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 — and what happens in the verse to men, land, you, South, mountains, 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. וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח אֹתָם֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה לָת֖וּר אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם עֲל֥וּ זֶה֙ בַּנֶּ֔גֶב וַעֲלִיתֶ֖ם אֶת־הָהָֽר׃ [And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into the mountains;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.504/) ## 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:487 # text = וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח אֹתָם֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה לָת֖וּר אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם עֲל֥וּ זֶה֙ בַּנֶּ֔גֶב וַעֲלִיתֶ֖ם אֶת־הָהָֽר׃ # verse = NUM.13.17 1-2 וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:17!1|MId=o040130170011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁלַ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.sent|Ref=NUM_13:17!1|MId=o040130170012|Strong=7971|Frame=A1:040130170022;A0:040130170031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_13:17!2|MId=o040130170021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_13:17!2|MId=o040130170022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 מֹשֶׁ֔ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_13:17!3|MId=o040130170031|Strong=4872 6-7 לָת֖וּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_13:17!4|MId=o040130170041|Strong=3807a 7 ת֖וּר תּוּר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=spy.out|Ref=NUM_13:17!4|MId=o040130170042|Strong=8446|Frame=A0:040130160032;A1:040130170061;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_13:17!5|MId=o040130170051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=NUM_13:17!6|MId=o040130170061|Strong=0776 10 כְּנָ֑עַן כְּנַעַן PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Canaan|Ref=NUM_13:17!7|MId=o040130170071|Strong=3667 11-12 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:17!8|MId=o040130170081|Strong=2050b 12 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_13:17!8|MId=o040130170082|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040130170031;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 אֲלֵהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_13:17!9|MId=o040130170091|Strong=0413 14 ֵהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_13:17!9|MId=o040130170092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 עֲל֥וּ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 ccomp _ Gloss=go.up|Ref=NUM_13:17!10|MId=o040130170101|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:040130160032;|Type=imperative 16 זֶה֙ זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 15 advmod _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_13:17!11|MId=o040130170111|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 17-19 בַּנֶּ֔גֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_13:17!12|MId=o040130170121|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:17!12|MId=o040130170121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 נֶּ֔גֶב נֶגֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=Negev|Ref=NUM_13:17!12|MId=o040130170122|Strong=5045 20-21 וַעֲלִיתֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:17!13|MId=o040130170131|Strong=2050b 21 עֲלִיתֶ֖ם עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 15 conj _ Gloss=you.will.go.up|Ref=NUM_13:17!13|MId=o040130170132|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:040130160032;|Type=weqatal 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_13:17!14|MId=o040130170141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 הָהָֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the.hill|Ref=NUM_13:17!15|MId=o040130170151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 הָֽר הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=country|Ref=NUM_13:17!15|MId=o040130170152|Strong=2022 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_13:17!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁלַח *he sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | ָם *them* | | | | תוּר *spy out* | infinitive construct · qal | | אֶרֶץ *the land* | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | | | עֲלוּ *go up* | imperative · qal | | | | | | עֲלִיתֶם *you will go up* | weqatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
