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 — ass, anger, angel — and what happens in the verse to angel, anger, foot, 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. וַתֵּ֨רֶא הָאָת֜וֹן אֶת־מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֗ה וַתִּלָּחֵץ֙ אֶל־הַקִּ֔יר וַתִּלְחַ֛ץ אֶת־רֶ֥גֶל בִּלְעָ֖ם אֶל־הַקִּ֑יר וַיֹּ֖סֶף לְהַכֹּתָֽהּ׃ [And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.816/) ## 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:795 # text = וַתֵּ֨רֶא הָאָת֜וֹן אֶת־מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֗ה וַתִּלָּחֵץ֙ אֶל־הַקִּ֔יר וַתִּלְחַ֛ץ אֶת־רֶ֥גֶל בִּלְעָ֖ם אֶל־הַקִּ֑יר וַיֹּ֖סֶף לְהַכֹּתָֽהּ׃ # verse = NUM.22.25 1-2 וַתֵּ֨רֶא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:25!1|MId=o040220250011|Strong=2050b 2 תֵּ֨רֶא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.saw|Ref=NUM_22:25!1|MId=o040220250012|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040220250022;A1:040220250041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 הָאָת֜וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_22:25!2|MId=o040220250021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 אָת֜וֹן אָתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=donkey|Ref=NUM_22:25!2|MId=o040220250022|Strong=0860 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_22:25!3|MId=o040220250031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 מַלְאַ֣ךְ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.angel|Ref=NUM_22:25!4|MId=o040220250041|Strong=4397 7 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_22:25!5|MId=o040220250051|Strong=3068 8-9 וַתִּלָּחֵץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:25!6|MId=o040220250061|Strong=2050b 9 תִּלָּחֵץ֙ לָחַץ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.squeezed.itself|Ref=NUM_22:25!6|MId=o040220250062|Strong=3905|Frame=A0:040220250022;|Type=wayyiqtol 10 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:25!7|MId=o040220250071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַקִּ֔יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_22:25!8|MId=o040220250081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 קִּ֔יר קִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=wall|Ref=NUM_22:25!8|MId=o040220250082|Strong=7023 13-14 וַתִּלְחַ֛ץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:25!9|MId=o040220250091|Strong=2050b 14 תִּלְחַ֛ץ לָחַץ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.squeezed|Ref=NUM_22:25!9|MId=o040220250092|Strong=3905|Frame=A0:040220250022;A1:040220250111;|Type=wayyiqtol 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_22:25!10|MId=o040220250101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16 רֶ֥גֶל רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=the.foot|Ref=NUM_22:25!11|MId=o040220250111|Strong=7272 17 בִּלְעָ֖ם בִּלְעָם PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Balaam|Ref=NUM_22:25!12|MId=o040220250121|Strong=1109 18 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:25!13|MId=o040220250131|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 הַקִּ֑יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_22:25!14|MId=o040220250141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 קִּ֑יר קִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=wall|Ref=NUM_22:25!14|MId=o040220250142|Strong=7023 21-22 וַיֹּ֖סֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:25!15|MId=o040220250151|Strong=2050b 22 יֹּ֖סֶף יָסַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.repeated|Ref=NUM_22:25!15|MId=o040220250152|Strong=3254|Frame=A0:040220250121;|Type=wayyiqtol 23-25 לְהַכֹּתָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:25!16|MId=o040220250161|Strong=3807a 24 הַכֹּת נָכָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 22 xcomp _ Gloss=strike|Ref=NUM_22:25!16|MId=o040220250162|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:040220250121;A0:040220250163;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_22:25!16|MId=o040220250163|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_22:25!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֵּרֶא *it saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | אָתוֹן *donkey* | מַלְאַךְ *the angel* | | | | תִּלָּחֵץ *it squeezed itself* | wayyiqtol · niphal | אָתוֹן *donkey* | | | | | תִּלְחַץ *it squeezed* | wayyiqtol · qal | אָתוֹן *donkey* | רֶגֶל *the foot* | | | | יֹּסֶף *he repeated* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | בִּלְעָם *of Balaam* | | | | | הַכֹּת *strike* | infinitive construct · hiphil | ָֽהּ *it* | | | בִּלְעָם *of Balaam* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
