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 — people — and what happens in the verse to people, gods, 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. וַתִּקְרֶ֣אןָ לָעָ֔ם לְזִבְחֵ֖י אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֣אכַל הָעָ֔ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּלֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽן׃ [And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.895/) ## 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:868 # text = וַתִּקְרֶ֣אןָ לָעָ֔ם לְזִבְחֵ֖י אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ן וַיֹּ֣אכַל הָעָ֔ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּלֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽן׃ # verse = NUM.25.2 1-2 וַתִּקְרֶ֣אןָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_25:2!1|MId=o040250020011|Strong=2050b 2 תִּקְרֶ֣אןָ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.invited|Ref=NUM_25:2!1|MId=o040250020012|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:040250010081;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 לָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=NUM_25:2!2|MId=o040250020021|Strong=3807a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_25:2!2|MId=o040250020021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=NUM_25:2!2|MId=o040250020022|Strong=5971 6-7 לְזִבְחֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_25:2!3|MId=o040250020031|Strong=3807a 7 זִבְחֵ֖י זֶבַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.sacrifices|Ref=NUM_25:2!3|MId=o040250020032|Strong=2077 8-9 אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.gods|Ref=NUM_25:2!4|MId=o040250020041|Strong=0430 9 הֶ֑ן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_25:2!4|MId=o040250020042|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 10-11 וַיֹּ֣אכַל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_25:2!5|MId=o040250020051|Strong=2050b 11 יֹּ֣אכַל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.ate|Ref=NUM_25:2!5|MId=o040250020052|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:040250020062;A1:040250020032;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_25:2!6|MId=o040250020061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=NUM_25:2!6|MId=o040250020062|Strong=5971 14-18 וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּלֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_25:2!7|MId=o040250020071|Strong=2050b 15 יִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.bowed.down|Ref=NUM_25:2!7|MId=o040250020072|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:040250020062;|Type=wayyiqtol 16 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_25:2!8|MId=o040250020081|Strong=3807a 17 אלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=NUM_25:2!8|MId=o040250020082|Strong=0430 18 הֶֽן הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_25:2!8|MId=o040250020083|Strong=2004|Type=pronominal 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=NUM_25:2!8 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּקְרֶאןָ *they invited* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֹּאכַל *it ate* | wayyiqtol · qal | עָם *people* | זִבְחֵי *the sacrifices* | | | | יִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ *they bowed down* | wayyiqtol | עָם *people* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
