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 — man — and what happens in the verse to man, midst, sanctuary, water, 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. וְאִ֤ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יִטְמָא֙ וְלֹ֣א יִתְחַטָּ֔א וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִ֖וא מִתּ֣וֹךְ הַקָּהָ֑ל כִּי֩ אֶת־מִקְדַּ֨שׁ יְהוָ֜ה טִמֵּ֗א מֵ֥י נִדָּ֛ה לֹא־זֹרַ֥ק עָלָ֖יו טָמֵ֥א הֽוּא׃ [But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD; the water of sprinkling hath not been dashed against him: he is unclean.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.724/) ## 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:704 # text = וְאִ֤ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יִטְמָא֙ וְלֹ֣א יִתְחַטָּ֔א וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִ֖וא מִתּ֣וֹךְ הַקָּהָ֑ל כִּי֩ אֶת־מִקְדַּ֨שׁ יְהוָ֜ה טִמֵּ֗א מֵ֥י נִדָּ֛ה לֹא־זֹרַ֥ק עָלָ֖יו טָמֵ֥א הֽוּא׃ # verse = NUM.19.20 1-2 וְאִ֤ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_19:20!1|MId=o040190200011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֤ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 dislocated _ Gloss=a.person|Ref=NUM_19:20!1|MId=o040190200012|Strong=0376 3 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=NUM_19:20!2|MId=o040190200021|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִטְמָא֙ טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.be.unclean|Ref=NUM_19:20!3|MId=o040190200031|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:040190200012;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_19:20!4|MId=o040190200041|Strong=2050b 6 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_19:20!4|MId=o040190200042|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 יִתְחַטָּ֔א חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.will.purify.himself|Ref=NUM_19:20!5|MId=o040190200051|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:040190200012;|Type=yiqtol 8-9 וְנִכְרְתָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_19:20!6|MId=o040190200061|Strong=2050b 9 נִכְרְתָ֛ה כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.cut.off|Ref=NUM_19:20!6|MId=o040190200062|Strong=3772|Frame=A1:040190200072;|Type=weqatal 10-11 הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_19:20!7|MId=o040190200071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 נֶּ֥פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=person|Ref=NUM_19:20!7|MId=o040190200072|Strong=5315 12-13 הַהִ֖וא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_19:20!8|MId=o040190200081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 הִ֖וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=NUM_19:20!8|MId=o040190200082|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 14-15 מִתּ֣וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_19:20!9|MId=o040190200091|Strong=4480 15 תּ֣וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=among|Ref=NUM_19:20!9|MId=o040190200092|Strong=8432 16-17 הַקָּהָ֑ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_19:20!10|MId=o040190200101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 קָּהָ֑ל קָהָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=assembly|Ref=NUM_19:20!10|MId=o040190200102|Strong=6951 18 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_19:20!11|MId=o040190200111|Strong=3588 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_19:20!12|MId=o040190200121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20 מִקְדַּ֨שׁ מִקְדָּשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=the.sanctuary|Ref=NUM_19:20!13|MId=o040190200131|Strong=4720 21 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_19:20!14|MId=o040190200141|Strong=3068 22 טִמֵּ֗א טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 advcl _ Gloss=he.has.made.unclean|Ref=NUM_19:20!15|MId=o040190200151|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:040190200072;A1:040190200131;|Type=qatal 23 מֵ֥י מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 nsubj _ Gloss=water|Ref=NUM_19:20!16|MId=o040190200161|Strong=4325 24 נִדָּ֛ה נִדָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.impurity|Ref=NUM_19:20!17|MId=o040190200171|Strong=5079 25 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_19:20!18|MId=o040190200181|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 26 זֹרַ֥ק זָרַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QALPASSIVE|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 parataxis _ Gloss=it.has.been.sprinkled|Ref=NUM_19:20!19|MId=o040190200191|Strong=2236|Frame=A1:040190200161;|Type=qatal 27-28 עָלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 עָלָ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_19:20!20|MId=o040190200201|Strong=5921 28 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_19:20!20|MId=o040190200202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29 טָמֵ֥א טָמֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].unclean|Ref=NUM_19:20!21|MId=o040190200211|Strong=2931|Type=adjective 30 הֽוּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=NUM_19:20!22|MId=o040190200221|Strong=1931|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=NUM_19:20!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
