Genesis 9:5 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN.9.5/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Genesis](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/) / [chapter 9](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/GEN/9/) / 9:5 # Genesis 9:5 בְּרֵאשִׁית **Who acts:** I · **What happens:** require · **To what, where:** blood, hand, life This is Genesis 9:5 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — I — and what happens in the verse to blood, hand, life, 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. וְאַ֨ךְ אֶת־דִּמְכֶ֤ם לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם֙ אֶדְרֹ֔שׁ מִיַּ֥ד כָּל־חַיָּ֖ה אֶדְרְשֶׁ֑נּוּ וּמִיַּ֣ד הָֽאָדָ֗ם מִיַּד֙ אִ֣ישׁ אָחִ֔יו אֶדְרֹ֖שׁ אֶת־נֶ֥פֶשׁ הָֽאָדָֽם׃ [And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, will I require the life of man.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.222/) ## 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:210 # text = וְאַ֨ךְ אֶת־דִּמְכֶ֤ם לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם֙ אֶדְרֹ֔שׁ מִיַּ֥ד כָּל־חַיָּ֖ה אֶדְרְשֶׁ֑נּוּ וּמִיַּ֣ד הָֽאָדָ֗ם מִיַּד֙ אִ֣ישׁ אָחִ֔יו אֶדְרֹ֖שׁ אֶת־נֶ֥פֶשׁ הָֽאָדָֽם׃ # verse = GEN.9.5 1-2 וְאַ֨ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_9:5!1|MId=o010090050011|Strong=2050b 2 אַ֨ךְ אַךְ ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=nevertheless|Ref=GEN_9:5!1|MId=o010090050012|Strong=0389 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_9:5!2|MId=o010090050021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 דִּמְכֶ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 דִּמ דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=blood|Ref=GEN_9:5!3|MId=o010090050031|Strong=1818 5 ְכֶ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_9:5!3|MId=o010090050032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6-8 לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=GEN_9:5!4|MId=o010090050041|Strong=3807a 7 נַפְשֹֽׁתֵי נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=lives|Ref=GEN_9:5!4|MId=o010090050042|Strong=5315 8 כֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=GEN_9:5!4|MId=o010090050043|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9 אֶדְרֹ֔שׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.seek|Ref=GEN_9:5!5|MId=o010090050051|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:010090010021;A1:010090050031;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 מִיַּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=GEN_9:5!6|MId=o010090050061|Strong=4480 11 יַּ֥ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_9:5!6|MId=o010090050062|Strong=3027 12 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.every|Ref=GEN_9:5!7|MId=o010090050071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 13 חַיָּ֖ה חַיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=animal|Ref=GEN_9:5!8|MId=o010090050081|Strong=2416c 14-15 אֶדְרְשֶׁ֑נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֶדְרְשׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=GEN_9:5!9|MId=o010090050091|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:010090010021;A1:010090050092;|Type=yiqtol 15 ֶ֑נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=will.seek.it|Ref=GEN_9:5!9|MId=o010090050092|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 16-18 וּמִיַּ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=GEN_9:5!10|MId=o010090050101|Strong=2050b 17 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=GEN_9:5!10|MId=o010090050102|Strong=4480 18 יַּ֣ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=GEN_9:5!10|MId=o010090050103|Strong=3027 19-20 הָֽאָדָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=GEN_9:5!11|MId=o010090050111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אָדָ֗ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=GEN_9:5!11|MId=o010090050112|Strong=0120 21-22 מִיַּד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=GEN_9:5!12|MId=o010090050121|Strong=4480 22 יַּד֙ יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 nmod _ Gloss=hand|Ref=GEN_9:5!12|MId=o010090050122|Strong=3027 23 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.each|Ref=GEN_9:5!13|MId=o010090050131|Strong=0376 24-25 אָחִ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אָחִ֔י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=GEN_9:5!14|MId=o010090050141|Strong=0251 25 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_9:5!14|MId=o010090050142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 אֶדְרֹ֖שׁ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 conj _ Gloss=I.will.seek|Ref=GEN_9:5!15|MId=o010090050151|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:010090010021;A1:010090050171;|Type=yiqtol 27 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_9:5!16|MId=o010090050161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 28 נֶ֥פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 26 obj _ Gloss=the.life|Ref=GEN_9:5!17|MId=o010090050171|Strong=5315 29-30 הָֽאָדָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=GEN_9:5!18|MId=o010090050181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 אָדָֽם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=GEN_9:5!18|MId=o010090050182|Strong=0120 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=GEN_9:5!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶדְרֹשׁ *I will seek* | yiqtol · qal | | דִּמ *blood* | | | | אֶדְרְשׁ *I* | yiqtol · qal | | ֶנּוּ *will seek it* | | | | אֶדְרֹשׁ *I will seek* | yiqtol · qal | | נֶפֶשׁ *the life* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
