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 — LORD, father, Aaron — and what happens in the verse to face, shame, Aaron, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה וְאָבִ֙יהָ֙ יָרֹ֤ק יָרַק֙ בְּפָנֶ֔יהָ הֲלֹ֥א תִכָּלֵ֖ם שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים תִּסָּגֵ֞ר שִׁבְעַ֤ת יָמִים֙ מִח֣וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְאַחַ֖ר תֵּאָסֵֽף׃ [And the LORD said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.484/) ## 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:468 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה וְאָבִ֙יהָ֙ יָרֹ֤ק יָרַק֙ בְּפָנֶ֔יהָ הֲלֹ֥א תִכָּלֵ֖ם שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים תִּסָּגֵ֞ר שִׁבְעַ֤ת יָמִים֙ מִח֣וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְאַחַ֖ר תֵּאָסֵֽף׃ # verse = NUM.12.14 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_12:14!1|MId=o040120140011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_12:14!1|MId=o040120140012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040120140021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_12:14!2|MId=o040120140021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_12:14!3|MId=o040120140031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֗ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_12:14!4|MId=o040120140041|Strong=4872 6-8 וְאָבִ֙יהָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_12:14!5|MId=o040120140051|Strong=2050b 7 אָבִ֙י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=NUM_12:14!5|MId=o040120140052|Strong=0001 8 הָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=NUM_12:14!5|MId=o040120140053|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9 יָרֹ֤ק יָרַק VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 obl:npmod _ Gloss=only.(spit)|Ref=NUM_12:14!6|MId=o040120140061|Strong=3417|Type=infinitive_absolute 10 יָרַק֙ יָרַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.had.spat|Ref=NUM_12:14!7|MId=o040120140071|Strong=3417|Frame=A0:040120140052;|Type=qatal 11-13 בְּפָנֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_12:14!8|MId=o040120140081|Strong=0871a 12 פָנֶ֔י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=face|Ref=NUM_12:14!8|MId=o040120140082|Strong=6440 13 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=NUM_12:14!8|MId=o040120140083|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 14-15 הֲלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=NUM_12:14!9|MId=o040120140091|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 15 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_12:14!9|MId=o040120140092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 תִכָּלֵ֖ם כָּלַם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=will.she.be.put.to.shame|Ref=NUM_12:14!10|MId=o040120140101|Strong=3637|Frame=A0:040120100121;|Type=yiqtol 17 שִׁבְעַ֣ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=NUM_12:14!11|MId=o040120140111|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 18 יָמִ֑ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=NUM_12:14!12|MId=o040120140121|Strong=3117 19 תִּסָּגֵ֞ר סָגַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=she.will.be.shut.up|Ref=NUM_12:14!13|MId=o040120140131|Strong=5462|Frame=A1:040120100121;|Type=yiqtol 20 שִׁבְעַ֤ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=NUM_12:14!14|MId=o040120140141|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 21 יָמִים֙ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=NUM_12:14!15|MId=o040120140151|Strong=3117 22-23 מִח֣וּץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from.[the]|Ref=NUM_12:14!16|MId=o040120140161|Strong=4480 23 ח֣וּץ חוּץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=outside|Ref=NUM_12:14!16|MId=o040120140162|Strong=2351 24-26 לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_12:14!17|MId=o040120140171|Strong=3807a 25 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_12:14!17|MId=o040120140171ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 מַּחֲנֶ֔ה מַחֲנֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 nmod _ Gloss=camp|Ref=NUM_12:14!17|MId=o040120140172|Strong=4264 27-28 וְאַחַ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_12:14!18|MId=o040120140181|Strong=2050b 28 אַחַ֖ר אַחַר ADV _ _ 29 advmod _ Gloss=after|Ref=NUM_12:14!18|MId=o040120140182|Strong=0310 29 תֵּאָסֵֽף אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.will.be.received|Ref=NUM_12:14!19|MId=o040120140191|Strong=0622|Frame=A1:040120100121;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=NUM_12:14!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יָרַק *he had spat* | qatal · qal | אָבִי *father* | | | | | **not** תִכָּלֵם *will she be put to shame* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | | תִּסָּגֵר *she will be shut up* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | | תֵּאָסֵֽף *she will be received* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
