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 — blessings — and what happens in the verse to head, father, progenitors, 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. בִּרְכֹ֣ת אָבִ֗יךָ גָּֽבְרוּ֙ עַל־בִּרְכֹ֣ת הוֹרַ֔י עַֽד־תַּאֲוַ֖ת גִּבְעֹ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם תִּֽהְיֶ֙ין֙לְרֹ֣אשׁ יוֹסֵ֔ף וּלְקָדְקֹ֖ד נְזִ֥יר אֶחָֽיו׃פ [The blessings of thy father are mighty beyond the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of the prince among his brethren.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1625/) ## 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:1499 # text = בִּרְכֹ֣ת אָבִ֗יךָ גָּֽבְרוּ֙ עַל־בִּרְכֹ֣ת הוֹרַ֔י עַֽד־תַּאֲוַ֖ת גִּבְעֹ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם תִּֽהְיֶ֙ין֙לְרֹ֣אשׁ יוֹסֵ֔ף וּלְקָדְקֹ֖ד נְזִ֥יר אֶחָֽיו׃פ # verse = GEN.49.26 1 בִּרְכֹ֣ת בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=the.blessings|Ref=GEN_49:26!1|MId=o010490260011|Strong=1293 2-3 אָבִ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אָבִ֗י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.father|Ref=GEN_49:26!2|MId=o010490260021|Strong=0001 3 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_49:26!2|MId=o010490260022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4 גָּֽבְרוּ֙ גָּבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.have.prevailed|Ref=GEN_49:26!3|MId=o010490260031|Strong=1396|Frame=A0:010490260011;|Type=qatal 5 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=GEN_49:26!4|MId=o010490260041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 6 בִּרְכֹ֣ת בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=the.blessings|Ref=GEN_49:26!5|MId=o010490260051|Strong=1293 7-8 הוֹרַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הוֹר הָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_49:26!6|MId=o010490260061|Strong=2029|Frame=A1:010490260062;|Type=participle_active 8 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[those.[masc].who].conceived.me|Ref=GEN_49:26!6|MId=o010490260062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9 עַֽד־ עַד ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:26!7|MId=o010490260071|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 10 תַּאֲוַ֖ת תַּאֲוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=desire|Ref=GEN_49:26!8|MId=o010490260081|Strong=8379 11 גִּבְעֹ֣ת גִּבְעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hills|Ref=GEN_49:26!9|MId=o010490260091|Strong=1389 12 עוֹלָ֑ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.antiquity|Ref=GEN_49:26!10|MId=o010490260101|Strong=5769 13-15 תִּֽהְיֶ֙ין֙לְרֹ֣אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 תִּֽהְיֶ֙ין֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 cop _ Gloss=may.they.belong|Ref=GEN_49:26!11|MId=o010490260111|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:010490260011;|Type=yiqtol 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:26!12|MId=o010490260121|Strong=3807a 15 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=the.head|Ref=GEN_49:26!12|MId=o010490260122|Strong=7218 16 יוֹסֵ֔ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Joseph|Ref=GEN_49:26!13|MId=o010490260131|Strong=3130 17-19 וּלְקָדְקֹ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:26!14|MId=o010490260141|Strong=2050b 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:26!14|MId=o010490260142|Strong=3807a 19 קָדְקֹ֖ד קׇדְקֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=the.crown.of.the.head|Ref=GEN_49:26!14|MId=o010490260143|Strong=6936 20 נְזִ֥יר נָזִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.consecrated.one|Ref=GEN_49:26!15|MId=o010490260151|Strong=5139 21-22 אֶחָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֶחָֽי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.brothers|Ref=GEN_49:26!16|MId=o010490260161|Strong=0251 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_49:26!16|MId=o010490260162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:26!16|SpaceAfter=No 24 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:26!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | גָּֽבְרוּ *they have prevailed* | qatal · qal | בִּרְכֹת *the blessings* | | | | | הוֹר *of* | participle active · qal | | ַי *\[those \[masc\] who\] conceived me* | | | | תִּֽהְיֶין *may they belong* | yiqtol · qal | בִּרְכֹת *the blessings* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
