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 — bow, hands — and what happens in the verse to arms, 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. וַתֵּ֤שֶׁב בְּאֵיתָן֙ קַשְׁתּ֔וֹ וַיָּפֹ֖זּוּ זְרֹעֵ֣י יָדָ֑יו מִידֵי֙ אֲבִ֣יר יַעֲקֹ֔ב מִשָּׁ֥ם רֹעֶ֖ה אֶ֥בֶן יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [But his bow abode firm, and the arms of his hands were made supple, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from thence, from the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1623/) ## 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:1497 # text = וַתֵּ֤שֶׁב בְּאֵיתָן֙ קַשְׁתּ֔וֹ וַיָּפֹ֖זּוּ זְרֹעֵ֣י יָדָ֑יו מִידֵי֙ אֲבִ֣יר יַעֲקֹ֔ב מִשָּׁ֥ם רֹעֶ֖ה אֶ֥בֶן יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = GEN.49.24 1-2 וַתֵּ֤שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:24!1|MId=o010490240011|Strong=2050b 2 תֵּ֤שֶׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.remained|Ref=GEN_49:24!1|MId=o010490240012|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010490240031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בְּאֵיתָן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_49:24!2|MId=o010490240021|Strong=0871a 4 אֵיתָן֙ אֵיתָן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=permanence|Ref=GEN_49:24!2|MId=o010490240022|Strong=0386|Type=adjective 5-6 קַשְׁתּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 קַשְׁתּ קֶשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=bow|Ref=GEN_49:24!3|MId=o010490240031|Strong=7198 6 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_49:24!3|MId=o010490240032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 וַיָּפֹ֖זּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:24!4|MId=o010490240041|Strong=2050b 8 יָּפֹ֖זּוּ פָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.agile|Ref=GEN_49:24!4|MId=o010490240042|Strong=6339|Frame=A0:010490240051;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 זְרֹעֵ֣י זְרוֹעַ NOUN _ Number=Plur 8 nsubj _ Gloss=the.arms|Ref=GEN_49:24!5|MId=o010490240051|Strong=2220 10-11 יָדָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יָדָ֑י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.hands|Ref=GEN_49:24!6|MId=o010490240061|Strong=3027 11 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_49:24!6|MId=o010490240062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 מִידֵי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_49:24!7|MId=o010490240071|Strong=4480 13 ידֵי֙ יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 8 obl _ Gloss=the.hands|Ref=GEN_49:24!7|MId=o010490240072|Strong=3027 14 אֲבִ֣יר אָבִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.mighty.one|Ref=GEN_49:24!8|MId=o010490240081|Strong=0046|Type=adjective 15 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=GEN_49:24!9|MId=o010490240091|Strong=3290 16-17 מִשָּׁ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=[is].from|Ref=GEN_49:24!10|MId=o010490240101|Strong=4480 17 שָּׁ֥ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 2 parataxis _ Gloss=there|Ref=GEN_49:24!10|MId=o010490240102|Strong=8033 18 רֹעֶ֖ה רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].shepherd|Ref=GEN_49:24!11|MId=o010490240111|Strong=7473|Frame=A0:010490240121;|Type=participle_active 19 אֶ֥בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 appos _ Gloss=the.stone|Ref=GEN_49:24!12|MId=o010490240121|Strong=0068 20 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=GEN_49:24!13|MId=o010490240131|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:24!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵּשֶׁב *it remained* | wayyiqtol · qal | קַשְׁתּ *bow* | | | | | יָּפֹזּוּ *they were agile* | wayyiqtol · qal | זְרֹעֵי *the arms* | | | | | רֹעֶה *\[the\] shepherd* | participle active · qal | אֶבֶן *the stone* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
