Genesis 37:3 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Israel, Joseph · What happens: love, be, make · To what, where: Joseph, son, coat, Israel

This is Genesis 37:3 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 — Israel, Joseph — and what happens in the verse to Joseph, son, coat, Israel, 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.

וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אָהַ֤ב אֶת־יוֹסֵף֙ מִכָּל־בָּנָ֔יו כִּֽי־בֶן־זְקֻנִ֥ים ה֖וּא ל֑וֹ וְעָ֥שָׂה ל֖וֹ כְּתֹ֥נֶת פַּסִּֽים׃

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colours.

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: assert
voice: narrator
speech: narration
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
אָהַב he loved	qatal · qal	יִשְׂרָאֵל Israel	יוֹסֵף Joseph
עָשָׂה he made	qatal · qal	יִשְׂרָאֵל Israel	כְּתֹנֶת a long garment

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

וְיִשְׂרָאֵל רְחֵם יָת יוֹסֵף מִכָּל בְּנוֹהִי אֲרֵי בַר חַכִּים הוּא לֵהּ וַעֲבַד לֵהּ כִּתּוּנָא דְפַסֵי

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