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, children — and what happens in the verse to tribe, children, 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. הַקְרֵב֙ אֶת־מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֔י וְֽהַעֲמַדְתָּ֣ אֹת֔וֹ לִפְנֵ֖י אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וְשֵׁרְת֖וּ אֹתֽוֹ׃ ['Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.93/) ## 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:93 # text = הַקְרֵב֙ אֶת־מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֔י וְֽהַעֲמַדְתָּ֣ אֹת֔וֹ לִפְנֵ֖י אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וְשֵׁרְת֖וּ אֹתֽוֹ׃ # verse = NUM.3.6 1 הַקְרֵב֙ קָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=bring.near|Ref=NUM_3:6!1|MId=o040030060011|Strong=7126|Frame=AA:040030050041;A0:040030060031;|Type=imperative 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_3:6!2|MId=o040030060021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 3 מַטֵּ֣ה מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=the.tribe|Ref=NUM_3:6!3|MId=o040030060031|Strong=4294 4 לֵוִ֔י לֵוִי PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Levi|Ref=NUM_3:6!4|MId=o040030060041|Strong=3878 5-6 וְֽהַעֲמַדְתָּ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_3:6!5|MId=o040030060051|Strong=2050b 6 הַעֲמַדְתָּ֣ עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=you.will.make.stand|Ref=NUM_3:6!5|MId=o040030060052|Strong=5975|Frame=AA:040030050041;A0:040030060062;|Type=weqatal 7-8 אֹת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_3:6!6|MId=o040030060061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 8 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_3:6!6|MId=o040030060062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 לִפְנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_3:6!7|MId=o040030060071|Strong=3807a 10 פְנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_3:6!7|MId=o040030060072|Strong=6440 11 אַהֲרֹ֣ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=NUM_3:6!8|MId=o040030060081|Strong=0175 12-13 הַכֹּהֵ֑ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_3:6!9|MId=o040030060091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 כֹּהֵ֑ן כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=priest|Ref=NUM_3:6!9|MId=o040030060092|Strong=3548 14-15 וְשֵׁרְת֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_3:6!10|MId=o040030060101|Strong=2050b 15 שֵׁרְת֖וּ שָׁרַת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=they.will.serve|Ref=NUM_3:6!10|MId=o040030060102|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:040030060031;A1:040030060112;|Type=weqatal 16-17 אֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_3:6!11|MId=o040030060111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 17 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_3:6!11|MId=o040030060112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=NUM_3:6!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הַקְרֵב *bring near* | imperative · hiphil | מַטֵּה *the tribe* | | | | | הַעֲמַדְתָּ *you will make stand* | weqatal · hiphil | וֹ *it* | | | | | שֵׁרְתוּ *they will serve* | weqatal · piel | מַטֵּה *the tribe* | ֽוֹ *him* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
