Genesis 9:27 בְּרֵאשִׁית

Who acts: God, Japheth, Canaan · What happens: enlarge, dwell, let, be · To what, where: Japheth, tents, Canaan, servant

This is Genesis 9:27 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, Japheth, Canaan — and what happens in the verse to Japheth, tents, Canaan, servant, 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.

יַ֤פְתְּ אֱלֹהִים֙ לְיֶ֔פֶת וְיִשְׁכֹּ֖ן בְּאָֽהֳלֵי־שֵׁ֑ם וִיהִ֥י כְנַ֖עַן עֶ֥בֶד לָֽמוֹ׃

God enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be their servant.

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: command
act: request
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)
יַפְתְּ may he make spacious	jussive · hiphil	אֱלֹהִים God
יִשְׁכֹּן let him dwell	jussive · qal	יֶפֶת Japheth
יהִי let him be	jussive · qal	כְנַעַן Canaan

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

יַפְתֵּי יְיָ לְיֶפֶת וְיִשְׁרֵי שְׁכִינְתֵּהּ בְּמַשְׁכְּנֵהּ דְּשֵׁם וִיהֵי כְנַעַן עַבְדָא לְהוֹן

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