# Numbers 33:54 בְּמִדְבַּר

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye, thou, lot, that · **What happens:** inherit, accord, give, fall, be · **To what, where:** land, more inheritance, more, less inheritance, fewer, lot

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 33:54 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — ye, thou, lot, that — and what happens in the verse to land, more inheritance, more, less inheritance, fewer, lot, 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.

[And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families — to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance; wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1244/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
