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 — you, LORD, thou — and what happens in the verse to son, fire pans, burning, fire, pans, 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. אֱמֹ֨ר אֶל־אֶלְעָזָ֜ר בֶּן־אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְיָרֵ֤ם אֶת־הַמַּחְתֹּת֙ מִבֵּ֣ין הַשְּׂרֵפָ֔ה וְאֶת־הָאֵ֖שׁ זְרֵה־הָ֑לְאָה כִּ֖י קָדֵֽשׁוּ׃ ['Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.646/) ## 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:626 # text = אֱמֹ֨ר אֶל־אֶלְעָזָ֜ר בֶּן־אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְיָרֵ֤ם אֶת־הַמַּחְתֹּת֙ מִבֵּ֣ין הַשְּׂרֵפָ֔ה וְאֶת־הָאֵ֖שׁ זְרֵה־הָ֑לְאָה כִּ֖י קָדֵֽשׁוּ׃ # verse = NUM.17.2 1 אֱמֹ֨ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=speak|Ref=NUM_17:2!1|MId=o040170020011|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040170010041;|Type=imperative 2 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_17:2!2|MId=o040170020021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 3 אֶלְעָזָ֜ר אֶלְעָזָר PROPN _ _ 1 obl _ Gloss=Eleazar|Ref=NUM_17:2!3|MId=o040170020031|Strong=0499 4 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_17:2!4|MId=o040170020041|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 5 אַהֲרֹ֣ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aaron|Ref=NUM_17:2!5|MId=o040170020051|Strong=0175 6-7 הַכֹּהֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:2!6|MId=o040170020061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 כֹּהֵ֗ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=priest|Ref=NUM_17:2!6|MId=o040170020062|Strong=3548 8-9 וְיָרֵ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:2!7|MId=o040170020071|Strong=2050b 9 יָרֵ֤ם רוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=let.him.take.up|Ref=NUM_17:2!7|MId=o040170020072|Strong=7311|Frame=AA:040170020031;A0:040170020092;|Type=jussive 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_17:2!8|MId=o040170020081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַמַּחְתֹּת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:2!9|MId=o040170020091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 מַּחְתֹּת֙ מַחְתָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=censers|Ref=NUM_17:2!9|MId=o040170020092|Strong=4289 13-14 מִבֵּ֣ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_17:2!10|MId=o040170020101|Strong=4480 14 בֵּ֣ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=NUM_17:2!10|MId=o040170020102|Strong=0996 15-16 הַשְּׂרֵפָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:2!11|MId=o040170020111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 שְּׂרֵפָ֔ה שְׂרֵפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=burning|Ref=NUM_17:2!11|MId=o040170020112|Strong=8316 17-18 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:2!12|MId=o040170020121|Strong=2050b 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_17:2!12|MId=o040170020122|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19-20 הָאֵ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:2!13|MId=o040170020131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֵ֖שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=fire|Ref=NUM_17:2!13|MId=o040170020132|Strong=0784 21 זְרֵה־ זָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=scatter|Ref=NUM_17:2!14|MId=o040170020141|Strong=2219|Frame=A0:040170010041;A1:040170020132;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 22 הָ֑לְאָה הָלְאָה ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=beyond|Ref=NUM_17:2!15|MId=o040170020151|Strong=1973 23 כִּ֖י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_17:2!16|MId=o040170020161|Strong=3588 24 קָדֵֽשׁוּ קָדַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 advcl _ Gloss=they.are.holy|Ref=NUM_17:2!17|MId=o040170020171|Strong=6942|Frame=A0:040170020092;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_17:2!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֱמֹר *speak* | imperative · qal | | | | | | יָרֵם *let him take up* | jussive · hiphil | מַּחְתֹּת *censers* | | | אֶלְעָזָר *Eleazar* | | זְרֵה־ *scatter* | imperative · qal | | אֵשׁ *fire* | | | | קָדֵֽשׁוּ *they are holy* | qatal · qal | מַּחְתֹּת *censers* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
