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 — Edom, Seir, Israel — and what happens in the verse to possession, 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. וְהָיָ֨ה אֱד֜וֹם יְרֵשָׁ֗ה וְהָיָ֧ה יְרֵשָׁ֛ה שֵׂעִ֖יר אֹיְבָ֑יו וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עֹ֥שֶׂה חָֽיִל׃ [And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also, even his enemies, shall be a possession; while Israel doeth valiantly.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.885/) ## 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:859 # text = וְהָיָ֨ה אֱד֜וֹם יְרֵשָׁ֗ה וְהָיָ֧ה יְרֵשָׁ֛ה שֵׂעִ֖יר אֹיְבָ֑יו וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עֹ֥שֶׂה חָֽיִל׃ # verse = NUM.24.18 1-2 וְהָיָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:18!1|MId=o040240180011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֨ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=NUM_24:18!1|MId=o040240180012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040240180021;|Type=weqatal 3 אֱד֜וֹם אֱדוֹם PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Edom|Ref=NUM_24:18!2|MId=o040240180021|Strong=0123 4 יְרֵשָׁ֗ה יְרֵשָׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.possession|Ref=NUM_24:18!3|MId=o040240180031|Strong=3424 5-6 וְהָיָ֧ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:18!4|MId=o040240180041|Strong=2050b 6 הָיָ֧ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=NUM_24:18!4|MId=o040240180042|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040240180061;|Type=weqatal 7 יְרֵשָׁ֛ה יְרֵשָׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=a.possession|Ref=NUM_24:18!5|MId=o040240180051|Strong=3424 8 שֵׂעִ֖יר שֵׂעִיר PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Seir|Ref=NUM_24:18!6|MId=o040240180061|Strong=8165 9-10 אֹיְבָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֹיְבָ֑י אָיַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=enemies|Ref=NUM_24:18!7|MId=o040240180071|Strong=0341|Type=participle_active 10 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=NUM_24:18!7|MId=o040240180072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:18!8|MId=o040240180081|Strong=2050b 12 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 13 nsubj _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=NUM_24:18!8|MId=o040240180082|Strong=3478 13 עֹ֥שֶׂה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[will.be].doing|Ref=NUM_24:18!9|MId=o040240180091|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040240180082;A1:040240180101;|Type=participle_active 14 חָֽיִל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=strength|Ref=NUM_24:18!10|MId=o040240180101|Strong=2428|SpaceAfter=No 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=NUM_24:18!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it will be* | weqatal · qal | אֱדוֹם *Edom* | | | | | הָיָה *it will be* | weqatal · qal | שֵׂעִיר *Seir* | | | | | עֹשֶׂה *\[will be\] doing* | participle active · qal | יִשְׂרָאֵל *Israel* | חָֽיִל *strength* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
