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 — children, people, Miriam — and what happens in the verse to wilderness, Kadesh, 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. וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ בְנֵֽי־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל כָּל־הָ֨עֵדָ֤ה מִדְבַּר־צִן֙ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב הָעָ֖ם בְּקָדֵ֑שׁ וַתָּ֤מָת שָׁם֙ מִרְיָ֔ם וַתִּקָּבֵ֖ר שָֽׁם׃ [And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.727/) ## 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:707 # text = וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ בְנֵֽי־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל כָּל־הָ֨עֵדָ֤ה מִדְבַּר־צִן֙ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב הָעָ֖ם בְּקָדֵ֑שׁ וַתָּ֤מָת שָׁם֙ מִרְיָ֔ם וַתִּקָּבֵ֖ר שָֽׁם׃ # verse = NUM.20.1 1-2 וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:1!1|MId=o040200010011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּבֹ֣אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.came|Ref=NUM_20:1!1|MId=o040200010012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040200010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_20:1!2|MId=o040200010021|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_20:1!3|MId=o040200010031|Strong=3478 5 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 appos _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_20:1!4|MId=o040200010041|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הָ֨עֵדָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ֨ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_20:1!5|MId=o040200010051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עֵדָ֤ה עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=congregation|Ref=NUM_20:1!5|MId=o040200010052|Strong=5712 8 מִדְבַּר־ מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.wilderness|Ref=NUM_20:1!6|MId=o040200010061|Strong=4057|SpaceAfter=No 9 צִן֙ צִן PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zin|Ref=NUM_20:1!7|MId=o040200010071|Strong=6790 10-12 בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_20:1!8|MId=o040200010081|Strong=0871a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_20:1!8|MId=o040200010081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 חֹ֣דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=month|Ref=NUM_20:1!8|MId=o040200010082|Strong=2320 13-14 הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_20:1!9|MId=o040200010091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 רִאשׁ֔וֹן רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 amod _ Gloss=first|Ref=NUM_20:1!9|MId=o040200010092|Strong=7223|Type=ordinal_number 15-16 וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:1!10|MId=o040200010101|Strong=2050b 16 יֵּ֥שֶׁב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.remained|Ref=NUM_20:1!10|MId=o040200010102|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:040200010112;|Type=wayyiqtol 17-18 הָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_20:1!11|MId=o040200010111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=NUM_20:1!11|MId=o040200010112|Strong=5971 19-20 בְּקָדֵ֑שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_20:1!12|MId=o040200010121|Strong=0871a 20 קָדֵ֑שׁ קָדֵשׁ PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Kadesh|Ref=NUM_20:1!12|MId=o040200010122|Strong=6946 21-22 וַתָּ֤מָת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:1!13|MId=o040200010131|Strong=2050b 22 תָּ֤מָת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.died|Ref=NUM_20:1!13|MId=o040200010132|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:040200010151;|Type=wayyiqtol 23 שָׁם֙ שָׁם ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_20:1!14|MId=o040200010141|Strong=8033 24 מִרְיָ֔ם מִרְיָם PROPN _ _ 22 nsubj _ Gloss=Miriam|Ref=NUM_20:1!15|MId=o040200010151|Strong=4813 25-26 וַתִּקָּבֵ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:1!16|MId=o040200010161|Strong=2050b 26 תִּקָּבֵ֖ר קָבַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=she.was.buried|Ref=NUM_20:1!16|MId=o040200010162|Strong=6912|Frame=A1:040200010151;|Type=wayyiqtol 27 שָֽׁם שָׁם ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_20:1!17|MId=o040200010171|Strong=8033|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_20:1!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּבֹאוּ *they came* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵֽי־ *the people* | | | | | יֵּשֶׁב *it remained* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | | | | | תָּמָת *she died* | wayyiqtol · qal | מִרְיָם *Miriam* | | | | | תִּקָּבֵר *she was buried* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | מִרְיָם *Miriam* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
