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 — LORD, rods — and what happens in the verse to rod, testimony, end, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה הָשֵׁ֞ב אֶת־מַטֵּ֤ה אַהֲרֹן֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הָעֵד֔וּת לְמִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת לְא֖וֹת לִבְנֵי־מֶ֑רִי וּתְכַ֧ל תְּלוּנֹּתָ֛ם מֵעָלַ֖י וְלֹ֥א יָמֻֽתוּ׃ [And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children; that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die not.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.669/) ## 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:649 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה הָשֵׁ֞ב אֶת־מַטֵּ֤ה אַהֲרֹן֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הָעֵד֔וּת לְמִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת לְא֖וֹת לִבְנֵי־מֶ֑רִי וּתְכַ֧ל תְּלוּנֹּתָ֛ם מֵעָלַ֖י וְלֹ֥א יָמֻֽתוּ׃ # verse = NUM.17.25 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:25!1|MId=o040170250011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_17:25!1|MId=o040170250012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040170250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_17:25!2|MId=o040170250021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_17:25!3|MId=o040170250031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֗ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_17:25!4|MId=o040170250041|Strong=4872 6 הָשֵׁ֞ב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=put.back|Ref=NUM_17:25!5|MId=o040170250051|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:040170250041;A0:040170250071;|Type=imperative 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_17:25!6|MId=o040170250061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8 מַטֵּ֤ה מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=the.rod|Ref=NUM_17:25!7|MId=o040170250071|Strong=4294 9 אַהֲרֹן֙ אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Aaron|Ref=NUM_17:25!8|MId=o040170250081|Strong=0175 10-11 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_17:25!9|MId=o040170250091|Strong=3807a 11 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_17:25!9|MId=o040170250092|Strong=6440 12-13 הָעֵד֔וּת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:25!10|MId=o040170250101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עֵד֔וּת עֵדוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=testimony|Ref=NUM_17:25!10|MId=o040170250102|Strong=5715 14-15 לְמִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_17:25!11|MId=o040170250111|Strong=3807a 15 מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת מִשְׁמֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=keeping|Ref=NUM_17:25!11|MId=o040170250112|Strong=4931 16-17 לְא֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_17:25!12|MId=o040170250121|Strong=3807a 17 א֖וֹת אוֹת NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=a.sign|Ref=NUM_17:25!12|MId=o040170250122|Strong=0226 18-19 לִבְנֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_17:25!13|MId=o040170250131|Strong=3807a 19 בְנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=NUM_17:25!13|MId=o040170250132|Strong=1121 20 מֶ֑רִי מְרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.rebellion|Ref=NUM_17:25!14|MId=o040170250141|Strong=4805 21-22 וּתְכַ֧ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_17:25!15|MId=o040170250151|Strong=2050b 22 תְכַ֧ל כָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=that.you.may.put.an.end.to|Ref=NUM_17:25!15|MId=o040170250152|Strong=3615|Frame=A0:040170250161;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 תְּלוּנֹּתָ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 תְּלוּנֹּת תְּלֻנֹּות NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 22 nsubj _ Gloss=grumblings|Ref=NUM_17:25!16|MId=o040170250161|Strong=8519 24 ָ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_17:25!16|MId=o040170250162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-27 מֵעָלַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_17:25!17|MId=o040170250171|Strong=4480 26 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_17:25!17|MId=o040170250172|Strong=5921 27 ַ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_17:25!17|MId=o040170250173|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 28-29 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:25!18|MId=o040170250181|Strong=2050b 29 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 30 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_17:25!18|MId=o040170250182|Strong=3808|Type=negative 30 יָמֻֽתוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=they.will.die|Ref=NUM_17:25!19|MId=o040170250191|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:040170250132;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=NUM_17:25!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | הָשֵׁב *put back* | imperative · hiphil | מַטֵּה *the rod* | | | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | תְכַל *that you may put an end to* | yiqtol · piel | תְּלוּנֹּת *grumblings* | | | | | **not** יָמֻֽתוּ *they will die* | yiqtol · qal | בְנֵי־ *the sons* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
