Genesis 37:26 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Judah, we · What happens: say, be, slay, conceal · To what, where: profit, brother, blood · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 37:26 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 — Judah, we — and what happens in the verse to profit, brother, blood, 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.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר יְהוּדָ֖ה אֶל־אֶחָ֑יו מַה־בֶּ֗צַע כִּ֤י נַהֲרֹג֙ אֶת־אָחִ֔ינוּ וְכִסִּ֖ינוּ אֶת־דָּמֽוֹ׃

And Judah said unto his brethren: 'What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood?

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

וַאֲמַר יְהוּדָה לַאֲחוֹהִי מָה מָמוֹן נִתְהֲנֵי לָנָא אֲרֵי נִקְטּוֹל יָתּ אָחוּנָא וּנְכַסֵי עַל דְּמֵהּ

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