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, We, I, me, hurt — and what happens in the verse to price, me, feet, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֵלָ֥יו בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֘לבַּֽמְסִלָּ֣ה נַעֲלֶה֒ וְאִם־מֵימֶ֤יךָ נִשְׁתֶּה֙ אֲנִ֣י וּמִקְנַ֔י וְנָתַתִּ֖י מִכְרָ֑ם רַ֥ק אֵין־דָּבָ֖ר בְּרַגְלַ֥י אֶֽעֱבֹֽרָה׃ [And the children of Israel said unto him: 'We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof; let me only pass through on my feet; there is no hurt.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.745/) ## 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:725 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֵלָ֥יו בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֘לבַּֽמְסִלָּ֣ה נַעֲלֶה֒ וְאִם־מֵימֶ֤יךָ נִשְׁתֶּה֙ אֲנִ֣י וּמִקְנַ֔י וְנָתַתִּ֖י מִכְרָ֑ם רַ֥ק אֵין־דָּבָ֖ר בְּרַגְלַ֥י אֶֽעֱבֹֽרָה׃ # verse = NUM.20.19 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:19!1|MId=o040200190011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֨וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NUM_20:19!1|MId=o040200190012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040200190031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָ֥יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָ֥י אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_20:19!2|MId=o040200190021|Strong=0413 4 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_20:19!2|MId=o040200190022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 בְּנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_20:19!3|MId=o040200190031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6-9 יִשְׂרָאֵ֘לבַּֽמְסִלָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_20:19!4|MId=o040200190041|Strong=3478 7 בַּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_20:19!5|MId=o040200190051|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_20:19!5|MId=o040200190051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מְסִלָּ֣ה מְסִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=highway|Ref=NUM_20:19!5|MId=o040200190052|Strong=4546 10 נַעֲלֶה֒ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=we.will.go.up|Ref=NUM_20:19!6|MId=o040200190061|Strong=5927|Frame=A0:040200190031;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:19!7|MId=o040200190071|Strong=2050b 12 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=NUM_20:19!7|MId=o040200190072|Strong=0518 13-14 מֵימֶ֤יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מֵימֶ֤י מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=waters|Ref=NUM_20:19!8|MId=o040200190081|Strong=4325 14 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_20:19!8|MId=o040200190082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15 נִשְׁתֶּה֙ שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 21 advcl _ Gloss=we.will.drink|Ref=NUM_20:19!9|MId=o040200190091|Strong=8354|Frame=A1:040200190081;A0:040200190101;040200190112;|Type=yiqtol 16 אֲנִ֣י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=NUM_20:19!10|MId=o040200190101|Strong=0589|Type=personal 17-19 וּמִקְנַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:19!11|MId=o040200190111|Strong=2050b 18 מִקְנ מִקְנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=livestock|Ref=NUM_20:19!11|MId=o040200190112|Strong=4735 19 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_20:19!11|MId=o040200190113|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְנָתַתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:19!12|MId=o040200190121|Strong=2050b 21 נָתַתִּ֖י נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=I.will.give|Ref=NUM_20:19!12|MId=o040200190122|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040200190031;A1:040200190131;|Type=weqatal 22-23 מִכְרָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִכְר מֶכֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=price|Ref=NUM_20:19!13|MId=o040200190131|Strong=4377 23 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_20:19!13|MId=o040200190132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 רַ֥ק רַק ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=NUM_20:19!14|MId=o040200190141|Strong=7535|Type=affirmation 25 אֵין־ אַיִן ADV _ _ 10 parataxis _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=NUM_20:19!15|MId=o040200190151|Strong=0369|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 26 דָּבָ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=a.thing|Ref=NUM_20:19!16|MId=o040200190161|Strong=1697 27-29 בְּרַגְלַ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_20:19!17|MId=o040200190171|Strong=0871a 28 רַגְל רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 30 obl _ Gloss=feet|Ref=NUM_20:19!17|MId=o040200190172|Strong=7272 29 ַ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_20:19!17|MId=o040200190173|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 30 אֶֽעֱבֹֽרָה עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 parataxis _ Gloss=let.me.pass.through|Ref=NUM_20:19!18|MId=o040200190181|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:040200190031;|Type=cohortative|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=NUM_20:19!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
