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 — you, I, ye — and what happens in the verse to youngest brother, spies, upright men, brother, you, land, 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. וְ֠הָבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲחִיכֶ֣ם הַקָּטֹן֮ אֵלַי֒ וְאֵֽדְעָ֗ה כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מְרַגְּלִים֙ אַתֶּ֔ם כִּ֥י כֵנִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֔ם וְאֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ תִּסְחָֽרוּ׃ [And bring your youngest brother unto me; then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are upright men; so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1395/) ## 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:1286 # text = וְ֠הָבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲחִיכֶ֣ם הַקָּטֹן֮ אֵלַי֒ וְאֵֽדְעָ֗ה כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מְרַגְּלִים֙ אַתֶּ֔ם כִּ֥י כֵנִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֔ם וְאֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ תִּסְחָֽרוּ׃ # verse = GEN.42.34 1-2 וְ֠הָבִיאוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:34!1|MId=o010420340011|Strong=2050b 2 הָבִיאוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=bring|Ref=GEN_42:34!1|MId=o010420340012|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:010420080041;A0:010420340031;|Type=imperative 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:34!2|MId=o010420340021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 אֲחִיכֶ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_42:34!3|MId=o010420340031|Strong=0251 5 כֶ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_42:34!3|MId=o010420340032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6-7 הַקָּטֹן֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_42:34!4|MId=o010420340041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 קָּטֹן֮ קָטֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 amod _ Gloss=young|Ref=GEN_42:34!4|MId=o010420340042|Strong=6996a|Type=adjective 8-9 אֵלַי֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:34!5|MId=o010420340051|Strong=0413 9 ַי֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_42:34!5|MId=o010420340052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְאֵֽדְעָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=GEN_42:34!6|MId=o010420340061|Strong=2050b 11 אֵֽדְעָ֗ה יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.know|Ref=GEN_42:34!6|MId=o010420340062|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:010420330032;A1:010420340091;|Type=cohortative 12 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_42:34!7|MId=o010420340071|Strong=3588 13 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_42:34!8|MId=o010420340081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14 מְרַגְּלִים֙ רָגַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 11 ccomp _ Gloss=[are].spies|Ref=GEN_42:34!9|MId=o010420340091|Strong=7270|Frame=A0:010420080041;|Type=participle_active 15 אַתֶּ֔ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_42:34!10|MId=o010420340101|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 16 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_42:34!11|MId=o010420340111|Strong=3588 17 כֵנִ֖ים כֵּן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].honest|Ref=GEN_42:34!12|MId=o010420340121|Strong=3651a|Type=adjective 18 אַתֶּ֑ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_42:34!13|MId=o010420340131|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:34!14|MId=o010420340141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 אֲחִיכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֲחִי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_42:34!15|MId=o010420340151|Strong=0251 21 כֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_42:34!15|MId=o010420340152|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 22 אֶתֵּ֣ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.give|Ref=GEN_42:34!16|MId=o010420340161|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010420330032;A1:010420340151;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 לָכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:34!17|MId=o010420340171|Strong=3807a 24 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_42:34!17|MId=o010420340172|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 25-26 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:34!18|MId=o010420340181|Strong=2050b 26 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:34!18|MId=o010420340182|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 27-28 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_42:34!19|MId=o010420340191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=GEN_42:34!19|MId=o010420340192|Strong=0776 29 תִּסְחָֽרוּ סָחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.go.about.in|Ref=GEN_42:34!20|MId=o010420340201|Strong=5503|Frame=A0:010420080041;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_42:34!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
