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 — Midianites, Peor, Cozbi — and what happens in the verse to you, matter, Cozbi, 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. כִּ֣י צֹרְרִ֥ים הֵם֙ לָכֶ֔ם בְּנִכְלֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־נִכְּל֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם עַל־דְּבַר־פְּע֑וֹר וְעַל־דְּבַ֞ר כָּזְבִּ֨י בַת־נְשִׂ֤יא מִדְיָן֙ אֲחֹתָ֔ם הַמֻּכָּ֥ה בְיוֹם־הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה עַל־דְּבַר־פְּעֽוֹר׃ [for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.912/) ## 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:884 # text = כִּ֣י צֹרְרִ֥ים הֵם֙ לָכֶ֔ם בְּנִכְלֵיהֶ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־נִכְּל֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם עַל־דְּבַר־פְּע֑וֹר וְעַל־דְּבַ֞ר כָּזְבִּ֨י בַת־נְשִׂ֤יא מִדְיָן֙ אֲחֹתָ֔ם הַמֻּכָּ֥ה בְיוֹם־הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה עַל־דְּבַר־פְּעֽוֹר׃ # verse = NUM.25.18 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_25:18!1|MId=o040250180011|Strong=3588 2 צֹרְרִ֥ים צָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].treating.as.foes|Ref=NUM_25:18!2|MId=o040250180021|Strong=6887a|Frame=A0:040250180031;|Type=participle_active 3 הֵם֙ הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=NUM_25:18!3|MId=o040250180031|Strong=1992|Type=personal 4-5 לָכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ל לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=NUM_25:18!4|MId=o040250180041|Strong=3807a 5 ָכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_25:18!4|MId=o040250180042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6-8 בְּנִכְלֵיהֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_25:18!5|MId=o040250180051|Strong=0871a 7 נִכְלֵי נֵכֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=deceitfulness(es)|Ref=NUM_25:18!5|MId=o040250180052|Strong=5231 8 הֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_25:18!5|MId=o040250180053|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=NUM_25:18!6|MId=o040250180061|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 10 נִכְּל֥וּ נָכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.have.dealt.deceptively|Ref=NUM_25:18!7|MId=o040250180071|Strong=5230|Frame=A0:040250170032;|Type=qatal 11-12 לָכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_25:18!8|MId=o040250180081|Strong=3807a 12 ָכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_25:18!8|MId=o040250180082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_25:18!9|MId=o040250180091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the.matter|Ref=NUM_25:18!10|MId=o040250180101|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 15 פְּע֑וֹר פְּעוֹר PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Peor|Ref=NUM_25:18!11|MId=o040250180111|Strong=6465 16-17 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_25:18!12|MId=o040250180121|Strong=2050b 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_25:18!12|MId=o040250180122|Strong=5921 18 דְּבַ֞ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=the.matter|Ref=NUM_25:18!13|MId=o040250180131|Strong=1697 19 כָּזְבִּ֨י כָּזְבִי PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Cozbi|Ref=NUM_25:18!14|MId=o040250180141|Strong=3579 20 בַת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=the.daughter|Ref=NUM_25:18!15|MId=o040250180151|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 21 נְשִׂ֤יא נָשִׂיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.leader|Ref=NUM_25:18!16|MId=o040250180161|Strong=5387 22 מִדְיָן֙ מִדְיָן PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Midian|Ref=NUM_25:18!17|MId=o040250180171|Strong=4080 23-24 אֲחֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֲחֹת אָחוֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=sister|Ref=NUM_25:18!18|MId=o040250180181|Strong=0269 24 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_25:18!18|MId=o040250180182|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-26 הַמֻּכָּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=[who|Ref=NUM_25:18!19|MId=o040250180191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 מֻּכָּ֥ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing 19 appos _ Gloss=was].struck.down|Ref=NUM_25:18!19|MId=o040250180192|Strong=5221|Frame=A1:040250180141;|Type=participle_passive 27-28 בְיוֹם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_25:18!20|MId=o040250180201|Strong=0871a 28 יוֹם־ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=NUM_25:18!20|MId=o040250180202|Strong=3117 29-30 הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_25:18!21|MId=o040250180211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 מַּגֵּפָ֖ה מַגֵּפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.plague|Ref=NUM_25:18!21|MId=o040250180212|Strong=4046 31 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_25:18!22|MId=o040250180221|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 32 דְּבַר־ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=the.matter|Ref=NUM_25:18!23|MId=o040250180231|Strong=1697|SpaceAfter=No 33 פְּעֽוֹר פְּעוֹר PROPN _ _ 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Peor|Ref=NUM_25:18!24|MId=o040250180241|Strong=6465|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=NUM_25:18!24 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
