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 — angel, name, Abraham, my — and what happens in the verse to me, evil, lads, name, Abraham, multitude, 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. הַמַּלְאָךְ֩ הַגֹּאֵ֨ל אֹתִ֜י מִכָּל־רָ֗ע יְבָרֵךְ֮ אֶת־הַנְּעָרִים֒ וְיִקָּרֵ֤א בָהֶם֙ שְׁמִ֔י וְשֵׁ֥ם אֲבֹתַ֖י אַבְרָהָ֣ם וְיִצְחָ֑ק וְיִדְגּ֥וּ לָרֹ֖ב בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [the angel who hath redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named in them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1592/) ## 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:1467 # text = הַמַּלְאָךְ֩ הַגֹּאֵ֨ל אֹתִ֜י מִכָּל־רָ֗ע יְבָרֵךְ֮ אֶת־הַנְּעָרִים֒ וְיִקָּרֵ֤א בָהֶם֙ שְׁמִ֔י וְשֵׁ֥ם אֲבֹתַ֖י אַבְרָהָ֣ם וְיִצְחָ֑ק וְיִדְגּ֥וּ לָרֹ֖ב בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = GEN.48.16 1-2 הַמַּלְאָךְ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_48:16!1|MId=o010480160011|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 2 מַּלְאָךְ֩ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=angel|Ref=GEN_48:16!1|MId=o010480160012|Strong=4397 3-4 הַגֹּאֵ֨ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=GEN_48:16!2|MId=o010480160021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 גֹּאֵ֨ל גָּאַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=has].redeemed|Ref=GEN_48:16!2|MId=o010480160022|Strong=1350|Frame=A0:010480160012;A1:010480160032;|Type=participle_active 5-6 אֹתִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_48:16!3|MId=o010480160031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 6 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_48:16!3|MId=o010480160032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_48:16!4|MId=o010480160041|Strong=4480 8 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_48:16!4|MId=o010480160042|Strong=3605 9 רָ֗ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=harm|Ref=GEN_48:16!5|MId=o010480160051|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 10 יְבָרֵךְ֮ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=may.he.bless|Ref=GEN_48:16!6|MId=o010480160061|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:010480160012;A1:010480160082;|Type=yiqtol 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_48:16!7|MId=o010480160071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הַנְּעָרִים֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_48:16!8|MId=o010480160081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 נְּעָרִים֒ נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=lads|Ref=GEN_48:16!8|MId=o010480160082|Strong=5288 14-15 וְיִקָּרֵ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:16!9|MId=o010480160091|Strong=2050b 15 יִקָּרֵ֤א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=may.it.be.called|Ref=GEN_48:16!9|MId=o010480160092|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:010480160111;010480160122;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 בָהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_48:16!10|MId=o010480160101|Strong=0871a 17 ָהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_48:16!10|MId=o010480160102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-19 שְׁמִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_48:16!11|MId=o010480160111|Strong=8034 19 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_48:16!11|MId=o010480160112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְשֵׁ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:16!12|MId=o010480160121|Strong=2050b 21 שֵׁ֥ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=GEN_48:16!12|MId=o010480160122|Strong=8034 22-23 אֲבֹתַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֲבֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.fathers|Ref=GEN_48:16!13|MId=o010480160131|Strong=0001 23 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_48:16!13|MId=o010480160132|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24 אַבְרָהָ֣ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 22 appos _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=GEN_48:16!14|MId=o010480160141|Strong=0085 25-26 וְיִצְחָ֑ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:16!15|MId=o010480160151|Strong=2050b 26 יִצְחָ֑ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 24 conj _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=GEN_48:16!15|MId=o010480160152|Strong=3327 27-28 וְיִדְגּ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_48:16!16|MId=o010480160161|Strong=2050b 28 יִדְגּ֥וּ דָּגָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=may.they.multiply|Ref=GEN_48:16!16|MId=o010480160162|Strong=1711|Frame=A0:010480160082;|Type=yiqtol 29-30 לָרֹ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_48:16!17|MId=o010480160171|Strong=3807a 30 רֹ֖ב רֹב NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=abundance|Ref=GEN_48:16!17|MId=o010480160172|Strong=7230 31-32 בְּקֶ֥רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_48:16!18|MId=o010480160181|Strong=0871a 32 קֶ֥רֶב קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=GEN_48:16!18|MId=o010480160182|Strong=7130 33-34 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 34 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_48:16!19|MId=o010480160191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 34 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=GEN_48:16!19|MId=o010480160192|Strong=0776 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=GEN_48:16!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
