Genesis 1:27 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: God · What happens: create, image · To what, where: man, own image, image, cattle, God

This is Genesis 1:27 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 — God — and what happens in the verse to man, own image, image, cattle, 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.

וַיִּבְרָ֨א אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֶת־הָֽאָדָם֙ בְּצַלְמ֔וֹ בְּצֶ֥לֶם אֱלֹהִ֖ים בָּרָ֣א אֹת֑וֹ זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בָּרָ֥א אֹתָֽם׃

And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

The 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.

Pragmatics

form: statement
act: narrate
voice: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
יִּבְרָא he created	wayyiqtol · qal	אֱלֹהִים God	אָדָם humankind
בָּרָא he created	qatal · qal	אֱלֹהִים God	וֹ it

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

Targum Onkelos

וּבְרָא יְיָ יָת אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵהּ בְּצַלְמָא דַיְיָ בְּרָא יָתֵהּ דְּכַר וְנוּקְבָא בְּרָא יָתְהוֹן

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
