Genesis 20:11 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Abraham, I, fear, things · What happens: say, think, not be, slay, fear · To what, where: place, me, God · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 20:11 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 — Abraham, I, fear, things — and what happens in the verse to place, me, 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.

וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם כִּ֣י אָמַ֗רְתִּי רַ֚ק אֵין־יִרְאַ֣ת אֱלֹהִ֔ים בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וַהֲרָג֖וּנִי עַל־דְּבַ֥ר אִשְׁתִּֽי׃

And Abraham said: 'Because I thought: Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

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: assert
voice: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: yes
the frame alone: decl · narrate · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
יֹּאמֶר he said	wayyiqtol · qal	אַבְרָהָם Abraham
not אָמַרְתִּי I said	qatal · qal	אַבְרָהָם Abraham
הֲרָגוּ they	weqatal · qal		נִי will kill me

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

וַאֲמַר אַבְרָהָם אֲרֵי אֲמָרִית לְחוֹד לֵית דַּחַלְתָּא דַּיְיָ בְּאַתְרָא הָדֵין וְיִקְטְלֻנַּנִי עַל עֵיסַק אִתְּתִי

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