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, I — and what happens in the verse to yourselves, that, you, end, 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. וַיִּקְרָ֥א יַעֲקֹ֖ב אֶל־בָּנָ֑יו וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ וְאַגִּ֣ידָה לָכֶ֔ם אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָ֥א אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית הַיָּמִֽים׃ [And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: 'Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the end of days.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1599/) ## 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:1474 # text = וַיִּקְרָ֥א יַעֲקֹ֖ב אֶל־בָּנָ֑יו וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ וְאַגִּ֣ידָה לָכֶ֔ם אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָ֥א אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית הַיָּמִֽים׃ # verse = GEN.49.1 1-2 וַיִּקְרָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:1!1|MId=o010490010011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.summoned|Ref=GEN_49:1!1|MId=o010490010012|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:010490010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יַעֲקֹ֖ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_49:1!2|MId=o010490010021|Strong=3290 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=GEN_49:1!3|MId=o010490010031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 בָּנָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בָּנָ֑י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=sons|Ref=GEN_49:1!4|MId=o010490010041|Strong=1121 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_49:1!4|MId=o010490010042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:1!5|MId=o010490010051|Strong=2050b 8 יֹּ֗אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_49:1!5|MId=o010490010052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010490010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 הֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 ccomp _ Gloss=gather.yourselves|Ref=GEN_49:1!6|MId=o010490010061|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:010490010041;|Type=imperative 10-11 וְאַגִּ֣ידָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=GEN_49:1!7|MId=o010490010071|Strong=2050b 11 אַגִּ֣ידָה נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.tell|Ref=GEN_49:1!7|MId=o010490010072|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:010490010021;A0:010490010111;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 לָכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:1!8|MId=o010490010081|Strong=3807a 13 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_49:1!8|MId=o010490010082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 14 אֵ֛ת אֵת ADP _ _ 11 obj _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_49:1!9|MId=o010490010091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=[that].which|Ref=GEN_49:1!10|MId=o010490010101|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 16 יִקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.will.happen.to|Ref=GEN_49:1!11|MId=o010490010111|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:;A1:010490010122;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 אֶתְכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_49:1!12|MId=o010490010121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 ְכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_49:1!12|MId=o010490010122|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 19-20 בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_49:1!13|MId=o010490010131|Strong=0871a 20 אַחֲרִ֥ית אַחֲרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=GEN_49:1!13|MId=o010490010132|Strong=0319 21-22 הַיָּמִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_49:1!14|MId=o010490010141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 יָּמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=GEN_49:1!14|MId=o010490010142|Strong=3117 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:1!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקְרָא *he summoned* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | | | | הֵאָֽסְפוּ *gather yourselves* | imperative · niphal | | בָּנָי *sons* | | | | אַגִּידָה *that I may tell* | yiqtol · hiphil | יִקְרָא *it will happen to* | | | יַעֲקֹב *Jacob* | | יִקְרָא *it will happen to* | yiqtol · qal | | ְכֶם *you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
