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 — sons, famine — and what happens in the verse to 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. וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִשְׁבֹּ֖ר בְּת֣וֹךְ הַבָּאִ֑ים כִּֽי־הָיָ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ב בְּאֶ֥רֶץ כְּנָֽעַן׃ [And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Caanan.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1365/) ## 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:1257 # text = וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִשְׁבֹּ֖ר בְּת֣וֹךְ הַבָּאִ֑ים כִּֽי־הָיָ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ב בְּאֶ֥רֶץ כְּנָֽעַן׃ # verse = GEN.42.5 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_42:5!1|MId=o010420050011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=GEN_42:5!1|MId=o010420050012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010420050021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=GEN_42:5!2|MId=o010420050021|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=GEN_42:5!3|MId=o010420050031|Strong=3478 5-6 לִשְׁבֹּ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_42:5!4|MId=o010420050041|Strong=3807a 6 שְׁבֹּ֖ר שָׁבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=buy.grain|Ref=GEN_42:5!4|MId=o010420050042|Strong=7666|Frame=A0:010420050021;A1:010420030061;|Type=infinitive_construct 7-8 בְּת֣וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=GEN_42:5!5|MId=o010420050051|Strong=0871a 8 ת֣וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_42:5!5|MId=o010420050052|Strong=8432 9-10 הַבָּאִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=[those|Ref=GEN_42:5!6|MId=o010420050061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 בָּאִ֑ים בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=who.were].coming|Ref=GEN_42:5!6|MId=o010420050062|Strong=0935|Type=participle_active 11 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_42:5!7|MId=o010420050071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 12 הָיָ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_42:5!8|MId=o010420050081|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010420050092;|Type=qatal 13-14 הָרָעָ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_42:5!9|MId=o010420050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 רָעָ֖ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=famine|Ref=GEN_42:5!9|MId=o010420050092|Strong=7458 15-16 בְּאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_42:5!10|MId=o010420050101|Strong=0871a 16 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_42:5!10|MId=o010420050102|Strong=0776 17 כְּנָֽעַן כְּנַעַן PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Canaan|Ref=GEN_42:5!11|MId=o010420050111|Strong=3667|SpaceAfter=No 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=GEN_42:5!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the sons* | | | | | שְׁבֹּר *buy grain* | infinitive construct · qal | בְּנֵי *the sons* | | | | | הָיָה *it was* | qatal · qal | רָעָב *famine* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
