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, Ye, congregation, LORD — and what happens in the verse to men, much, yourselves, assembly, 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. וַיִּֽקָּהֲל֞וּ עַל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֲלֵהֶם֮ רַב־לָכֶם֒ כִּ֤י כָל־הָֽעֵדָה֙ כֻּלָּ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים וּבְתוֹכָ֖ם יְהוָ֑ה וּמַדּ֥וּעַ תִּֽתְנַשְּׂא֖וּ עַל־קְהַ֥ל יְהוָֽה׃ [and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them: 'Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.612/) ## 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:592 # text = וַיִּֽקָּהֲל֞וּ עַל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֲלֵהֶם֮ רַב־לָכֶם֒ כִּ֤י כָל־הָֽעֵדָה֙ כֻּלָּ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים וּבְתוֹכָ֖ם יְהוָ֑ה וּמַדּ֥וּעַ תִּֽתְנַשְּׂא֖וּ עַל־קְהַ֥ל יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = NUM.16.3 1-2 וַיִּֽקָּהֲל֞וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:3!1|MId=o040160030011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּֽקָּהֲל֞וּ קָהַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.assembled|Ref=NUM_16:3!1|MId=o040160030012|Strong=6950|Frame=A0:040160010021;040160010092;040160010102;040160010132;040160020042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_16:3!2|MId=o040160030021|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 4 מֹשֶׁ֣ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_16:3!3|MId=o040160030031|Strong=4872 5-6 וְעַֽל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:3!4|MId=o040160030041|Strong=2050b 6 עַֽל־ עַל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_16:3!4|MId=o040160030042|Strong=5921 7 אַהֲרֹ֗ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=NUM_16:3!5|MId=o040160030051|Strong=0175 8-9 וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:3!6|MId=o040160030061|Strong=2050b 9 יֹּאמְר֣וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NUM_16:3!6|MId=o040160030062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040160010021;040160010092;040160010102;040160010132;040160020042;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 אֲלֵהֶם֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֲלֵ אֶל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_16:3!7|MId=o040160030071|Strong=0413 11 הֶם֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_16:3!7|MId=o040160030072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 רַב־ רַב ADV _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 ccomp _ Gloss=enough|Ref=NUM_16:3!8|MId=o040160030081|Strong=7227|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 לָכֶם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ל לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_16:3!9|MId=o040160030091|Strong=3807a 14 ָכֶם֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_16:3!9|MId=o040160030092|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 15 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_16:3!10|MId=o040160030101|Strong=3588 16 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 dislocated _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_16:3!11|MId=o040160030111|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הָֽעֵדָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_16:3!12|MId=o040160030121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 עֵדָה֙ עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=congregation|Ref=NUM_16:3!12|MId=o040160030122|Strong=5712 19-20 כֻּלָּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 כֻּלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=NUM_16:3!13|MId=o040160030131|Strong=3605 20 ָ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_16:3!13|MId=o040160030132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21 קְדֹשִׁ֔ים קָדוֹשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 advcl _ Gloss=[are].holy|Ref=NUM_16:3!14|MId=o040160030141|Strong=6918|Type=adjective 22-25 וּבְתוֹכָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:3!15|MId=o040160030151|Strong=2050b 23 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=[is]|Ref=NUM_16:3!15|MId=o040160030152|Strong=0871a 24 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=among|Ref=NUM_16:3!15|MId=o040160030153|Strong=8432 25 ָ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_16:3!15|MId=o040160030154|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 26 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_16:3!16|MId=o040160030161|Strong=3068 27-28 וּמַדּ֥וּעַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:3!17|MId=o040160030171|Strong=2050b 28 מַדּ֥וּעַ מַדּוּעַ ADV _ _ 29 advmod _ Gloss=why?|Ref=NUM_16:3!17|MId=o040160030172|Strong=4069|Type=interrogative 29 תִּֽתְנַשְּׂא֖וּ נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 conj _ Gloss=do.you.exalt.yourselves|Ref=NUM_16:3!18|MId=o040160030181|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:040160030031;040160030051;|Type=yiqtol 30 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NUM_16:3!19|MId=o040160030191|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 31 קְהַ֥ל קָהָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=the.assembly|Ref=NUM_16:3!20|MId=o040160030201|Strong=6951 32 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_16:3!21|MId=o040160030211|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=NUM_16:3!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
