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 — six cities, one — and what happens in the verse to person, error, 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. לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְלַגֵּ֤ר וְלַתּוֹשָׁב֙ בְּתוֹכָ֔ם תִּהְיֶ֛ינָה שֵׁשׁ־הֶעָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לְמִקְלָ֑ט לָנ֣וּס שָׁ֔מָּה כָּל־מַכֵּה־נֶ֖פֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָֽה׃ [For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the settler among them, shall these six cities be for refuge, that every one that killeth any person through error may flee thither.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1291/) ## 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:1256 # text = לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְלַגֵּ֤ר וְלַתּוֹשָׁב֙ בְּתוֹכָ֔ם תִּהְיֶ֛ינָה שֵׁשׁ־הֶעָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לְמִקְלָ֑ט לָנ֣וּס שָׁ֔מָּה כָּל־מַכֵּה־נֶ֖פֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָֽה׃ # verse = NUM.35.15 1-2 לִבְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_35:15!1|MId=o040350150011|Strong=3807a 2 בְנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_35:15!1|MId=o040350150012|Strong=1121 3 יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_35:15!2|MId=o040350150021|Strong=3478 4-7 וְלַגֵּ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_35:15!3|MId=o040350150031|Strong=2050b 5 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_35:15!3|MId=o040350150032|Strong=3807a 6 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_35:15!3|MId=o040350150032ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 גֵּ֤ר גֵּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=sojourner|Ref=NUM_35:15!3|MId=o040350150033|Strong=1616 8-11 וְלַתּוֹשָׁב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_35:15!4|MId=o040350150041|Strong=2050b 9 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=NUM_35:15!4|MId=o040350150042|Strong=3807a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the.resident|Ref=NUM_35:15!4|MId=o040350150042ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 תּוֹשָׁב֙ תּוֹשָׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=alien|Ref=NUM_35:15!4|MId=o040350150043|Strong=8453 12-14 בְּתוֹכָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=NUM_35:15!5|MId=o040350150051|Strong=0871a 13 תוֹכ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_35:15!5|MId=o040350150052|Strong=8432 14 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=them|Ref=NUM_35:15!5|MId=o040350150053|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 תִּהְיֶ֛ינָה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 cop _ Gloss=they.will.become|Ref=NUM_35:15!6|MId=o040350150061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:040350150082;|Type=yiqtol 16 שֵׁשׁ־ שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 nummod _ Gloss=the.six|Ref=NUM_35:15!7|MId=o040350150071|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הֶעָרִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הֶ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_35:15!8|MId=o040350150081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 עָרִ֥ים עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=cities|Ref=NUM_35:15!8|MId=o040350150082|Strong=5892 19-20 הָאֵ֖לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_35:15!9|MId=o040350150091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֵ֖לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 18 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=NUM_35:15!9|MId=o040350150092|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 21-22 לְמִקְלָ֑ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=NUM_35:15!10|MId=o040350150101|Strong=3807a 22 מִקְלָ֑ט מִקְלָט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=refuge|Ref=NUM_35:15!10|MId=o040350150102|Strong=4733 23-24 לָנ֣וּס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_35:15!11|MId=o040350150111|Strong=3807a 24 נ֣וּס נוּס VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=flee|Ref=NUM_35:15!11|MId=o040350150112|Strong=5127|Frame=A0:040350150141;|Type=infinitive_construct 25-26 שָׁ֔מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 שָׁ֔מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_35:15!12|MId=o040350150121|Strong=8033 26 ָה ה X _ _ 25 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=NUM_35:15!12|MId=o040350150122|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 27 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=any|Ref=NUM_35:15!13|MId=o040350150131|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 28 מַכֵּה־ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[one.who].has.struck.down|Ref=NUM_35:15!14|MId=o040350150141|Strong=5221|Frame=A1:040350150151;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 29 נֶ֖פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 obj _ Gloss=(of).a.person|Ref=NUM_35:15!15|MId=o040350150151|Strong=5315 30-31 בִּשְׁגָגָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_35:15!16|MId=o040350150161|Strong=0871a 31 שְׁגָגָֽה שְׁגָגָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=inadvertence|Ref=NUM_35:15!16|MId=o040350150162|Strong=7684 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=NUM_35:15!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּהְיֶינָה *they will become* | yiqtol · qal | עָרִים *cities* | | | | | נוּס *flee* | infinitive construct · qal | מַכֵּה־ *\[one who\] has struck down* | | | | | מַכֵּה־ *\[one who\] has struck down* | participle active · hiphil | | נֶפֶשׁ *(of) a person* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
