Numbers 23:13 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelo --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM.23.13/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Numbers](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM/) / [chapter 23](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM/23/) / 23:13 # Numbers 23:13 בְּמִדְבַּר **Who acts:** Balak, I, thou · **What happens:** say, come, pray, see, not see, curse · **To what, where:** thee, enemies, utmost part, me · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Numbers 23:13 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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, thou — and what happens in the verse to thee, enemies, utmost part, me, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֜יו בָּלָ֗ק לְכָה־נָּ֨א אִתִּ֜י אֶל־מָק֤וֹם אַחֵר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּרְאֶ֣נּוּ מִשָּׁ֔ם אֶ֚פֶס קָצֵ֣הוּ תִרְאֶ֔ה וְכֻלּ֖וֹ לֹ֣א תִרְאֶ֑ה וְקָבְנוֹ־לִ֖י מִשָּֽׁם׃ [And Balak said unto him: 'Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.848/) ## 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:824 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֜יו בָּלָ֗ק לְכָה־נָּ֨א אִתִּ֜י אֶל־מָק֤וֹם אַחֵר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּרְאֶ֣נּוּ מִשָּׁ֔ם אֶ֚פֶס קָצֵ֣הוּ תִרְאֶ֔ה וְכֻלּ֖וֹ לֹ֣א תִרְאֶ֑ה וְקָבְנוֹ־לִ֖י מִשָּֽׁם׃ # verse = NUM.23.13 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_23:13!1|MId=o040230130011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_23:13!1|MId=o040230130012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040230130031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֵלָ֜יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵלָ֜י אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_23:13!2|MId=o040230130021|Strong=0413 4 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_23:13!2|MId=o040230130022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 בָּלָ֗ק בָּלָק PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Balak|Ref=NUM_23:13!3|MId=o040230130031|Strong=1111 6-7 לְכָה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְכ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=come|Ref=NUM_23:13!5|MId=o040230130051|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:040230110041;|Type=imperative 7 ָה־ ה X _ _ 6 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_23:13!5|MId=o040230130052|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 8 נָּ֨א נָא INTJ _ _ 6 discourse _ Gloss=please|Ref=NUM_23:13!6|MId=o040230130061|Strong=4994|Type=interjection 9-10 אִתִּ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NUM_23:13!7|MId=o040230130071|Strong=0854 10 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_23:13!7|MId=o040230130072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_23:13!8|MId=o040230130081|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 12 מָק֤וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=a.place|Ref=NUM_23:13!9|MId=o040230130091|Strong=4725 13 אַחֵר֙ אַחֵר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 amod _ Gloss=another|Ref=NUM_23:13!10|MId=o040230130101|Strong=0312|Type=adjective 14 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=NUM_23:13!11|MId=o040230130111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 15-16 תִּרְאֶ֣נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 תִּרְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_23:13!12|MId=o040230130121|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040230130031;A1:040230130122;|Type=yiqtol 16 ֶ֣נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=will.see.it|Ref=NUM_23:13!12|MId=o040230130122|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 17-18 מִשָּׁ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_23:13!13|MId=o040230130131|Strong=4480 18 שָּׁ֔ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_23:13!13|MId=o040230130132|Strong=8033 19 אֶ֚פֶס אֶפֶס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=only|Ref=NUM_23:13!14|MId=o040230130141|Strong=0657 20-21 קָצֵ֣הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 קָצ קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=outskirt[s]|Ref=NUM_23:13!15|MId=o040230130151|Strong=7097 21 ֵ֣הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=NUM_23:13!15|MId=o040230130152|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 22 תִרְאֶ֔ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.see|Ref=NUM_23:13!16|MId=o040230130161|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040230110041;A1:040230130151;|Type=yiqtol 23-25 וְכֻלּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_23:13!17|MId=o040230130171|Strong=2050b 24 כֻלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_23:13!17|MId=o040230130172|Strong=3605 25 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=NUM_23:13!17|MId=o040230130173|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_23:13!18|MId=o040230130181|Strong=3808|Type=negative 27 תִרְאֶ֑ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.will.see|Ref=NUM_23:13!19|MId=o040230130191|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040230110041;A1:040230130173;|Type=yiqtol 28-30 וְקָבְנוֹ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_23:13!20|MId=o040230130201|Strong=2050b 29 קָב קָבַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=curse|Ref=NUM_23:13!20|MId=o040230130202|Strong=6895|Frame=A0:040230110041;A1:040230130203;|Type=imperative 30 ְנוֹ־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_23:13!20|MId=o040230130203|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 31-32 לִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 ל לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_23:13!21|MId=o040230130211|Strong=3807a 32 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_23:13!21|MId=o040230130212|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 33-34 מִשָּֽׁם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_23:13!22|MId=o040230130221|Strong=4480 34 שָּֽׁם שָׁם ADV _ _ 29 obl _ Gloss=there|Ref=NUM_23:13!22|MId=o040230130222|Strong=8033 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=NUM_23:13!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
