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 — Jacob, ye, things — and what happens in the verse to Me, Benjamin, 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 אֲלֵהֶם֙ יַעֲקֹ֣ב אֲבִיהֶ֔ם אֹתִ֖י שִׁכַּלְתֶּ֑ם יוֹסֵ֤ף אֵינֶ֙נּוּ֙ וְשִׁמְע֣וֹן אֵינֶ֔נּוּ וְאֶת־בִּנְיָמִ֣ן תִּקָּ֔חוּ עָלַ֖י הָי֥וּ כֻלָּֽנָה׃ [And Jacob their father said unto them: 'Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away; upon me are all these things come.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1397/) ## 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:1288 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ יַעֲקֹ֣ב אֲבִיהֶ֔ם אֹתִ֖י שִׁכַּלְתֶּ֑ם יוֹסֵ֤ף אֵינֶ֙נּוּ֙ וְשִׁמְע֣וֹן אֵינֶ֔נּוּ וְאֶת־בִּנְיָמִ֣ן תִּקָּ֔חוּ עָלַ֖י הָי֥וּ כֻלָּֽנָה׃ # verse = GEN.42.36 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:36!1|MId=o010420360011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_42:36!1|MId=o010420360012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010420360031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:36!2|MId=o010420360021|Strong=0413 4 ֵהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_42:36!2|MId=o010420360022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 יַעֲקֹ֣ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_42:36!3|MId=o010420360031|Strong=3290 6-7 אֲבִיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֲבִי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_42:36!4|MId=o010420360041|Strong=0001 7 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_42:36!4|MId=o010420360042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8-9 אֹתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_42:36!5|MId=o010420360051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_42:36!5|MId=o010420360052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 שִׁכַּלְתֶּ֑ם שָׁכֹל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you.are.making.childless|Ref=GEN_42:36!6|MId=o010420360061|Strong=7921|Frame=A0:010420080041;A1:010420360052;|Type=qatal 11 יוֹסֵ֤ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 12 dislocated _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_42:36!7|MId=o010420360071|Strong=3130 12-13 אֵינֶ֙נּוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֵינ אַיִן ADV _ _ 10 parataxis _ Gloss=he.[is]|Ref=GEN_42:36!8|MId=o010420360081|Strong=0369|Type=negative 13 ֶ֙נּוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_42:36!8|MId=o010420360082|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְשִׁמְע֣וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:36!9|MId=o010420360091|Strong=2050b 15 שִׁמְע֣וֹן שִׁמְעוֹן PROPN _ _ 16 dislocated _ Gloss=Simeon|Ref=GEN_42:36!9|MId=o010420360092|Strong=8095 16-17 אֵינֶ֔נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֵינ אַיִן ADV _ _ 10 conj _ Gloss=he.[is]|Ref=GEN_42:36!10|MId=o010420360101|Strong=0369|Type=negative 17 ֶ֔נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_42:36!10|MId=o010420360102|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:36!11|MId=o010420360111|Strong=2050b 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_42:36!11|MId=o010420360112|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 20 בִּנְיָמִ֣ן בִּנְיָמִן PROPN _ _ 21 obj _ Gloss=Benjamin|Ref=GEN_42:36!12|MId=o010420360121|Strong=1144 21 תִּקָּ֔חוּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 conj _ Gloss=you.will.take|Ref=GEN_42:36!13|MId=o010420360131|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010420080041;A1:010420360121;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 עָלַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=GEN_42:36!14|MId=o010420360141|Strong=5921 23 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 parataxis _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_42:36!14|MId=o010420360142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24 הָי֥וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 23 cop _ Gloss=they.are|Ref=GEN_42:36!15|MId=o010420360151|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010420360162;|Type=qatal 25-26 כֻלָּֽנָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 כֻלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=GEN_42:36!16|MId=o010420360161|Strong=3605 26 ָֽנָה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_42:36!16|MId=o010420360162|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=GEN_42:36!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | **not** שִׁכַּלְתֶּם *you are making childless* | qatal · piel | | ִי *me* | | | | תִּקָּחוּ *you will take* | yiqtol · qal | | בִּנְיָמִן *Benjamin* | | | | הָיוּ *they are* | qatal · qal | ָֽנָה *all* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
