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 — sons, Jacob, souls — and what happens in the verse to sons, Joseph, Egypt, two souls, threescore, 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. וּבְנֵ֥י יוֹסֵ֛ף אֲשֶׁר־יֻלַּד־ל֥וֹ בְמִצְרַ֖יִם נֶ֣פֶשׁ שְׁנָ֑יִם כָּל־הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ לְבֵֽית־יַעֲקֹ֛ב הַבָּ֥אָה מִצְרַ֖יְמָה שִׁבְעִֽים׃פ [And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1530/) ## 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:1413 # text = וּבְנֵ֥י יוֹסֵ֛ף אֲשֶׁר־יֻלַּד־ל֥וֹ בְמִצְרַ֖יִם נֶ֣פֶשׁ שְׁנָ֑יִם כָּל־הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ לְבֵֽית־יַעֲקֹ֛ב הַבָּ֥אָה מִצְרַ֖יְמָה שִׁבְעִֽים׃פ # verse = GEN.46.27 1-2 וּבְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:27!1|MId=o010460270011|Strong=2050b 2 בְנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 nsubj _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=GEN_46:27!1|MId=o010460270012|Strong=1121 3 יוֹסֵ֛ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Joseph|Ref=GEN_46:27!2|MId=o010460270021|Strong=3130 4 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=GEN_46:27!3|MId=o010460270031|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 5 יֻלַּד־ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.was.born|Ref=GEN_46:27!4|MId=o010460270041|Strong=3205|Frame=A1:010460270012;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 ל֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_46:27!5|MId=o010460270051|Strong=3807a 7 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_46:27!5|MId=o010460270052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 בְמִצְרַ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_46:27!6|MId=o010460270061|Strong=0871a 9 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=GEN_46:27!6|MId=o010460270062|Strong=4714 10 נֶ֣פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[were].person[s]|Ref=GEN_46:27!7|MId=o010460270071|Strong=5315 11 שְׁנָ֑יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 10 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=GEN_46:27!8|MId=o010460270081|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 12 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_46:27!9|MId=o010460270091|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 הַנֶּ֧פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_46:27!10|MId=o010460270101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 נֶּ֧פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=person|Ref=GEN_46:27!10|MId=o010460270102|Strong=5315 15-16 לְבֵֽית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_46:27!11|MId=o010460270111|Strong=3807a 16 בֵֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nmod _ Gloss=the.household|Ref=GEN_46:27!11|MId=o010460270112|Strong=1004 17 יַעֲקֹ֛ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_46:27!12|MId=o010460270121|Strong=3290 18-19 הַבָּ֥אָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_46:27!13|MId=o010460270131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 בָּ֥אָה בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 appos _ Gloss=it.went|Ref=GEN_46:27!13|MId=o010460270132|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010460270102;|Type=qatal 20-21 מִצְרַ֖יְמָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִצְרַ֖יְמ מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_46:27!14|MId=o010460270141|Strong=4714 21 ָה ה X _ _ 20 nmod _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=GEN_46:27!14|MId=o010460270142|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 22 שִׁבְעִֽים שֶׁבַע NUM _ Number=Plur 10 parataxis _ Gloss=[was].seventy|Ref=GEN_46:27!15|MId=o010460270151|Strong=7657|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_46:27!15|SpaceAfter=No 24 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_46:27!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֻלַּד־ *it was born* | qatal · pual | | בְנֵי *the sons* | | | | בָּאָה *it went* | qatal · qal | נֶּפֶשׁ *person* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
