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 — father, company — and what happens in the verse to daughters, company, sons, 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. אָבִינוּ֮ מֵ֣ת בַּמִּדְבָּר֒ וְה֨וּא לֹא־הָיָ֜ה בְּת֣וֹךְ הָעֵדָ֗ה הַנּוֹעָדִ֛ים עַל־יְהוָ֖ה בַּעֲדַת־קֹ֑רַח כִּֽי־בְחֶטְא֣וֹ מֵ֔ת וּבָנִ֖ים לֹא־הָ֥יוּ לֽוֹ׃ ['Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.984/) ## 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:953 # text = אָבִינוּ֮ מֵ֣ת בַּמִּדְבָּר֒ וְה֨וּא לֹא־הָיָ֜ה בְּת֣וֹךְ הָעֵדָ֗ה הַנּוֹעָדִ֛ים עַל־יְהוָ֖ה בַּעֲדַת־קֹ֑רַח כִּֽי־בְחֶטְא֣וֹ מֵ֔ת וּבָנִ֖ים לֹא־הָ֥יוּ לֽוֹ׃ # verse = NUM.27.3 1-2 אָבִינוּ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 אָבִי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=father|Ref=NUM_27:3!1|MId=o040270030011|Strong=0001 2 נוּ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NUM_27:3!1|MId=o040270030012|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 3 מֵ֣ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.died|Ref=NUM_27:3!2|MId=o040270030021|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:040270030011;|Type=qatal 4-6 בַּמִּדְבָּר֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_27:3!3|MId=o040270030031|Strong=0871a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_27:3!3|MId=o040270030031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מִּדְבָּר֒ מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=NUM_27:3!3|MId=o040270030032|Strong=4057 7-8 וְה֨וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_27:3!4|MId=o040270030041|Strong=2050b 8 ה֨וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=NUM_27:3!4|MId=o040270030042|Strong=1931|Type=personal 9 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_27:3!5|MId=o040270030051|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 10 הָיָ֜ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 cop _ Gloss=he.was|Ref=NUM_27:3!6|MId=o040270030061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040270030042;|Type=qatal 11-12 בְּת֣וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=NUM_27:3!7|MId=o040270030071|Strong=0871a 12 ת֣וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_27:3!7|MId=o040270030072|Strong=8432 13-14 הָעֵדָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_27:3!8|MId=o040270030081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 עֵדָ֗ה עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=company|Ref=NUM_27:3!8|MId=o040270030082|Strong=5712 15-16 הַנּוֹעָדִ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=[which]|Ref=NUM_27:3!9|MId=o040270030091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 נּוֹעָדִ֛ים יָעַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=gathered|Ref=NUM_27:3!9|MId=o040270030092|Strong=3259|Frame=A0:040270030082;|Type=participle_active 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_27:3!10|MId=o040270030101|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 18 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_27:3!11|MId=o040270030111|Strong=3068 19-20 בַּעֲדַת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_27:3!12|MId=o040270030121|Strong=0871a 20 עֲדַת־ עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.company|Ref=NUM_27:3!12|MId=o040270030122|Strong=5712 21 קֹ֑רַח קֹרַח PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Korah|Ref=NUM_27:3!13|MId=o040270030131|Strong=7141 22 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_27:3!14|MId=o040270030141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 23-25 בְחֶטְא֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_27:3!15|MId=o040270030151|Strong=0871a 24 חֶטְא חֵטְא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=his.own|Ref=NUM_27:3!15|MId=o040270030152|Strong=2399 25 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=sin|Ref=NUM_27:3!15|MId=o040270030153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 מֵ֔ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 advcl _ Gloss=he.died|Ref=NUM_27:3!16|MId=o040270030161|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:040270030011;|Type=qatal 27-28 וּבָנִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_27:3!17|MId=o040270030171|Strong=2050b 28 בָנִ֖ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 32 nsubj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=NUM_27:3!17|MId=o040270030172|Strong=1121 29 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 32 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_27:3!18|MId=o040270030181|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 30 הָ֥יוּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 32 cop _ Gloss=they.belonged|Ref=NUM_27:3!19|MId=o040270030191|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040270030172;|Type=qatal 31-32 לֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 ל לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_27:3!20|MId=o040270030201|Strong=3807a 32 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 conj _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_27:3!20|MId=o040270030202|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=NUM_27:3!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
