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 — young man, Eldad — and what happens in the verse to Moses, camp, 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. וַיָּ֣רָץ הַנַּ֔עַר וַיַּגֵּ֥ד לְמֹשֶׁ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר אֶלְדָּ֣ד וּמֵידָ֔ד מִֽתְנַבְּאִ֖ים בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ [And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.462/) ## 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:446 # text = וַיָּ֣רָץ הַנַּ֔עַר וַיַּגֵּ֥ד לְמֹשֶׁ֖ה וַיֹּאמַ֑ר אֶלְדָּ֣ד וּמֵידָ֔ד מִֽתְנַבְּאִ֖ים בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ # verse = NUM.11.27 1-2 וַיָּ֣רָץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:27!1|MId=o040110270011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּ֣רָץ רוּץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.ran|Ref=NUM_11:27!1|MId=o040110270012|Strong=7323|Frame=A0:040110270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הַנַּ֔עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the.young|Ref=NUM_11:27!2|MId=o040110270021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 נַּ֔עַר נַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=NUM_11:27!2|MId=o040110270022|Strong=5288 5-6 וַיַּגֵּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:27!3|MId=o040110270031|Strong=2050b 6 יַּגֵּ֥ד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.told|Ref=NUM_11:27!3|MId=o040110270032|Strong=5046|Frame=A0:040110270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 7-8 לְמֹשֶׁ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_11:27!4|MId=o040110270041|Strong=3807a 8 מֹשֶׁ֖ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 6 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_11:27!4|MId=o040110270042|Strong=4872 9-10 וַיֹּאמַ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:27!5|MId=o040110270051|Strong=2050b 10 יֹּאמַ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_11:27!5|MId=o040110270052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040110270022;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 אֶלְדָּ֣ד אֶלְדָּד PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Eldad|Ref=NUM_11:27!6|MId=o040110270061|Strong=0419 12-13 וּמֵידָ֔ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_11:27!7|MId=o040110270071|Strong=2050b 13 מֵידָ֔ד מֵידָד PROPN _ _ 11 conj _ Gloss=Medad|Ref=NUM_11:27!7|MId=o040110270072|Strong=4312 14 מִֽתְנַבְּאִ֖ים נָבָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur 10 ccomp _ Gloss=[are].prophesying|Ref=NUM_11:27!8|MId=o040110270081|Strong=5012|Frame=A0:040110270061;040110270072;|Type=participle_active 15-17 בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_11:27!9|MId=o040110270091|Strong=0871a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_11:27!9|MId=o040110270091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 מַּחֲנֶֽה מַחֲנֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=camp|Ref=NUM_11:27!9|MId=o040110270092|Strong=4264 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=NUM_11:27!9 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּרָץ *he ran* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַּעַר *man* | | | | | יַּגֵּד *he told* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | נַּעַר *man* | | | | | יֹּאמַר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | נַּעַר *man* | | | | | מִֽתְנַבְּאִים *\[are\] prophesying* | participle active · hithpael | אֶלְדָּד *Eldad* + מֵידָד *Medad* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
