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, pans — and what happens in the verse to cost, pans, beaten plates, sign, lives, 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. אֵ֡ת מַחְתּוֹת֩ הַֽחַטָּאִ֨ים הָאֵ֜לֶּה בְּנַפְשֹׁתָ֗ם וְעָשׂ֨וּ אֹתָ֜ם רִקֻּעֵ֤י פַחִים֙ צִפּ֣וּי לַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ כִּֽי־הִקְרִיבֻ֥ם לִפְנֵֽי־יְהוָ֖ה וַיִּקְדָּ֑שׁוּ וְיִֽהְי֥וּ לְא֖וֹת לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar — for they are become holy, because they were offered before the LORD — that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.647/) ## 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:627 # text = אֵ֡ת מַחְתּוֹת֩ הַֽחַטָּאִ֨ים הָאֵ֜לֶּה בְּנַפְשֹׁתָ֗ם וְעָשׂ֨וּ אֹתָ֜ם רִקֻּעֵ֤י פַחִים֙ צִפּ֣וּי לַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ כִּֽי־הִקְרִיבֻ֥ם לִפְנֵֽי־יְהוָ֖ה וַיִּקְדָּ֑שׁוּ וְיִֽהְי֥וּ לְא֖וֹת לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = NUM.17.3 1 אֵ֡ת אֵת ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_17:3!1|MId=o040170030011|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 2 מַחְתּוֹת֩ מַחְתָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 dislocated _ Gloss=the.censers|Ref=NUM_17:3!2|MId=o040170030021|Strong=4289 3-4 הַֽחַטָּאִ֨ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_17:3!3|MId=o040170030031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 חַטָּאִ֨ים חַטָּא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sinners|Ref=NUM_17:3!3|MId=o040170030032|Strong=2400|Type=adjective 5-6 הָאֵ֜לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_17:3!4|MId=o040170030041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אֵ֜לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 4 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=NUM_17:3!4|MId=o040170030042|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 7-9 בְּנַפְשֹׁתָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_17:3!5|MId=o040170030051|Strong=0871a 8 נַפְשֹׁת נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 nmod _ Gloss=lives|Ref=NUM_17:3!5|MId=o040170030052|Strong=5315 9 ָ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_17:3!5|MId=o040170030053|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְעָשׂ֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:3!6|MId=o040170030061|Strong=2050b 11 עָשׂ֨וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=people.will.make|Ref=NUM_17:3!6|MId=o040170030062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:;A1:040170030072;|Type=imperative 12-13 אֹתָ֜ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_17:3!7|MId=o040170030071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13 ָ֜ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_17:3!7|MId=o040170030072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14 רִקֻּעֵ֤י רִקֻּעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 xcomp _ Gloss=beaten.out|Ref=NUM_17:3!8|MId=o040170030081|Strong=7555 15 פַחִים֙ פַּח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.thin.plates|Ref=NUM_17:3!9|MId=o040170030091|Strong=6341a 16 צִפּ֣וּי צִפּוּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 appos _ Gloss=plating|Ref=NUM_17:3!10|MId=o040170030101|Strong=6826 17-19 לַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_17:3!11|MId=o040170030111|Strong=3807a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:3!11|MId=o040170030111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מִּזְבֵּ֔חַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nmod _ Gloss=altar|Ref=NUM_17:3!11|MId=o040170030112|Strong=4196 20 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_17:3!12|MId=o040170030121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הִקְרִיבֻ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הִקְרִיבֻ֥ קָרַב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 advcl _ Gloss=they|Ref=NUM_17:3!13|MId=o040170030131|Strong=7126|Frame=AA:040170030032;A0:040170030132;|Type=qatal 22 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=brought.them.near|Ref=NUM_17:3!13|MId=o040170030132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23-24 לִפְנֵֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_17:3!14|MId=o040170030141|Strong=3807a 24 פְנֵֽי־ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 21 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_17:3!14|MId=o040170030142|Strong=6440 25 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_17:3!15|MId=o040170030151|Strong=3068 26-27 וַיִּקְדָּ֑שׁוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:3!16|MId=o040170030161|Strong=2050b 27 יִּקְדָּ֑שׁוּ קָדַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=they.became.holy|Ref=NUM_17:3!16|MId=o040170030162|Strong=6942|Frame=A0:040170030021;|Type=wayyiqtol 28-29 וְיִֽהְי֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:3!17|MId=o040170030171|Strong=2050b 29 יִֽהְי֥וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 31 cop _ Gloss=let.them.become|Ref=NUM_17:3!17|MId=o040170030172|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040170030021;|Type=yiqtol 30-31 לְא֖וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=NUM_17:3!18|MId=o040170030181|Strong=3807a 31 א֖וֹת אוֹת NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=sign|Ref=NUM_17:3!18|MId=o040170030182|Strong=0226 32-33 לִבְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_17:3!19|MId=o040170030191|Strong=3807a 33 בְנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 31 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_17:3!19|MId=o040170030192|Strong=1121 34 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_17:3!20|MId=o040170030201|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=NUM_17:3!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
