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 — Joseph, father — and what happens in the verse to Pharaoh, land, 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. וַיָּבֹ֣א יוֹסֵף֮ וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לְפַרְעֹה֒ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אָבִ֨י וְאַחַ֜י וְצֹאנָ֤ם וּבְקָרָם֙ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָהֶ֔ם בָּ֖אוּ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וְהִנָּ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ גֹּֽשֶׁן׃ [Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said: 'My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1538/) ## 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:1421 # text = וַיָּבֹ֣א יוֹסֵף֮ וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לְפַרְעֹה֒ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אָבִ֨י וְאַחַ֜י וְצֹאנָ֤ם וּבְקָרָם֙ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָהֶ֔ם בָּ֖אוּ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וְהִנָּ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ גֹּֽשֶׁן׃ # verse = GEN.47.1 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!1|MId=o010470010011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=GEN_47:1!1|MId=o010470010012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010470010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יוֹסֵף֮ יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_47:1!2|MId=o010470010021|Strong=3130 4-5 וַיַּגֵּ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!3|MId=o010470010031|Strong=2050b 5 יַּגֵּ֣ד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.told|Ref=GEN_47:1!3|MId=o010470010032|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:010470010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 6-7 לְפַרְעֹה֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_47:1!4|MId=o010470010041|Strong=3807a 7 פַרְעֹה֒ פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 5 obl _ Gloss=Pharaoh|Ref=GEN_47:1!4|MId=o010470010042|Strong=6547 8-9 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!5|MId=o010470010051|Strong=2050b 9 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_47:1!5|MId=o010470010052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010470010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 אָבִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אָב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_47:1!6|MId=o010470010061|Strong=0001 11 ִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_47:1!6|MId=o010470010062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-14 וְאַחַ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!7|MId=o010470010071|Strong=2050b 13 אַח אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 conj _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_47:1!7|MId=o010470010072|Strong=0251 14 ַ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_47:1!7|MId=o010470010073|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15-17 וְצֹאנָ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!8|MId=o010470010081|Strong=2050b 16 צֹאנ צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=flock[s]|Ref=GEN_47:1!8|MId=o010470010082|Strong=6629 17 ָ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_47:1!8|MId=o010470010083|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-20 וּבְקָרָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!9|MId=o010470010091|Strong=2050b 19 בְקָר בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=herd[s]|Ref=GEN_47:1!9|MId=o010470010092|Strong=1241 20 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_47:1!9|MId=o010470010093|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!10|MId=o010470010101|Strong=2050b 22 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_47:1!10|MId=o010470010102|Strong=3605 23 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=GEN_47:1!11|MId=o010470010111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24-25 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=GEN_47:1!12|MId=o010470010121|Strong=3807a 25 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_47:1!12|MId=o010470010122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26 בָּ֖אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 9 ccomp _ Gloss=they.have.come|Ref=GEN_47:1!13|MId=o010470010131|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010470010061;010470010072;010470010082;010470010092;010470010102;|Type=qatal 27-28 מֵאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_47:1!14|MId=o010470010141|Strong=4480 28 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:1!14|MId=o010470010142|Strong=0776 29 כְּנָ֑עַן כְּנַעַן PROPN _ _ 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Canaan|Ref=GEN_47:1!15|MId=o010470010151|Strong=3667 30-32 וְהִנָּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 34 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:1!16|MId=o010470010161|Strong=2050b 31 הִנּ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 34 nsubj _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_47:1!16|MId=o010470010162|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 32 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 31 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=GEN_47:1!16|MId=o010470010163|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 33-34 בְּאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=[are].in|Ref=GEN_47:1!17|MId=o010470010171|Strong=0871a 34 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 conj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:1!17|MId=o010470010172|Strong=0776 35 גֹּֽשֶׁן גֹּשֶׁן PROPN _ _ 34 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Goshen|Ref=GEN_47:1!18|MId=o010470010181|Strong=1657|SpaceAfter=No 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=GEN_47:1!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
