Genesis 25:3 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Jokshan, sons · What happens: beget, be · To what, where: Sheba, Asshurim

This is Genesis 25:3 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 — Jokshan, sons — and what happens in the verse to Sheba, Asshurim, 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.

וְיָקְשָׁ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־שְׁבָ֖א וְאֶת־דְּדָ֑ן וּבְנֵ֣י דְדָ֔ן הָי֛וּ אַשּׁוּרִ֥ם וּלְטוּשִׁ֖ים וּלְאֻמִּֽים׃

And Jokshan begot Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

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: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יָלַד he fathered	qatal · qal	יָקְשָׁן Jokshan	שְׁבָא Sheba + דְּדָן Dedan
הָיוּ they were	qatal · qal	בְנֵי the sons

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

וְיָקְשָׁן אוֹלִיד יָת שְׁבָא וְיָת דְּדָן וּבְנֵי דְדָן הֲווֹ לְמַשִּׁירְיָן וְלִשְׁכוּנִין וּלְּנַגְוָן

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