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 — God, cattle, waters — and what happens in the verse to Noah, ark, wind, earth, 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. וַיִּזְכֹּ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־נֹ֔חַ וְאֵ֤ת כָּל־הַֽחַיָּה֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתּ֖וֹ בַּתֵּבָ֑ה וַיַּעֲבֵ֨ר אֱלֹהִ֥ים ר֙וּחַ֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וַיָּשֹׁ֖כּוּ הַמָּֽיִם׃ [And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.196/) ## 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:184 # text = וַיִּזְכֹּ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־נֹ֔חַ וְאֵ֤ת כָּל־הַֽחַיָּה֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתּ֖וֹ בַּתֵּבָ֑ה וַיַּעֲבֵ֨ר אֱלֹהִ֥ים ר֙וּחַ֙ עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ וַיָּשֹׁ֖כּוּ הַמָּֽיִם׃ # verse = GEN.8.1 1-2 וַיִּזְכֹּ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_8:1!1|MId=o010080010011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּזְכֹּ֤ר זָכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.remembered|Ref=GEN_8:1!1|MId=o010080010012|Strong=2142|Frame=A0:010080010021;A1:010080010041;010080010072;010080010102;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֱלֹהִים֙ אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_8:1!2|MId=o010080010021|Strong=0430 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_8:1!3|MId=o010080010031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5 נֹ֔חַ נֹחַ PROPN _ _ 2 obj _ Gloss=Noah|Ref=GEN_8:1!4|MId=o010080010041|Strong=5146 6-7 וְאֵ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_8:1!5|MId=o010080010051|Strong=2050b 7 אֵ֤ת אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_8:1!5|MId=o010080010052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 8 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=GEN_8:1!6|MId=o010080010061|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַֽחַיָּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_8:1!7|MId=o010080010071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 חַיָּה֙ חַיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=animal|Ref=GEN_8:1!7|MId=o010080010072|Strong=2416c 11-12 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_8:1!8|MId=o010080010081|Strong=2050b 12 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_8:1!8|MId=o010080010082|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=GEN_8:1!9|MId=o010080010091|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_8:1!10|MId=o010080010101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 בְּהֵמָ֔ה בְּהֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=livestock|Ref=GEN_8:1!10|MId=o010080010102|Strong=0929 16 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=GEN_8:1!11|MId=o010080010111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17-18 אִתּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=[were].with|Ref=GEN_8:1!12|MId=o010080010121|Strong=0854 18 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=GEN_8:1!12|MId=o010080010122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-21 בַּתֵּבָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_8:1!13|MId=o010080010131|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_8:1!13|MId=o010080010131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 תֵּבָ֑ה תֵּבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=ark|Ref=GEN_8:1!13|MId=o010080010132|Strong=8392 22-23 וַיַּעֲבֵ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_8:1!14|MId=o010080010141|Strong=2050b 23 יַּעֲבֵ֨ר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.made.to.pass|Ref=GEN_8:1!14|MId=o010080010142|Strong=5674|Frame=AA:010080010151;A0:010080010161;|Type=wayyiqtol 24 אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=GEN_8:1!15|MId=o010080010151|Strong=0430 25 ר֙וּחַ֙ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=a.wind|Ref=GEN_8:1!16|MId=o010080010161|Strong=7307 26 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=GEN_8:1!17|MId=o010080010171|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_8:1!18|MId=o010080010181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=GEN_8:1!18|MId=o010080010182|Strong=0776 29-30 וַיָּשֹׁ֖כּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_8:1!19|MId=o010080010191|Strong=2050b 30 יָּשֹׁ֖כּוּ שָׁכַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.subsided|Ref=GEN_8:1!19|MId=o010080010192|Strong=7918|Frame=A0:010080010202;|Type=wayyiqtol 31-32 הַמָּֽיִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=GEN_8:1!20|MId=o010080010201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 מָּֽיִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 nsubj _ Gloss=waters|Ref=GEN_8:1!20|MId=o010080010202|Strong=4325 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=GEN_8:1!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
