Genesis 8:21 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: LORD, I, imagination, thing · What happens: smell, say, not curse, be, smite, live · To what, where: sweet savour, heart, ground, youth, thing · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 8:21 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 — LORD, I, imagination, thing — and what happens in the verse to sweet savour, heart, ground, youth, thing, 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.

וַיָּ֣רַח יְהוָה֮ אֶת־רֵ֣יחַ הַנִּיחֹחַ֒ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־לִבּ֗וֹ לֹֽא־אֹ֠סִף לְקַלֵּ֨ל ע֤וֹד אֶת־הָֽאֲדָמָה֙ בַּעֲב֣וּר הָֽאָדָ֔ם כִּ֠י יֵ֣צֶר לֵ֧ב הָאָדָ֛ם רַ֖ע מִנְּעֻרָ֑יו וְלֹֽא־אֹסִ֥ף ע֛וֹד לְהַכּ֥וֹת אֶת־כָּל־חַ֖י כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִֽׂיתִי׃

And the LORD smelled the sweet savour; and the LORD said in His heart: 'I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

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.

וְקַבִּיל יְיָ בְּרַעֲוָא יָת קוּרְבָּנֵהּ וַאֲמַר יְיָ בְּמֵימְרֵהּ לָא אוֹסֵף לְמֵילַט עוֹד יָת אַרְעָא בְּדִיל חוֹבֵי אֱנָשָׁא אֲרֵי יִצְרָא לִבָּא דֶּאֱנָשָׁא בִּישׁ מִזְעִירֵהּ וְלָא אוֹסֵף עוֹד לְמִמְחֵי יָת כָּל דְּחַי כְּמָא דִעַבָדִית
