Numbers 24:11 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM.24.11/) [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 24](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM/24/) / 24:11 # Numbers 24:11 בְּמִדְבַּר **Who acts:** thou, I, LORD · **What happens:** flee, think, promote, keep back · **To what, where:** place, thee, honour This is Numbers 24:11 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 — thou, I, LORD — and what happens in the verse to place, thee, honour, 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. וְעַתָּ֖ה בְּרַח־לְךָ֣ אֶל־מְקוֹמֶ֑ךָ אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ כַּבֵּ֣ד אֲכַבֶּדְךָ֔ וְהִנֵּ֛ה מְנָעֲךָ֥ יְהוָ֖ה מִכָּבֽוֹד׃ [Therefore now flee thou to thy place; I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.878/) ## 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:852 # text = וְעַתָּ֖ה בְּרַח־לְךָ֣ אֶל־מְקוֹמֶ֑ךָ אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ כַּבֵּ֣ד אֲכַבֶּדְךָ֔ וְהִנֵּ֛ה מְנָעֲךָ֥ יְהוָ֖ה מִכָּבֽוֹד׃ # verse = NUM.24.11 1-2 וְעַתָּ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:11!1|MId=o040240110011|Strong=2050b 2 עַתָּ֖ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=NUM_24:11!1|MId=o040240110012|Strong=6258 3 בְּרַח־ בָּרַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=flee|Ref=NUM_24:11!2|MId=o040240110021|Strong=1272|Frame=A0:040240100121;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 לְךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ל לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(for|Ref=NUM_24:11!3|MId=o040240110031|Strong=3807a 5 ְךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=NUM_24:11!3|MId=o040240110032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_24:11!4|MId=o040240110041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 מְקוֹמֶ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מְקוֹמ מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=NUM_24:11!5|MId=o040240110051|Strong=4725 8 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_24:11!5|MId=o040240110052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.said|Ref=NUM_24:11!6|MId=o040240110061|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040240100101;A1:040240110081;|Type=qatal 10 כַּבֵּ֣ד כָּבֵד VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 11 obl:npmod _ Gloss=surely.(honor)|Ref=NUM_24:11!7|MId=o040240110071|Strong=3513|Type=infinitive_absolute 11-12 אֲכַבֶּדְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֲכַבֶּד כָּבֵד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 ccomp _ Gloss=I|Ref=NUM_24:11!8|MId=o040240110081|Strong=3513|Frame=A0:040240100101;A1:040240110082;|Type=yiqtol 12 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=will.honor.you|Ref=NUM_24:11!8|MId=o040240110082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְהִנֵּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:11!9|MId=o040240110091|Strong=2050b 14 הִנֵּ֛ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 15 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=NUM_24:11!9|MId=o040240110092|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 15-16 מְנָעֲךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מְנָע מָנַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=NUM_24:11!10|MId=o040240110101|Strong=4513|Frame=A1:040240110102;A0:040240110111;|Type=qatal 16 ֲךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=has.withheld.you|Ref=NUM_24:11!10|MId=o040240110102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_24:11!11|MId=o040240110111|Strong=3068 18-19 מִכָּבֽוֹד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_24:11!12|MId=o040240110121|Strong=4480 19 כָּבֽוֹד כָּבוֹד NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=honor|Ref=NUM_24:11!12|MId=o040240110122|Strong=3519 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=NUM_24:11!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בְּרַח־ *flee* | imperative · qal | | | | | | אָמַרְתִּי *I said* | qatal · qal | | אֲכַבֶּד *I* | | | | אֲכַבֶּד *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ְךָ *will honor you* | | | | מְנָע *he* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ֲךָ *has withheld you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
