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 — that, LORD, I — and what happens in the verse to well, thence, people, 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. וּמִשָּׁ֖ם בְּאֵ֑רָה הִ֣וא הַבְּאֵ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ לְמֹשֶׁ֔ה אֱסֹף֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וְאֶתְּנָ֥ה לָהֶ֖ם מָֽיִם׃ס [And from thence to Beer; that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.771/) ## 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:751 # text = וּמִשָּׁ֖ם בְּאֵ֑רָה הִ֣וא הַבְּאֵ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ לְמֹשֶׁ֔ה אֱסֹף֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וְאֶתְּנָ֥ה לָהֶ֖ם מָֽיִם׃ס # verse = NUM.21.16 1-3 וּמִשָּׁ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_21:16!1|MId=o040210160011|Strong=2050b 2 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_21:16!1|MId=o040210160012|Strong=4480 3 שָּׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_21:16!1|MId=o040210160013|Strong=8033 4-5 בְּאֵ֑רָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּאֵ֑ר בְּאֵר PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_21:16!2|MId=o040210160021|Strong=0876 5 ָה ה X _ _ 4 nmod _ Gloss=Beer|Ref=NUM_21:16!2|MId=o040210160022|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 6 הִ֣וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=that|Ref=NUM_21:16!3|MId=o040210160031|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 7-8 הַבְּאֵ֗ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=NUM_21:16!4|MId=o040210160041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 בְּאֵ֗ר בְּאֵר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 acl _ Gloss=well|Ref=NUM_21:16!4|MId=o040210160042|Strong=0875 9 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_21:16!5|MId=o040210160051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10 אָמַ֤ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_21:16!6|MId=o040210160061|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040210160071;|Type=qatal 11 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_21:16!7|MId=o040210160071|Strong=3068 12-13 לְמֹשֶׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_21:16!8|MId=o040210160081|Strong=3807a 13 מֹשֶׁ֔ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_21:16!8|MId=o040210160082|Strong=4872 14 אֱסֹף֙ אָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 ccomp _ Gloss=gather|Ref=NUM_21:16!9|MId=o040210160091|Strong=0622|Frame=A0:040210160082;A1:040210160112;|Type=imperative 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_21:16!10|MId=o040210160101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_21:16!11|MId=o040210160111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=NUM_21:16!11|MId=o040210160112|Strong=5971 18-19 וְאֶתְּנָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_21:16!12|MId=o040210160121|Strong=2050b 19 אֶתְּנָ֥ה נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 14 conj _ Gloss=that.I.may.give|Ref=NUM_21:16!12|MId=o040210160122|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040210160071;A1:040210160141;|Type=cohortative 20-21 לָהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_21:16!13|MId=o040210160131|Strong=3807a 21 ָהֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_21:16!13|MId=o040210160132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22 מָֽיִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=water|Ref=NUM_21:16!14|MId=o040210160141|Strong=4325|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=NUM_21:16!14|SpaceAfter=No 24 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=NUM_21:16!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he said* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | אֱסֹף *gather* | imperative · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | עָם *people* | | | | אֶתְּנָה *that I may give* | cohortative · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מָֽיִם *water* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
