Genesis 46:34 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: ye, servants, shepherd · What happens: say, be, dwell · To what, where: keepers, youth, land, abomination · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 46:34 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 — ye, servants, shepherd — and what happens in the verse to keepers, youth, land, abomination, 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.

וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם אַנְשֵׁ֨י מִקְנֶ֜ה הָי֤וּ עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ מִנְּעוּרֵ֣ינוּ וְעַד־עַ֔תָּה גַּם־אֲנַ֖חְנוּ גַּם־אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בַּעֲב֗וּר תֵּשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֔שֶׁן כִּֽי־תוֹעֲבַ֥ת מִצְרַ֖יִם כָּל־רֹ֥עֵה צֹֽאן׃

that ye shall say: Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers; that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.'

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: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · assert · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
אֲמַרְתֶּם you will say	weqatal · qal
הָיוּ they have been	qatal · qal	עֲבָדֶי servants
תֵּשְׁבוּ you may dwell	yiqtol · qal

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

וְתֵימְרוּן גֻּבְרֵי מָרֵי גֵּיתֵי הֲווֹ עַבְדָּיךְ מֵעוּלֵמָנָא וְעַד כְּעַן אַף אֲנַחְנָא אַף אַבְהָתָנָא בְּדִיל דִּי תֵיתְבוּן בְּאַרְעָא דְגשֶׁן אֲרֵי מְרַחֲקִין מִצְרָאֵי כָּל רָעֵי עָנָא

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