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 — grapes — and what happens in the verse to branch, 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. וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עַד־נַ֣חַל אֶשְׁכֹּ֗ל וַיִּכְרְת֨וּ מִשָּׁ֤ם זְמוֹרָה֙ וְאֶשְׁכּ֤וֹל עֲנָבִים֙ אֶחָ֔ד וַיִּשָּׂאֻ֥הוּ בַמּ֖וֹט בִּשְׁנָ֑יִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִ֖ים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִֽים׃ [And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.511/) ## 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:493 # text = וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ עַד־נַ֣חַל אֶשְׁכֹּ֗ל וַיִּכְרְת֨וּ מִשָּׁ֤ם זְמוֹרָה֙ וְאֶשְׁכּ֤וֹל עֲנָבִים֙ אֶחָ֔ד וַיִּשָּׂאֻ֥הוּ בַמּ֖וֹט בִּשְׁנָ֑יִם וּמִן־הָרִמֹּנִ֖ים וּמִן־הַתְּאֵנִֽים׃ # verse = NUM.13.23 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:23!1|MId=o040130230011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֜אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=NUM_13:23!1|MId=o040130230012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040130160032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_13:23!2|MId=o040130230021|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 4 נַ֣חַל נַחַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.wadi|Ref=NUM_13:23!3|MId=o040130230031|Strong=5158 5 אֶשְׁכֹּ֗ל אֶשְׁכֹּל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Eshcol|Ref=NUM_13:23!4|MId=o040130230041|Strong=0812a 6-7 וַיִּכְרְת֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:23!5|MId=o040130230051|Strong=2050b 7 יִּכְרְת֨וּ כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.cut.down|Ref=NUM_13:23!5|MId=o040130230052|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:040130160032;A1:040130230071;040130230082;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 מִשָּׁ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_13:23!6|MId=o040130230061|Strong=4480 9 שָּׁ֤ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_13:23!6|MId=o040130230062|Strong=8033 10 זְמוֹרָה֙ זְמוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=a.vine.branch|Ref=NUM_13:23!7|MId=o040130230071|Strong=2156 11-12 וְאֶשְׁכּ֤וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:23!8|MId=o040130230081|Strong=2050b 12 אֶשְׁכּ֤וֹל אֶשְׁכּוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=a.cluster|Ref=NUM_13:23!8|MId=o040130230082|Strong=0811 13 עֲנָבִים֙ עֵנָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.grapes|Ref=NUM_13:23!9|MId=o040130230091|Strong=6025 14 אֶחָ֔ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=NUM_13:23!10|MId=o040130230101|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 15-17 וַיִּשָּׂאֻ֥הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:23!11|MId=o040130230111|Strong=2050b 16 יִּשָּׂאֻ֥ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they|Ref=NUM_13:23!11|MId=o040130230112|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:040130160032;A1:040130230113;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=carried.it|Ref=NUM_13:23!11|MId=o040130230113|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 18-20 בַמּ֖וֹט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_13:23!12|MId=o040130230121|Strong=0871a 19 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:23!12|MId=o040130230121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מּ֖וֹט מוֹט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=pole|Ref=NUM_13:23!12|MId=o040130230122|Strong=4132 21-22 בִּשְׁנָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=NUM_13:23!13|MId=o040130230131|Strong=0871a 22 שְׁנָ֑יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 16 obl _ Gloss=two|Ref=NUM_13:23!13|MId=o040130230132|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 23-24 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:23!14|MId=o040130230141|Strong=2050b 24 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=NUM_13:23!14|MId=o040130230142|Strong=4480 25-26 הָרִמֹּנִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:23!15|MId=o040130230151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 רִמֹּנִ֖ים רִמּוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=pomegranates|Ref=NUM_13:23!15|MId=o040130230152|Strong=7416 27-28 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:23!16|MId=o040130230161|Strong=2050b 28 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=some.of|Ref=NUM_13:23!16|MId=o040130230162|Strong=4480 29-30 הַתְּאֵנִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:23!17|MId=o040130230171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 תְּאֵנִֽים תְּאֵנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 26 conj _ Gloss=figs|Ref=NUM_13:23!17|MId=o040130230172|Strong=8384 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=NUM_13:23!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִּכְרְתוּ *they cut down* | wayyiqtol · qal | | זְמוֹרָה *a vine branch* + אֶשְׁכּוֹל *a cluster* | | | | יִּשָּׂאֻ *they* | wayyiqtol · qal | | הוּ *carried it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
