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 — angel, thou, I, way — and what happens in the verse to ass, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה עַל־מָ֗ה הִכִּ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־אֲתֹ֣נְךָ֔ זֶ֖ה שָׁל֣וֹשׁ רְגָלִ֑ים הִנֵּ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ יָצָ֣אתִי לְשָׂטָ֔ן כִּֽי־יָרַ֥ט הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ לְנֶגְדִּֽי׃ [And the angel of the LORD said unto him: 'Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is contrary unto me;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.823/) ## 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:802 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ מַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה עַל־מָ֗ה הִכִּ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־אֲתֹ֣נְךָ֔ זֶ֖ה שָׁל֣וֹשׁ רְגָלִ֑ים הִנֵּ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ יָצָ֣אתִי לְשָׂטָ֔ן כִּֽי־יָרַ֥ט הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ לְנֶגְדִּֽי׃ # verse = NUM.22.32 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:32!1|MId=o040220320011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_22:32!1|MId=o040220320012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040220320031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:32!2|MId=o040220320021|Strong=0413 4 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_22:32!2|MId=o040220320022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 מַלְאַ֣ךְ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.angel|Ref=NUM_22:32!3|MId=o040220320031|Strong=4397 6 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_22:32!4|MId=o040220320041|Strong=3068 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=concerning|Ref=NUM_22:32!5|MId=o040220320051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8 מָ֗ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 9 obl _ Gloss=what?|Ref=NUM_22:32!6|MId=o040220320061|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 9 הִכִּ֙יתָ֙ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=did.you.strike|Ref=NUM_22:32!7|MId=o040220320071|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:040220310051;A0:040220320091;|Type=qatal 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_22:32!8|MId=o040220320081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 אֲתֹ֣נְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֲתֹ֣נ אָתוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=donkey|Ref=NUM_22:32!9|MId=o040220320091|Strong=0860 12 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.female|Ref=NUM_22:32!9|MId=o040220320092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13 זֶ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 15 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_22:32!10|MId=o040220320101|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 14 שָׁל֣וֹשׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=NUM_22:32!11|MId=o040220320111|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 15 רְגָלִ֑ים רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=feet|Ref=NUM_22:32!12|MId=o040220320121|Strong=7272 16 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 18 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=NUM_22:32!13|MId=o040220320131|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 17 אָנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=NUM_22:32!14|MId=o040220320141|Strong=0595|Type=personal 18 יָצָ֣אתִי יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 parataxis _ Gloss=I.came.out|Ref=NUM_22:32!15|MId=o040220320151|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:040220320141;|Type=qatal 19-20 לְשָׂטָ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:32!16|MId=o040220320161|Strong=3807a 20 שָׂטָ֔ן שָׂטָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=an.adversary|Ref=NUM_22:32!16|MId=o040220320162|Strong=7854 21 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 22 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_22:32!17|MId=o040220320171|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 22 יָרַ֥ט יָרַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 advcl _ Gloss=it.is.precipitate|Ref=NUM_22:32!18|MId=o040220320181|Strong=3399|Frame=A0:040220320192;|Type=qatal 23-24 הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_22:32!19|MId=o040220320191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 דֶּ֖רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=way|Ref=NUM_22:32!19|MId=o040220320192|Strong=1870 25-27 לְנֶגְדִּֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:32!20|MId=o040220320201|Strong=3807a 26 נֶגְדּ נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_22:32!20|MId=o040220320202|Strong=5048 27 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_22:32!20|MId=o040220320203|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_22:32!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: wh-question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מַלְאַךְ *the angel* | | | | | הִכִּיתָ *did you strike* | qatal · hiphil | אֲתֹנ *donkey* | | | | | יָצָאתִי *I came out* | qatal · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* | | | | | יָרַט *it is precipitate* | qatal · qal | דֶּרֶךְ *way* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
