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 — you, food — and what happens in the verse to children, food, offerings, sweet savour, 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. צַ֚ו אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אֶת־קָרְבָּנִ֨י לַחְמִ֜י לְאִשַּׁ֗י רֵ֚יחַ נִֽיחֹחִ֔י תִּשְׁמְר֕וּ לְהַקְרִ֥יב לִ֖י בְּמוֹעֲדֽוֹ׃ [Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: My food which is presented unto Me for offerings made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Me, shall ye observe to offer unto Me in its due season.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1008/) ## 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:975 # text = צַ֚ו אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אֶת־קָרְבָּנִ֨י לַחְמִ֜י לְאִשַּׁ֗י רֵ֚יחַ נִֽיחֹחִ֔י תִּשְׁמְר֕וּ לְהַקְרִ֥יב לִ֖י בְּמוֹעֲדֽוֹ׃ # verse = NUM.28.2 1 צַ֚ו צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=command|Ref=NUM_28:2!1|MId=o040280020011|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:040280010041;A1:040280020031;|Type=imperative 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_28:2!2|MId=o040280020021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 3 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 obj _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_28:2!3|MId=o040280020031|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_28:2!4|MId=o040280020041|Strong=3478 5-6 וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_28:2!5|MId=o040280020051|Strong=2050b 6 אָמַרְתָּ֖ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=NUM_28:2!5|MId=o040280020052|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040280010041;|Type=weqatal 7-8 אֲלֵהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_28:2!6|MId=o040280020061|Strong=0413 8 ֵהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_28:2!6|MId=o040280020062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_28:2!7|MId=o040280020071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 קָרְבָּנִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 קָרְבָּנ קׇרְבָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 dislocated _ Gloss=offering|Ref=NUM_28:2!8|MId=o040280020081|Strong=7133 11 ִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_28:2!8|MId=o040280020082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12-13 לַחְמִ֜י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לַחְמ לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=food|Ref=NUM_28:2!9|MId=o040280020091|Strong=3899 13 ִ֜י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_28:2!9|MId=o040280020092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-16 לְאִשַּׁ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_28:2!10|MId=o040280020101|Strong=3807a 15 אִשּׁ אִשֶּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nmod _ Gloss=my.fire|Ref=NUM_28:2!10|MId=o040280020102|Strong=0801 16 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=offerings|Ref=NUM_28:2!10|MId=o040280020103|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 17 רֵ֚יחַ רֵיחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=the.odor|Ref=NUM_28:2!11|MId=o040280020111|Strong=7381 18-19 נִֽיחֹחִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 נִֽיחֹח נִיחֹחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.soothing|Ref=NUM_28:2!12|MId=o040280020121|Strong=5207 19 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_28:2!12|MId=o040280020122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 20 תִּשְׁמְר֕וּ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 6 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.take.care|Ref=NUM_28:2!13|MId=o040280020131|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:040280020031;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 לְהַקְרִ֥יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_28:2!14|MId=o040280020141|Strong=3807a 22 הַקְרִ֥יב קָרַב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 20 xcomp _ Gloss=bring.near|Ref=NUM_28:2!14|MId=o040280020142|Strong=7126|Frame=AA:040280020031;A0:040280020081;|Type=infinitive_construct 23-24 לִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 ל לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_28:2!15|MId=o040280020151|Strong=3807a 24 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=NUM_28:2!15|MId=o040280020152|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 25-27 בְּמוֹעֲדֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=NUM_28:2!16|MId=o040280020161|Strong=0871a 26 מוֹעֲד מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=its.appointed|Ref=NUM_28:2!16|MId=o040280020162|Strong=4150 27 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=time|Ref=NUM_28:2!16|MId=o040280020163|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_28:2!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - indirect: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | צַו *command* | imperative · piel | | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | תִּשְׁמְרוּ *you will take care* | yiqtol · qal | בְּנֵי *the people* | | | | | הַקְרִיב *bring near* | infinitive construct · hiphil | קָרְבָּנ *offering* | | | בְּנֵי *the people* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
