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 — God, it, I, man — and what happens in the verse to goblet, bondman, you, peace, 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. וַיֹּ֕אמֶר חָלִ֣ילָה לִּ֔י מֵעֲשׂ֖וֹת זֹ֑את הָאִ֡ישׁ אֲשֶׁר֩ נִמְצָ֨א הַגָּבִ֜יעַ בְּיָד֗וֹ ה֚וּא יִהְיֶה־לִּ֣י עָ֔בֶד וְאַתֶּ֕ם עֲל֥וּ לְשָׁל֖וֹם אֶל־אֲבִיכֶֽם׃פ [And he said: 'Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the goblet is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1456/) ## 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:1341 # text = וַיֹּ֕אמֶר חָלִ֣ילָה לִּ֔י מֵעֲשׂ֖וֹת זֹ֑את הָאִ֡ישׁ אֲשֶׁר֩ נִמְצָ֨א הַגָּבִ֜יעַ בְּיָד֗וֹ ה֚וּא יִהְיֶה־לִּ֣י עָ֔בֶד וְאַתֶּ֕ם עֲל֥וּ לְשָׁל֖וֹם אֶל־אֲבִיכֶֽם׃פ # verse = GEN.44.17 1-2 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_44:17!1|MId=o010440170011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֕אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_44:17!1|MId=o010440170012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010440150031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 חָלִ֣ילָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 חָלִ֣יל חָלִילָה INTJ _ _ 4 discourse _ Gloss=far|Ref=GEN_44:17!2|MId=o010440170021|Strong=2486|Type=interjection 4 ָה ה X _ _ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=be.it|Ref=GEN_44:17!2|MId=o010440170022|Strong=1886c|Type=paragogic_he 5-6 לִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_44:17!3|MId=o010440170031|Strong=3807a 6 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_44:17!3|MId=o010440170032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 מֵעֲשׂ֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_44:17!4|MId=o010440170041|Strong=4480 8 עֲשׂ֖וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=doing|Ref=GEN_44:17!4|MId=o010440170042|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010440150031;A1:010440170051;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 זֹ֑את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 obj _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_44:17!5|MId=o010440170051|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 10-11 הָאִ֡ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_44:17!6|MId=o010440170061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אִ֡ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 dislocated _ Gloss=man|Ref=GEN_44:17!6|MId=o010440170062|Strong=0376 12 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=GEN_44:17!7|MId=o010440170071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13 נִמְצָ֨א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.was.found|Ref=GEN_44:17!8|MId=o010440170081|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:010440170092;|Type=qatal 14-15 הַגָּבִ֜יעַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_44:17!9|MId=o010440170091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 גָּבִ֜יעַ גָּבִיעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=cup|Ref=GEN_44:17!9|MId=o010440170092|Strong=1375 16-18 בְּיָד֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_44:17!10|MId=o010440170101|Strong=0871a 17 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_44:17!10|MId=o010440170102|Strong=3027 18 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_44:17!10|MId=o010440170103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 ה֚וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_44:17!11|MId=o010440170111|Strong=1931|Type=personal 20 יִהְיֶה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 23 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=GEN_44:17!12|MId=o010440170121|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010440170111;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 לִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_44:17!13|MId=o010440170131|Strong=3807a 22 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_44:17!13|MId=o010440170132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23 עָ֔בֶד עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=slave|Ref=GEN_44:17!14|MId=o010440170141|Strong=5650 24-25 וְאַתֶּ֕ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_44:17!15|MId=o010440170151|Strong=2050b 25 אַתֶּ֕ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_44:17!15|MId=o010440170152|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 26 עֲל֥וּ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 conj _ Gloss=go.up|Ref=GEN_44:17!16|MId=o010440170161|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:010440170152;|Type=imperative 27-28 לְשָׁל֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_44:17!17|MId=o010440170171|Strong=3807a 28 שָׁל֖וֹם שָׁלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=peace|Ref=GEN_44:17!17|MId=o010440170172|Strong=7965 29 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_44:17!18|MId=o010440170181|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 30-31 אֲבִיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 אֲבִי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_44:17!19|MId=o010440170191|Strong=0001 31 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_44:17!19|MId=o010440170192|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=GEN_44:17!19|SpaceAfter=No 33 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=GEN_44:17!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
