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 — keeper, thing, LORD, prison — and what happens in the verse to hand, prison, 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. אֵ֣ין ׀ שַׂ֣ר בֵּית־הַסֹּ֗הַר רֹאֶ֤ה אֶֽת־כָּל־מְא֙וּמָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אִתּ֑וֹ וַֽאֲשֶׁר־ה֥וּא עֹשֶׂ֖ה יְהוָ֥ה מַצְלִֽיחַ׃ס [The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, because the LORD was with him; and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1273/) ## 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:1172 # text = אֵ֣ין ׀ שַׂ֣ר בֵּית־הַסֹּ֗הַר רֹאֶ֤ה אֶֽת־כָּל־מְא֙וּמָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אִתּ֑וֹ וַֽאֲשֶׁר־ה֥וּא עֹשֶׂ֖ה יְהוָ֥ה מַצְלִֽיחַ׃ס # verse = GEN.39.23 1 אֵ֣ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_39:23!1|MId=o010390230011|Strong=0369|Type=negative 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=GEN_39:23!1 3 שַׂ֣ר שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the.commander|Ref=GEN_39:23!2|MId=o010390230021|Strong=8269 4 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.house|Ref=GEN_39:23!3|MId=o010390230031|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַסֹּ֗הַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_39:23!4|MId=o010390230041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 סֹּ֗הַר סֹהַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.prison|Ref=GEN_39:23!4|MId=o010390230042|Strong=5470 7 רֹאֶ֤ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].seeing|Ref=GEN_39:23!5|MId=o010390230051|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010390230021;A1:010390230081;|Type=participle_active 8 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_39:23!6|MId=o010390230061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_39:23!7|MId=o010390230071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 10 מְא֙וּמָה֙ מְאוּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=anything|Ref=GEN_39:23!8|MId=o010390230081|Strong=3972 11-13 בְּיָד֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_39:23!9|MId=o010390230091|Strong=0871a 12 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nmod _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_39:23!9|MId=o010390230092|Strong=3027 13 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_39:23!9|MId=o010390230093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 parataxis _ Gloss=because|Ref=GEN_39:23!10|MId=o010390230101|Strong=0871a 15 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_39:23!10|MId=o010390230102|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 18 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_39:23!11|MId=o010390230111|Strong=3068 17-18 אִתּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=[was].with|Ref=GEN_39:23!12|MId=o010390230121|Strong=0854 18 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 parataxis _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_39:23!12|MId=o010390230122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 וַֽאֲשֶׁר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and.[that]|Ref=GEN_39:23!13|MId=o010390230131|Strong=2050b 20 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_39:23!13|MId=o010390230132|Strong=0834|Type=relative 21 ה֥וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_39:23!14|MId=o010390230141|Strong=1931|Type=personal 22 עֹשֶׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=[was].doing|Ref=GEN_39:23!15|MId=o010390230151|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010390230141;|Type=participle_active 23 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=GEN_39:23!16|MId=o010390230161|Strong=3068 24 מַצְלִֽיחַ צָלֵחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=[was].making.successful|Ref=GEN_39:23!17|MId=o010390230171|Strong=6743|Frame=A0:010390230151;AA:010390230161;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_39:23!17|SpaceAfter=No 26 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_39:23!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** רֹאֶה *\[was\] seeing* | participle active · qal | שַׂר *the commander* | מְאוּמָה *anything* | | | | עֹשֶׂה *\[was\] doing* | participle active · qal | הוּא *he* | | | | | מַצְלִֽיחַ *\[was\] making successful* | participle active · hiphil | עֹשֶׂה *\[was\] doing* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
