Genesis 18:19 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: I, Abraham, men, LORD · What happens: know, command, keep, do, bring, speak · To what, where: Abraham, children, way, righteousness, end · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 18:19 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, Abraham, men, LORD — and what happens in the verse to Abraham, children, way, righteousness, end, 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.

כִּ֣י יְדַעְתִּ֗יו לְמַעַן֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְצַוֶּ֜ה אֶת־בָּנָ֤יו וְאֶת־בֵּיתוֹ֙ אַחֲרָ֔יו וְשָֽׁמְרוּ֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת צְדָקָ֖ה וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט לְמַ֗עַן הָבִ֤יא יְהוָה֙ עַל־אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֖ר עָלָֽיו׃

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.'

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.

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

אֲרֵי גְּלִי קֳדָמַי (גי' רמב''ן יְדַעְתִּנֵּהּ) בְּדִיל דִּי יְפַקֵּד יָת בְּנוֹהִי וְיָת אֱנַשׁ בֵּיתֵהּ בַּתְרוֹהִי וְיִטְּרוּן אָרְחָן דְּתַקְּנָן קֳדָם יְיָ לְמֶעֱבַּד צְדַקְתָּא וְדִינָא בְּדִיל אַיְיתִי יְיָ עַל אַבְרָהָם יָת דְּמַלֵּל עֲלוֹהִי
