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, Pharaoh — and what happens in the verse to father, possession, 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. וַיּוֹשֵׁ֣ב יוֹסֵף֮ אֶת־אָבִ֣יו וְאֶת־אֶחָיו֒ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֤ם אֲחֻזָּה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּמֵיטַ֥ב הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ רַעְמְסֵ֑ס כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֥ה פַרְעֹֽה׃ [And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1551/) ## 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:1431 # text = וַיּוֹשֵׁ֣ב יוֹסֵף֮ אֶת־אָבִ֣יו וְאֶת־אֶחָיו֒ וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֤ם אֲחֻזָּה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם בְּמֵיטַ֥ב הָאָ֖רֶץ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ רַעְמְסֵ֑ס כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֥ה פַרְעֹֽה׃ # verse = GEN.47.11 1-2 וַיּוֹשֵׁ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:11!1|MId=o010470110011|Strong=2050b 2 יּוֹשֵׁ֣ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.caused.to.dwell|Ref=GEN_47:11!1|MId=o010470110012|Strong=3427|Frame=AA:010470110021;A0:010470110041;010470110061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יוֹסֵף֮ יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_47:11!2|MId=o010470110021|Strong=3130 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_47:11!3|MId=o010470110031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 אָבִ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אָבִ֣י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_47:11!4|MId=o010470110041|Strong=0001 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_47:11!4|MId=o010470110042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:11!5|MId=o010470110051|Strong=2050b 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_47:11!5|MId=o010470110052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9-10 אֶחָיו֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֶחָי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 conj _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=GEN_47:11!6|MId=o010470110061|Strong=0251 10 ו֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_47:11!6|MId=o010470110062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַיִּתֵּ֨ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:11!7|MId=o010470110071|Strong=2050b 12 יִּתֵּ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.gave|Ref=GEN_47:11!7|MId=o010470110072|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:010470110021;A1:010470110091;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 לָהֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_47:11!8|MId=o010470110081|Strong=3807a 14 ָהֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_47:11!8|MId=o010470110082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 אֲחֻזָּה֙ אֲחֻזָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=a.possession|Ref=GEN_47:11!9|MId=o010470110091|Strong=0272 16-17 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:11!10|MId=o010470110101|Strong=0871a 17 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:11!10|MId=o010470110102|Strong=0776 18 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=GEN_47:11!11|MId=o010470110111|Strong=4714 19-20 בְּמֵיטַ֥ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:11!12|MId=o010470110121|Strong=0871a 20 מֵיטַ֥ב מֵיטָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.best|Ref=GEN_47:11!12|MId=o010470110122|Strong=4315 21-22 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_47:11!13|MId=o010470110131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:11!13|MId=o010470110132|Strong=0776 23-24 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:11!14|MId=o010470110141|Strong=0871a 24 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 nmod _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:11!14|MId=o010470110142|Strong=0776 25 רַעְמְסֵ֑ס רַעַמְסֵס PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Rameses|Ref=GEN_47:11!15|MId=o010470110151|Strong=7486 26-27 כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=GEN_47:11!16|MId=o010470110161|Strong=3509a 27 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=GEN_47:11!16|MId=o010470110162|Strong=0834|Type=relative 28 צִוָּ֥ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 26 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.had.commanded|Ref=GEN_47:11!17|MId=o010470110171|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:010470110181;A1:010470110021;|Type=qatal 29 פַרְעֹֽה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 28 nsubj _ Gloss=Pharaoh|Ref=GEN_47:11!18|MId=o010470110181|Strong=6547|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_47:11!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יּוֹשֵׁב *he caused to dwell* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | אָבִי *father* + אֶחָי *brothers* | | | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | יִּתֵּן *he gave* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | אֲחֻזָּה *a possession* | | | | צִוָּה *he had commanded* | qatal · piel | פַרְעֹֽה *Pharaoh* | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
