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 — Jacob, days — and what happens in the verse to land, hundred forty years, 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. וַיְחִ֤י יַעֲקֹב֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם שְׁבַ֥ע עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָ֑ה וַיְהִ֤י יְמֵֽי־יַעֲקֹב֙ שְׁנֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֔ים וְאַרְבָּעִ֥ים וּמְאַ֖ת שָׁנָֽה׃ [And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty and seven years.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1571/) ## 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:1448 # text = וַיְחִ֤י יַעֲקֹב֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם שְׁבַ֥ע עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה שָׁנָ֑ה וַיְהִ֤י יְמֵֽי־יַעֲקֹב֙ שְׁנֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו שֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֔ים וְאַרְבָּעִ֥ים וּמְאַ֖ת שָׁנָֽה׃ # verse = GEN.47.28 1-2 וַיְחִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:28!1|MId=o010470280011|Strong=2050b 2 יְחִ֤י חָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.lived|Ref=GEN_47:28!1|MId=o010470280012|Strong=2421|Frame=A0:010470280021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יַעֲקֹב֙ יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_47:28!2|MId=o010470280021|Strong=3290 4-5 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_47:28!3|MId=o010470280031|Strong=0871a 5 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_47:28!3|MId=o010470280032|Strong=0776 6 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=GEN_47:28!4|MId=o010470280041|Strong=4714 7 שְׁבַ֥ע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=seven-|Ref=GEN_47:28!5|MId=o010470280051|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 8 עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה עֶשְׂרֵה NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 flat _ Gloss=teen|Ref=GEN_47:28!6|MId=o010470280061|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 9 שָׁנָ֑ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=GEN_47:28!7|MId=o010470280071|Strong=8141 10-11 וַיְהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:28!8|MId=o010470280081|Strong=2050b 11 יְהִ֤י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=GEN_47:28!8|MId=o010470280082|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010470280091;|Type=wayyiqtol 12 יְמֵֽי־ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 nsubj _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=GEN_47:28!9|MId=o010470280091|Strong=3117|SpaceAfter=No 13 יַעֲקֹב֙ יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_47:28!10|MId=o010470280101|Strong=3290 14 שְׁנֵ֣י שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 12 appos _ Gloss=the.years|Ref=GEN_47:28!11|MId=o010470280111|Strong=8141|Type=cardinal_number 15-16 חַיָּ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 חַיָּ֔י חַיִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.life|Ref=GEN_47:28!12|MId=o010470280121|Strong=2416 16 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_47:28!12|MId=o010470280122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 שֶׁ֣בַע שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=GEN_47:28!13|MId=o010470280131|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 18 שָׁנִ֔ים שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=years|Ref=GEN_47:28!14|MId=o010470280141|Strong=8141 19-20 וְאַרְבָּעִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:28!15|MId=o010470280151|Strong=2050b 20 אַרְבָּעִ֥ים אַרְבַּע NUM _ Number=Plur 23 nummod _ Gloss=forty|Ref=GEN_47:28!15|MId=o010470280152|Strong=0705|Type=cardinal_number 21-22 וּמְאַ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_47:28!16|MId=o010470280161|Strong=2050b 22 מְאַ֖ת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=one.hundred|Ref=GEN_47:28!16|MId=o010470280162|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 23 שָׁנָֽה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=GEN_47:28!17|MId=o010470280171|Strong=8141|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=GEN_47:28!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְחִי *he lived* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | יְהִי *it was* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְמֵֽי־ *the days* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
