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 — food, we, money — and what happens in the verse to lodging place, sacks, mouth, food, hand, 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. וַֽיְהִ֞י כִּי־בָ֣אנוּ אֶל־הַמָּל֗וֹן וַֽנִּפְתְּחָה֙ אֶת־אַמְתְּחֹתֵ֔ינוּ וְהִנֵּ֤ה כֶֽסֶף־אִישׁ֙ בְּפִ֣י אַמְתַּחְתּ֔וֹ כַּסְפֵּ֖נוּ בְּמִשְׁקָל֑וֹ וַנָּ֥שֶׁב אֹת֖וֹ בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃ [And it came to pass, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; and we have brought it back in our hand.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1421/) ## 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:1311 # text = וַֽיְהִ֞י כִּי־בָ֣אנוּ אֶל־הַמָּל֗וֹן וַֽנִּפְתְּחָה֙ אֶת־אַמְתְּחֹתֵ֔ינוּ וְהִנֵּ֤ה כֶֽסֶף־אִישׁ֙ בְּפִ֣י אַמְתַּחְתּ֔וֹ כַּסְפֵּ֖נוּ בְּמִשְׁקָל֑וֹ וַנָּ֥שֶׁב אֹת֖וֹ בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃ # verse = GEN.43.21 1-2 וַֽיְהִ֞י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:21!1|MId=o010430210011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֞י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_43:21!1|MId=o010430210012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_43:21!2|MId=o010430210021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 4 בָ֣אנוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 advcl _ Gloss=we.came|Ref=GEN_43:21!3|MId=o010430210031|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010430180022;|Type=qatal 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_43:21!4|MId=o010430210041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַמָּל֗וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the.lodging|Ref=GEN_43:21!5|MId=o010430210051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 מָּל֗וֹן מָלוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=GEN_43:21!5|MId=o010430210052|Strong=4411 8-10 וַֽנִּפְתְּחָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:21!6|MId=o010430210061|Strong=2050b 9 נִּפְתְּח פָּתַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=we|Ref=GEN_43:21!6|MId=o010430210062|Strong=6605|Frame=A0:010430180022;A1:010430210081;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 ָה֙ ה X _ _ 9 nmod _ Gloss=opened|Ref=GEN_43:21!6|MId=o010430210063|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_43:21!7|MId=o010430210071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 אַמְתְּחֹתֵ֔ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אַמְתְּחֹתֵ֔י אַמְתַּחַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=sacks|Ref=GEN_43:21!8|MId=o010430210081|Strong=0572 13 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=GEN_43:21!8|MId=o010430210082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְהִנֵּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:21!9|MId=o010430210091|Strong=2050b 15 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 19 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=GEN_43:21!9|MId=o010430210092|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 16 כֶֽסֶף־ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].silver|Ref=GEN_43:21!10|MId=o010430210101|Strong=3701|SpaceAfter=No 17 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.each.man|Ref=GEN_43:21!11|MId=o010430210111|Strong=0376 18-19 בְּפִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[was].in|Ref=GEN_43:21!12|MId=o010430210121|Strong=0871a 19 פִ֣י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=the.mouth|Ref=GEN_43:21!12|MId=o010430210122|Strong=6310 20-21 אַמְתַּחְתּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אַמְתַּחְתּ אַמְתַּחַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.sack|Ref=GEN_43:21!13|MId=o010430210131|Strong=0572 21 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_43:21!13|MId=o010430210132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 כַּסְפֵּ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 כַּסְפּ כֶּסֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=silver|Ref=GEN_43:21!14|MId=o010430210141|Strong=3701 23 ֵ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=GEN_43:21!14|MId=o010430210142|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 24-26 בְּמִשְׁקָל֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_43:21!15|MId=o010430210151|Strong=0871a 25 מִשְׁקָל מִשְׁקָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 parataxis _ Gloss=weight|Ref=GEN_43:21!15|MId=o010430210152|Strong=4948 26 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=GEN_43:21!15|MId=o010430210153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27-28 וַנָּ֥שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:21!16|MId=o010430210161|Strong=2050b 28 נָּ֥שֶׁב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=1 19 conj _ Gloss=we.have.brought.back|Ref=GEN_43:21!16|MId=o010430210162|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:010430180022;A0:010430210172;|Type=wayyiqtol 29-30 אֹת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_43:21!17|MId=o010430210171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 30 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_43:21!17|MId=o010430210172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-33 בְּיָדֵֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_43:21!18|MId=o010430210181|Strong=0871a 32 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_43:21!18|MId=o010430210182|Strong=3027 33 ֵֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=GEN_43:21!18|MId=o010430210183|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=GEN_43:21!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
