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, I, LORD, princes — and what happens in the verse to word, you, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם לִ֤ינוּ פֹה֙ הַלַּ֔יְלָה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ דָּבָ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלָ֑י וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ שָׂרֵֽי־מוֹאָ֖ב עִם־בִּלְעָֽם׃ [And he said unto them: 'Lodge here this night, and I will bring you back word, as the LORD may speak unto me'; and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.799/) ## 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:778 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם לִ֤ינוּ פֹה֙ הַלַּ֔יְלָה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ דָּבָ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֵלָ֑י וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ שָׂרֵֽי־מוֹאָ֖ב עִם־בִּלְעָֽם׃ # verse = NUM.22.8 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:8!1|MId=o040220080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_22:8!1|MId=o040220080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040220070101;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲלֵי אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:8!2|MId=o040220080021|Strong=0413 4 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_22:8!2|MId=o040220080022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 לִ֤ינוּ לין VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=lodge|Ref=NUM_22:8!3|MId=o040220080031|Strong=3885a|Frame=A0:040220070021;040220070042;|Type=imperative 6 פֹה֙ פֹּה ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=here|Ref=NUM_22:8!4|MId=o040220080041|Strong=6311 7-8 הַלַּ֔יְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_22:8!5|MId=o040220080051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 לַּ֔יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=night|Ref=NUM_22:8!5|MId=o040220080052|Strong=3915 9-10 וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:8!6|MId=o040220080061|Strong=2050b 10 הֲשִׁבֹתִ֤י שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 conj _ Gloss=I.will.bring.back|Ref=NUM_22:8!6|MId=o040220080062|Strong=7725|Frame=AA:040220070101;A0:040220080072;A1:040220080081;|Type=weqatal 11-12 אֶתְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_22:8!7|MId=o040220080071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_22:8!7|MId=o040220080072|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13 דָּבָ֔ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 xcomp _ Gloss=word|Ref=NUM_22:8!8|MId=o040220080081|Strong=1697 14-15 כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=NUM_22:8!9|MId=o040220080091|Strong=3509a 15 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=NUM_22:8!9|MId=o040220080092|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 יְדַבֵּ֥ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.speak|Ref=NUM_22:8!10|MId=o040220080101|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:040220080111;|Type=yiqtol 17 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_22:8!11|MId=o040220080111|Strong=3068 18-19 אֵלָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_22:8!12|MId=o040220080121|Strong=0413 19 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_22:8!12|MId=o040220080122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20-21 וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_22:8!13|MId=o040220080131|Strong=2050b 21 יֵּשְׁב֥וּ יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.remained|Ref=NUM_22:8!13|MId=o040220080132|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:040220080141;|Type=wayyiqtol 22 שָׂרֵֽי־ שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 nsubj _ Gloss=the.leaders|Ref=NUM_22:8!14|MId=o040220080141|Strong=8269|SpaceAfter=No 23 מוֹאָ֖ב מוֹאָב PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moab|Ref=NUM_22:8!15|MId=o040220080151|Strong=4124 24 עִם־ עִם ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NUM_22:8!16|MId=o040220080161|Strong=5973|SpaceAfter=No 25 בִּלְעָֽם בִּלְעָם PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Balaam|Ref=NUM_22:8!17|MId=o040220080171|Strong=1109|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_22:8!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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 | | | | | | לִינוּ *lodge* | imperative · qal | | | | | | הֲשִׁבֹתִי *I will bring back* | weqatal · hiphil | ְכֶם *you* | דָּבָר *word* | | | | יְדַבֵּר *he will speak* | yiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יֵּשְׁבוּ *they remained* | wayyiqtol · qal | שָׂרֵֽי־ *the leaders* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
