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 — This, LORD, children, yoke — and what happens in the verse to statute, law, red heifer, thee, blemish, 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. זֹ֚את חֻקַּ֣ת הַתּוֹרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר דַּבֵּ֣ר ׀ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְיִקְח֣וּ אֵלֶיךָ֩ פָרָ֨ה אֲדֻמָּ֜ה תְּמִימָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵֽין־בָּהּ֙ מ֔וּם אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־עָלָ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ עֹֽל׃ [This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying: Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer, faultless, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.706/) ## 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:686 # text = זֹ֚את חֻקַּ֣ת הַתּוֹרָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר דַּבֵּ֣ר ׀ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְיִקְח֣וּ אֵלֶיךָ֩ פָרָ֨ה אֲדֻמָּ֜ה תְּמִימָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵֽין־בָּהּ֙ מ֔וּם אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־עָלָ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ עֹֽל׃ # verse = NUM.19.2 1 זֹ֚את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_19:2!1|MId=o040190020011|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 2 חֻקַּ֣ת חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 nsubj _ Gloss=[is].the.statute|Ref=NUM_19:2!2|MId=o040190020021|Strong=2708 3-4 הַתּוֹרָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_19:2!3|MId=o040190020031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 תּוֹרָ֔ה תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.law|Ref=NUM_19:2!3|MId=o040190020032|Strong=8451 5 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_19:2!4|MId=o040190020041|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 6 צִוָּ֥ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.commanded|Ref=NUM_19:2!5|MId=o040190020051|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:040190020061;A1:040190020021;|Type=qatal 7 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_19:2!6|MId=o040190020061|Strong=3068 8-9 לֵאמֹ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 10 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=NUM_19:2!7|MId=o040190020071|Strong=3807a 9 אמֹ֑ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_19:2!7|MId=o040190020072|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040190020061;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 דַּבֵּ֣ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 ccomp _ Gloss=speak|Ref=NUM_19:2!8|MId=o040190020081|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:040190010041;|Type=imperative 11 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=NUM_19:2!8 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_19:2!9|MId=o040190020091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_19:2!10|MId=o040190020101|Strong=1121 14 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_19:2!11|MId=o040190020111|Strong=3478 15-16 וְיִקְח֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_19:2!12|MId=o040190020121|Strong=2050b 16 יִקְח֣וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.bring|Ref=NUM_19:2!12|MId=o040190020122|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:040190020101;A1:040190020141;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 אֵלֶיךָ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֵלֶי אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_19:2!13|MId=o040190020131|Strong=0413 18 ךָ֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_19:2!13|MId=o040190020132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 פָרָ֨ה פָּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=a.heifer|Ref=NUM_19:2!14|MId=o040190020141|Strong=6510 20 אֲדֻמָּ֜ה אָדֹם ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 amod _ Gloss=red|Ref=NUM_19:2!15|MId=o040190020151|Strong=0122|Type=adjective 21 תְּמִימָ֗ה תָּמִים ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 amod _ Gloss=unblemished|Ref=NUM_19:2!16|MId=o040190020161|Strong=8549|Type=adjective 22 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_19:2!17|MId=o040190020171|Strong=0834|Type=relative 23 אֵֽין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=NUM_19:2!18|MId=o040190020181|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 בָּהּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_19:2!19|MId=o040190020191|Strong=0871a 25 ָהּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_19:2!19|MId=o040190020192|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 26 מ֔וּם מאוּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=a.blemish|Ref=NUM_19:2!20|MId=o040190020201|Strong=3971a 27 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 29 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_19:2!21|MId=o040190020211|Strong=0834|Type=relative 28 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 29 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_19:2!22|MId=o040190020221|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 29 עָלָ֥ה עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.has.gone.up|Ref=NUM_19:2!23|MId=o040190020231|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:040190020251;|Type=qatal 30-31 עָלֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 עָלֶ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_19:2!24|MId=o040190020241|Strong=5921 31 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_19:2!24|MId=o040190020242|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 32 עֹֽל עֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 nsubj _ Gloss=a.yoke|Ref=NUM_19:2!25|MId=o040190020251|Strong=5923|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=NUM_19:2!25 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
