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 — Issachar, flank — and what happens in the verse to resting place, shoulder, servant, task work, 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. וַיַּ֤רְא מְנֻחָה֙ כִּ֣י ט֔וֹב וְאֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ כִּ֣י נָעֵ֑מָה וַיֵּ֤ט שִׁכְמוֹ֙ לִסְבֹּ֔ל וַיְהִ֖י לְמַס־עֹבֵֽד׃ס [For he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task-work](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1614/) ## 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:1488 # text = וַיַּ֤רְא מְנֻחָה֙ כִּ֣י ט֔וֹב וְאֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ כִּ֣י נָעֵ֑מָה וַיֵּ֤ט שִׁכְמוֹ֙ לִסְבֹּ֔ל וַיְהִ֖י לְמַס־עֹבֵֽד׃ס # verse = GEN.49.15 1-2 וַיַּ֤רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:15!1|MId=o010490150011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֤רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_49:15!1|MId=o010490150012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010490140011;A1:010490150041;010490150081;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מְנֻחָה֙ מְנוּחָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=a.resting.place|Ref=GEN_49:15!2|MId=o010490150021|Strong=4496 4 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_49:15!3|MId=o010490150031|Strong=3588 5 ט֔וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[it.was].good|Ref=GEN_49:15!4|MId=o010490150041|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 6-7 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:15!5|MId=o010490150051|Strong=2050b 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_49:15!5|MId=o010490150052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 8-9 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_49:15!6|MId=o010490150061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=land|Ref=GEN_49:15!6|MId=o010490150062|Strong=0776 10 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=GEN_49:15!7|MId=o010490150071|Strong=3588 11 נָעֵ֑מָה נָעֵם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=it.was.pleasant|Ref=GEN_49:15!8|MId=o010490150081|Strong=5276|Frame=A0:010490150062;|Type=qatal 12-13 וַיֵּ֤ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:15!9|MId=o010490150091|Strong=2050b 13 יֵּ֤ט נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.bent.down|Ref=GEN_49:15!9|MId=o010490150092|Strong=5186|Frame=A0:010490140011;A1:010490150101;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-15 שִׁכְמוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 שִׁכְמ שְׁכֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=shoulder|Ref=GEN_49:15!10|MId=o010490150101|Strong=7926 15 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_49:15!10|MId=o010490150102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-17 לִסְבֹּ֔ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:15!11|MId=o010490150111|Strong=3807a 17 סְבֹּ֔ל סָבַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 advcl _ Gloss=carry.a.load|Ref=GEN_49:15!11|MId=o010490150112|Strong=5445|Frame=A0:010490140011;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 וַיְהִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:15!12|MId=o010490150121|Strong=2050b 19 יְהִ֖י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.became|Ref=GEN_49:15!12|MId=o010490150122|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010490140011;|Type=wayyiqtol 20-21 לְמַס־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(into).forced|Ref=GEN_49:15!13|MId=o010490150131|Strong=3807a 21 מַס־ מַס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=labor|Ref=GEN_49:15!13|MId=o010490150132|Strong=4522 22 עֹבֵֽד עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.laboring|Ref=GEN_49:15!14|MId=o010490150141|Strong=5647|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:15!14|SpaceAfter=No 24 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:15!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּרְא *he saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | | טוֹב *\[it was\] good* + נָעֵמָה *it was pleasant* | | | | נָעֵמָה *it was pleasant* | qatal · qal | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | | יֵּט *he bent down* | wayyiqtol · qal | | שִׁכְמ *shoulder* | | | | סְבֹּל *carry a load* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | יְהִי *he became* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
