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 — man, LORD — and what happens in the verse to vow, oath, soul, word, mouth, 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. אִישׁ֩ כִּֽי־יִדֹּ֨ר נֶ֜דֶר לַֽיהוָ֗ה אֽוֹ־הִשָּׁ֤בַע שְׁבֻעָה֙ לֶאְסֹ֤ר אִסָּר֙ עַל־נַפְשׁ֔וֹ לֹ֥א יַחֵ֖ל דְּבָר֑וֹ כְּכָל־הַיֹּצֵ֥א מִפִּ֖יו יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ [When a man voweth a vow unto the LORD, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1080/) ## 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:1046 # text = אִישׁ֩ כִּֽי־יִדֹּ֨ר נֶ֜דֶר לַֽיהוָ֗ה אֽוֹ־הִשָּׁ֤בַע שְׁבֻעָה֙ לֶאְסֹ֤ר אִסָּר֙ עַל־נַפְשׁ֔וֹ לֹ֥א יַחֵ֖ל דְּבָר֑וֹ כְּכָל־הַיֹּצֵ֥א מִפִּ֖יו יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ # verse = NUM.30.3 1 אִישׁ֩ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 dislocated _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=NUM_30:3!1|MId=o040300030011|Strong=0376 2 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_30:3!2|MId=o040300030021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 3 יִדֹּ֨ר נָדַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 advcl _ Gloss=he.will.vow|Ref=NUM_30:3!3|MId=o040300030031|Strong=5087|Frame=A0:040300030011;A1:040300030041;|Type=yiqtol 4 נֶ֜דֶר נֶדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=a.vow|Ref=NUM_30:3!4|MId=o040300030041|Strong=5088 5-6 לַֽיהוָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_30:3!5|MId=o040300030051|Strong=3807a 6 יהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_30:3!5|MId=o040300030052|Strong=3068 7 אֽוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=NUM_30:3!6|MId=o040300030061|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 8 הִשָּׁ֤בַע שָׁבַע VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 3 conj _ Gloss=he.will.swear|Ref=NUM_30:3!7|MId=o040300030071|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:040300030011;A1:040300030081;|Type=infinitive_absolute 9 שְׁבֻעָה֙ שְׁבוּעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=an.oath|Ref=NUM_30:3!8|MId=o040300030081|Strong=7621 10-11 לֶאְסֹ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֶ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_30:3!9|MId=o040300030091|Strong=3807a 11 אְסֹ֤ר אָסַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 xcomp _ Gloss=bind|Ref=NUM_30:3!9|MId=o040300030092|Strong=0631|Frame=A0:040300030011;A1:040300030101;|Type=infinitive_construct 12 אִסָּר֙ אִסָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=an.obligation|Ref=NUM_30:3!10|MId=o040300030101|Strong=0632 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_30:3!11|MId=o040300030111|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 נַפְשׁ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=self|Ref=NUM_30:3!12|MId=o040300030121|Strong=5315 15 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_30:3!12|MId=o040300030122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_30:3!13|MId=o040300030131|Strong=3808|Type=negative 17 יַחֵ֖ל חָלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.violate|Ref=NUM_30:3!14|MId=o040300030141|Strong=2490|Frame=AA:040300030011;A0:040300030151;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 דְּבָר֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 דְּבָר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=word|Ref=NUM_30:3!15|MId=o040300030151|Strong=1697 19 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_30:3!15|MId=o040300030152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-21 כְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=NUM_30:3!16|MId=o040300030161|Strong=3509a 21 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=to.every|Ref=NUM_30:3!16|MId=o040300030162|Strong=3605 22-23 הַיֹּצֵ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(the).[thing|Ref=NUM_30:3!17|MId=o040300030171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 יֹּצֵ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=which.has].gone.out|Ref=NUM_30:3!17|MId=o040300030172|Strong=3318|Type=participle_active 24-26 מִפִּ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_30:3!18|MId=o040300030181|Strong=4480 25 פִּ֖י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=NUM_30:3!18|MId=o040300030182|Strong=6310 26 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_30:3!18|MId=o040300030183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 יַעֲשֶֽׂה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.do|Ref=NUM_30:3!19|MId=o040300030191|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040300030011;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=NUM_30:3!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִדֹּר *he will vow* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | נֶדֶר *a vow* | | | | הִשָּׁבַע *he will swear* | infinitive absolute · niphal | אִישׁ *a man* | שְׁבֻעָה *an oath* | | | | אְסֹר *bind* | infinitive construct · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | אִסָּר *an obligation* | | | | **not** יַחֵל *he will violate* | yiqtol · hiphil | דְּבָר *word* | | | אִישׁ *a man* | | יַעֲשֶֽׂה *he will do* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
