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, Thou, I, milk — and what happens in the verse to offering, one ass, one, 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. וַיִּ֤חַר לְמֹשֶׁה֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה אַל־תֵּ֖פֶן אֶל־מִנְחָתָ֑ם לֹ֠א חֲמ֨וֹר אֶחָ֤ד מֵהֶם֙ נָשָׂ֔אתִי וְלֹ֥א הֲרֵעֹ֖תִי אֶת־אַחַ֥ד מֵהֶֽם׃ [And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD: 'Respect not Thou their offering; I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.624/) ## 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:604 # text = וַיִּ֤חַר לְמֹשֶׁה֙ מְאֹ֔ד וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה אַל־תֵּ֖פֶן אֶל־מִנְחָתָ֑ם לֹ֠א חֲמ֨וֹר אֶחָ֤ד מֵהֶם֙ נָשָׂ֔אתִי וְלֹ֥א הֲרֵעֹ֖תִי אֶת־אַחַ֥ד מֵהֶֽם׃ # verse = NUM.16.15 1-2 וַיִּ֤חַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:15!1|MId=o040160150011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּ֤חַר חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.burned|Ref=NUM_16:15!1|MId=o040160150012|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 לְמֹשֶׁה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_16:15!2|MId=o040160150021|Strong=3807a 4 מֹשֶׁה֙ מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_16:15!2|MId=o040160150022|Strong=4872 5 מְאֹ֔ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=NUM_16:15!3|MId=o040160150031|Strong=3966 6-7 וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:15!4|MId=o040160150041|Strong=2050b 7 יֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_16:15!4|MId=o040160150042|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040160150022;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_16:15!5|MId=o040160150051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 9 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_16:15!6|MId=o040160150061|Strong=3068 10 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=NUM_16:15!7|MId=o040160150071|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 11 תֵּ֖פֶן פָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 7 ccomp _ Gloss=turn|Ref=NUM_16:15!8|MId=o040160150081|Strong=6437|Frame=A0:040160150061;|Type=jussive 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_16:15!9|MId=o040160150091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 מִנְחָתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִנְחָת מִנְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=offering|Ref=NUM_16:15!10|MId=o040160150101|Strong=4503 14 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_16:15!10|MId=o040160150102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 לֹ֠א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_16:15!11|MId=o040160150111|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 חֲמ֨וֹר חֲמוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=a.donkey|Ref=NUM_16:15!12|MId=o040160150121|Strong=2543 17 אֶחָ֤ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=NUM_16:15!13|MId=o040160150131|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 18-19 מֵהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_16:15!14|MId=o040160150141|Strong=4480 19 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_16:15!14|MId=o040160150142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 נָשָׂ֔אתִי נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 11 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.taken|Ref=NUM_16:15!15|MId=o040160150151|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:040160150022;A1:040160150121;|Type=qatal 21-22 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:15!16|MId=o040160150161|Strong=2050b 22 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_16:15!16|MId=o040160150162|Strong=3808|Type=negative 23 הֲרֵעֹ֖תִי רָעַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 20 conj _ Gloss=I.have.done.harm.to|Ref=NUM_16:15!17|MId=o040160150171|Strong=7489|Frame=AA:040160150022;A0:040160150191;|Type=qatal 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_16:15!18|MId=o040160150181|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25 אַחַ֥ד אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=one|Ref=NUM_16:15!19|MId=o040160150191|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 26-27 מֵהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_16:15!20|MId=o040160150201|Strong=4480 27 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_16:15!20|MId=o040160150202|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_16:15!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּחַר *it burned* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | | | **not** תֵּפֶן *turn* | jussive · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | **not** נָשָׂאתִי *I have taken* | qatal · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | חֲמוֹר *a donkey* | | | | **not** הֲרֵעֹתִי *I have done harm to* | qatal · hiphil | אַחַד *one* | | | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
