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 — Er — and what happens in the verse to Hezron, 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. וּבְנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֗ה עֵ֧ר וְאוֹנָ֛ן וְשֵׁלָ֖ה וָפֶ֣רֶץ וָזָ֑רַח וַיָּ֨מָת עֵ֤ר וְאוֹנָן֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן וַיִּהְי֥וּ בְנֵי־פֶ֖רֶץ חֶצְר֥וֹן וְחָמֽוּל׃ [And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1514/) [And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1515/) ## 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:1398 # text = וּבְנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֗ה עֵ֧ר וְאוֹנָ֛ן וְשֵׁלָ֖ה וָפֶ֣רֶץ וָזָ֑רַח וַיָּ֨מָת עֵ֤ר וְאוֹנָן֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן וַיִּהְי֥וּ בְנֵי־פֶ֖רֶץ חֶצְר֥וֹן וְחָמֽוּל׃ # verse = GEN.46.12 1-2 וּבְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!1|MId=o010460120011|Strong=2050b 2 בְנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=GEN_46:12!1|MId=o010460120012|Strong=1121 3 יְהוּדָ֗ה יְהוּדָה PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Judah|Ref=GEN_46:12!2|MId=o010460120021|Strong=3063 4 עֵ֧ר עֵר PROPN _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=Er|Ref=GEN_46:12!3|MId=o010460120031|Strong=6147 5-6 וְאוֹנָ֛ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!4|MId=o010460120041|Strong=2050b 6 אוֹנָ֛ן אוֹנָן PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Onan|Ref=GEN_46:12!4|MId=o010460120042|Strong=0209 7-8 וְשֵׁלָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!5|MId=o010460120051|Strong=2050b 8 שֵׁלָ֖ה שֵׁלָה PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Shelah|Ref=GEN_46:12!5|MId=o010460120052|Strong=7956 9-10 וָפֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!6|MId=o010460120061|Strong=2050b 10 פֶ֣רֶץ פֶּרֶץ PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Perez|Ref=GEN_46:12!6|MId=o010460120062|Strong=6557 11-12 וָזָ֑רַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!7|MId=o010460120071|Strong=2050b 12 זָ֑רַח זֶרַח PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Zerah|Ref=GEN_46:12!7|MId=o010460120072|Strong=2226 13-14 וַיָּ֨מָת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!8|MId=o010460120081|Strong=2050b 14 יָּ֨מָת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.had.died|Ref=GEN_46:12!8|MId=o010460120082|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:010460120091;010460120102;|Type=wayyiqtol 15 עֵ֤ר עֵר PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Er|Ref=GEN_46:12!9|MId=o010460120091|Strong=6147 16-17 וְאוֹנָן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!10|MId=o010460120101|Strong=2050b 17 אוֹנָן֙ אוֹנָן PROPN _ _ 15 conj _ Gloss=Onan|Ref=GEN_46:12!10|MId=o010460120102|Strong=0209 18-19 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_46:12!11|MId=o010460120111|Strong=0871a 19 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_46:12!11|MId=o010460120112|Strong=0776 20 כְּנַ֔עַן כְּנַעַן PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Canaan|Ref=GEN_46:12!12|MId=o010460120121|Strong=3667 21-22 וַיִּהְי֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!13|MId=o010460120131|Strong=2050b 22 יִּהְי֥וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 25 cop _ Gloss=they.were|Ref=GEN_46:12!13|MId=o010460120132|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010460120141;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 בְנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=GEN_46:12!14|MId=o010460120141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 24 פֶ֖רֶץ פֶּרֶץ PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Perez|Ref=GEN_46:12!15|MId=o010460120151|Strong=6557 25 חֶצְר֥וֹן חֶצְרוֹן PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Hezron|Ref=GEN_46:12!16|MId=o010460120161|Strong=2696 26-27 וְחָמֽוּל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:12!17|MId=o010460120171|Strong=2050b 27 חָמֽוּל חָמוּל PROPN _ _ 25 conj _ Gloss=Hamul|Ref=GEN_46:12!17|MId=o010460120172|Strong=2538 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_46:12!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּמָת *he had died* | wayyiqtol · qal | עֵר *Er* + אוֹנָן *Onan* | | | | | יִּהְיוּ *they were* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵי־ *the sons* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
