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 — we, little ones — and what happens in the verse to fathers, fortified cities, 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. וַאֲנַ֜חְנוּ נֵחָלֵ֣ץ חֻשִׁ֗ים לִפְנֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִם־הֲבִֽיאֹנֻ֖ם אֶל־מְקוֹמָ֑ם וְיָשַׁ֤ב טַפֵּ֙נוּ֙ בְּעָרֵ֣י הַמִּבְצָ֔ר מִפְּנֵ֖י יֹשְׁבֵ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1165/) ## 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:1131 # text = וַאֲנַ֜חְנוּ נֵחָלֵ֣ץ חֻשִׁ֗ים לִפְנֵי֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִם־הֲבִֽיאֹנֻ֖ם אֶל־מְקוֹמָ֑ם וְיָשַׁ֤ב טַפֵּ֙נוּ֙ בְּעָרֵ֣י הַמִּבְצָ֔ר מִפְּנֵ֖י יֹשְׁבֵ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = NUM.32.17 1-2 וַאֲנַ֜חְנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:17!1|MId=o040320170011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲנַ֜חְנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=we|Ref=NUM_32:17!1|MId=o040320170012|Strong=0587|Type=personal 3 נֵחָלֵ֣ץ חָלַץ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=we.will.equip.ourselves|Ref=NUM_32:17!2|MId=o040320170021|Strong=2502a|Frame=A0:040320170012;|Type=yiqtol 4 חֻשִׁ֗ים חוּשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 parataxis _ Gloss=hurried|Ref=NUM_32:17!3|MId=o040320170031|Strong=2363|Frame=A0:040320060032;040320060053;|Type=participle_passive 5-6 לִפְנֵי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=NUM_32:17!4|MId=o040320170041|Strong=3807a 6 פְנֵי֙ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_32:17!4|MId=o040320170042|Strong=6440 7 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_32:17!5|MId=o040320170051|Strong=1121 8 יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_32:17!6|MId=o040320170061|Strong=3478 9 עַ֛ד עַד ADP _ _ 3 parataxis _ Gloss=until|Ref=NUM_32:17!7|MId=o040320170071|Strong=5704 10 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=NUM_32:17!8|MId=o040320170081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=NUM_32:17!9|MId=o040320170091|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הֲבִֽיאֹנֻ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הֲבִֽיאֹנֻ֖ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=1 9 parataxis _ Gloss=we|Ref=NUM_32:17!10|MId=o040320170101|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:040320060032;040320060053;A0:040320170102;|Type=qatal 13 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=have.brought.them|Ref=NUM_32:17!10|MId=o040320170102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_32:17!11|MId=o040320170111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 מְקוֹמָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 מְקוֹמ מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=NUM_32:17!12|MId=o040320170121|Strong=4725 16 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=NUM_32:17!12|MId=o040320170122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְיָשַׁ֤ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:17!13|MId=o040320170131|Strong=2050b 18 יָשַׁ֤ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=it.will.remain|Ref=NUM_32:17!13|MId=o040320170132|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:040320170141;|Type=weqatal 19-20 טַפֵּ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 טַפּ טַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 nsubj _ Gloss=one[s]|Ref=NUM_32:17!14|MId=o040320170141|Strong=2945 20 ֵ֙נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our.little|Ref=NUM_32:17!14|MId=o040320170142|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 21-22 בְּעָרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_32:17!15|MId=o040320170151|Strong=0871a 22 עָרֵ֣י עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=the.cities|Ref=NUM_32:17!15|MId=o040320170152|Strong=5892 23-24 הַמִּבְצָ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=NUM_32:17!16|MId=o040320170161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 מִּבְצָ֔ר מִבְצָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=fortification|Ref=NUM_32:17!16|MId=o040320170162|Strong=4013 25-26 מִפְּנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=because|Ref=NUM_32:17!17|MId=o040320170171|Strong=4480 26 פְּנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_32:17!17|MId=o040320170172|Strong=6440 27 יֹשְׁבֵ֥י יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.inhabitants|Ref=NUM_32:17!18|MId=o040320170181|Strong=3427|Type=participle_active 28-29 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_32:17!19|MId=o040320170191|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=NUM_32:17!19|MId=o040320170192|Strong=0776 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=NUM_32:17!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
