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, priests — and what happens in the verse to land, possessions, men, 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. וַיֵּ֧שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֑שֶׁן וַיֵּאָחֲז֣וּ בָ֔הּ וַיִּפְר֥וּ וַיִּרְבּ֖וּ מְאֹֽד׃ [And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1570/) ## 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:1447 # text = וַיֵּ֧שֶׁב יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם בְּאֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֑שֶׁן וַיֵּאָחֲז֣וּ בָ֔הּ וַיִּפְר֥וּ וַיִּרְבּ֖וּ מְאֹֽד׃ # verse = GEN.47.27 1-2 וַיֵּ֧שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:27!1|MId=o010470270011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּ֧שֶׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.dwelt|Ref=GEN_47:27!1|MId=o010470270012|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010470270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=GEN_47:27!2|MId=o010470270021|Strong=3478 4-5 בְּאֶ֥רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:27!3|MId=o010470270031|Strong=0871a 5 אֶ֥רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:27!3|MId=o010470270032|Strong=0776 6 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=GEN_47:27!4|MId=o010470270041|Strong=4714 7-8 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:27!5|MId=o010470270051|Strong=0871a 8 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:27!5|MId=o010470270052|Strong=0776 9 גֹּ֑שֶׁן גֹּשֶׁן PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Goshen|Ref=GEN_47:27!6|MId=o010470270061|Strong=1657 10-11 וַיֵּאָחֲז֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:27!7|MId=o010470270071|Strong=2050b 11 יֵּאָחֲז֣וּ אָחַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.had.possessions|Ref=GEN_47:27!7|MId=o010470270072|Strong=0270|Frame=A0:010470270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 בָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:27!8|MId=o010470270081|Strong=0871a 13 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=GEN_47:27!8|MId=o010470270082|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 14-15 וַיִּפְר֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:27!9|MId=o010470270091|Strong=2050b 15 יִּפְר֥וּ פָּרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.fruitful|Ref=GEN_47:27!9|MId=o010470270092|Strong=6509|Frame=A0:010470270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 וַיִּרְבּ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:27!10|MId=o010470270101|Strong=2050b 17 יִּרְבּ֖וּ רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.multiplied|Ref=GEN_47:27!10|MId=o010470270102|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:010470270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 מְאֹֽד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=GEN_47:27!11|MId=o010470270111|Strong=3966|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=GEN_47:27!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּשֶׁב *he dwelt* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | | יֵּאָחֲזוּ *they had possessions* | wayyiqtol · niphal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | | יִּפְרוּ *they were fruitful* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | | יִּרְבּוּ *they multiplied* | wayyiqtol · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
