Genesis 48:18 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: Joseph, this · What happens: say, be, put · To what, where: first born, right hand, head · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 48:18 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 — Joseph, this — and what happens in the verse to first born, right hand, head, 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.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יוֹסֵ֛ף אֶל־אָבִ֖יו לֹא־כֵ֣ן אָבִ֑י כִּי־זֶ֣ה הַבְּכֹ֔ר שִׂ֥ים יְמִינְךָ֖ עַל־רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃

And Joseph said unto his father: 'Not so, my father, for this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head.'

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: yes
the frame alone: decl · narrate · none

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 יוֹסֵף לְאָבוּהִי לָא כֵן אַבָּא אֲרֵי דֵין בּוּכְרָא שַׁו יְמִינָךְ עַל רֵישֵׁהּ

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