Genesis 21:29 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Abimelech, seven ewe lambs, thou · What happens: say, mean, set · To what, where: seven ewe lambs · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 21:29 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 — Abimelech, seven ewe lambs, thou — and what happens in the verse to seven ewe lambs, 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.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֲבִימֶ֖לֶךְ אֶל־אַבְרָהָ֑ם מָ֣ה הֵ֗נָּה שֶׁ֤בַע כְּבָשֹׂת֙ הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִצַּ֖בְתָּ לְבַדָּֽנָה׃

And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What mean these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'

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: wh-question
act: ask
voice: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · narrate · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יֹּאמֶר he said	wayyiqtol · qal	אֲבִימֶלֶךְ Abimelech
הִצַּבְתָּ you have set	qatal · hiphil	כְּבָשֹׂת ewe-lambs			אַבְרָהָם Abraham

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 אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לְאַבְרָהָם מָה אִנּוּן שְׁבַע חוּרְפַן אִלֵּין דַּאֲקֵמְתָּא בִּלְחוֹדֵיהֶן

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

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.
