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 — Heshbon, king — and what happens in the verse to city, land, hand, 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. כִּ֣י חֶשְׁבּ֔וֹן עִ֗יר סִיחֹ֛ן מֶ֥לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֖י הִ֑וא וְה֣וּא נִלְחַ֗ם בְּמֶ֤לֶךְ מוֹאָב֙ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן וַיִּקַּ֧ח אֶת־כָּל־אַרְצ֛וֹ מִיָּד֖וֹ עַד־אַרְנֹֽן׃ [For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.782/) ## 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:761 # text = כִּ֣י חֶשְׁבּ֔וֹן עִ֗יר סִיחֹ֛ן מֶ֥לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֖י הִ֑וא וְה֣וּא נִלְחַ֗ם בְּמֶ֤לֶךְ מוֹאָב֙ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן וַיִּקַּ֧ח אֶת־כָּל־אַרְצ֛וֹ מִיָּד֖וֹ עַד־אַרְנֹֽן׃ # verse = NUM.21.26 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_21:26!1|MId=o040210260011|Strong=3588 2 חֶשְׁבּ֔וֹן חֶשְׁבּוֹן PROPN _ _ 3 dislocated _ Gloss=Heshbon|Ref=NUM_21:26!2|MId=o040210260021|Strong=2809 3 עִ֗יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[was].the.city|Ref=NUM_21:26!3|MId=o040210260031|Strong=5892 4 סִיחֹ֛ן סִיחוֹן PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Sihon|Ref=NUM_21:26!4|MId=o040210260041|Strong=5511 5 מֶ֥לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=NUM_21:26!5|MId=o040210260051|Strong=4428 6-7 הָאֱמֹרִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_21:26!6|MId=o040210260061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אֱמֹרִ֖י אֱמֹרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.Amorite[s]|Ref=NUM_21:26!6|MId=o040210260062|Strong=0567|Type=gentilic 8 הִ֑וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_21:26!7|MId=o040210260071|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 9-10 וְה֣וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_21:26!8|MId=o040210260081|Strong=2050b 10 ה֣וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=NUM_21:26!8|MId=o040210260082|Strong=1931|Type=personal 11 נִלְחַ֗ם לָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.had.waged.war|Ref=NUM_21:26!9|MId=o040210260091|Strong=3898|Frame=A0:040210260082;|Type=qatal 12-13 בְּמֶ֤לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=NUM_21:26!10|MId=o040210260101|Strong=0871a 13 מֶ֤לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=NUM_21:26!10|MId=o040210260102|Strong=4428 14 מוֹאָב֙ מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=NUM_21:26!11|MId=o040210260111|Strong=4124 15-16 הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_21:26!12|MId=o040210260121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 רִאשׁ֔וֹן רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 amod _ Gloss=former|Ref=NUM_21:26!12|MId=o040210260122|Strong=7223|Type=ordinal_number 17-18 וַיִּקַּ֧ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_21:26!13|MId=o040210260131|Strong=2050b 18 יִּקַּ֧ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.had.taken|Ref=NUM_21:26!13|MId=o040210260132|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:040210260041;A1:040210260161;|Type=wayyiqtol 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_21:26!14|MId=o040210260141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_21:26!15|MId=o040210260151|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 אַרְצ֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אַרְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=land|Ref=NUM_21:26!16|MId=o040210260161|Strong=0776 22 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_21:26!16|MId=o040210260162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-25 מִיָּד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_21:26!17|MId=o040210260171|Strong=4480 24 יָּד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=NUM_21:26!17|MId=o040210260172|Strong=3027 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_21:26!17|MId=o040210260173|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_21:26!18|MId=o040210260181|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 27 אַרְנֹֽן אַרְנוֹן PROPN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=Arnon|Ref=NUM_21:26!19|MId=o040210260191|Strong=0769|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_21:26!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נִלְחַם *he had waged war* | qatal · niphal | הוּא *he* | | | | | יִּקַּח *he had taken* | wayyiqtol · qal | סִיחֹן *of Sihon* | אַרְצ *land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
