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, servants, shepherd — and what happens in the verse to keepers, youth, land, abomination, 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. וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם אַנְשֵׁ֨י מִקְנֶ֜ה הָי֤וּ עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ מִנְּעוּרֵ֣ינוּ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה גַּם־אֲנַ֖חְנוּ גַּם־אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בַּעֲב֗וּר תֵּשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֔שֶׁן כִּֽי־תוֹעֲבַ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם כָּל־רֹ֥עֵה צֹֽאן׃ [that ye shall say: Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers; that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1537/) ## 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:1420 # text = וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם אַנְשֵׁ֨י מִקְנֶ֜ה הָי֤וּ עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ מִנְּעוּרֵ֣ינוּ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה גַּם־אֲנַ֖חְנוּ גַּם־אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בַּעֲב֗וּר תֵּשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֔שֶׁן כִּֽי־תוֹעֲבַ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם כָּל־רֹ֥עֵה צֹֽאן׃ # verse = GEN.46.34 1-2 וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:34!1|MId=o010460340011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=GEN_46:34!1|MId=o010460340012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010460310041;010460310061;|Type=weqatal 3 אַנְשֵׁ֨י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 ccomp _ Gloss=men|Ref=GEN_46:34!2|MId=o010460340021|Strong=0376 4 מִקְנֶ֜ה מִקְנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.livestock|Ref=GEN_46:34!3|MId=o010460340031|Strong=4735 5 הָי֤וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 cop _ Gloss=they.have.been|Ref=GEN_46:34!4|MId=o010460340041|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010460340051;|Type=qatal 6-7 עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עֲבָדֶ֙י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=GEN_46:34!5|MId=o010460340051|Strong=5650 7 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_46:34!5|MId=o010460340052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-10 מִנְּעוּרֵ֣ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=since|Ref=GEN_46:34!6|MId=o010460340061|Strong=4480 9 נְּעוּרֵ֣י נְעוּרִים NOUN _ Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=youth(s)|Ref=GEN_46:34!6|MId=o010460340062|Strong=5271 10 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=GEN_46:34!6|MId=o010460340063|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְעַד־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_46:34!7|MId=o010460340071|Strong=2050b 12 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=GEN_46:34!7|MId=o010460340072|Strong=5704 13 עַ֔תָּה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 9 conj _ Gloss=now|Ref=GEN_46:34!8|MId=o010460340081|Strong=6258 14 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=both|Ref=GEN_46:34!9|MId=o010460340091|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 15 אֲנַ֖חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 appos _ Gloss=we|Ref=GEN_46:34!10|MId=o010460340101|Strong=0587|Type=personal 16 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=as.well.as|Ref=GEN_46:34!11|MId=o010460340111|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֲבֹתֵ֑י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 conj _ Gloss=fathers|Ref=GEN_46:34!12|MId=o010460340121|Strong=0001 18 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=GEN_46:34!12|MId=o010460340122|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19-20 בַּעֲב֗וּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=so|Ref=GEN_46:34!13|MId=o010460340131|Strong=0871a 20 עֲב֗וּר עָבוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nmod _ Gloss=that|Ref=GEN_46:34!13|MId=o010460340132|Strong=5668 21 תֵּשְׁבוּ֙ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 parataxis _ Gloss=you.may.dwell|Ref=GEN_46:34!14|MId=o010460340141|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010460310041;010460310061;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_46:34!15|MId=o010460340151|Strong=0871a 23 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_46:34!15|MId=o010460340152|Strong=0776 24 גֹּ֔שֶׁן גֹּשֶׁן PROPN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Goshen|Ref=GEN_46:34!16|MId=o010460340161|Strong=1657 25 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_46:34!17|MId=o010460340171|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 26 תוֹעֲבַ֥ת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].the.abomination|Ref=GEN_46:34!18|MId=o010460340181|Strong=8441 27 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=GEN_46:34!19|MId=o010460340191|Strong=4714 28 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_46:34!20|MId=o010460340201|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 29 רֹ֥עֵה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=shepherd|Ref=GEN_46:34!21|MId=o010460340211|Strong=7473|Frame=A1:010460340221;|Type=participle_active 30 צֹֽאן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.sheep|Ref=GEN_46:34!22|MId=o010460340221|Strong=6629|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_46:34!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
