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 — Whoso, man — and what happens in the verse to blood, man, image, God, 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. שֹׁפֵךְ֙ דַּ֣ם הָֽאָדָ֔ם בָּֽאָדָ֖ם דָּמ֣וֹ יִשָּׁפֵ֑ךְ כִּ֚י בְּצֶ֣לֶם אֱלֹהִ֔ים עָשָׂ֖ה אֶת־הָאָדָֽם׃ [Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.223/) ## 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:211 # text = שֹׁפֵךְ֙ דַּ֣ם הָֽאָדָ֔ם בָּֽאָדָ֖ם דָּמ֣וֹ יִשָּׁפֵ֑ךְ כִּ֚י בְּצֶ֣לֶם אֱלֹהִ֔ים עָשָׂ֖ה אֶת־הָאָדָֽם׃ # verse = GEN.9.6 1 שֹׁפֵךְ֙ שָׁפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 dislocated _ Gloss=the.[one.who].sheds|Ref=GEN_9:6!1|MId=o010090060011|Strong=8210|Type=participle_active 2 דַּ֣ם דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).the.blood|Ref=GEN_9:6!2|MId=o010090060021|Strong=1818 3-4 הָֽאָדָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=GEN_9:6!3|MId=o010090060031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=GEN_9:6!3|MId=o010090060032|Strong=0120 5-7 בָּֽאָדָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בָּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=GEN_9:6!4|MId=o010090060041|Strong=0871a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_9:6!4|MId=o010090060041ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אָדָ֖ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=GEN_9:6!4|MId=o010090060042|Strong=0120 8-9 דָּמ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 דָּמ דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=blood|Ref=GEN_9:6!5|MId=o010090060051|Strong=1818 9 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=GEN_9:6!5|MId=o010090060052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 יִשָּׁפֵ֑ךְ שָׁפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.shed|Ref=GEN_9:6!6|MId=o010090060061|Strong=8210|Frame=A1:010090060051;|Type=yiqtol 11 כִּ֚י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=GEN_9:6!7|MId=o010090060071|Strong=3588 12-13 בְּצֶ֣לֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=GEN_9:6!8|MId=o010090060081|Strong=0871a 13 צֶ֣לֶם צֶלֶם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=the.image|Ref=GEN_9:6!8|MId=o010090060082|Strong=6754 14 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.God|Ref=GEN_9:6!9|MId=o010090060091|Strong=0430 15 עָשָׂ֖ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 advcl _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=GEN_9:6!10|MId=o010090060101|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:010090060091;A1:010090060122;|Type=qatal 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=GEN_9:6!11|MId=o010090060111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הָאָדָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=GEN_9:6!12|MId=o010090060121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אָדָֽם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=GEN_9:6!12|MId=o010090060122|Strong=0120 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=GEN_9:6!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִשָּׁפֵךְ *it will be shed* | yiqtol · niphal | | דָּמ *blood* | | | | עָשָׂה *he made* | qatal · qal | אֱלֹהִים *of God* | אָדָֽם *humankind* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
