Genesis 47:13 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: bread, famine, land · What happens: be, languish · To what, where: land

This is Genesis 47:13 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 — bread, famine, land — and what happens in the verse to land, 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.

וְלֶ֤חֶם אֵין֙ בְּכָל־הָאָ֔רֶץ כִּֽי־כָבֵ֥ד הָרָעָ֖ב מְאֹ֑ד וַתֵּ֜לַהּ אֶ֤רֶץ מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ וְאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן מִפְּנֵ֖י הָרָעָֽב׃

And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.

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: yes

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
תֵּלַהּ it languished	wayyiqtol · qal	אֶרֶץ the land + אֶרֶץ the land

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

וְלַחֲמָא לֵית בְּכָל אַרְעָא אֲרֵי תַקִּיף כַּפְנָא לַחֲדָא וְאִשְׁתַּלְהֵי עַמָּא דְאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם וְעַמָּא דְאַרְעָא דִּכְנַעַן מִן קֳדָם כַּפְנָא

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