Genesis 35:18 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: soul, Rachel, father · What happens: come, pass, departing, die, call, name · To what, where: way, name · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 35:18 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 — soul, Rachel, father — and what happens in the verse to way, name, 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.

וַיְהִ֞י בְּצֵ֤את נַפְשָׁהּ֙ כִּ֣י מֵ֔תָה וַתִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ בֶּנ־אוֹנִ֑יבֶּנ־אוֹנִ֑י וְאָבִ֖יו קָֽרָא־ל֥וֹ בִנְיָמִֽין׃

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing — for she died — that she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

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)
צֵאת went out	infinitive construct · qal	נַפְשׁ life
מֵתָה she died	qatal · qal
תִּקְרָא she called	wayyiqtol · qal		שְׁמ name
קָֽרָא־ he called	qatal · qal		ל (to)

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 בְּמִפַּק נַפְשַׁהּ אֲרֵי מִיתַת (נ''י מַיְתָא) וּקְרַת שְׁמֵהּ בַּר דְוָי וַאֲבוּהִי קְרָא לֵהּ בִּנְיָמִין

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