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 — man, I, ye — and what happens in the verse to upright men, one, corn, way, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֵ֗ינוּ הָאִישׁ֙ אֲדֹנֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ בְּזֹ֣את אֵדַ֔ע כִּ֥י כֵנִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם אֲחִיכֶ֤ם הָֽאֶחָד֙ הַנִּ֣יחוּ אִתִּ֔י וְאֶת־רַעֲב֥וֹן בָּתֵּיכֶ֖ם קְח֥וּ וָלֵֽכוּ׃ [And the man, the lord of the land, said unto us: Hereby shall I know that ye are upright men: leave one of your brethren with me, and take corn for the famine of your houses, and go your way.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1394/) ## 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:1285 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֵ֗ינוּ הָאִישׁ֙ אֲדֹנֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ בְּזֹ֣את אֵדַ֔ע כִּ֥י כֵנִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם אֲחִיכֶ֤ם הָֽאֶחָד֙ הַנִּ֣יחוּ אִתִּ֔י וְאֶת־רַעֲב֥וֹן בָּתֵּיכֶ֖ם קְח֥וּ וָלֵֽכוּ׃ # verse = GEN.42.33 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:33!1|MId=o010420330011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_42:33!1|MId=o010420330012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010420330032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלֵ֗ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלֵ֗י אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:33!2|MId=o010420330021|Strong=0413 4 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=GEN_42:33!2|MId=o010420330022|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 5-6 הָאִישׁ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_42:33!3|MId=o010420330031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=GEN_42:33!3|MId=o010420330032|Strong=0376 7 אֲדֹנֵ֣י אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 appos _ Gloss=the.lord(s)|Ref=GEN_42:33!4|MId=o010420330041|Strong=0113 8-9 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_42:33!5|MId=o010420330051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_42:33!5|MId=o010420330052|Strong=0776 10-11 בְּזֹ֣את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=GEN_42:33!6|MId=o010420330061|Strong=0871a 11 זֹ֣את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 12 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_42:33!6|MId=o010420330062|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 12 אֵדַ֔ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.know|Ref=GEN_42:33!7|MId=o010420330071|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:010420330032;A1:010420330091;|Type=yiqtol 13 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_42:33!8|MId=o010420330081|Strong=3588 14 כֵנִ֖ים כֵּן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 ccomp _ Gloss=[are].honest|Ref=GEN_42:33!9|MId=o010420330091|Strong=3651a|Type=adjective 15 אַתֶּ֑ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_42:33!10|MId=o010420330101|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 16-17 אֲחִיכֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֲחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_42:33!11|MId=o010420330111|Strong=0251 17 כֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_42:33!11|MId=o010420330112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18-19 הָֽאֶחָד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_42:33!12|MId=o010420330121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 אֶחָד֙ אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=GEN_42:33!12|MId=o010420330122|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 20 הַנִּ֣יחוּ נוח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 parataxis _ Gloss=leave|Ref=GEN_42:33!13|MId=o010420330131|Strong=5117|Frame=AA:010420080041;A0:010420330111;|Type=imperative 21-22 אִתִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_42:33!14|MId=o010420330141|Strong=0854 22 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_42:33!14|MId=o010420330142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:33!15|MId=o010420330151|Strong=2050b 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:33!15|MId=o010420330152|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 25 רַעֲב֥וֹן רְעָבוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=the.hunger|Ref=GEN_42:33!16|MId=o010420330161|Strong=7459 26-27 בָּתֵּיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בָּתֵּי בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.households|Ref=GEN_42:33!17|MId=o010420330171|Strong=1004 27 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_42:33!17|MId=o010420330172|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 28 קְח֥וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 conj _ Gloss=take|Ref=GEN_42:33!18|MId=o010420330181|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010420080041;A1:010420330161;|Type=imperative 29-30 וָלֵֽכוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:33!19|MId=o010420330191|Strong=2050b 30 לֵֽכוּ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 conj _ Gloss=go|Ref=GEN_42:33!19|MId=o010420330192|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:010420080041;|Type=imperative 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_42:33!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
