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 — we, Nephilim — and what happens in the verse to Nephilim, own sight, sight, 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. וְשָׁ֣ם רָאִ֗ינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִ֛ים בְּנֵ֥י עֲנָ֖ק מִן־הַנְּפִלִ֑ים וַנְּהִ֤י בְעֵינֵ֙ינוּ֙ כַּֽחֲגָבִ֔ים וְכֵ֥ן הָיִ֖ינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ [And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.521/) ## 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:503 # text = וְשָׁ֣ם רָאִ֗ינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִ֛ים בְּנֵ֥י עֲנָ֖ק מִן־הַנְּפִלִ֑ים וַנְּהִ֤י בְעֵינֵ֙ינוּ֙ כַּֽחֲגָבִ֔ים וְכֵ֥ן הָיִ֖ינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = NUM.13.33 1-2 וְשָׁ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:33!1|MId=o040130330011|Strong=2050b 2 שָׁ֣ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_13:33!1|MId=o040130330012|Strong=8033 3 רָאִ֗ינוּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=we.saw|Ref=NUM_13:33!2|MId=o040130330021|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040130310013;A1:040130330042;|Type=qatal 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_13:33!3|MId=o040130330031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַנְּפִילִ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:33!4|MId=o040130330041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 נְּפִילִ֛ים נְפִילִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obj _ Gloss=Nephilim|Ref=NUM_13:33!4|MId=o040130330042|Strong=5303 7 בְּנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 appos _ Gloss=[the].descendants|Ref=NUM_13:33!5|MId=o040130330051|Strong=1121 8 עֲנָ֖ק עָנָק PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Anak|Ref=NUM_13:33!6|MId=o040130330061|Strong=6062 9 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=[were].from|Ref=NUM_13:33!7|MId=o040130330071|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 הַנְּפִלִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_13:33!8|MId=o040130330081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 נְּפִלִ֑ים נְפִילִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 nmod _ Gloss=Nephilim|Ref=NUM_13:33!8|MId=o040130330082|Strong=5303 12-13 וַנְּהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:33!9|MId=o040130330091|Strong=2050b 13 נְּהִ֤י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=we.were|Ref=NUM_13:33!9|MId=o040130330092|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040130310013;|Type=wayyiqtol 14-16 בְעֵינֵ֙ינוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_13:33!10|MId=o040130330101|Strong=0871a 15 עֵינֵ֙י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 13 obl _ Gloss=our.own|Ref=NUM_13:33!10|MId=o040130330102|Strong=5869 16 נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=NUM_13:33!10|MId=o040130330103|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17-18 כַּֽחֲגָבִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כַּֽ כְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=NUM_13:33!11|MId=o040130330111|Strong=3509a 18 חֲגָבִ֔ים חָגָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=grasshoppers|Ref=NUM_13:33!11|MId=o040130330112|Strong=2284 19-20 וְכֵ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_13:33!12|MId=o040130330121|Strong=2050b 20 כֵ֥ן כֵּן NOUN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=thus|Ref=NUM_13:33!12|MId=o040130330122|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 21 הָיִ֖ינוּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 20 cop _ Gloss=we.were|Ref=NUM_13:33!13|MId=o040130330131|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040130310013;|Type=qatal 22-24 בְּעֵינֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_13:33!14|MId=o040130330141|Strong=0871a 23 עֵינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 20 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=NUM_13:33!14|MId=o040130330142|Strong=5869 24 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_13:33!14|MId=o040130330143|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_13:33!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רָאִינוּ *we saw* | qatal · qal | | נְּפִילִים *Nephilim* | | | | נְּהִי *we were* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | הָיִינוּ *we were* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
