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 — Levites — and what happens in the verse to charge, tabernacle, 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 36 chapters of Numbers on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְהַלְוִיִּ֞ם יַחֲנ֤וּ סָבִיב֙ לְמִשְׁכַּ֣ן הָעֵדֻ֔ת וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה קֶ֔צֶף עַל־עֲדַ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשָׁמְרוּ֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת מִשְׁכַּ֥ן הָעֵדֽוּת׃ [But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.52/) ## The tree {#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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:NUM:52 # text = וְהַלְוִיִּ֞ם יַחֲנ֤וּ סָבִיב֙ לְמִשְׁכַּ֣ן הָעֵדֻ֔ת וְלֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה קֶ֔צֶף עַל־עֲדַ֖ת בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשָׁמְרוּ֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת מִשְׁכַּ֥ן הָעֵדֽוּת׃ # verse = NUM.1.53 1-3 וְהַלְוִיִּ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_1:53!1|MId=o040010530011|Strong=2050b 2 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_1:53!1|MId=o040010530012|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 לְוִיִּ֞ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NUM_1:53!1|MId=o040010530013|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 4 יַחֲנ֤וּ חָנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.encamp|Ref=NUM_1:53!2|MId=o040010530021|Strong=2583|Frame=A0:040010530013;|Type=yiqtol 5 סָבִיב֙ סָבִיב ADV _ Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=around|Ref=NUM_1:53!3|MId=o040010530031|Strong=5439 6-7 לְמִשְׁכַּ֣ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(to).the|Ref=NUM_1:53!4|MId=o040010530041|Strong=3807a 7 מִשְׁכַּ֣ן מִשְׁכָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nmod _ Gloss=tabernacle|Ref=NUM_1:53!4|MId=o040010530042|Strong=4908 8-9 הָעֵדֻ֔ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_1:53!5|MId=o040010530051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 עֵדֻ֔ת עֵדוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.testimony|Ref=NUM_1:53!5|MId=o040010530052|Strong=5715 10-11 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_1:53!6|MId=o040010530061|Strong=2050b 11 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_1:53!6|MId=o040010530062|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 יִהְיֶ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=NUM_1:53!7|MId=o040010530071|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040010530081;|Type=yiqtol 13 קֶ֔צֶף קֶצֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=wrath|Ref=NUM_1:53!8|MId=o040010530081|Strong=7110 14 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=NUM_1:53!9|MId=o040010530091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 15 עֲדַ֖ת עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=the.congregation|Ref=NUM_1:53!10|MId=o040010530101|Strong=5712 16 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=NUM_1:53!11|MId=o040010530111|Strong=1121 17 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=NUM_1:53!12|MId=o040010530121|Strong=3478 18-19 וְשָׁמְרוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_1:53!13|MId=o040010530131|Strong=2050b 19 שָׁמְרוּ֙ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.will.keep|Ref=NUM_1:53!13|MId=o040010530132|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:040010530142;A1:040010530161;|Type=weqatal 20-21 הַלְוִיִּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_1:53!14|MId=o040010530141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 לְוִיִּ֔ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 nsubj _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=NUM_1:53!14|MId=o040010530142|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_1:53!15|MId=o040010530151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 23 מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת מִשְׁמֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=the.duty|Ref=NUM_1:53!16|MId=o040010530161|Strong=4931 24 מִשְׁכַּ֥ן מִשְׁכָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.tabernacle|Ref=NUM_1:53!17|MId=o040010530171|Strong=4908 25-26 הָעֵדֽוּת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_1:53!18|MId=o040010530181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 עֵדֽוּת עֵדוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.testimony|Ref=NUM_1:53!18|MId=o040010530182|Strong=5715 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=NUM_1:53!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַחֲנוּ *they will encamp* | yiqtol · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | | | | | יִהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | קֶצֶף *wrath* | | | | | שָׁמְרוּ *they will keep* | weqatal · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | מִשְׁמֶרֶת *the duty* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
