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 — father, cave — and what happens in the verse to tribes, I, me, cave, field, 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. וַיְצַ֣ו אוֹתָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ אֲנִי֙ נֶאֱסָ֣ף אֶל־עַמִּ֔י קִבְר֥וּ אֹתִ֖י אֶל־אֲבֹתָ֑י אֶל־הַ֨מְּעָרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּשְׂדֵ֖ה עֶפְר֥וֹן הַֽחִתִּֽי׃ [And he charged them, and said unto them: 'I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1628/) ## 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:1502 # text = וַיְצַ֣ו אוֹתָ֗ם וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵהֶם֙ אֲנִי֙ נֶאֱסָ֣ף אֶל־עַמִּ֔י קִבְר֥וּ אֹתִ֖י אֶל־אֲבֹתָ֑י אֶל־הַ֨מְּעָרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בִּשְׂדֵ֖ה עֶפְר֥וֹן הַֽחִתִּֽי׃ # verse = GEN.49.29 1-2 וַיְצַ֣ו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:29!1|MId=o010490290011|Strong=2050b 2 יְצַ֣ו צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.commanded|Ref=GEN_49:29!1|MId=o010490290012|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:010490280111;A1:010490290022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אוֹתָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_49:29!2|MId=o010490290021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ָ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_49:29!2|MId=o010490290022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5-6 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:29!3|MId=o010490290031|Strong=2050b 6 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=GEN_49:29!3|MId=o010490290032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010490280111;|Type=wayyiqtol 7-8 אֲלֵהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:29!4|MId=o010490290041|Strong=0413 8 ֵהֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=GEN_49:29!4|MId=o010490290042|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 אֲנִי֙ אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_49:29!5|MId=o010490290051|Strong=0589|Type=personal 10 נֶאֱסָ֣ף אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 6 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].about.to.be.gathered|Ref=GEN_49:29!6|MId=o010490290061|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:010490290051;|Type=participle_passive 11 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_49:29!7|MId=o010490290071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 עַמִּ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=GEN_49:29!8|MId=o010490290081|Strong=5971a 13 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_49:29!8|MId=o010490290082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 קִבְר֥וּ קָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 parataxis _ Gloss=bury|Ref=GEN_49:29!9|MId=o010490290091|Strong=6912|Frame=A0:010490010041;A1:010490290102;|Type=imperative 15-16 אֹתִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_49:29!10|MId=o010490290101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=GEN_49:29!10|MId=o010490290102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=GEN_49:29!11|MId=o010490290111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 אֲבֹתָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֲבֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=fathers|Ref=GEN_49:29!12|MId=o010490290121|Strong=0001 19 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=GEN_49:29!12|MId=o010490290122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=GEN_49:29!13|MId=o010490290131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הַ֨מְּעָרָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ֨ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_49:29!14|MId=o010490290141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 מְּעָרָ֔ה מְעָרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=cave|Ref=GEN_49:29!14|MId=o010490290142|Strong=4631 23 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_49:29!15|MId=o010490290151|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24-25 בִּשְׂדֵ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=GEN_49:29!16|MId=o010490290161|Strong=0871a 25 שְׂדֵ֖ה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.field|Ref=GEN_49:29!16|MId=o010490290162|Strong=7704 26 עֶפְר֥וֹן עֶפְרוֹן PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Ephron|Ref=GEN_49:29!17|MId=o010490290171|Strong=6085 27-28 הַֽחִתִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_49:29!18|MId=o010490290181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 חִתִּֽי חִתִּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 appos _ Gloss=Hittite|Ref=GEN_49:29!18|MId=o010490290182|Strong=2850|Type=gentilic 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:29!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְצַו *he commanded* | wayyiqtol · piel | | ָם *them* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | נֶאֱסָף *\[am\] about to be gathered* | participle passive · niphal | | אֲנִי *I* | | | | קִבְרוּ *bury* | imperative · qal | | ִי *me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
