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 — fathers, thy — and what happens in the verse to charge, Tent, 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. וְשָֽׁמְרוּ֙ מִֽשְׁמַרְתְּךָ֔ וּמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת כָּל־הָאֹ֑הֶל אַךְ֩ אֶל־כְּלֵ֨י הַקֹּ֤דֶשׁ וְאֶל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ לֹ֣א יִקְרָ֔בוּ וְלֹֽא־יָמֻ֥תוּ גַם־הֵ֖ם גַּם־אַתֶּֽם׃ [And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent; only they shall not come nigh unto the holy furniture and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.675/) ## 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:655 # text = וְשָֽׁמְרוּ֙ מִֽשְׁמַרְתְּךָ֔ וּמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת כָּל־הָאֹ֑הֶל אַךְ֩ אֶל־כְּלֵ֨י הַקֹּ֤דֶשׁ וְאֶל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ לֹ֣א יִקְרָ֔בוּ וְלֹֽא־יָמֻ֥תוּ גַם־הֵ֖ם גַּם־אַתֶּֽם׃ # verse = NUM.18.3 1-2 וְשָֽׁמְרוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_18:3!1|MId=o040180030011|Strong=2050b 2 שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.keep|Ref=NUM_18:3!1|MId=o040180030012|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:040180020031;A1:040180030021;040180030032;|Type=weqatal 3-4 מִֽשְׁמַרְתְּךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִֽשְׁמַרְתּ מִשְׁמֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=service|Ref=NUM_18:3!2|MId=o040180030021|Strong=4931 4 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_18:3!2|MId=o040180030022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5-6 וּמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_18:3!3|MId=o040180030031|Strong=2050b 6 מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת מִשְׁמֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=the.service|Ref=NUM_18:3!3|MId=o040180030032|Strong=4931 7 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=NUM_18:3!4|MId=o040180030041|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הָאֹ֑הֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_18:3!5|MId=o040180030051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אֹ֑הֶל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=tent|Ref=NUM_18:3!5|MId=o040180030052|Strong=0168 10 אַךְ֩ אַךְ ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=NUM_18:3!6|MId=o040180030061|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation 11 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_18:3!7|MId=o040180030071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 12 כְּלֵ֨י כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=the.equipment(s)|Ref=NUM_18:3!8|MId=o040180030081|Strong=3627 13-14 הַקֹּ֤דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_18:3!9|MId=o040180030091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 קֹּ֤דֶשׁ קֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.holy.place|Ref=NUM_18:3!9|MId=o040180030092|Strong=6944 15-16 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_18:3!10|MId=o040180030101|Strong=2050b 16 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_18:3!10|MId=o040180030102|Strong=0413 17-18 הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_18:3!11|MId=o040180030111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=altar|Ref=NUM_18:3!11|MId=o040180030112|Strong=4196 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_18:3!12|MId=o040180030121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 יִקְרָ֔בוּ קָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.draw.near|Ref=NUM_18:3!13|MId=o040180030131|Strong=7126|Frame=A0:040180020031;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_18:3!14|MId=o040180030141|Strong=2050b 22 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 23 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_18:3!14|MId=o040180030142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 23 יָמֻ֥תוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.die|Ref=NUM_18:3!15|MId=o040180030151|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:040180030171;040180030191;|Type=yiqtol 24 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=both|Ref=NUM_18:3!16|MId=o040180030161|Strong=1571|SpaceAfter=No 25 הֵ֖ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=NUM_18:3!17|MId=o040180030171|Strong=1992|Type=personal 26 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=as.well.as|Ref=NUM_18:3!18|MId=o040180030181|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 27 אַתֶּֽם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_18:3!19|MId=o040180030191|Strong=0859a|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_18:3!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָֽׁמְרוּ *they will keep* | weqatal · qal | | מִֽשְׁמַרְתּ *service* + מִשְׁמֶרֶת *the service* | | | | **not** יִקְרָבוּ *they will draw near* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** יָמֻתוּ *they will die* | yiqtol · qal | הֵם *they* + אַתֶּֽם *you* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
