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 — children, We, thou, land, this — and what happens in the verse to Kadesh, us, fruit, 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. וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ בָּ֕אנוּ אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁלַחְתָּ֑נוּ וְ֠גַם זָבַ֨ת חָלָ֥ב וּדְבַ֛שׁ הִ֖וא וְזֶה־פִּרְיָֽהּ׃ [And they told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.515/) ## 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:497 # text = וַיְסַפְּרוּ־לוֹ֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ בָּ֕אנוּ אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר שְׁלַחְתָּ֑נוּ וְ֠גַם זָבַ֨ת חָלָ֥ב וּדְבַ֛שׁ הִ֖וא וְזֶה־פִּרְיָֽהּ׃ # verse = NUM.13.27 1-2 וַיְסַפְּרוּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:27!1|MId=o040130270011|Strong=2050b 2 יְסַפְּרוּ־ סָפַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.recounted|Ref=NUM_13:27!1|MId=o040130270012|Strong=5608|Frame=A0:040130160032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 ל לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_13:27!2|MId=o040130270021|Strong=3807a 4 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_13:27!2|MId=o040130270022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5-6 וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:27!3|MId=o040130270031|Strong=2050b 6 יֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NUM_13:27!3|MId=o040130270032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040130160032;|Type=wayyiqtol 7 בָּ֕אנוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 6 ccomp _ Gloss=we.went|Ref=NUM_13:27!4|MId=o040130270041|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040130160032;|Type=qatal 8 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=NUM_13:27!5|MId=o040130270051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הָאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:27!6|MId=o040130270061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=NUM_13:27!6|MId=o040130270062|Strong=0776 11 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_13:27!7|MId=o040130270071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12-13 שְׁלַחְתָּ֑נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 שְׁלַחְתָּ֑ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_13:27!8|MId=o040130270081|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:040130260041;A1:040130270082;|Type=qatal 13 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=sent.us|Ref=NUM_13:27!8|MId=o040130270082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְ֠גַם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ֠ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:27!9|MId=o040130270091|Strong=2050b 15 גַם גַּם ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=NUM_13:27!9|MId=o040130270092|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 16 זָבַ֨ת זוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=[is].flowing|Ref=NUM_13:27!10|MId=o040130270101|Strong=2100|Frame=A0:040130270062;|Type=participle_active 17 חָלָ֥ב חָלָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.milk|Ref=NUM_13:27!11|MId=o040130270111|Strong=2461 18-19 וּדְבַ֛שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:27!12|MId=o040130270121|Strong=2050b 19 דְבַ֛שׁ דְּבַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=honey|Ref=NUM_13:27!12|MId=o040130270122|Strong=1706 20 הִ֖וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_13:27!13|MId=o040130270131|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 21-22 וְזֶה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:27!14|MId=o040130270141|Strong=2050b 22 זֶה־ זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 23 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_13:27!14|MId=o040130270142|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 23-24 פִּרְיָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 פִּרְי פְּרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=fruit|Ref=NUM_13:27!15|MId=o040130270151|Strong=6529 24 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].its|Ref=NUM_13:27!15|MId=o040130270152|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_13:27!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְסַפְּרוּ־ *they recounted* | wayyiqtol · piel | | | | | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | בָּאנוּ *we went* | qatal · qal | | | | | | שְׁלַחְתָּ *you* | qatal · qal | | נוּ *sent us* | | | | זָבַת *\[is\] flowing* | participle active · qal | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
