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 — seven lean favoured kine, seven empty ears, ears — and what happens in the verse to seven years, 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. וְשֶׁ֣בַע הַ֠פָּרוֹת הָֽרַקּ֨וֹת וְהָרָעֹ֜ת הָעֹלֹ֣ת אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ן שֶׁ֤בַע שָׁנִים֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְשֶׁ֤בַע הַֽשִׁבֳּלִים֙ הָרֵק֔וֹת שְׁדֻפ֖וֹת הַקָּדִ֑ים יִהְי֕וּ שֶׁ֖בַע שְׁנֵ֥י רָעָֽב׃ [And the seven lean and ill-favoured kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1328/) ## 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:1222 # text = וְשֶׁ֣בַע הַ֠פָּרוֹת הָֽרַקּ֨וֹת וְהָרָעֹ֜ת הָעֹלֹ֣ת אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ן שֶׁ֤בַע שָׁנִים֙ הֵ֔נָּה וְשֶׁ֤בַע הַֽשִׁבֳּלִים֙ הָרֵק֔וֹת שְׁדֻפ֖וֹת הַקָּדִ֑ים יִהְי֕וּ שֶׁ֖בַע שְׁנֵ֥י רָעָֽב׃ # verse = GEN.41.27 1-2 וְשֶׁ֣בַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_41:27!1|MId=o010410270011|Strong=2050b 2 שֶׁ֣בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=GEN_41:27!1|MId=o010410270012|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 3-4 הַ֠פָּרוֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ֠ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_41:27!2|MId=o010410270021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 פָּרוֹת פָּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 15 dislocated _ Gloss=cows|Ref=GEN_41:27!2|MId=o010410270022|Strong=6510 5-6 הָֽרַקּ֨וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_41:27!3|MId=o010410270031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 רַקּ֨וֹת רַק ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 amod _ Gloss=thin|Ref=GEN_41:27!3|MId=o010410270032|Strong=7534|Type=adjective 7-9 וְהָרָעֹ֜ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_41:27!4|MId=o010410270041|Strong=2050b 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_41:27!4|MId=o010410270042|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 רָעֹ֜ת רַע ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=displeasing|Ref=GEN_41:27!4|MId=o010410270043|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 10-11 הָעֹלֹ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=[which|Ref=GEN_41:27!5|MId=o010410270051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 עֹלֹ֣ת עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 4 appos _ Gloss=were].coming.up|Ref=GEN_41:27!5|MId=o010410270052|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:010410270022;|Type=participle_active 12-13 אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אַחֲרֵי אַחַר ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_41:27!6|MId=o010410270061|Strong=0310 13 הֶ֗ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_41:27!6|MId=o010410270062|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 14 שֶׁ֤בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nummod _ Gloss=[are].seven|Ref=GEN_41:27!7|MId=o010410270071|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 15 שָׁנִים֙ שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=years|Ref=GEN_41:27!8|MId=o010410270081|Strong=8141 16 הֵ֔נָּה הֵנָּה PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=GEN_41:27!9|MId=o010410270091|Strong=2007|Type=personal 17-18 וְשֶׁ֤בַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_41:27!10|MId=o010410270101|Strong=2050b 18 שֶׁ֤בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=GEN_41:27!10|MId=o010410270102|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 19-20 הַֽשִׁבֳּלִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the.ears|Ref=GEN_41:27!11|MId=o010410270111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 שִׁבֳּלִים֙ שִׁבֹּלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 28 nsubj _ Gloss=of.grain|Ref=GEN_41:27!11|MId=o010410270112|Strong=7641 21-22 הָרֵק֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_41:27!12|MId=o010410270121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 רֵק֔וֹת רֵיק ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 20 amod _ Gloss=empty|Ref=GEN_41:27!12|MId=o010410270122|Strong=7386|Type=adjective 23 שְׁדֻפ֖וֹת שָׁדַף VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 20 appos _ Gloss=(the).scorched|Ref=GEN_41:27!13|MId=o010410270131|Strong=7710|Frame=A1:010410270112;|Type=participle_passive 24-25 הַקָּדִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_41:27!14|MId=o010410270141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 קָּדִ֑ים קָדִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.east.wind|Ref=GEN_41:27!14|MId=o010410270142|Strong=6921 26 יִהְי֕וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 28 cop _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=GEN_41:27!15|MId=o010410270151|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010410270112;|Type=yiqtol 27 שֶׁ֖בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=GEN_41:27!16|MId=o010410270161|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 28 שְׁנֵ֥י שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 15 conj _ Gloss=years|Ref=GEN_41:27!17|MId=o010410270171|Strong=8141|Type=cardinal_number 29 רָעָֽב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.famine|Ref=GEN_41:27!18|MId=o010410270181|Strong=7458|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_41:27!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
