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 — Israel, me, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to me, face, 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. וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־יוֹסֵ֖ף אָמ֣וּתָה הַפָּ֑עַם אַחֲרֵי֙ רְאוֹתִ֣י אֶת־פָּנֶ֔יךָ כִּ֥י עוֹדְךָ֖ חָֽי׃ [And Israel said unto Joseph: 'Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, that thou art yet alive.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1533/) ## 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:1416 # text = וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־יוֹסֵ֖ף אָמ֣וּתָה הַפָּ֑עַם אַחֲרֵי֙ רְאוֹתִ֣י אֶת־פָּנֶ֔יךָ כִּ֥י עוֹדְךָ֖ חָֽי׃ # verse = GEN.46.30 1-2 וַיֹּ֧אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:30!1|MId=o010460300011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֧אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_46:30!1|MId=o010460300012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010460300021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=GEN_46:30!2|MId=o010460300021|Strong=3478 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_46:30!3|MId=o010460300031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 יוֹסֵ֖ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_46:30!4|MId=o010460300041|Strong=3130 6 אָמ֣וּתָה מוּת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.me.die|Ref=GEN_46:30!5|MId=o010460300051|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:010460300021;|Type=cohortative 7-8 הַפָּ֑עַם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_46:30!6|MId=o010460300061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 פָּ֑עַם פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=time|Ref=GEN_46:30!6|MId=o010460300062|Strong=6471 9 אַחֲרֵי֙ אַחַר ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=GEN_46:30!7|MId=o010460300071|Strong=0310 10-11 רְאוֹתִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 רְאוֹת רָאָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_46:30!8|MId=o010460300081|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010460300082;A1:010460300101;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=have.seen|Ref=GEN_46:30!8|MId=o010460300082|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_46:30!9|MId=o010460300091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 פָּנֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 פָּנֶ֔י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=face|Ref=GEN_46:30!10|MId=o010460300101|Strong=6440 14 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_46:30!10|MId=o010460300102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_46:30!11|MId=o010460300111|Strong=3588 16-17 עוֹדְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עוֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=still|Ref=GEN_46:30!12|MId=o010460300121|Strong=5750 17 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_46:30!12|MId=o010460300122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18 חָֽי חַי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 parataxis _ Gloss=[are].alive|Ref=GEN_46:30!13|MId=o010460300131|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=GEN_46:30!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | | אָמוּתָה *let me die* | cohortative · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | | רְאוֹת *I* | infinitive construct · qal | ִי *have seen* | פָּנֶי *face* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
