Genesis 32:4 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Jacob · What happens: send · To what, where: messengers, Esau

This is Genesis 32:4 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 — Jacob — and what happens in the verse to messengers, 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.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח יַעֲקֹ֤ב מַלְאָכִים֙ לְפָנָ֔יו אֶל־עֵשָׂ֖ו אָחִ֑יו אַ֥רְצָה שֵׂעִ֖יר שְׂדֵ֥ה אֱדֽוֹם׃

(32-4) And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

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: narrate
voice: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יִּשְׁלַח he sent	wayyiqtol · qal	יַעֲקֹב Jacob	מַלְאָכִים messengers

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

וּשְׁלַח יַעֲקֹב אִזְגַּדִּין קֳדָמוֹהִי לְוַת עֵשָׂו אֲחוּהִי לְאַרְעָא דְשֵׂעִיר לַחֲקַל דְאֱדוֹם

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