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 — days, Joseph, I — and what happens in the verse to favour, eyes, you, ears, 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. וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ֙ יְמֵ֣י בְכִית֔וֹ וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יוֹסֵ֔ף אֶל־בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אִם־נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם דַּבְּרוּ־נָ֕א בְּאָזְנֵ֥י פַרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃ [And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: 'If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.1638/) ## 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:1510 # text = וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ֙ יְמֵ֣י בְכִית֔וֹ וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יוֹסֵ֔ף אֶל־בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר אִם־נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם דַּבְּרוּ־נָ֕א בְּאָזְנֵ֥י פַרְעֹ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = GEN.50.4 1-2 וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_50:4!1|MId=o010500040011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּֽעַבְרוּ֙ עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.passed|Ref=GEN_50:4!1|MId=o010500040012|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:010500040021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְמֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=GEN_50:4!2|MId=o010500040021|Strong=3117 4-5 בְכִית֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְכִית בְּכִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.weeping|Ref=GEN_50:4!3|MId=o010500040031|Strong=1068 5 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_50:4!3|MId=o010500040032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-7 וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_50:4!4|MId=o010500040041|Strong=2050b 7 יְדַבֵּ֣ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=GEN_50:4!4|MId=o010500040042|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:010500040051;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 יוֹסֵ֔ף יוֹסֵף PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Joseph|Ref=GEN_50:4!5|MId=o010500040051|Strong=3130 9 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_50:4!6|MId=o010500040061|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 10 בֵּ֥ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.household|Ref=GEN_50:4!7|MId=o010500040071|Strong=1004 11 פַּרְעֹ֖ה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Pharaoh|Ref=GEN_50:4!8|MId=o010500040081|Strong=6547 12-13 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 21 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_50:4!9|MId=o010500040091|Strong=3807a 13 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 12 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_50:4!9|MId=o010500040092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010500040051;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=GEN_50:4!10|MId=o010500040101|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 15 נָ֨א נָא INTJ _ _ 16 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_50:4!11|MId=o010500040111|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 16 מָצָ֤אתִי מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 21 advcl _ Gloss=I.have.found|Ref=GEN_50:4!12|MId=o010500040121|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:010500040051;A1:010500040131;|Type=qatal 17 חֵן֙ חֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=favor|Ref=GEN_50:4!13|MId=o010500040131|Strong=2580 18-20 בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_50:4!14|MId=o010500040141|Strong=0871a 19 עֵ֣ינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 16 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=GEN_50:4!14|MId=o010500040142|Strong=5869 20 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_50:4!14|MId=o010500040143|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21 דַּבְּרוּ־ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 7 ccomp _ Gloss=speak|Ref=GEN_50:4!15|MId=o010500040151|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:010500040071;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 22 נָ֕א נָא INTJ _ _ 21 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=GEN_50:4!16|MId=o010500040161|Strong=4994|Type=exhortation 23-24 בְּאָזְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_50:4!17|MId=o010500040171|Strong=0871a 24 אָזְנֵ֥י אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 21 obl _ Gloss=the.ears|Ref=GEN_50:4!17|MId=o010500040172|Strong=0241 25 פַרְעֹ֖ה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Pharaoh|Ref=GEN_50:4!18|MId=o010500040181|Strong=6547 26-27 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 21 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=GEN_50:4!19|MId=o010500040191|Strong=3807a 27 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 26 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=GEN_50:4!19|MId=o010500040192|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:010500040071;|Type=infinitive_construct 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=GEN_50:4!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - hedged: yes (נָא) - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּֽעַבְרוּ *they passed* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְמֵי *the days* | | | | | יְדַבֵּר *he spoke* | wayyiqtol · piel | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | | | | | מָצָאתִי *I have found* | qatal · qal | יוֹסֵף *Joseph* | חֵן *favor* | | | | דַּבְּרוּ־ *speak* | imperative · piel | בֵּית *the household* | | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | בֵּית *the household* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
