Genesis 26:9 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Abimelech, thou, Isaac, I · What happens: call, say, be, die · To what, where: Isaac, wife, sister · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 26:9 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, thou, Isaac, I — and what happens in the verse to Isaac, wife, sister, 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.

וַיִּקְרָ֨א אֲבִימֶ֜לֶךְ לְיִצְחָ֗ק וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַ֣ךְ הִנֵּ֤ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֙ הִ֔וא וְאֵ֥יךְ אָמַ֖רְתָּ אֲחֹ֣תִי הִ֑וא וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ יִצְחָ֔ק כִּ֣י אָמַ֔רְתִּי פֶּן־אָמ֖וּת עָלֶֽיהָ׃

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said: 'Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou: She is my sister?' And Isaac said unto him: 'Because I said: Lest I die because of her.'

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)
יִּקְרָא he summoned	wayyiqtol · qal	אֲבִימֶלֶךְ Abimelech
יֹּאמֶר he said	wayyiqtol · qal	אֲבִימֶלֶךְ Abimelech
אָמַרְתָּ did you say	qatal · qal	יִצְחָק Isaac	אֲחֹת sister
יֹּאמֶר he said	wayyiqtol · qal	יִצְחָק Isaac

אָמוּת I should die	yiqtol · qal	יִצְחָק Isaac

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

וּקְרָא אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לְיִצְחָק וַאֲמַר בְּרַם הָא אִתְּתָךְ הִיא וְאֶכְדֵּין אֲמַרְתָּ אֲחָתִי הִיא וַאֲמַר לֵהּ יִצְחָק אֲרֵי אֲמָרִית דִּלְמָא אֵימוּת עֲלַהּ

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.

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said: 'Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou: She is my sister?' And Isaac said unto him: 'Because I said: Lest I die because of her.'
