Genesis 9:12 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: God, This, I, living creature · What happens: say, be, make · To what, where: token, covenant · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Genesis 9:12 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 — God, This, I, living creature — and what happens in the verse to token, covenant, 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.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים זֹ֤את אֽוֹת־הַבְּרִית֙ אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִ֣י נֹתֵ֗ן בֵּינִי֙ וּבֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם וּבֵ֛ין כָּל־נֶ֥פֶשׁ חַיָּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתְּכֶ֑ם לְדֹרֹ֖ת עוֹלָֽם׃

And God said: 'This is the token of the covenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

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 · narrate · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יֹּאמֶר he said	wayyiqtol · qal	אֱלֹהִים God
נֹתֵן [am] making	participle active · qal	אֲנִי I	בְּרִית the covenant

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 יְיָ דָּא אָת קְיָם דִּי אֲנָא יָהֵב בֵּין מֵימְרִי וּבֵינֵכוֹן וּבֵין כָּל נַפְשָׁא חַיְתָא דִּי עִמְּכוֹן לְדָרֵי עַלְמָא

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