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 — LORD, fierce anger — and what happens in the verse to chiefs, face, Israel, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה קַ֚ח אֶת־כָּל־רָאשֵׁ֣י הָעָ֔ם וְהוֹקַ֥ע אוֹתָ֛ם לַיהוָ֖ה נֶ֣גֶד הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ וְיָשֹׁ֛ב חֲר֥וֹן אַף־יְהוָ֖ה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD in face of the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.897/) ## 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:870 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה קַ֚ח אֶת־כָּל־רָאשֵׁ֣י הָעָ֔ם וְהוֹקַ֥ע אוֹתָ֛ם לַיהוָ֖ה נֶ֣גֶד הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ וְיָשֹׁ֛ב חֲר֥וֹן אַף־יְהוָ֖ה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = NUM.25.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_25:4!1|MId=o040250040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_25:4!1|MId=o040250040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040250040021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_25:4!2|MId=o040250040021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_25:4!3|MId=o040250040031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֗ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_25:4!4|MId=o040250040041|Strong=4872 6 קַ֚ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=NUM_25:4!5|MId=o040250040051|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:040250040041;A1:040250040081;|Type=imperative 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_25:4!6|MId=o040250040061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=NUM_25:4!7|MId=o040250040071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 9 רָאשֵׁ֣י רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.chiefs|Ref=NUM_25:4!8|MId=o040250040081|Strong=7218 10-11 הָעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_25:4!9|MId=o040250040091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 עָ֔ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_25:4!9|MId=o040250040092|Strong=5971 12-13 וְהוֹקַ֥ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_25:4!10|MId=o040250040101|Strong=2050b 13 הוֹקַ֥ע יָקַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=impale|Ref=NUM_25:4!10|MId=o040250040102|Strong=3363|Frame=AA:040250040041;A0:040250040112;|Type=imperative 14-15 אוֹתָ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_25:4!11|MId=o040250040111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15 ָ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_25:4!11|MId=o040250040112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16-17 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_25:4!12|MId=o040250040121|Strong=3807a 17 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_25:4!12|MId=o040250040122|Strong=3068 18 נֶ֣גֶד נֶגֶד NOUN _ _ 13 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_25:4!13|MId=o040250040131|Strong=5048 19-20 הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_25:4!14|MId=o040250040141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 שָּׁ֑מֶשׁ שֶׁמֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=sun|Ref=NUM_25:4!14|MId=o040250040142|Strong=8121 21-22 וְיָשֹׁ֛ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=NUM_25:4!15|MId=o040250040151|Strong=2050b 22 יָשֹׁ֛ב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=that.it.may.turn.away|Ref=NUM_25:4!15|MId=o040250040152|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:040250040161;|Type=jussive 23 חֲר֥וֹן חָרוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=the.burning|Ref=NUM_25:4!16|MId=o040250040161|Strong=2740 24 אַף־ אַף NOUN _ _ 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.anger|Ref=NUM_25:4!17|MId=o040250040171|Strong=0639|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 25 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=NUM_25:4!18|MId=o040250040181|Strong=3068 26-27 מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_25:4!19|MId=o040250040191|Strong=4480 27 יִּשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 22 obl _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=NUM_25:4!19|MId=o040250040192|Strong=3478 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_25:4!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | קַח *take* | imperative · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | רָאשֵׁי *the chiefs* | | | | הוֹקַע *impale* | imperative · hiphil | ָם *them* | | | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | יָשֹׁב *that it may turn away* | jussive · qal | חֲרוֹן *the burning* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
