Genesis 43:33 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN.43.33/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Genesis](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/) / [chapter 43](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/43/) / 43:33 # Genesis 43:33 בְּרֵאשִׁית **Who acts:** Egyptians, men · **What happens:** sit, accord, marvell · **To what, where:** one This is Genesis 43:33 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — Egyptians, men — and what happens in the verse to one, 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. וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ לְפָנָ֔יו הַבְּכֹר֙ כִּבְכֹ֣רָת֔וֹ וְהַצָּעִ֖יר כִּצְעִרָת֑וֹ וַיִּתְמְה֥וּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים אִ֥ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵֽהוּ׃ [And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one with another.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1435/) ## 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:1323 # text = וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ לְפָנָ֔יו הַבְּכֹר֙ כִּבְכֹ֣רָת֔וֹ וְהַצָּעִ֖יר כִּצְעִרָת֑וֹ וַיִּתְמְה֥וּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים אִ֥ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵֽהוּ׃ # verse = GEN.43.33 1-2 וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:33!1|MId=o010430330011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּשְׁב֣וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.sat.down|Ref=GEN_43:33!1|MId=o010430330012|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010430240042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 לְפָנָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_43:33!2|MId=o010430330021|Strong=3807a 4 פָנָ֔י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_43:33!2|MId=o010430330022|Strong=6440 5 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_43:33!2|MId=o010430330023|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-7 הַבְּכֹר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_43:33!3|MId=o010430330031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 בְּכֹר֙ בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=GEN_43:33!3|MId=o010430330032|Strong=1060 8-10 כִּבְכֹ֣רָת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=GEN_43:33!4|MId=o010430330041|Strong=3509a 9 בְכֹ֣רָת בְּכֹרָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_43:33!4|MId=o010430330042|Strong=1062 10 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.birthright|Ref=GEN_43:33!4|MId=o010430330043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-13 וְהַצָּעִ֖יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:33!5|MId=o010430330051|Strong=2050b 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the.young|Ref=GEN_43:33!5|MId=o010430330052|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 צָּעִ֖יר צָעִיר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=[brother]|Ref=GEN_43:33!5|MId=o010430330053|Strong=6810|Type=adjective 14-16 כִּצְעִרָת֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=GEN_43:33!6|MId=o010430330061|Strong=3509a 15 צְעִרָת צְעִירָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_43:33!6|MId=o010430330062|Strong=6812 16 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.youth|Ref=GEN_43:33!6|MId=o010430330063|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וַיִּתְמְה֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:33!7|MId=o010430330071|Strong=2050b 18 יִּתְמְה֥וּ תָּמַהּ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.looked.in.astonishment|Ref=GEN_43:33!7|MId=o010430330072|Strong=8539|Frame=A0:010430330082;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-20 הָאֲנָשִׁ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_43:33!8|MId=o010430330081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֲנָשִׁ֖ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=men|Ref=GEN_43:33!8|MId=o010430330082|Strong=0376 21 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=GEN_43:33!9|MId=o010430330091|Strong=0376 22 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_43:33!10|MId=o010430330101|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 רֵעֵֽהוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 רֵע רֵעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nmod _ Gloss=neighbor|Ref=GEN_43:33!11|MId=o010430330111|Strong=7453 24 ֵֽהוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_43:33!11|MId=o010430330112|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=GEN_43:33!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּשְׁבוּ *they sat down* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִּתְמְהוּ *they looked in astonishment* | wayyiqtol · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *men* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
