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 — chief baker, interpretation, baker, I, three baskets, my — and what happens in the verse to dream, head, 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. וַיַּ֥רְא שַׂר־הָאֹפִ֖ים כִּ֣י ט֣וֹב פָּתָ֑ר וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף אַף־אֲנִי֙ בַּחֲלוֹמִ֔י וְהִנֵּ֗ה שְׁלֹשָׁ֛ה סַלֵּ֥י חֹרִ֖י עַל־רֹאשִֽׁי׃ [When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph: 'I also saw in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1289/) ## 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:1188 # text = וַיַּ֥רְא שַׂר־הָאֹפִ֖ים כִּ֣י ט֣וֹב פָּתָ֑ר וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף אַף־אֲנִי֙ בַּחֲלוֹמִ֔י וְהִנֵּ֗ה שְׁלֹשָׁ֛ה סַלֵּ֥י חֹרִ֖י עַל־רֹאשִֽׁי׃ # verse = GEN.40.16 1-2 וַיַּ֥רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_40:16!1|MId=o010400160011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֥רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_40:16!1|MId=o010400160012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010400160021;A1:010400160061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 שַׂר־ שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.chief|Ref=GEN_40:16!2|MId=o010400160021|Strong=8269|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָאֹפִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_40:16!3|MId=o010400160031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אֹפִ֖ים אָפָה ADJ _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.bakers|Ref=GEN_40:16!3|MId=o010400160032|Strong=0644a|Type=participle_active 6 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_40:16!4|MId=o010400160041|Strong=3588 7 ט֣וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 advmod _ Gloss=good|Ref=GEN_40:16!5|MId=o010400160051|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 8 פָּתָ֑ר פָּתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.had.interpreted|Ref=GEN_40:16!6|MId=o010400160061|Strong=6622|Frame=A0:010400120031;A1:010400090051;|Type=qatal 9-10 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_40:16!7|MId=o010400160071|Strong=2050b 10 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_40:16!7|MId=o010400160072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010400160021;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_40:16!8|MId=o010400160081|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 12 יוֹסֵ֔ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_40:16!9|MId=o010400160091|Strong=3130 13 אַף־ אַף ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=GEN_40:16!10|MId=o010400160101|Strong=0637|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 14 אֲנִי֙ אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_40:16!11|MId=o010400160111|Strong=0589|Type=personal 15-17 בַּחֲלוֹמִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_40:16!12|MId=o010400160121|Strong=0871a 16 חֲלוֹמ חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 ccomp _ Gloss=dream|Ref=GEN_40:16!12|MId=o010400160122|Strong=2472 17 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_40:16!12|MId=o010400160123|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְהִנֵּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_40:16!13|MId=o010400160131|Strong=2050b 19 הִנֵּ֗ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 24 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_40:16!13|MId=o010400160132|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 20 שְׁלֹשָׁ֛ה שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=GEN_40:16!14|MId=o010400160141|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 21 סַלֵּ֥י סַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 nsubj _ Gloss=baskets|Ref=GEN_40:16!15|MId=o010400160151|Strong=5536 22 חֹרִ֖י חֹרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.white.bread|Ref=GEN_40:16!16|MId=o010400160161|Strong=2751 23 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=[were].on|Ref=GEN_40:16!17|MId=o010400160171|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 רֹאשִֽׁי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=head|Ref=GEN_40:16!18|MId=o010400160181|Strong=7218 25 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_40:16!18|MId=o010400160182|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=GEN_40:16!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּרְא *he saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | שַׂר־ *the chief* | פָּתָר *he had interpreted* | | | | פָּתָר *he had interpreted* | qatal · qal | | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | שַׂר־ *the chief* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
