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 — corn, money, heart, words, God — and what happens in the verse to money, sack, words, one, 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 אֶל־אֶחָיו֙ הוּשַׁ֣ב כַּסְפִּ֔י וְגַ֖ם הִנֵּ֣ה בְאַמְתַּחְתִּ֑י וַיֵּצֵ֣א לִבָּ֗ם וַיֶּֽחֶרְד֞וּ אִ֤ישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מַה־זֹּ֛את עָשָׂ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים לָֽנוּ׃ [And he said unto his brethren: 'My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack.' And their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying: 'What is this that God hath done unto us?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1389/) ## 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:1280 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֶל־אֶחָיו֙ הוּשַׁ֣ב כַּסְפִּ֔י וְגַ֖ם הִנֵּ֣ה בְאַמְתַּחְתִּ֑י וַיֵּצֵ֣א לִבָּ֗ם וַיֶּֽחֶרְד֞וּ אִ֤ישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מַה־זֹּ֛את עָשָׂ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים לָֽנוּ׃ # verse = GEN.42.28 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:28!1|MId=o010420280011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_42:28!1|MId=o010420280012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010420270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:28!2|MId=o010420280021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 אֶחָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֶחָי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_42:28!3|MId=o010420280031|Strong=0251 5 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_42:28!3|MId=o010420280032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 הוּשַׁ֣ב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.has.been.returned|Ref=GEN_42:28!4|MId=o010420280041|Strong=7725|Frame=A1:010420280051;|Type=qatal 7-8 כַּסְפִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 כַּסְפּ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=GEN_42:28!5|MId=o010420280051|Strong=3701 8 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_42:28!5|MId=o010420280052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְגַ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:28!6|MId=o010420280061|Strong=2050b 10 גַ֖ם גַּם ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=GEN_42:28!6|MId=o010420280062|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 11 הִנֵּ֣ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 13 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=GEN_42:28!7|MId=o010420280071|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 12-14 בְאַמְתַּחְתִּ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_42:28!8|MId=o010420280081|Strong=0871a 13 אַמְתַּחְתּ אַמְתַּחַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=sack|Ref=GEN_42:28!8|MId=o010420280082|Strong=0572 14 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_42:28!8|MId=o010420280083|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיֵּצֵ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:28!9|MId=o010420280091|Strong=2050b 16 יֵּצֵ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.went.out|Ref=GEN_42:28!9|MId=o010420280092|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:010420280101;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 לִבָּ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=GEN_42:28!10|MId=o010420280101|Strong=3820 18 ָ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_42:28!10|MId=o010420280102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וַיֶּֽחֶרְד֞וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:28!11|MId=o010420280111|Strong=2050b 20 יֶּֽחֶרְד֞וּ חָרַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.trembled|Ref=GEN_42:28!11|MId=o010420280112|Strong=2729|Frame=A0:010420080041;|Type=wayyiqtol 21 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=GEN_42:28!12|MId=o010420280121|Strong=0376 22 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:28!13|MId=o010420280131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 אָחִיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אָחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nmod _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_42:28!14|MId=o010420280141|Strong=0251 24 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_42:28!14|MId=o010420280142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25-26 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 27 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_42:28!15|MId=o010420280151|Strong=3807a 26 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_42:28!15|MId=o010420280152|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010420080041;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 מַה־ מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 20 advcl _ Gloss=what?|Ref=GEN_42:28!16|MId=o010420280161|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative|SpaceAfter=No 28 זֹּ֛את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 27 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_42:28!17|MId=o010420280171|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 29 עָשָׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 28 acl _ Gloss=has.he.done|Ref=GEN_42:28!18|MId=o010420280181|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010420280191;A1:010420280171;|Type=qatal 30 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 29 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_42:28!19|MId=o010420280191|Strong=0430 31-32 לָֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 ל לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:28!20|MId=o010420280201|Strong=3807a 32 ָֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_42:28!20|MId=o010420280202|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=GEN_42:28!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
