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 — Balak, Balaam, Ir moab, Arnon — and what happens in the verse to Balaam, border, utmost part, 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. וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע בָּלָ֖ק כִּ֣י בָ֣א בִלְעָ֑ם וַיֵּצֵ֨א לִקְרָאת֜וֹ אֶל־עִ֣יר מוֹאָ֗ב אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־גְּב֣וּל אַרְנֹ֔ן אֲשֶׁ֖ר בִּקְצֵ֥ה הַגְּבֽוּל׃ [And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto Ir-moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.827/) ## 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:806 # text = וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע בָּלָ֖ק כִּ֣י בָ֣א בִלְעָ֑ם וַיֵּצֵ֨א לִקְרָאת֜וֹ אֶל־עִ֣יר מוֹאָ֗ב אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־גְּב֣וּל אַרְנֹ֔ן אֲשֶׁ֖ר בִּקְצֵ֥ה הַגְּבֽוּל׃ # verse = NUM.22.36 1-2 וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:36!1|MId=o040220360011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּשְׁמַ֥ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.heard|Ref=NUM_22:36!1|MId=o040220360012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:040220360021;A1:040220360041;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בָּלָ֖ק בָּלָק PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Balak|Ref=NUM_22:36!2|MId=o040220360021|Strong=1111 4 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=NUM_22:36!3|MId=o040220360031|Strong=3588 5 בָ֣א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.had.come|Ref=NUM_22:36!4|MId=o040220360041|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040220360051;|Type=qatal 6 בִלְעָ֑ם בִּלְעָם PROPN _ _ 5 nsubj _ Gloss=Balaam|Ref=NUM_22:36!5|MId=o040220360051|Strong=1109 7-8 וַיֵּצֵ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:36!6|MId=o040220360061|Strong=2050b 8 יֵּצֵ֨א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.out|Ref=NUM_22:36!6|MId=o040220360062|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:040220360021;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-11 לִקְרָאת֜וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:36!7|MId=o040220360071|Strong=3807a 10 קְרָאת קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=NUM_22:36!7|MId=o040220360072|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:040220360021;A1:040220360073;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 ֜וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_22:36!7|MId=o040220360073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:36!8|MId=o040220360081|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 עִ֣יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=NUM_22:36!9|MId=o040220360091|Strong=5892 14 מוֹאָ֗ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=NUM_22:36!10|MId=o040220360101|Strong=4124 15 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_22:36!11|MId=o040220360111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=[is].on|Ref=NUM_22:36!12|MId=o040220360121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 17 גְּב֣וּל גְּבוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.border|Ref=NUM_22:36!13|MId=o040220360131|Strong=1366 18 אַרְנֹ֔ן אַרְנוֹן PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Arnon|Ref=NUM_22:36!14|MId=o040220360141|Strong=0769 19 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_22:36!15|MId=o040220360151|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20-21 בִּקְצֵ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[is].at|Ref=NUM_22:36!16|MId=o040220360161|Strong=0871a 21 קְצֵ֥ה קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=NUM_22:36!16|MId=o040220360162|Strong=7097 22-23 הַגְּבֽוּל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_22:36!17|MId=o040220360171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 גְּבֽוּל גְּבוּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.border|Ref=NUM_22:36!17|MId=o040220360172|Strong=1366 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=NUM_22:36!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּשְׁמַע *he heard* | wayyiqtol · qal | בָּלָק *Balak* | בָא *he had come* | | | | בָא *he had come* | qatal · qal | בִלְעָם *Balaam* | | | | | יֵּצֵא *he went out* | wayyiqtol · qal | בָּלָק *Balak* | | | | | קְרָאת *meet* | infinitive construct · qal | בָּלָק *Balak* | וֹ *him* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
