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 — these, this, father, one — and what happens in the verse to twelve tribes, wolf, tribes, 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. כָּל־אֵ֛לֶּה שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שְׁנֵ֣ים עָשָׂ֑ר וְ֠זֹאת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֨ר לָהֶ֤ם אֲבִיהֶם֙ וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אוֹתָ֔ם אִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר כְּבִרְכָת֖וֹ בֵּרַ֥ךְ אֹתָֽם׃ [All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1627/) ## 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:1501 # text = כָּל־אֵ֛לֶּה שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שְׁנֵ֣ים עָשָׂ֑ר וְ֠זֹאת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֨ר לָהֶ֤ם אֲבִיהֶם֙ וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אוֹתָ֔ם אִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר כְּבִרְכָת֖וֹ בֵּרַ֥ךְ אֹתָֽם׃ # verse = GEN.49.28 1 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_49:28!1|MId=o010490280011|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 2 אֵ֛לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 1 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=GEN_49:28!2|MId=o010490280021|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 3 שִׁבְטֵ֥י שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].the.tribes|Ref=GEN_49:28!3|MId=o010490280031|Strong=7626 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=GEN_49:28!4|MId=o010490280041|Strong=3478 5 שְׁנֵ֣ים שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 3 nummod _ Gloss=two.plus|Ref=GEN_49:28!5|MId=o010490280051|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 6 עָשָׂ֑ר עָשָׂר NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 flat _ Gloss=ten|Ref=GEN_49:28!6|MId=o010490280061|Strong=6240|Type=cardinal_number 7-8 וְ֠זֹאת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:28!7|MId=o010490280071|Strong=2050b 8 זֹאת זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 10 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_49:28!7|MId=o010490280072|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 9 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=[is.that].which|Ref=GEN_49:28!8|MId=o010490280081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 10 דִּבֶּ֨ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=GEN_49:28!9|MId=o010490280091|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:010490280111;|Type=qatal 11-12 לָהֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:28!10|MId=o010490280101|Strong=3807a 12 ָהֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_49:28!10|MId=o010490280102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13-14 אֲבִיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֲבִי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=GEN_49:28!11|MId=o010490280111|Strong=0001 14 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_49:28!11|MId=o010490280112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-16 וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:28!12|MId=o010490280121|Strong=2050b 16 יְבָ֣רֶךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.blessed|Ref=GEN_49:28!12|MId=o010490280122|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:010490280111;A1:010490280132;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 אוֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_49:28!13|MId=o010490280131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 18 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_49:28!13|MId=o010490280132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19 אִ֛ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=GEN_49:28!14|MId=o010490280141|Strong=0376 20 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=GEN_49:28!15|MId=o010490280151|Strong=0834|Type=relative 21-23 כְּבִרְכָת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=GEN_49:28!16|MId=o010490280161|Strong=3509a 22 בִרְכָת בְּרָכָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:28!16|MId=o010490280162|Strong=1293 23 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.blessing|Ref=GEN_49:28!16|MId=o010490280163|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 בֵּרַ֥ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he.blessed|Ref=GEN_49:28!17|MId=o010490280171|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:010490280111;A1:010490280182;|Type=qatal 25-26 אֹתָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_49:28!18|MId=o010490280181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 26 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_49:28!18|MId=o010490280182|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:28!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דִּבֶּר *he spoke* | qatal · piel | אֲבִי *father* | | | | | יְבָרֶךְ *he blessed* | wayyiqtol · piel | אֲבִי *father* | ָם *them* | | | | בֵּרַךְ *he blessed* | qatal · piel | אֲבִי *father* | ָֽם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
