# Numbers 33:8 בְּמִדְבַּר

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** children, three days · **What happens:** journey, pass, go, pitch · **To what, where:** Penehahiroth, midst, journey, wilderness, Marah

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 33:8 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 — children, three days — and what happens in the verse to Penehahiroth, midst, journey, wilderness, Marah, 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.

## 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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: statement
- act: narrate
- voice: narrator
- speech: narration
- negation: no

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## Targum Onkelos {#onkelos}

וּנְטָלוּ מִן פּוּם חִירָתָא וַעֲבָרוּ בְּגוֹ יַמָא לְמַדְבְּרָא וַאֲזָלוּ מַהֲלַךְ תְּלָתָא יוֹמִין בְּמַדְבְּרָא דְאֵתָם וּשְׁרוֹ בְּמָרָה
