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 — I, people, we — and what happens in the verse to flesh, me, us, 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. מֵאַ֤יִן לִי֙ בָּשָׂ֔ר לָתֵ֖ת לְכָל־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּֽי־יִבְכּ֤וּ עָלַי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תְּנָה־לָּ֥נוּ בָשָׂ֖ר וְנֹאכֵֽלָה׃ [Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they trouble me with their weeping, saying: Give us flesh, that we may eat.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.448/) ## 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:432 # text = מֵאַ֤יִן לִי֙ בָּשָׂ֔ר לָתֵ֖ת לְכָל־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה כִּֽי־יִבְכּ֤וּ עָלַי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר תְּנָה־לָּ֥נוּ בָשָׂ֖ר וְנֹאכֵֽלָה׃ # verse = NUM.11.13 1-2 מֵאַ֤יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_11:13!1|MId=o040110130011|Strong=4480 2 אַ֤יִן אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=where?|Ref=NUM_11:13!1|MId=o040110130012|Strong=0370|Type=interrogative 3-4 לִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=NUM_11:13!2|MId=o040110130021|Strong=3807a 4 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_11:13!2|MId=o040110130022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 בָּשָׂ֔ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=[will].meat|Ref=NUM_11:13!3|MId=o040110130031|Strong=1320 6-7 לָתֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:13!4|MId=o040110130041|Strong=3807a 7 תֵ֖ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 advcl _ Gloss=give.[it]|Ref=NUM_11:13!4|MId=o040110130042|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040110110072;A1:040110130031;|Type=infinitive_construct 8-9 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:13!5|MId=o040110130051|Strong=3807a 9 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_11:13!5|MId=o040110130052|Strong=3605 10-11 הָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_11:13!6|MId=o040110130061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=people|Ref=NUM_11:13!6|MId=o040110130062|Strong=5971 12-13 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_11:13!7|MId=o040110130071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 11 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_11:13!7|MId=o040110130072|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 14 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_11:13!8|MId=o040110130081|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 15 יִבְכּ֤וּ בָּכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 advcl _ Gloss=they.are.weeping|Ref=NUM_11:13!9|MId=o040110130091|Strong=1058|Frame=A0:040110130062;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 עָלַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:13!10|MId=o040110130101|Strong=5921 17 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_11:13!10|MId=o040110130102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18-19 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 20 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NUM_11:13!11|MId=o040110130111|Strong=3807a 19 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_11:13!11|MId=o040110130112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040110130062;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 תְּנָה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 תְּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 15 advcl _ Gloss=give|Ref=NUM_11:13!12|MId=o040110130121|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040110110072;A1:040110130141;|Type=imperative 21 ָה־ ה X _ _ 20 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_11:13!12|MId=o040110130122|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 22-23 לָּ֥נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:13!13|MId=o040110130131|Strong=3807a 23 ָ֥נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=NUM_11:13!13|MId=o040110130132|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 24 בָשָׂ֖ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=meat|Ref=NUM_11:13!14|MId=o040110130141|Strong=1320 25-26 וְנֹאכֵֽלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_11:13!15|MId=o040110130151|Strong=2050b 26 נֹאכֵֽלָה אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 20 conj _ Gloss=that.we.may.eat|Ref=NUM_11:13!15|MId=o040110130152|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:040110130062;A1:040110130141;|Type=cohortative 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=NUM_11:13!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵת *give \[it\]* | infinitive construct · qal | | בָּשָׂר *\[will\] meat* | | | | יִבְכּוּ *they are weeping* | yiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | תְּנ *give* | imperative · qal | | בָשָׂר *meat* | | | | נֹאכֵֽלָה *that we may eat* | cohortative · qal | עָם *people* | בָשָׂר *meat* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
