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 — inhabitants, This, Abel mizraim — and what happens in the verse to mourning, floor, grievous mourning, name, 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. וַיַּ֡רְא יוֹשֵׁב֩ הָאָ֨רֶץ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֜י אֶת־הָאֵ֗בֶל בְּגֹ֙רֶנ֙ הָֽאָטָ֔ד גֹ֙רֶנ֙ הָֽאָטָ֔ד וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֵֽבֶל־כָּבֵ֥ד זֶ֖ה לְמִצְרָ֑יִם עַל־כֵּ֞ן קָרָ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ אָבֵ֣ל מִצְרַ֔יִם אָבֵ֣ל מִצְרַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעֵ֥בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ [And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said: 'This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:GEN:1517 # text = וַיַּ֡רְא יוֹשֵׁב֩ הָאָ֨רֶץ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֜י אֶת־הָאֵ֗בֶל בְּגֹ֙רֶנ֙ הָֽאָטָ֔ד גֹ֙רֶנ֙ הָֽאָטָ֔ד וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֵֽבֶל־כָּבֵ֥ד זֶ֖ה לְמִצְרָ֑יִם עַל־כֵּ֞ן קָרָ֤א שְׁמָהּ֙ אָבֵ֣ל מִצְרַ֔יִם אָבֵ֣ל מִצְרַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעֵ֥בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ # verse = GEN.50.11 1-2 וַיַּ֡רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_50:11!1|MId=o010500110011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֡רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=GEN_50:11!1|MId=o010500110012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:010500110021;A1:010500110062;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יוֹשֵׁב֩ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.inhabitant[s]|Ref=GEN_50:11!2|MId=o010500110021|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:010500110042;|Type=participle_active 4-5 הָאָ֨רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_50:11!3|MId=o010500110031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אָ֨רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=GEN_50:11!3|MId=o010500110032|Strong=0776 6-7 הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_50:11!4|MId=o010500110041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 כְּנַעֲנִ֜י כְּנַעֲנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=Canaanite[s]|Ref=GEN_50:11!4|MId=o010500110042|Strong=3669|Type=gentilic 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_50:11!5|MId=o010500110051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָאֵ֗בֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_50:11!6|MId=o010500110061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אֵ֗בֶל אֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=mourning|Ref=GEN_50:11!6|MId=o010500110062|Strong=0060 11-12 בְּגֹ֙רֶנ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=GEN_50:11!7|MId=o010500110071|Strong=0871a 12 גֹ֙רֶנ֙ גֹּרֶן NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.threshing|Ref=GEN_50:11!7|MId=o010500110072 13 הָֽאָטָ֔ד _ NOUN _ _ 12 flat _ Ref=GEN_50:11!7 14 גֹ֙רֶנ֙ הַ PROPN _ _ 12 nmod _ Gloss=floor.of.Atad|Ref=GEN_50:11!8|MId=o010500110081 15 הָֽאָטָ֔ד _ PROPN _ _ 14 flat:name _ Ref=GEN_50:11!8 16-17 וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_50:11!9|MId=o010500110091|Strong=2050b 17 יֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=GEN_50:11!9|MId=o010500110092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010500110021;|Type=wayyiqtol 18 אֵֽבֶל־ אֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].mourning|Ref=GEN_50:11!10|MId=o010500110101|Strong=0060|SpaceAfter=No 19 כָּבֵ֥ד כָּבֵד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 amod _ Gloss=heavy|Ref=GEN_50:11!11|MId=o010500110111|Strong=3515|Type=adjective 20 זֶ֖ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 18 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=GEN_50:11!12|MId=o010500110121|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 21-22 לְמִצְרָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=GEN_50:11!13|MId=o010500110131|Strong=3807a 22 מִצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=GEN_50:11!13|MId=o010500110132|Strong=4714 23 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=GEN_50:11!14|MId=o010500110141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 24 כֵּ֞ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 2 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_50:11!15|MId=o010500110151|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 25 קָרָ֤א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 parataxis _ Gloss=someone.called|Ref=GEN_50:11!16|MId=o010500110161|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:;A1:010500110161;|Type=qatal 26-27 שְׁמָהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=GEN_50:11!17|MId=o010500110171|Strong=8034 27 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=GEN_50:11!17|MId=o010500110172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 28 אָבֵ֣ל אָבֵל PROPN _ _ 25 xcomp _ Gloss=Abel|Ref=GEN_50:11!18|MId=o010500110181 29 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 28 flat:name _ Ref=GEN_50:11!18 30 אָבֵ֣ל אָבֵל PROPN _ _ 28 nmod _ Gloss=Mizraim|Ref=GEN_50:11!19|MId=o010500110191 31 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 30 flat:name _ Ref=GEN_50:11!19 32 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 34 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_50:11!20|MId=o010500110201|Strong=0834|Type=relative 33-34 בְּעֵ֥בֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=GEN_50:11!21|MId=o010500110211|Strong=0871a 34 עֵ֥בֶר עֵבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.other.side|Ref=GEN_50:11!21|MId=o010500110212|Strong=5676 35-36 הַיַּרְדֵּֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 35 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 36 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_50:11!22|MId=o010500110221|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 36 יַּרְדֵּֽן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 34 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.Jordan|Ref=GEN_50:11!22|MId=o010500110222|Strong=3383 37 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=GEN_50:11!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
