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 — anger, I, brethren — and what happens in the verse to brethren, Jacob, Israel, 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. אָר֤וּר אַפָּם֙ כִּ֣י עָ֔ז וְעֶבְרָתָ֖ם כִּ֣י קָשָׁ֑תָה אֲחַלְּקֵ֣ם בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב וַאֲפִיצֵ֖ם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ס [Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was cruel; I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1605/) ## 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:1480 # text = אָר֤וּר אַפָּם֙ כִּ֣י עָ֔ז וְעֶבְרָתָ֖ם כִּ֣י קָשָׁ֑תָה אֲחַלְּקֵ֣ם בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב וַאֲפִיצֵ֖ם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ס # verse = GEN.49.7 1 אָר֤וּר אָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[be].cursed|Ref=GEN_49:7!1|MId=o010490070011|Strong=0779|Frame=A1:010490070021;|Type=participle_passive 2-3 אַפָּם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אַפּ אַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 nsubj _ Gloss=anger|Ref=GEN_49:7!2|MId=o010490070021|Strong=0639 3 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_49:7!2|MId=o010490070022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 4 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_49:7!3|MId=o010490070031|Strong=3588 5 עָ֔ז עַז ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=fierce|Ref=GEN_49:7!4|MId=o010490070041|Strong=5794|Type=adjective 6-8 וְעֶבְרָתָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:7!5|MId=o010490070051|Strong=2050b 7 עֶבְרָת עֶבְרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 conj _ Gloss=wrath|Ref=GEN_49:7!5|MId=o010490070052|Strong=5678 8 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=GEN_49:7!5|MId=o010490070053|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_49:7!6|MId=o010490070061|Strong=3588 10 קָשָׁ֑תָה קָשָׁה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=it.is.hard|Ref=GEN_49:7!7|MId=o010490070071|Strong=7185|Frame=A0:010490070052;|Type=qatal 11-12 אֲחַלְּקֵ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֲחַלְּק חָלַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_49:7!8|MId=o010490070081|Strong=2505|Frame=A0:010490040081;A1:010490070082;|Type=yiqtol 12 ֵ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=will.divide.them|Ref=GEN_49:7!8|MId=o010490070082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13-14 בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_49:7!9|MId=o010490070091|Strong=0871a 14 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=GEN_49:7!9|MId=o010490070092|Strong=3290 15-17 וַאֲפִיצֵ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_49:7!10|MId=o010490070101|Strong=2050b 16 אֲפִיצ פּוּץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_49:7!10|MId=o010490070102|Strong=6327|Frame=AA:010490040081;A0:010490070103;|Type=yiqtol 17 ֵ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=will.scatter.them|Ref=GEN_49:7!10|MId=o010490070103|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_49:7!11|MId=o010490070111|Strong=0871a 19 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=GEN_49:7!11|MId=o010490070112|Strong=3478 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:7!11|SpaceAfter=No 21 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=GEN_49:7!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָרוּר *\[be\] cursed* | participle passive · qal | | אַפּ *anger* | | | | קָשָׁתָה *it is hard* | qatal · qal | עֶבְרָת *wrath* | | | | | אֲחַלְּק *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ֵם *will divide them* | | | | אֲפִיצ *I* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֵם *will scatter them* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
