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 — one, corn, money — and what happens in the verse to sack, ass provender, lodging place, money, mouth, 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. וַיִּפְתַּ֨ח הָאֶחָ֜ד אֶת־שַׂקּ֗וֹ לָתֵ֥ת מִסְפּ֛וֹא לַחֲמֹר֖וֹ בַּמָּל֑וֹן וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־כַּסְפּ֔וֹ וְהִנֵּה־ה֖וּא בְּפִ֥י אַמְתַּחְתּֽוֹ׃ [And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging-place, he espied his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1388/) ## 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:1279 # text = וַיִּפְתַּ֨ח הָאֶחָ֜ד אֶת־שַׂקּ֗וֹ לָתֵ֥ת מִסְפּ֛וֹא לַחֲמֹר֖וֹ בַּמָּל֑וֹן וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־כַּסְפּ֔וֹ וְהִנֵּה־ה֖וּא בְּפִ֥י אַמְתַּחְתּֽוֹ׃ # verse = GEN.42.27 1-2 וַיִּפְתַּ֨ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:27!1|MId=o010420270011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּפְתַּ֨ח פָּתַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.opened|Ref=GEN_42:27!1|MId=o010420270012|Strong=6605|Frame=A0:010420270022;A1:010420270041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הָאֶחָ֜ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_42:27!2|MId=o010420270021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אֶחָ֜ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=one|Ref=GEN_42:27!2|MId=o010420270022|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:27!3|MId=o010420270031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 שַׂקּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שַׂקּ שַׂק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=sack|Ref=GEN_42:27!4|MId=o010420270041|Strong=8242 7 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_42:27!4|MId=o010420270042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 לָתֵ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:27!5|MId=o010420270051|Strong=3807a 9 תֵ֥ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=give|Ref=GEN_42:27!5|MId=o010420270052|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010420270022;A1:010420270061;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 מִסְפּ֛וֹא מִסְפּוֹא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=fodder|Ref=GEN_42:27!6|MId=o010420270061|Strong=4554 11-13 לַחֲמֹר֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:27!7|MId=o010420270071|Strong=3807a 12 חֲמֹר חֲמוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=donkey|Ref=GEN_42:27!7|MId=o010420270072|Strong=2543 13 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_42:27!7|MId=o010420270073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-16 בַּמָּל֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_42:27!8|MId=o010420270081|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the.lodging|Ref=GEN_42:27!8|MId=o010420270081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מָּל֑וֹן מָלוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=GEN_42:27!8|MId=o010420270082|Strong=4411 17-18 וַיַּרְא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:27!9|MId=o010420270091|Strong=2050b 18 יַּרְא֙ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_42:27!9|MId=o010420270092|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010420270022;A1:010420270111;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:27!10|MId=o010420270101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 כַּסְפּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 כַּסְפּ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=GEN_42:27!11|MId=o010420270111|Strong=3701 21 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_42:27!11|MId=o010420270112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְהִנֵּה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:27!12|MId=o010420270121|Strong=2050b 23 הִנֵּה־ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 26 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_42:27!12|MId=o010420270122|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 24 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_42:27!13|MId=o010420270131|Strong=1931|Type=personal 25-26 בְּפִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=GEN_42:27!14|MId=o010420270141|Strong=0871a 26 פִ֥י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.mouth|Ref=GEN_42:27!14|MId=o010420270142|Strong=6310 27-28 אַמְתַּחְתּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 אַמְתַּחְתּ אַמְתַּחַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.sack|Ref=GEN_42:27!15|MId=o010420270151|Strong=0572 28 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_42:27!15|MId=o010420270152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=GEN_42:27!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּפְתַּח *he opened* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֶחָד *one* | שַׂקּ *sack* | | | | תֵת *give* | infinitive construct · qal | אֶחָד *one* | מִסְפּוֹא *fodder* | | | | יַּרְא *he saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֶחָד *one* | כַּסְפּ *silver* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
