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 — children, place — and what happens in the verse to great multitude, land, place, 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. וּמִקְנֶ֣ה ׀ רַ֗ב הָיָ֞ה לִבְנֵ֧י רְאוּבֵ֛ן וְלִבְנֵי־גָ֖ד עָצ֣וּם מְאֹ֑ד וַיִּרְא֞וּ אֶת־אֶ֤רֶץ יַעְזֵר֙ וְאֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ גִּלְעָ֔ד וְהִנֵּ֥ה הַמָּק֖וֹם מְק֥וֹם מִקְנֶֽה׃ [Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1149/) ## 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:1115 # text = וּמִקְנֶ֣ה ׀ רַ֗ב הָיָ֞ה לִבְנֵ֧י רְאוּבֵ֛ן וְלִבְנֵי־גָ֖ד עָצ֣וּם מְאֹ֑ד וַיִּרְא֞וּ אֶת־אֶ֤רֶץ יַעְזֵר֙ וְאֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ גִּלְעָ֔ד וְהִנֵּ֥ה הַמָּק֖וֹם מְק֥וֹם מִקְנֶֽה׃ # verse = NUM.32.1 1-2 וּמִקְנֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:1!1|MId=o040320010011|Strong=2050b 2 מִקְנֶ֣ה מִקְנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=livestock|Ref=NUM_32:1!1|MId=o040320010012|Strong=4735 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=NUM_32:1!1 4 רַ֗ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 amod _ Gloss=much|Ref=NUM_32:1!2|MId=o040320010021|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 5 הָיָ֞ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.belonged|Ref=NUM_32:1!3|MId=o040320010031|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040320010012;|Type=qatal 6-7 לִבְנֵ֧י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_32:1!4|MId=o040320010041|Strong=3807a 7 בְנֵ֧י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=the.descendants|Ref=NUM_32:1!4|MId=o040320010042|Strong=1121 8 רְאוּבֵ֛ן רְאוּבֵן PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Reuben|Ref=NUM_32:1!5|MId=o040320010051|Strong=7205 9-11 וְלִבְנֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:1!6|MId=o040320010061|Strong=2050b 10 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_32:1!6|MId=o040320010062|Strong=3807a 11 בְנֵי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 conj _ Gloss=the.descendants|Ref=NUM_32:1!6|MId=o040320010063|Strong=1121 12 גָ֖ד גָּד PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gad|Ref=NUM_32:1!7|MId=o040320010071|Strong=1410 13 עָצ֣וּם עָצוּם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 advmod _ Gloss=numerous|Ref=NUM_32:1!8|MId=o040320010081|Strong=6099|Type=adjective 14 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=NUM_32:1!9|MId=o040320010091|Strong=3966 15-16 וַיִּרְא֞וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:1!10|MId=o040320010101|Strong=2050b 16 יִּרְא֞וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=they.saw|Ref=NUM_32:1!10|MId=o040320010102|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:040320010042;040320010063;A1:040320010121;040320010151;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_32:1!11|MId=o040320010111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18 אֶ֤רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=NUM_32:1!12|MId=o040320010121|Strong=0776 19 יַעְזֵר֙ יַעְזֵר PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jazer|Ref=NUM_32:1!13|MId=o040320010131|Strong=3270 20-21 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:1!14|MId=o040320010141|Strong=2050b 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_32:1!14|MId=o040320010142|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 22 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=NUM_32:1!15|MId=o040320010151|Strong=0776 23 גִּלְעָ֔ד גִּלְעָד PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Gilead|Ref=NUM_32:1!16|MId=o040320010161|Strong=1568 24-25 וְהִנֵּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:1!17|MId=o040320010171|Strong=2050b 25 הִנֵּ֥ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 28 discourse _ Gloss=there!|Ref=NUM_32:1!17|MId=o040320010172|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 26-27 הַמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_32:1!18|MId=o040320010181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 nsubj _ Gloss=place|Ref=NUM_32:1!18|MId=o040320010182|Strong=4725 28 מְק֥וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=[was].a.place|Ref=NUM_32:1!19|MId=o040320010191|Strong=4725 29 מִקְנֶֽה מִקְנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.livestock|Ref=NUM_32:1!20|MId=o040320010201|Strong=4735|SpaceAfter=No 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=NUM_32:1!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it belonged* | qatal · qal | מִקְנֶה *livestock* | | | | | יִּרְאוּ *they saw* | wayyiqtol · qal | בְנֵי *the descendants* + בְנֵי־ *the descendants* | אֶרֶץ *the land* + אֶרֶץ *the land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
