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 — and what happens in the verse to Joshua, thee, spirit, hand, 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 קַח־לְךָ֙ אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ בִּן־נ֔וּן אִ֖ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ר֣וּחַ בּ֑וֹ וְסָמַכְתָּ֥ אֶת־יָדְךָ֖ עָלָֽיו׃ [And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1001/) ## 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:968 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֗ה קַח־לְךָ֙ אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ בִּן־נ֔וּן אִ֖ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ר֣וּחַ בּ֑וֹ וְסָמַכְתָּ֥ אֶת־יָדְךָ֖ עָלָֽיו׃ # verse = NUM.27.18 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_27:18!1|MId=o040270180011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=NUM_27:18!1|MId=o040270180012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040270180021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_27:18!2|MId=o040270180021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_27:18!3|MId=o040270180031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֗ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=NUM_27:18!4|MId=o040270180041|Strong=4872 6 קַח־ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=NUM_27:18!5|MId=o040270180051|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:040270180041;A1:040270180081;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ל לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(for|Ref=NUM_27:18!6|MId=o040270180061|Strong=3807a 8 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=NUM_27:18!6|MId=o040270180062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_27:18!7|MId=o040270180071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ יְהֹושֻׁעַ PROPN _ _ 6 obj _ Gloss=Joshua|Ref=NUM_27:18!8|MId=o040270180081|Strong=3091 11 בִּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_27:18!9|MId=o040270180091|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 12 נ֔וּן נוּן PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Nun|Ref=NUM_27:18!10|MId=o040270180101|Strong=5126 13 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=NUM_27:18!11|MId=o040270180111|Strong=0376 14 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=NUM_27:18!12|MId=o040270180121|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15 ר֣וּחַ רוּחַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=a.spirit|Ref=NUM_27:18!13|MId=o040270180131|Strong=7307 16-17 בּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=NUM_27:18!14|MId=o040270180141|Strong=0871a 17 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_27:18!14|MId=o040270180142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְסָמַכְתָּ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_27:18!15|MId=o040270180151|Strong=2050b 19 סָמַכְתָּ֥ סָמַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 conj _ Gloss=you.will.lay|Ref=NUM_27:18!15|MId=o040270180152|Strong=5564|Frame=A0:040270180041;A1:040270180171;|Type=weqatal 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_27:18!16|MId=o040270180161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 יָדְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=NUM_27:18!17|MId=o040270180171|Strong=3027 22 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_27:18!17|MId=o040270180172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 עָלָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עָלָֽי עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_27:18!18|MId=o040270180181|Strong=5921 24 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_27:18!18|MId=o040270180182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_27:18!18 ``` ## 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* | יְהוֹשֻׁעַ *Joshua* | | | | סָמַכְתָּ *you will lay* | weqatal · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | יָד *hand* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
