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 — Moses, people, Thou, I — and what happens in the verse to thousand men, foot, flesh, people, 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. וַיֹּאמֶר֮ מֹשֶׁה֒ שֵׁשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֙לֶף֙ רַגְלִ֔י הָעָ֕ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְאַתָּ֣ה אָמַ֗רְתָּ בָּשָׂר֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָהֶ֔ם וְאָכְל֖וּ חֹ֥דֶשׁ יָמִֽים׃ [And Moses said: 'The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and yet Thou hast said: I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.456/) ## 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:440 # text = וַיֹּאמֶר֮ מֹשֶׁה֒ שֵׁשׁ־מֵא֥וֹת אֶ֙לֶף֙ רַגְלִ֔י הָעָ֕ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְאַתָּ֣ה אָמַ֗רְתָּ בָּשָׂר֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָהֶ֔ם וְאָכְל֖וּ חֹ֥דֶשׁ יָמִֽים׃ # verse = NUM.11.21 1-2 וַיֹּאמֶר֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:21!1|MId=o040110210011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמֶר֮ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_11:21!1|MId=o040110210012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040110210021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֹשֶׁה֒ מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_11:21!2|MId=o040110210021|Strong=4872 4 שֵׁשׁ־ שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 nummod _ Gloss=[are].six|Ref=NUM_11:21!3|MId=o040110210031|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֵא֥וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 4 flat _ Gloss=hundred(s)|Ref=NUM_11:21!4|MId=o040110210041|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 6 אֶ֙לֶף֙ אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 4 flat _ Gloss=thousand|Ref=NUM_11:21!5|MId=o040110210051|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 7 רַגְלִ֔י רַגְלִי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=foot.soldier[s]|Ref=NUM_11:21!6|MId=o040110210061|Strong=7273|Type=adjective 8-9 הָעָ֕ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_11:21!7|MId=o040110210071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 עָ֕ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=NUM_11:21!7|MId=o040110210072|Strong=5971 10 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_11:21!8|MId=o040110210081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11 אָנֹכִ֖י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=NUM_11:21!9|MId=o040110210091|Strong=0595|Type=personal 12-14 בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[am].in|Ref=NUM_11:21!10|MId=o040110210101|Strong=0871a 13 קִרְבּ קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=midst|Ref=NUM_11:21!10|MId=o040110210102|Strong=7130 14 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=NUM_11:21!10|MId=o040110210103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 וְאַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:21!11|MId=o040110210111|Strong=2050b 16 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_11:21!11|MId=o040110210112|Strong=0859|Type=personal 17 אָמַ֗רְתָּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 conj _ Gloss=you.have.said|Ref=NUM_11:21!12|MId=o040110210121|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040110210112;|Type=qatal 18 בָּשָׂר֙ בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=meat|Ref=NUM_11:21!13|MId=o040110210131|Strong=1320 19 אֶתֵּ֣ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 17 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.give|Ref=NUM_11:21!14|MId=o040110210141|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040110200151;A1:040110210131;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:21!15|MId=o040110210151|Strong=3807a 21 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_11:21!15|MId=o040110210152|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְאָכְל֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:21!16|MId=o040110210161|Strong=2050b 23 אָכְל֖וּ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 19 conj _ Gloss=they.will.eat|Ref=NUM_11:21!16|MId=o040110210162|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:040110210072;A1:040110210131;|Type=weqatal 24 חֹ֥דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=a.month|Ref=NUM_11:21!17|MId=o040110210171|Strong=2320 25 יָמִֽים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.days|Ref=NUM_11:21!18|MId=o040110210181|Strong=3117|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_11:21!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#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 | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | | | אָמַרְתָּ *you have said* | qatal · qal | אַתָּה *you* | | | | | אֶתֵּן *I will give* | yiqtol · qal | | בָּשָׂר *meat* | | | | אָכְלוּ *they will eat* | weqatal · qal | עָם *people* | בָּשָׂר *meat* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
