Genesis 12:17 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: LORD · What happens: plague · To what, where: Pharaoh

This is Genesis 12:17 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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to Pharaoh, 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.

וַיְנַגַּ֨ע יְהוָ֧ה ׀ אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֛ה נְגָעִ֥ים גְּדֹלִ֖ים וְאֶת־בֵּית֑וֹ עַל־דְּבַ֥ר שָׂרַ֖י אֵ֥שֶׁת אַבְרָֽם׃

And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

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)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יְנַגַּע he struck	wayyiqtol · piel	יְהוָה Yahweh	פַּרְעֹה Pharaoh + בֵּית house

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

וְאַיְתִי יְיָ עַל פַּרְעֹה מַכְתָּשִׁין רַבְרְבִין וְעַל אֱנַשׁ בֵּיתֵהּ עַל עֵיסַק שָׂרַי אִתַּת אַבְרָם

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