Genesis 29:13 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Laban, Jacob · What happens: come, pass, hear, run, meet, embrace · To what, where: well, tidings, Jacob, house, things, Laban · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 29:13 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 — Laban, Jacob — and what happens in the verse to well, tidings, Jacob, house, things, Laban, 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.

וַיְהִי֩ כִשְׁמֹ֨עַ לָבָ֜ן אֶת־שֵׁ֣מַע ׀ יַעֲקֹ֣ב בֶּן־אֲחֹת֗וֹ וַיָּ֤רָץ לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ וַיְחַבֶּק־לוֹ֙ וַיְנַשֶּׁק־ל֔וֹ וַיְבִיאֵ֖הוּ אֶל־בֵּית֑וֹ וַיְסַפֵּ֣ר לְלָבָ֔ן אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃

And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

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.

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

וַהֲוָה כַּד שְׁמַע לָבָן יָת שֵׁמַע יַעֲקֹב בַּר אֲחָתֵהּ וּרְהַט לְקַדָמוּתֵהּ וְגַפֵּף לֵהּ וְנַשִׁיק לֵהּ וְאַעֲלֵהּ לְבֵיתֵהּ וְאִשְׁתָּעִי לְלָבָן יָת כָּל פִּתְגָמַיָּא הָאִלֵּין
