Genesis 43:9 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.43.9/) [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/) / 43:9 # Genesis 43:9 בְּרֵאשִׁית **Who acts:** I, thou, me · **What happens:** be, require, not bring, set, let, bear · **To what, where:** surety, father, thee, me, blame This is Genesis 43:9 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 — I, thou, me — and what happens in the verse to surety, father, thee, me, blame, 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. אָֽנֹכִי֙ אֶֽעֶרְבֶ֔נּוּ מִיָּדִ֖י תְּבַקְשֶׁ֑נּוּ אִם־לֹ֨א הֲבִיאֹתִ֤יו אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ וְהִצַּגְתִּ֣יו לְפָנֶ֔יךָ וְחָטָ֥אתִֽי לְךָ֖ כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ [I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1408/) ## 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:1299 # text = אָֽנֹכִי֙ אֶֽעֶרְבֶ֔נּוּ מִיָּדִ֖י תְּבַקְשֶׁ֑נּוּ אִם־לֹ֨א הֲבִיאֹתִ֤יו אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ וְהִצַּגְתִּ֣יו לְפָנֶ֔יךָ וְחָטָ֥אתִֽי לְךָ֖ כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃ # verse = GEN.43.9 1 אָֽנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_43:9!1|MId=o010430090011|Strong=0595|Type=personal 2-3 אֶֽעֶרְבֶ֔נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֶֽעֶרְב עָרַב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_43:9!2|MId=o010430090021|Strong=6148|Frame=A0:010430090011;A1:010430090022;|Type=yiqtol 3 ֶ֔נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=will.stand.surety.for.him|Ref=GEN_43:9!2|MId=o010430090022|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 4-6 מִיָּדִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_43:9!3|MId=o010430090031|Strong=4480 5 יָּד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_43:9!3|MId=o010430090032|Strong=3027 6 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_43:9!3|MId=o010430090033|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 תְּבַקְשֶׁ֑נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 תְּבַקְשׁ בָּקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_43:9!4|MId=o010430090041|Strong=1245|Frame=A0:010430080041;A1:010430090042;|Type=yiqtol 8 ֶ֑נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=will.require.him|Ref=GEN_43:9!4|MId=o010430090042|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 9 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_43:9!5|MId=o010430090051|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 10 לֹ֨א לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_43:9!6|MId=o010430090061|Strong=3808|Type=negative 11-12 הֲבִיאֹתִ֤יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הֲבִיאֹתִ֤י בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 22 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_43:9!7|MId=o010430090071|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:010430080021;A0:010430090072;|Type=qatal 12 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=have.brought.him|Ref=GEN_43:9!7|MId=o010430090072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֵלֶ֙י אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_43:9!8|MId=o010430090081|Strong=0413 14 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_43:9!8|MId=o010430090082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-17 וְהִצַּגְתִּ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:9!9|MId=o010430090091|Strong=2050b 16 הִצַּגְתִּ֣י יָצַג VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_43:9!9|MId=o010430090092|Strong=3322|Frame=AA:010430080021;A0:010430090093;|Type=weqatal 17 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=will.set.him|Ref=GEN_43:9!9|MId=o010430090093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-20 לְפָנֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_43:9!10|MId=o010430090101|Strong=3807a 19 פָנֶ֔י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_43:9!10|MId=o010430090102|Strong=6440 20 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_43:9!10|MId=o010430090103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְחָטָ֥אתִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_43:9!11|MId=o010430090111|Strong=2050b 22 חָטָ֥אתִֽי חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.be.culpable|Ref=GEN_43:9!11|MId=o010430090112|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:010430080021;|Type=weqatal 23-24 לְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_43:9!12|MId=o010430090121|Strong=3807a 24 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_43:9!12|MId=o010430090122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_43:9!13|MId=o010430090131|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 26-27 הַיָּמִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_43:9!14|MId=o010430090141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 יָּמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=days|Ref=GEN_43:9!14|MId=o010430090142|Strong=3117 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_43:9!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶֽעֶרְב *I* | yiqtol · qal | אָֽנֹכִי *I* | ֶנּוּ *will stand surety for him* | | | | תְּבַקְשׁ *you* | yiqtol · piel | | ֶנּוּ *will require him* | | | | **not** הֲבִיאֹתִי *I* | qatal · hiphil | ו *have brought him* | | | | | הִצַּגְתִּי *I* | weqatal · hiphil | ו *will set him* | | | | | חָטָאתִֽי *I will be culpable* | weqatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
