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 — Joseph — and what happens in the verse to ten asses, father, ten she asses, 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. וּלְאָבִ֞יו שָׁלַ֤ח כְּזֹאת֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה חֲמֹרִ֔ים נֹשְׂאִ֖ים מִטּ֣וּב מִצְרָ֑יִם וְעֶ֣שֶׂר אֲתֹנֹ֡ת נֹֽ֠שְׂאֹת בָּ֣ר וָלֶ֧חֶם וּמָז֛וֹן לְאָבִ֖יו לַדָּֽרֶךְ׃ [And to his father he sent in like manner ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and victual for his father by the way.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1497/) ## 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:1381 # text = וּלְאָבִ֞יו שָׁלַ֤ח כְּזֹאת֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה חֲמֹרִ֔ים נֹשְׂאִ֖ים מִטּ֣וּב מִצְרָ֑יִם וְעֶ֣שֶׂר אֲתֹנֹ֡ת נֹֽ֠שְׂאֹת בָּ֣ר וָלֶ֧חֶם וּמָז֛וֹן לְאָבִ֖יו לַדָּֽרֶךְ׃ # verse = GEN.45.23 1-4 וּלְאָבִ֞יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_45:23!1|MId=o010450230011|Strong=2050b 2 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_45:23!1|MId=o010450230012|Strong=3807a 3 אָבִ֞י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_45:23!1|MId=o010450230013|Strong=0001 4 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_45:23!1|MId=o010450230014|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 שָׁלַ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=GEN_45:23!2|MId=o010450230021|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:010450210071;|Type=qatal 6-7 כְּזֹאת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=GEN_45:23!3|MId=o010450230031|Strong=3509a 7 זֹאת֙ זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 5 obl _ Gloss=to.this|Ref=GEN_45:23!3|MId=o010450230032|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 8 עֲשָׂרָ֣ה עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=ten|Ref=GEN_45:23!4|MId=o010450230041|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 9 חֲמֹרִ֔ים חֲמוֹר NOUN _ Number=Plur 7 appos _ Gloss=donkeys|Ref=GEN_45:23!5|MId=o010450230051|Strong=2543 10 נֹשְׂאִ֖ים נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=carrying|Ref=GEN_45:23!6|MId=o010450230061|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:010450230051;|Type=participle_active 11-12 מִטּ֣וּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=GEN_45:23!7|MId=o010450230071|Strong=4480 12 טּ֣וּב טוּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=of.the.good.thing[s]|Ref=GEN_45:23!7|MId=o010450230072|Strong=2898 13 מִצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=GEN_45:23!8|MId=o010450230081|Strong=4714 14-15 וְעֶ֣שֶׂר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_45:23!9|MId=o010450230091|Strong=2050b 15 עֶ֣שֶׂר עֶשֶׂר NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 nummod _ Gloss=ten|Ref=GEN_45:23!9|MId=o010450230092|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 16 אֲתֹנֹ֡ת אָתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 conj _ Gloss=female.donkeys|Ref=GEN_45:23!10|MId=o010450230101|Strong=0860 17 נֹֽ֠שְׂאֹת נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 16 acl:relcl _ Gloss=carrying|Ref=GEN_45:23!11|MId=o010450230111|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:010450230101;A1:010450230121;010450230132;010450230142;|Type=participle_active 18 בָּ֣ר בַּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=grain|Ref=GEN_45:23!12|MId=o010450230121|Strong=1250 19-20 וָלֶ֧חֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_45:23!13|MId=o010450230131|Strong=2050b 20 לֶ֧חֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=food|Ref=GEN_45:23!13|MId=o010450230132|Strong=3899 21-22 וּמָז֛וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_45:23!14|MId=o010450230141|Strong=2050b 22 מָז֛וֹן מָזוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=provision[s]|Ref=GEN_45:23!14|MId=o010450230142|Strong=4202 23-25 לְאָבִ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_45:23!15|MId=o010450230151|Strong=3807a 24 אָבִ֖י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_45:23!15|MId=o010450230152|Strong=0001 25 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_45:23!15|MId=o010450230153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 לַדָּֽרֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_45:23!16|MId=o010450230161|Strong=3807a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_45:23!16|MId=o010450230161ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 דָּֽרֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=journey|Ref=GEN_45:23!16|MId=o010450230162|Strong=1870 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=GEN_45:23!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁלַח *he sent* | qatal · qal | | | | | | נֹשְׂאִים *carrying* | participle active · qal | חֲמֹרִים *donkeys* | | | | | נֹֽשְׂאֹת *carrying* | participle active · qal | אֲתֹנֹת *female donkeys* | בָּר *grain* + לֶחֶם *food* + מָזוֹן *provision\[s\]* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
