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 — and what happens in the verse to eyes, 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. וַיִּקַּ֣ח יוֹסֵף֮ אֶת־שְׁנֵיהֶם֒ אֶת־אֶפְרַ֤יִם בִּֽימִינוֹ֙ מִשְּׂמֹ֣אל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה בִשְׂמֹאל֖וֹ מִימִ֣ין יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּגֵּ֖שׁ אֵלָֽיו׃ [And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1589/) ## 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:1464 # text = וַיִּקַּ֣ח יוֹסֵף֮ אֶת־שְׁנֵיהֶם֒ אֶת־אֶפְרַ֤יִם בִּֽימִינוֹ֙ מִשְּׂמֹ֣אל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה בִשְׂמֹאל֖וֹ מִימִ֣ין יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּגֵּ֖שׁ אֵלָֽיו׃ # verse = GEN.48.13 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:13!1|MId=o010480130011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=GEN_48:13!1|MId=o010480130012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:010480130021;A1:010480130042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יוֹסֵף֮ יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_48:13!2|MId=o010480130021|Strong=3130 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_48:13!3|MId=o010480130031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 שְׁנֵיהֶם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 שְׁנֵי שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 6 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=GEN_48:13!4|MId=o010480130041|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 6 הֶם֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=GEN_48:13!4|MId=o010480130042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_48:13!5|MId=o010480130051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8 אֶפְרַ֤יִם אֶפְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 2 parataxis _ Gloss=Ephraim|Ref=GEN_48:13!6|MId=o010480130061|Strong=0669 9-11 בִּֽימִינוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בִּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_48:13!7|MId=o010480130071|Strong=0871a 10 ימִינ יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=his.right|Ref=GEN_48:13!7|MId=o010480130072|Strong=3225 11 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_48:13!7|MId=o010480130073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 מִשְּׂמֹ֣אל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_48:13!8|MId=o010480130081|Strong=4480 13 שְּׂמֹ֣אל שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.left|Ref=GEN_48:13!8|MId=o010480130082|Strong=8040 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=GEN_48:13!9|MId=o010480130091|Strong=3478 15-16 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:13!10|MId=o010480130101|Strong=2050b 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_48:13!10|MId=o010480130102|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17 מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה מְנַשֶּׁה PROPN _ _ 8 conj _ Gloss=Manasseh|Ref=GEN_48:13!11|MId=o010480130111|Strong=4519 18-20 בִשְׂמֹאל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בִ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_48:13!12|MId=o010480130121|Strong=0871a 19 שְׂמֹאל שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=his.left|Ref=GEN_48:13!12|MId=o010480130122|Strong=8040 20 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_48:13!12|MId=o010480130123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-22 מִימִ֣ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_48:13!13|MId=o010480130131|Strong=4480 22 ימִ֣ין יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.right|Ref=GEN_48:13!13|MId=o010480130132|Strong=3225 23 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=GEN_48:13!14|MId=o010480130141|Strong=3478 24-25 וַיַּגֵּ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:13!15|MId=o010480130151|Strong=2050b 25 יַּגֵּ֖שׁ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.brought.[them].near|Ref=GEN_48:13!15|MId=o010480130152|Strong=5066|Frame=AA:010480130021;A0:010480130061;010480130111;|Type=wayyiqtol 26-27 אֵלָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אֵלָֽי אֶל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_48:13!16|MId=o010480130161|Strong=0413 27 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_48:13!16|MId=o010480130162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=GEN_48:13!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | הֶם *of them* | | | | יַּגֵּשׁ *he brought \[them\] near* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | אֶפְרַיִם *Ephraim* + מְנַשֶּׁה *Manasseh* | | | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
