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 — men, one man, Thou — and what happens in the verse to faces, God, 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. וַיִּפְּל֤וּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֵ֕ל אֱלֹהֵ֥י הָרוּחֹ֖ת לְכָל־בָּשָׂ֑ר הָאִ֤ישׁ אֶחָד֙ יֶחֱטָ֔א וְעַ֥ל כָּל־הָעֵדָ֖ה תִּקְצֹֽף׃פ [And they fell upon their faces, and said: 'O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be wroth with all the congregation?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.631/) ## 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:611 # text = וַיִּפְּל֤וּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֵ֕ל אֱלֹהֵ֥י הָרוּחֹ֖ת לְכָל־בָּשָׂ֑ר הָאִ֤ישׁ אֶחָד֙ יֶחֱטָ֔א וְעַ֥ל כָּל־הָעֵדָ֖ה תִּקְצֹֽף׃פ # verse = NUM.16.22 1-2 וַיִּפְּל֤וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:22!1|MId=o040160220011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּפְּל֤וּ נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.fell|Ref=NUM_16:22!1|MId=o040160220012|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:040160200041;040160200061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_16:22!2|MId=o040160220021|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 פְּנֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 פְּנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=faces|Ref=NUM_16:22!3|MId=o040160220031|Strong=6440 5 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_16:22!3|MId=o040160220032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6-7 וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:22!4|MId=o040160220041|Strong=2050b 7 יֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NUM_16:22!4|MId=o040160220042|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040160200041;040160200061;|Type=wayyiqtol 8 אֵ֕ל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 dislocated _ Gloss=O.God|Ref=NUM_16:22!5|MId=o040160220051|Strong=0410 9 אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=NUM_16:22!6|MId=o040160220061|Strong=0430 10-11 הָרוּחֹ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_16:22!7|MId=o040160220071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 רוּחֹ֖ת רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.spirits|Ref=NUM_16:22!7|MId=o040160220072|Strong=7307 12-13 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_16:22!8|MId=o040160220081|Strong=3807a 13 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nmod _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_16:22!8|MId=o040160220082|Strong=3605 14 בָּשָׂ֑ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=NUM_16:22!9|MId=o040160220091|Strong=1320 15-16 הָאִ֤ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ PART _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=a|Ref=NUM_16:22!10|MId=o040160220101|Strong=1886b|Type=definite_article 16 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=man?|Ref=NUM_16:22!10|MId=o040160220102|Strong=0376 17 אֶחָד֙ אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=NUM_16:22!11|MId=o040160220111|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 18 יֶחֱטָ֔א חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 ccomp _ Gloss=will.he.sin|Ref=NUM_16:22!12|MId=o040160220121|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:040160220102;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 וְעַ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:22!13|MId=o040160220131|Strong=2050b 20 עַ֥ל עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=NUM_16:22!13|MId=o040160220132|Strong=5921 21 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_16:22!14|MId=o040160220141|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 הָעֵדָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_16:22!15|MId=o040160220151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 עֵדָ֖ה עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=congregation|Ref=NUM_16:22!15|MId=o040160220152|Strong=5712 24 תִּקְצֹֽף קָצַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 18 conj _ Gloss=will.you.be.angry?|Ref=NUM_16:22!16|MId=o040160220161|Strong=7107|Frame=A0:040160220051;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_16:22!16|SpaceAfter=No 26 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_16:22!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּפְּלוּ *they fell* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֶחֱטָא *will he sin* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *man?* | | | | | תִּקְצֹֽף *will you be angry?* | yiqtol · qal | אֵל *O God* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
