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 — ye, us, place — and what happens in the verse to us, Egypt, place, 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. וְלָמָ֤ה הֶֽעֱלִיתֻ֙נוּ֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם לְהָבִ֣יא אֹתָ֔נוּ אֶל־הַמָּק֥וֹם הָרָ֖ע הַזֶּ֑ה לֹ֣א ׀ מְק֣וֹם זֶ֗רַע וּתְאֵנָ֤ה וְגֶ֙פֶן֙ וְרִמּ֔וֹן וּמַ֥יִם אַ֖יִן לִשְׁתּֽוֹת׃ [And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.731/) ## 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:711 # text = וְלָמָ֤ה הֶֽעֱלִיתֻ֙נוּ֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם לְהָבִ֣יא אֹתָ֔נוּ אֶל־הַמָּק֥וֹם הָרָ֖ע הַזֶּ֑ה לֹ֣א ׀ מְק֣וֹם זֶ֗רַע וּתְאֵנָ֤ה וְגֶ֙פֶן֙ וְרִמּ֔וֹן וּמַ֥יִם אַ֖יִן לִשְׁתּֽוֹת׃ # verse = NUM.20.5 1-3 וְלָמָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:5!1|MId=o040200050011|Strong=2050b 2 לָ לָמָה ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_20:5!1|MId=o040200050012|Strong=3807a 3 מָ֤ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 4 obl _ Gloss=why?|Ref=NUM_20:5!1|MId=o040200050013|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 4-5 הֶֽעֱלִיתֻ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הֶֽעֱלִיתֻ֙ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=did|Ref=NUM_20:5!2|MId=o040200050021|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:040200030041;040200020091;A0:040200050022;|Type=qatal 5 נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=you.bring.us.up|Ref=NUM_20:5!2|MId=o040200050022|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 6-7 מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_20:5!3|MId=o040200050031|Strong=4480 7 מִּצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=NUM_20:5!3|MId=o040200050032|Strong=4714 8-9 לְהָבִ֣יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_20:5!4|MId=o040200050041|Strong=3807a 9 הָבִ֣יא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 4 advcl _ Gloss=bring|Ref=NUM_20:5!4|MId=o040200050042|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:040200030041;040200020091;A0:040200050052;|Type=infinitive_construct 10-11 אֹתָ֔נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_20:5!5|MId=o040200050051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 11 ָ֔נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=us|Ref=NUM_20:5!5|MId=o040200050052|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_20:5!6|MId=o040200050061|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 הַמָּק֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_20:5!7|MId=o040200050071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 מָּק֥וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=NUM_20:5!7|MId=o040200050072|Strong=4725 15-16 הָרָ֖ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_20:5!8|MId=o040200050081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 רָ֖ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 amod _ Gloss=evil|Ref=NUM_20:5!8|MId=o040200050082|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 17-18 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_20:5!9|MId=o040200050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 14 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_20:5!9|MId=o040200050092|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_20:5!10|MId=o040200050101|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=NUM_20:5!10 21 מְק֣וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=a.place|Ref=NUM_20:5!11|MId=o040200050111|Strong=4725 22 זֶ֗רַע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.seed|Ref=NUM_20:5!12|MId=o040200050121|Strong=2233 23-24 וּתְאֵנָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:5!13|MId=o040200050131|Strong=2050b 24 תְאֵנָ֤ה תְּאֵנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=fig.tree|Ref=NUM_20:5!13|MId=o040200050132|Strong=8384 25-26 וְגֶ֙פֶן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:5!14|MId=o040200050141|Strong=2050b 26 גֶ֙פֶן֙ גֶּפֶן NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=vine|Ref=NUM_20:5!14|MId=o040200050142|Strong=1612 27-28 וְרִמּ֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:5!15|MId=o040200050151|Strong=2050b 28 רִמּ֔וֹן רִמּוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=pomegranate|Ref=NUM_20:5!15|MId=o040200050152|Strong=7416 29-30 וּמַ֥יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_20:5!16|MId=o040200050161|Strong=2050b 30 מַ֥יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 31 nsubj _ Gloss=water|Ref=NUM_20:5!16|MId=o040200050162|Strong=4325 31 אַ֖יִן אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=NUM_20:5!17|MId=o040200050171|Strong=0369|Type=negative 32-33 לִשְׁתּֽוֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_20:5!18|MId=o040200050181|Strong=3807a 33 שְׁתּֽוֹת שָׁתָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 31 advcl _ Gloss=drink|Ref=NUM_20:5!18|MId=o040200050182|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:040200040041;A1:040200050162;|Type=infinitive_construct 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=NUM_20:5!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
