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 — Korah — and what happens in the verse to men, 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. וַיִּקַּ֣ח קֹ֔רַח בֶּן־יִצְהָ֥ר בֶּן־קְהָ֖ת בֶּן־לֵוִ֑י וְדָתָ֨ן וַאֲבִירָ֜ם בְּנֵ֧י אֱלִיאָ֛ב וְא֥וֹן בֶּן־פֶּ֖לֶת בְּנֵ֥י רְאוּבֵֽן׃ [Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.610/) ## 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:590 # text = וַיִּקַּ֣ח קֹ֔רַח בֶּן־יִצְהָ֥ר בֶּן־קְהָ֖ת בֶּן־לֵוִ֑י וְדָתָ֨ן וַאֲבִירָ֜ם בְּנֵ֧י אֱלִיאָ֛ב וְא֥וֹן בֶּן־פֶּ֖לֶת בְּנֵ֥י רְאוּבֵֽן׃ # verse = NUM.16.1 1-2 וַיִּקַּ֣ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:1!1|MId=o040160010011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקַּ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=NUM_16:1!1|MId=o040160010012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:040160010021;040160010092;040160010102;040160010132;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 קֹ֔רַח קֹרַח PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Korah|Ref=NUM_16:1!2|MId=o040160010021|Strong=7141 4 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_16:1!3|MId=o040160010031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 יִצְהָ֥ר יִצְהָר PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Izhar|Ref=NUM_16:1!4|MId=o040160010041|Strong=3324 6 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_16:1!5|MId=o040160010051|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 7 קְהָ֖ת קְהָת PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Kohath|Ref=NUM_16:1!6|MId=o040160010061|Strong=6955 8 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_16:1!7|MId=o040160010071|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 9 לֵוִ֑י לֵוִי PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Levi|Ref=NUM_16:1!8|MId=o040160010081|Strong=3881 10-11 וְדָתָ֨ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:1!9|MId=o040160010091|Strong=2050b 11 דָתָ֨ן דָּתָן PROPN _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=Dathan|Ref=NUM_16:1!9|MId=o040160010092|Strong=1885 12-13 וַאֲבִירָ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:1!10|MId=o040160010101|Strong=2050b 13 אֲבִירָ֜ם אֲבִירָם PROPN _ _ 11 conj _ Gloss=Abiram|Ref=NUM_16:1!10|MId=o040160010102|Strong=0048 14 בְּנֵ֧י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 appos _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=NUM_16:1!11|MId=o040160010111|Strong=1121 15 אֱלִיאָ֛ב אֱלִיאָב PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Eliab|Ref=NUM_16:1!12|MId=o040160010121|Strong=0446 16-17 וְא֥וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:1!13|MId=o040160010131|Strong=2050b 17 א֥וֹן אוֹן PROPN _ _ 11 conj _ Gloss=On|Ref=NUM_16:1!13|MId=o040160010132|Strong=0203 18 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_16:1!14|MId=o040160010141|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 19 פֶּ֖לֶת פֶּלֶת PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Peleth|Ref=NUM_16:1!15|MId=o040160010151|Strong=6431 20 בְּנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 appos _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=NUM_16:1!16|MId=o040160010161|Strong=1121 21 רְאוּבֵֽן רְאוּבֵן PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Reuben|Ref=NUM_16:1!17|MId=o040160010171|Strong=7205|SpaceAfter=No 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=NUM_16:1!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקַּח *he took* | wayyiqtol · qal | קֹרַח *Korah* + דָתָן *Dathan* + אֲבִירָם *Abiram* + אוֹן *On* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
