Genesis 45:5 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.45.5/) [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 45](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/45/) / 45:5 # Genesis 45:5 בְּרֵאשִׁית **Who acts:** ye, God · **What happens:** not grieve, sell, send, preserve · **To what, where:** me, life This is Genesis 45:5 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 — ye, God — and what happens in the verse to me, life, 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. וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ אַל־תֵּעָ֣צְב֗וּ וְאַל־יִ֙חַר֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם כִּֽי־מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתִ֖י הֵ֑נָּה כִּ֣י לְמִֽחְיָ֔ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים לִפְנֵיכֶֽם׃ [And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither; for God did send me before you to preserve life.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1479/) ## 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:1363 # text = וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ אַל־תֵּעָ֣צְב֗וּ וְאַל־יִ֙חַר֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם כִּֽי־מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתִ֖י הֵ֑נָּה כִּ֣י לְמִֽחְיָ֔ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים לִפְנֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = GEN.45.5 1-2 וְעַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_45:5!1|MId=o010450050011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֣ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=now|Ref=GEN_45:5!1|MId=o010450050012|Strong=6258 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=GEN_45:5!1 4 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=GEN_45:5!2|MId=o010450050021|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 5 תֵּעָ֣צְב֗וּ עָצַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=be.grieved|Ref=GEN_45:5!3|MId=o010450050031|Strong=6087a|Frame=A0:010450040041;|Type=jussive 6-7 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_45:5!4|MId=o010450050041|Strong=2050b 7 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=GEN_45:5!4|MId=o010450050042|Strong=0408|Type=negative 8 יִ֙חַר֙ חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=let.it.burn|Ref=GEN_45:5!5|MId=o010450050051|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:;|Type=jussive 9-11 בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_45:5!6|MId=o010450050061|Strong=0871a 10 עֵ֣ינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 8 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=GEN_45:5!6|MId=o010450050062|Strong=5869 11 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_45:5!6|MId=o010450050063|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 12 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_45:5!7|MId=o010450050071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 13 מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם מָכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 advcl _ Gloss=you.sold|Ref=GEN_45:5!8|MId=o010450050081|Strong=4376|Frame=A0:010450040041;A1:010450050092;|Type=qatal 14-15 אֹתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_45:5!9|MId=o010450050091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_45:5!9|MId=o010450050092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16 הֵ֑נָּה הֵנָּה ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=hither|Ref=GEN_45:5!10|MId=o010450050101|Strong=2008 17 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_45:5!11|MId=o010450050111|Strong=3588 18-19 לְמִֽחְיָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_45:5!12|MId=o010450050121|Strong=3807a 19 מִֽחְיָ֔ה מִחְיָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=preservation.of.life|Ref=GEN_45:5!12|MId=o010450050122|Strong=4241 20-21 שְׁלָחַ֥נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 שְׁלָח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=GEN_45:5!13|MId=o010450050131|Strong=7971|Frame=A1:010450050132;A0:010450050141;|Type=qatal 21 ַ֥נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obj _ Gloss=sent.me|Ref=GEN_45:5!13|MId=o010450050132|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 22 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_45:5!14|MId=o010450050141|Strong=0430 23-25 לִפְנֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=GEN_45:5!15|MId=o010450050151|Strong=3807a 24 פְנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_45:5!15|MId=o010450050152|Strong=6440 25 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_45:5!15|MId=o010450050153|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=GEN_45:5!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֵּעָצְבוּ *be grieved* | jussive · niphal | | | | | | **not** יִחַר *let it burn* | jussive · qal | | | | | | מְכַרְתֶּם *you sold* | qatal · qal | | ִי *me* | | | | שְׁלָח *he* | qatal · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | ַנִי *sent me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
