Genesis 26:7 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: men, Isaac, wife · What happens: ask, say, be, fear, kill, look · To what, where: Isaac, sister, wife, me · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 26:7 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 — men, Isaac, wife — and what happens in the verse to Isaac, sister, wife, me, 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.

וַֽיִּשְׁאֲל֞וּ אַנְשֵׁ֤י הַמָּקוֹם֙ לְאִשְׁתּ֔וֹ וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֲחֹ֣תִי הִ֑וא כִּ֤י יָרֵא֙ לֵאמֹ֣ר אִשְׁתִּ֔י פֶּן־יַֽהַרְגֻ֜נִי אַנְשֵׁ֤י הַמָּקוֹם֙ עַל־רִבְקָ֔ה כִּֽי־טוֹבַ֥ת מַרְאֶ֖ה הִֽיא׃

And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said: 'She is my sister'; for he feared to say: 'My wife'; 'lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is fair to look upon.'

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: no
the frame alone: decl · narrate · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
יִּשְׁאֲלוּ they asked	wayyiqtol · qal	אַנְשֵׁי the men
יֹּאמֶר he said	wayyiqtol · qal
יָרֵא he was afraid	qatal · qal
אמֹר say	infinitive construct · qal
יַֽהַרְגֻ they	yiqtol · qal	אַנְשֵׁי the men	נִי should 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

וּשְׁאִילוּ אֲנָשֵׁי אַתְרָא (עַל עֵיסַק אִתְּתֵהּ) לְאִתְּתֵהּ וַאֲמַר אֲחָתִי הִיא אֲרֵי דְחִיל לְמֵימַר אִתְּתִי דִּלְמָא יִקְטְּלֻנַּנִי אֲנָשֵׁי אַתְרָא עַל רִבְקָה אֲרֵי שַׁפִּירַת חֵיזוּ הִיא

And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said: 'She is my sister'; for he feared to say: 'My wife'; 'lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, because she is fair to look upon.'
