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 — two — and what happens in the verse to wives, 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. מֵהָע֣וֹף לְמִינֵ֗הוּ וּמִן־הַבְּהֵמָה֙ לְמִינָ֔הּ מִכֹּ֛ל רֶ֥מֶשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֖ה לְמִינֵ֑הוּ שְׁנַ֧יִם מִכֹּ֛ל יָבֹ֥אוּ אֵלֶ֖יךָ לְהַֽחֲיֽוֹת׃ [Of the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.169/) ## 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:157 # text = מֵהָע֣וֹף לְמִינֵ֗הוּ וּמִן־הַבְּהֵמָה֙ לְמִינָ֔הּ מִכֹּ֛ל רֶ֥מֶשׂ הָֽאֲדָמָ֖ה לְמִינֵ֑הוּ שְׁנַ֧יִם מִכֹּ֛ל יָבֹ֥אוּ אֵלֶ֖יךָ לְהַֽחֲיֽוֹת׃ # verse = GEN.6.20 1-3 מֵהָע֣וֹף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_6:20!1|MId=o010060200011|Strong=4480 2 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_6:20!1|MId=o010060200012|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 ע֣וֹף עוֹף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 dislocated _ Gloss=bird[s]|Ref=GEN_6:20!1|MId=o010060200013|Strong=5775 4-6 לְמִינֵ֗הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_6:20!2|MId=o010060200021|Strong=3807a 5 מִינ מִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nmod _ Gloss=kind|Ref=GEN_6:20!2|MId=o010060200022|Strong=4327 6 ֵ֗הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=GEN_6:20!2|MId=o010060200023|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 7-8 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_6:20!3|MId=o010060200031|Strong=2050b 8 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_6:20!3|MId=o010060200032|Strong=4480 9-10 הַבְּהֵמָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_6:20!4|MId=o010060200041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 בְּהֵמָה֙ בְּהֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=animal[s]|Ref=GEN_6:20!4|MId=o010060200042|Strong=0929 11-13 לְמִינָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_6:20!5|MId=o010060200051|Strong=3807a 12 מִינ מִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=kind|Ref=GEN_6:20!5|MId=o010060200052|Strong=4327 13 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=GEN_6:20!5|MId=o010060200053|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 14-15 מִכֹּ֛ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_6:20!6|MId=o010060200061|Strong=4480 15 כֹּ֛ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_6:20!6|MId=o010060200062|Strong=3605 16 רֶ֥מֶשׂ רֶמֶשׂ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(the).creeping.thing|Ref=GEN_6:20!7|MId=o010060200071|Strong=7431 17-18 הָֽאֲדָמָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_6:20!8|MId=o010060200081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אֲדָמָ֖ה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ground|Ref=GEN_6:20!8|MId=o010060200082|Strong=0127 19-21 לְמִינֵ֑הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_6:20!9|MId=o010060200091|Strong=3807a 20 מִינ מִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nmod _ Gloss=kind|Ref=GEN_6:20!9|MId=o010060200092|Strong=4327 21 ֵ֑הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=GEN_6:20!9|MId=o010060200093|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 22 שְׁנַ֧יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 25 nsubj _ Gloss=two|Ref=GEN_6:20!10|MId=o010060200101|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 23-24 מִכֹּ֛ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_6:20!11|MId=o010060200111|Strong=4480 24 כֹּ֛ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nmod _ Gloss=everything|Ref=GEN_6:20!11|MId=o010060200112|Strong=3605 25 יָבֹ֥אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.come|Ref=GEN_6:20!12|MId=o010060200121|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:010060200101;|Type=yiqtol 26-27 אֵלֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אֵלֶ֖י אֶל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_6:20!13|MId=o010060200131|Strong=0413 27 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=GEN_6:20!13|MId=o010060200132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 28-29 לְהַֽחֲיֽוֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=GEN_6:20!14|MId=o010060200141|Strong=3807a 29 הַֽחֲיֽוֹת חָיָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 25 advcl _ Gloss=preserve.alive|Ref=GEN_6:20!14|MId=o010060200142|Strong=2421|Frame=AA:010060200132;A0:010060200101;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=GEN_6:20!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָבֹאוּ *they will come* | yiqtol · qal | שְׁנַיִם *two* | | | | | הַֽחֲיֽוֹת *preserve alive* | infinitive construct · hiphil | שְׁנַיִם *two* | | | ךָ *you* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
