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 — mouth, LORD, end, ground — and what happens in the verse to end, words, 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. וַיְהִי֙ כְּכַלֹּת֔וֹ לְדַבֵּ֕ר אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַתִּבָּקַ֥ע הָאֲדָמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּחְתֵּיהֶֽם׃ [And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground did cleave asunder that was under them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.640/) ## 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:620 # text = וַיְהִי֙ כְּכַלֹּת֔וֹ לְדַבֵּ֕ר אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַתִּבָּקַ֥ע הָאֲדָמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּחְתֵּיהֶֽם׃ # verse = NUM.16.31 1-2 וַיְהִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:31!1|MId=o040160310011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִי֙ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=NUM_16:31!1|MId=o040160310012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 כְּכַלֹּת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=just|Ref=NUM_16:31!2|MId=o040160310021|Strong=3509a 4 כַלֹּת כָּלָה VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 2 advcl _ Gloss=as|Ref=NUM_16:31!2|MId=o040160310022|Strong=3615|Frame=A0:040160310023;|Type=infinitive_construct 5 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=he.finished|Ref=NUM_16:31!2|MId=o040160310023|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-7 לְדַבֵּ֕ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_16:31!3|MId=o040160310031|Strong=3807a 7 דַבֵּ֕ר דָבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 4 xcomp _ Gloss=speak|Ref=NUM_16:31!3|MId=o040160310032|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:040160280021;A1:040160310062;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 אֵ֥ת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_16:31!4|MId=o040160310041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_16:31!5|MId=o040160310051|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 הַדְּבָרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_16:31!6|MId=o040160310061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 דְּבָרִ֖ים דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=words|Ref=NUM_16:31!6|MId=o040160310062|Strong=1697 12-13 הָאֵ֑לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_16:31!7|MId=o040160310071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 אֵ֑לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 11 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=NUM_16:31!7|MId=o040160310072|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 14-15 וַתִּבָּקַ֥ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_16:31!8|MId=o040160310081|Strong=2050b 15 תִּבָּקַ֥ע בָּקַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.was.split.open|Ref=NUM_16:31!8|MId=o040160310082|Strong=1234|Frame=A1:040160310092;|Type=wayyiqtol 16-17 הָאֲדָמָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_16:31!9|MId=o040160310091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 אֲדָמָ֖ה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=ground|Ref=NUM_16:31!9|MId=o040160310092|Strong=0127 18 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_16:31!10|MId=o040160310101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19-20 תַּחְתֵּיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 תַּחְתֵּי תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[was].under|Ref=NUM_16:31!11|MId=o040160310111|Strong=8478 20 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_16:31!11|MId=o040160310112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=NUM_16:31!11 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | כַלֹּת *as* | infinitive construct · piel | וֹ *he finished* | | | | | דַבֵּר *speak* | infinitive construct · piel | | דְּבָרִים *words* | | | | תִּבָּקַע *it was split open* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | אֲדָמָה *ground* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
