004 14-15 אֲדֹנָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֲדֹנָ֖י אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.master(s)|Ref=GEN_39:2!10|MId=o010390020101|Strong=0113 15 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_39:2!10|MId=o010390020102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-17 הַמִּצְרִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_39:2!11|MId=o010390020111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 מִּצְרִֽי מִצְרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=Egyptian|Ref=GEN_39:2!11|MId=o010390020112|Strong=4713|Type=gentilic 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=GEN_39:2!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְהִי *he was* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יְהִי *he was* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | | | מַצְלִיחַ *successful* | participle active · hiphil | אִישׁ *a man* | | | | | יְהִי *he was* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
