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 — tent, I, man, rods — and what happens in the verse to man, murmurings, children, 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. וְהָיָ֗ה הָאִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֶבְחַר־בּ֖וֹ מַטֵּ֣הוּ יִפְרָ֑ח וַהֲשִׁכֹּתִ֣י מֵֽעָלַ֗י אֶת־תְּלֻנּוֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁ֛ר הֵ֥ם מַלִּינִ֖ם עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃ [And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud; and I will make to cease from Me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.664/) ## 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:644 # text = וְהָיָ֗ה הָאִ֛ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֶבְחַר־בּ֖וֹ מַטֵּ֣הוּ יִפְרָ֑ח וַהֲשִׁכֹּתִ֣י מֵֽעָלַ֗י אֶת־תְּלֻנּוֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁ֛ר הֵ֥ם מַלִּינִ֖ם עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = NUM.17.20 1-2 וְהָיָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:20!1|MId=o040170200011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֗ה הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=NUM_17:20!1|MId=o040170200012|Strong=1961|Type=weqatal 3-4 הָאִ֛ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:20!2|MId=o040170200021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אִ֛ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 dislocated _ Gloss=man|Ref=NUM_17:20!2|MId=o040170200022|Strong=0376 5 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=NUM_17:20!3|MId=o040170200031|Strong=0834|Type=relative 6 אֶבְחַר־ בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.will.choose|Ref=NUM_17:20!4|MId=o040170200041|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:040170160021;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 בּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=NUM_17:20!5|MId=o040170200051|Strong=0871a 8 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_17:20!5|MId=o040170200052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 מַטֵּ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מַטּ מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=rod|Ref=NUM_17:20!6|MId=o040170200061|Strong=4294 10 ֵ֣הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_17:20!6|MId=o040170200062|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 11 יִפְרָ֑ח פָּרַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.bud|Ref=NUM_17:20!7|MId=o040170200071|Strong=6524|Frame=A0:040170200061;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 וַהֲשִׁכֹּתִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:20!8|MId=o040170200081|Strong=2050b 13 הֲשִׁכֹּתִ֣י שָׁכַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.put.an.end.to|Ref=NUM_17:20!8|MId=o040170200082|Strong=7918|Frame=AA:040170160021;A0:040170200111;|Type=weqatal 14-16 מֵֽעָלַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_17:20!9|MId=o040170200091|Strong=4480 15 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_17:20!9|MId=o040170200092|Strong=5921 16 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_17:20!9|MId=o040170200093|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_17:20!10|MId=o040170200101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18 תְּלֻנּוֹת֙ תְּלֻנֹּות NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 13 obj _ Gloss=the.grumblings|Ref=NUM_17:20!11|MId=o040170200111|Strong=8519 19 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=NUM_17:20!12|MId=o040170200121|Strong=1121 20 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_17:20!13|MId=o040170200131|Strong=3478 21 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_17:20!14|MId=o040170200141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 22 הֵ֥ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=NUM_17:20!15|MId=o040170200151|Strong=1992|Type=personal 23 מַלִּינִ֖ם לוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 18 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].grumbling|Ref=NUM_17:20!16|MId=o040170200161|Strong=3885|Frame=AA:040170200151;A0:040170200111;|Type=participle_active 24-25 עֲלֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_17:20!17|MId=o040170200171|Strong=5921 25 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_17:20!17|MId=o040170200172|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_17:20!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶבְחַר־ *I will choose* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יִפְרָח *it will bud* | yiqtol · qal | מַטּ *rod* | | | | | הֲשִׁכֹּתִי *I will put an end to* | weqatal · hiphil | תְּלֻנּוֹת *the grumblings* | | | | | מַלִּינִם *\[are\] grumbling* | participle active · hiphil | תְּלֻנּוֹת *the grumblings* | | | הֵם *they* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
