Genesis 32:12 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: you, I, Esau · What happens: deliver, pray, fear, come, smite · To what, where: me, hand, Thee, Esau

This is Genesis 32:12 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 — you, I, Esau — and what happens in the verse to me, hand, Thee, Esau, 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.

הַצִּילֵ֥נִי נָ֛א מִיַּ֥ד אָחִ֖י מִיַּ֣ד עֵשָׂ֑ו כִּֽי־יָרֵ֤א אָנֹכִי֙ אֹת֔וֹ פֶּן־יָב֣וֹא וְהִכַּ֔נִי אֵ֖ם עַל־בָּנִֽים׃

(32-12) Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.

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: command
act: request
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no
hedged: yes (נָא)

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	who makes it happen (AA)

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

שֵׁזַבְנִי כְעַן מִידָא דְאָחִי מִידָא דְעֵשָׁו אֲרֵי דַחֵל אֲנָא מִנֵּהּ דִּילְמָא יֵיתֵי וְיִמְחִנַּנִי אִמָּא עַל בְּנַיָּא

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