Genesis 43:4 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: thou, we · What happens: send, go down, buy · To what, where: brother, food, thee

This is Genesis 43:4 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 — thou, we — and what happens in the verse to brother, food, thee, 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.

אִם־יֶשְׁךָ֛ מְשַׁלֵּ֥חַ אֶת־אָחִ֖ינוּ אִתָּ֑נוּ נֵרְדָ֕ה וְנִשְׁבְּרָ֥ה לְךָ֖ אֹֽכֶל׃

If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;

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

אִם אִיתָךְ מְשַׁלַּח יָת אָחוּנָא עִמָּנָא נֵיחוֹת וְנִזְבֵּן לָךְ עִיבוּרָא

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