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 — None, one, LORD, shouting — and what happens in the verse to iniquity, Jacob, perverseness, Israel, 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. לֹֽא־הִבִּ֥יט אָ֙וֶן֙ בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב וְלֹא־רָאָ֥ה עָמָ֖ל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהָיו֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וּתְרוּעַ֥ת מֶ֖לֶךְ בּֽוֹ׃ [None hath beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath one seen perverseness in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the shouting for the King is among them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.857/) ## 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:832 # text = לֹֽא־הִבִּ֥יט אָ֙וֶן֙ בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב וְלֹא־רָאָ֥ה עָמָ֖ל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהָיו֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וּתְרוּעַ֥ת מֶ֖לֶךְ בּֽוֹ׃ # verse = NUM.23.21 1 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_23:21!1|MId=o040230210011|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 הִבִּ֥יט נָבַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.looked.at|Ref=NUM_23:21!2|MId=o040230210021|Strong=5027|Frame=AA:040230190031;A0:040230210031;|Type=qatal 3 אָ֙וֶן֙ אָוֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=disaster|Ref=NUM_23:21!3|MId=o040230210031|Strong=0205 4-5 בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_23:21!4|MId=o040230210041|Strong=0871a 5 יַעֲקֹ֔ב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=NUM_23:21!4|MId=o040230210042|Strong=3290 6-7 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_23:21!5|MId=o040230210051|Strong=2050b 7 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_23:21!5|MId=o040230210052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 8 רָאָ֥ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.has.seen|Ref=NUM_23:21!6|MId=o040230210061|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040230190031;A1:040230210071;|Type=qatal 9 עָמָ֖ל עָמָל NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=trouble|Ref=NUM_23:21!7|MId=o040230210071|Strong=5999 10-11 בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_23:21!8|MId=o040230210081|Strong=0871a 11 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=NUM_23:21!8|MId=o040230210082|Strong=3478 12 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_23:21!9|MId=o040230210091|Strong=3068 13-14 אֱלֹהָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֱלֹהָי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=NUM_23:21!10|MId=o040230210101|Strong=0430 14 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_23:21!10|MId=o040230210102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 עִמּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=[is].with|Ref=NUM_23:21!11|MId=o040230210111|Strong=5973 16 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 parataxis _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_23:21!11|MId=o040230210112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וּתְרוּעַ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_23:21!12|MId=o040230210121|Strong=2050b 18 תְרוּעַ֥ת תְּרוּעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=a.shout|Ref=NUM_23:21!12|MId=o040230210122|Strong=8643 19 מֶ֖לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.king|Ref=NUM_23:21!13|MId=o040230210131|Strong=4428 20-21 בּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[is].among|Ref=NUM_23:21!14|MId=o040230210141|Strong=0871a 21 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 conj _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_23:21!14|MId=o040230210142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=NUM_23:21!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** הִבִּיט *he has looked at* | qatal · hiphil | אָוֶן *disaster* | | | | | **not** רָאָה *he has seen* | qatal · qal | | עָמָל *trouble* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
