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 — Pharaoh, I, none, thou — and what happens in the verse to dream, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף חֲל֣וֹם חָלַ֔מְתִּי וּפֹתֵ֖ר אֵ֣ין אֹת֑וֹ וַאֲנִ֗י שָׁמַ֤עְתִּי עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תִּשְׁמַ֥ע חֲל֖וֹם לִפְתֹּ֥ר אֹתֽוֹ׃ [And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it; and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1314/) ## 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:1210 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף חֲל֣וֹם חָלַ֔מְתִּי וּפֹתֵ֖ר אֵ֣ין אֹת֑וֹ וַאֲנִ֗י שָׁמַ֤עְתִּי עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תִּשְׁמַ֥ע חֲל֖וֹם לִפְתֹּ֥ר אֹתֽוֹ׃ # verse = GEN.41.15 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_41:15!1|MId=o010410150011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_41:15!1|MId=o010410150012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010410150021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 פַּרְעֹה֙ פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Pharaoh|Ref=GEN_41:15!2|MId=o010410150021|Strong=6547 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_41:15!3|MId=o010410150031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יוֹסֵ֔ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_41:15!4|MId=o010410150041|Strong=3130 6 חֲל֣וֹם חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=a.dream|Ref=GEN_41:15!5|MId=o010410150051|Strong=2472 7 חָלַ֔מְתִּי חָלַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.have.dreamed|Ref=GEN_41:15!6|MId=o010410150061|Strong=2492a|Frame=A0:010410150021;A1:010410150051;|Type=qatal 8-9 וּפֹתֵ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_41:15!7|MId=o010410150071|Strong=2050b 9 פֹתֵ֖ר פָּתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=[one.who].interprets|Ref=GEN_41:15!7|MId=o010410150072|Strong=6622|Frame=A1:010410150092;|Type=participle_active 10 אֵ֣ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 7 conj _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=GEN_41:15!8|MId=o010410150081|Strong=0369|Type=negative 11-12 אֹת֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_41:15!9|MId=o010410150091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_41:15!9|MId=o010410150092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וַאֲנִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_41:15!10|MId=o010410150101|Strong=2050b 14 אֲנִ֗י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_41:15!10|MId=o010410150102|Strong=0589|Type=personal 15 שָׁמַ֤עְתִּי שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 conj _ Gloss=I.have.heard|Ref=GEN_41:15!11|MId=o010410150111|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010410150102;|Type=qatal 16-17 עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עָלֶ֙י עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_41:15!12|MId=o010410150121|Strong=5921 17 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_41:15!12|MId=o010410150122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 20 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_41:15!13|MId=o010410150131|Strong=3807a 19 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_41:15!13|MId=o010410150132|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:;|Type=infinitive_construct 20 תִּשְׁמַ֥ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 15 advcl _ Gloss=you.hear|Ref=GEN_41:15!14|MId=o010410150141|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:010410150041;A1:010410150151;|Type=yiqtol 21 חֲל֖וֹם חֲלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=a.dream|Ref=GEN_41:15!15|MId=o010410150151|Strong=2472 22-23 לִפְתֹּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_41:15!16|MId=o010410150161|Strong=3807a 23 פְתֹּ֥ר פָּתַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 advcl _ Gloss=interpret|Ref=GEN_41:15!16|MId=o010410150162|Strong=6622|Frame=A0:010410150041;A1:010410150172;|Type=infinitive_construct 24-25 אֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_41:15!17|MId=o010410150171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 25 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_41:15!17|MId=o010410150172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=GEN_41:15!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | פַּרְעֹה *Pharaoh* | | | | | **not** חָלַמְתִּי *I have dreamed* | qatal · qal | פַּרְעֹה *Pharaoh* | חֲלוֹם *a dream* | | | | פֹתֵר *\[one who\] interprets* | participle active · qal | | וֹ *it* | | | | שָׁמַעְתִּי *I have heard* | qatal · qal | אֲנִי *I* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | תִּשְׁמַע *you hear* | yiqtol · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | חֲלוֹם *a dream* | | | | פְתֹּר *interpret* | infinitive construct · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | ֽוֹ *it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
