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 — morrow, men, cloud, glory, LORD — and what happens in the verse to congregation, morrow, 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. וַיְהִ֗י בְּהִקָּהֵ֤ל הָֽעֵדָה֙ עַל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹ֔ן וַיִּפְנוּ֙ אֶל־אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וְהִנֵּ֥ה כִסָּ֖הוּ הֶעָנָ֑ן וַיֵּרָ֖א כְּב֥וֹד יְהוָֽה׃ [And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.651/) ## 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:631 # text = וַיְהִ֗י בְּהִקָּהֵ֤ל הָֽעֵדָה֙ עַל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹ֔ן וַיִּפְנוּ֙ אֶל־אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וְהִנֵּ֥ה כִסָּ֖הוּ הֶעָנָ֑ן וַיֵּרָ֖א כְּב֥וֹד יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = NUM.17.7 1-2 וַיְהִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:7!1|MId=o040170070011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֗י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=NUM_17:7!1|MId=o040170070012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 בְּהִקָּהֵ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=NUM_17:7!2|MId=o040170070021|Strong=0871a 4 הִקָּהֵ֤ל קָהַל VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=assembled|Ref=NUM_17:7!2|MId=o040170070022|Strong=6950|Frame=A0:040170070032;|Type=infinitive_construct 5-6 הָֽעֵדָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:7!3|MId=o040170070031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 עֵדָה֙ עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=congregation|Ref=NUM_17:7!3|MId=o040170070032|Strong=5712 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_17:7!4|MId=o040170070041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8 מֹשֶׁ֣ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_17:7!5|MId=o040170070051|Strong=4872 9-10 וְעַֽל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:7!6|MId=o040170070061|Strong=2050b 10 עַֽל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_17:7!6|MId=o040170070062|Strong=5921 11 אַהֲרֹ֔ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 8 conj _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=NUM_17:7!7|MId=o040170070071|Strong=0175 12-13 וַיִּפְנוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:7!8|MId=o040170070081|Strong=2050b 13 יִּפְנוּ֙ פָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.turned|Ref=NUM_17:7!8|MId=o040170070082|Strong=6437|Frame=A0:040170070051;040170070071;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_17:7!9|MId=o040170070091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15 אֹ֣הֶל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=the.tent|Ref=NUM_17:7!10|MId=o040170070101|Strong=0168 16 מוֹעֵ֔ד מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.meeting|Ref=NUM_17:7!11|MId=o040170070111|Strong=4150 17-18 וְהִנֵּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:7!12|MId=o040170070121|Strong=2050b 18 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 19 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=NUM_17:7!12|MId=o040170070122|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 19-20 כִסָּ֖הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 כִסָּ֖ה כָּסָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_17:7!13|MId=o040170070131|Strong=3680|Frame=A1:040170070132;A0:040170070142;|Type=qatal 20 וּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=covered.it|Ref=NUM_17:7!13|MId=o040170070132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-22 הֶעָנָ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_17:7!14|MId=o040170070141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 עָנָ֑ן עָנָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=cloud|Ref=NUM_17:7!14|MId=o040170070142|Strong=6051 23-24 וַיֵּרָ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_17:7!15|MId=o040170070151|Strong=2050b 24 יֵּרָ֖א רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 conj _ Gloss=it.appeared|Ref=NUM_17:7!15|MId=o040170070152|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:040170070161;|Type=wayyiqtol 25 כְּב֥וֹד כָּבוֹד NOUN _ Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=the.glory|Ref=NUM_17:7!16|MId=o040170070161|Strong=3519 26 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_17:7!17|MId=o040170070171|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=NUM_17:7!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִקָּהֵל *assembled* | infinitive construct · niphal | עֵדָה *congregation* | | | | | יִּפְנוּ *they turned* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* + אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | | | | | כִסָּה *it* | qatal · piel | עָנָן *cloud* | וּ *covered it* | | | | יֵּרָא *it appeared* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | כְּבוֹד *the glory* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
