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 — land, we, thy — and what happens in the verse to favour, sight, land, us, Jordan, 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. וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ אִם־מָצָ֤אנוּ חֵן֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ יֻתַּ֞ן אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ הַזֹּ֛את לַעֲבָדֶ֖יךָ לַאֲחֻזָּ֑ה אַל־תַּעֲבִרֵ֖נוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ [And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1153/) ## 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:1119 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ אִם־מָצָ֤אנוּ חֵן֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ יֻתַּ֞ן אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ הַזֹּ֛את לַעֲבָדֶ֖יךָ לַאֲחֻזָּ֑ה אַל־תַּעֲבִרֵ֖נוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃ # verse = NUM.32.5 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_32:5!1|MId=o040320050011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֗וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NUM_32:5!1|MId=o040320050012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040320020021;040320020042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=NUM_32:5!2|MId=o040320050021|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 4 מָצָ֤אנוּ מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 9 advcl _ Gloss=we.have.found|Ref=NUM_32:5!3|MId=o040320050031|Strong=4672|Frame=A0:040320020021;040320020042;A1:040320050041;|Type=qatal 5 חֵן֙ חֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=favor|Ref=NUM_32:5!4|MId=o040320050041|Strong=2580 6-8 בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_32:5!5|MId=o040320050051|Strong=0871a 7 עֵינֶ֔י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 4 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=NUM_32:5!5|MId=o040320050052|Strong=5869 8 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_32:5!5|MId=o040320050053|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 יֻתַּ֞ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=let.it.be.given|Ref=NUM_32:5!6|MId=o040320050061|Strong=5414|Frame=A1:040320050082;|Type=yiqtol 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_32:5!7|MId=o040320050071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הָאָ֧רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_32:5!8|MId=o040320050081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אָ֧רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=land|Ref=NUM_32:5!8|MId=o040320050082|Strong=0776 13-14 הַזֹּ֛את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_32:5!9|MId=o040320050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 זֹּ֛את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 12 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=NUM_32:5!9|MId=o040320050092|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 15-17 לַעֲבָדֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_32:5!10|MId=o040320050101|Strong=3807a 16 עֲבָדֶ֖י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=servants|Ref=NUM_32:5!10|MId=o040320050102|Strong=5650 17 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_32:5!10|MId=o040320050103|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-19 לַאֲחֻזָּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_32:5!11|MId=o040320050111|Strong=3807a 19 אֲחֻזָּ֑ה אֲחֻזָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=a.possession|Ref=NUM_32:5!11|MId=o040320050112|Strong=0272 20 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=NUM_32:5!12|MId=o040320050121|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 תַּעֲבִרֵ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 תַּעֲבִר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 9 parataxis _ Gloss=make|Ref=NUM_32:5!13|MId=o040320050131|Strong=5674|Frame=AA:040320020081;A0:040320050132;|Type=jussive 22 ֵ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 obj _ Gloss=us.pass.over|Ref=NUM_32:5!13|MId=o040320050132|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_32:5!14|MId=o040320050141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 הַיַּרְדֵּֽן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_32:5!15|MId=o040320050151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 יַּרְדֵּֽן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Jordan|Ref=NUM_32:5!15|MId=o040320050152|Strong=3383 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_32:5!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמְרוּ *they said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | מָצָאנוּ *we have found* | qatal · qal | | חֵן *favor* | | | | יֻתַּן *let it be given* | yiqtol · hophal | | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | **not** תַּעֲבִר *make* | jussive · hiphil | ֵנוּ *us pass over* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
