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 — and what happens in the verse to way, 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. וַיָּ֣קָם בִּלְעָ֔ם וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ וַיָּ֣שָׁב לִמְקֹמ֑וֹ וְגַם־בָּלָ֖ק הָלַ֥ךְ לְדַרְכּֽוֹ׃פ [And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.893/) ## 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:866 # text = וַיָּ֣קָם בִּלְעָ֔ם וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ וַיָּ֣שָׁב לִמְקֹמ֑וֹ וְגַם־בָּלָ֖ק הָלַ֥ךְ לְדַרְכּֽוֹ׃פ # verse = NUM.24.25 1-2 וַיָּ֣קָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:25!1|MId=o040240250011|Strong=2050b 2 יָּ֣קָם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.arose|Ref=NUM_24:25!1|MId=o040240250012|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:040240250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בִּלְעָ֔ם בִּלְעָם PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Balaam|Ref=NUM_24:25!2|MId=o040240250021|Strong=1109 4-5 וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:25!3|MId=o040240250031|Strong=2050b 5 יֵּ֖לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=NUM_24:25!3|MId=o040240250032|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:040240250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 6-7 וַיָּ֣שָׁב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:25!4|MId=o040240250041|Strong=2050b 7 יָּ֣שָׁב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.returned|Ref=NUM_24:25!4|MId=o040240250042|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:040240250021;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-10 לִמְקֹמ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_24:25!5|MId=o040240250051|Strong=3807a 9 מְקֹמ מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=NUM_24:25!5|MId=o040240250052|Strong=4725 10 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_24:25!5|MId=o040240250053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_24:25!6|MId=o040240250061|Strong=2050b 12 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=NUM_24:25!6|MId=o040240250062|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 13 בָּלָ֖ק בָּלָק PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Balak|Ref=NUM_24:25!7|MId=o040240250071|Strong=1111 14 הָלַ֥ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=NUM_24:25!8|MId=o040240250081|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:040240250071;|Type=qatal 15-17 לְדַרְכּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_24:25!9|MId=o040240250091|Strong=3807a 16 דַרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=way|Ref=NUM_24:25!9|MId=o040240250092|Strong=1870 17 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_24:25!9|MId=o040240250093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=NUM_24:25!9|SpaceAfter=No 19 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=NUM_24:25!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָּקָם *he arose* | wayyiqtol · qal | בִּלְעָם *Balaam* | | | | | יֵּלֶךְ *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | בִּלְעָם *Balaam* | | | | | יָּשָׁב *he returned* | wayyiqtol · qal | בִּלְעָם *Balaam* | | | | | הָלַךְ *he went* | qatal · qal | בָּלָק *Balak* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
