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 — Balaam, Balak, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to anger, hands, thee, enemies, 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. וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֤ף בָּלָק֙ אֶל־בִּלְעָ֔ם וַיִּסְפֹּ֖ק אֶת־כַּפָּ֑יו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר בָּלָ֜ק אֶל־בִּלְעָ֗ם לָקֹ֤ב אֹֽיְבַי֙ קְרָאתִ֔יךָ וְהִנֵּה֙ בֵּרַ֣כְתָּ בָרֵ֔ךְ זֶ֖ה שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִֽים׃ [And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam: 'I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.877/) ## 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:851 # text = וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֤ף בָּלָק֙ אֶל־בִּלְעָ֔ם וַיִּסְפֹּ֖ק אֶת־כַּפָּ֑יו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר בָּלָ֜ק אֶל־בִּלְעָ֗ם לָקֹ֤ב אֹֽיְבַי֙ קְרָאתִ֔יךָ וְהִנֵּה֙ בֵּרַ֣כְתָּ בָרֵ֔ךְ זֶ֖ה שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִֽים׃ # verse = NUM.24.10 1-2 וַיִּֽחַר־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:10!1|MId=o040240100011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּֽחַר־ חָרָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.burned|Ref=NUM_24:10!1|MId=o040240100012|Strong=2734|Frame=A0:040240100021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אַ֤ף אַף NOUN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.anger|Ref=NUM_24:10!2|MId=o040240100021|Strong=0639|Type=affirmation 4 בָּלָק֙ בָּלָק PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Balak|Ref=NUM_24:10!3|MId=o040240100031|Strong=1111 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_24:10!4|MId=o040240100041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 בִּלְעָ֔ם בִּלְעָם PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Balaam|Ref=NUM_24:10!5|MId=o040240100051|Strong=1109 7-8 וַיִּסְפֹּ֖ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:10!6|MId=o040240100061|Strong=2050b 8 יִּסְפֹּ֖ק סָפַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.clapped|Ref=NUM_24:10!6|MId=o040240100062|Strong=5606|Frame=A0:040240100031;A1:040240100081;|Type=wayyiqtol 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_24:10!7|MId=o040240100071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 כַּפָּ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 כַּפָּ֑י כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 8 obj _ Gloss=palms|Ref=NUM_24:10!8|MId=o040240100081|Strong=3709 11 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_24:10!8|MId=o040240100082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:10!9|MId=o040240100091|Strong=2050b 13 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_24:10!9|MId=o040240100092|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040240100101;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 בָּלָ֜ק בָּלָק PROPN _ _ 13 nsubj _ Gloss=Balak|Ref=NUM_24:10!10|MId=o040240100101|Strong=1111 15 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_24:10!11|MId=o040240100111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 16 בִּלְעָ֗ם בִּלְעָם PROPN _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=Balaam|Ref=NUM_24:10!12|MId=o040240100121|Strong=1109 17-18 לָקֹ֤ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_24:10!13|MId=o040240100131|Strong=3807a 18 קֹ֤ב קָבַב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 advcl _ Gloss=curse|Ref=NUM_24:10!13|MId=o040240100132|Strong=6895|Frame=A0:040240100121;A1:040240100141;|Type=infinitive_construct 19-20 אֹֽיְבַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֹֽיְב אָיַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=enemies|Ref=NUM_24:10!14|MId=o040240100141|Strong=0341|Type=participle_active 20 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_24:10!14|MId=o040240100142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-22 קְרָאתִ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 קְרָאתִ֔י קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 13 ccomp _ Gloss=I|Ref=NUM_24:10!15|MId=o040240100151|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:040240100101;A1:040240100152;|Type=qatal 22 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=summoned.you|Ref=NUM_24:10!15|MId=o040240100152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְהִנֵּה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:10!16|MId=o040240100161|Strong=2050b 24 הִנֵּה֙ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 25 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=NUM_24:10!16|MId=o040240100162|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 25 בֵּרַ֣כְתָּ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 21 conj _ Gloss=you.have.blessed|Ref=NUM_24:10!17|MId=o040240100171|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:040240100121;A1:040240100141;|Type=qatal 26 בָרֵ֔ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 25 obl:npmod _ Gloss=actually.(bless)|Ref=NUM_24:10!18|MId=o040240100181|Strong=1288|Type=infinitive_absolute 27 זֶ֖ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 29 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_24:10!19|MId=o040240100191|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 28 שָׁלֹ֥שׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=NUM_24:10!20|MId=o040240100201|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 29 פְּעָמִֽים פַּעַם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 25 obl _ Gloss=times|Ref=NUM_24:10!21|MId=o040240100211|Strong=6471|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=NUM_24:10!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
