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 — heads, LORD — and what happens in the verse to lord, land, children, inheritance, Zelophehad, 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 אֶת־אֲדֹנִי֙ צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֨ת אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ בְּנַחֲלָ֛ה בְּגוֹרָ֖ל לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽאדֹנִי֙ צֻוָּ֣ה בַֽיהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֗ת אֶֽת־נַחֲלַ֛ת צְלָפְחָ֥ד אָחִ֖ינוּ לִבְנֹתָֽיו׃ [and they said: 'The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.1312/) ## 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:1277 # text = וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ אֶת־אֲדֹנִי֙ צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֨ת אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ בְּנַחֲלָ֛ה בְּגוֹרָ֖ל לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽאדֹנִי֙ צֻוָּ֣ה בַֽיהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֗ת אֶֽת־נַחֲלַ֛ת צְלָפְחָ֥ד אָחִ֖ינוּ לִבְנֹתָֽיו׃ # verse = NUM.36.2 1-2 וַיֹּאמְר֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_36:2!1|MId=o040360020011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְר֗וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=NUM_36:2!1|MId=o040360020012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:040360010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_36:2!2|MId=o040360020021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 אֲדֹנִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=lord|Ref=NUM_36:2!3|MId=o040360020031|Strong=0113 5 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_36:2!3|MId=o040360020032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 צִוָּ֣ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.commanded|Ref=NUM_36:2!4|MId=o040360020041|Strong=6680|Frame=A1:040360020031;A0:040360020051;|Type=qatal 7 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_36:2!5|MId=o040360020051|Strong=3068 8-9 לָתֵ֨ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_36:2!6|MId=o040360020061|Strong=3807a 9 תֵ֨ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 xcomp _ Gloss=give|Ref=NUM_36:2!6|MId=o040360020062|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040360020031;A1:040360020082;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_36:2!7|MId=o040360020071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הָאָ֧רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_36:2!8|MId=o040360020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אָ֧רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=land|Ref=NUM_36:2!8|MId=o040360020082|Strong=0776 13-14 בְּנַחֲלָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(in).an|Ref=NUM_36:2!9|MId=o040360020091|Strong=0871a 14 נַחֲלָ֛ה נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=inheritance|Ref=NUM_36:2!9|MId=o040360020092|Strong=5159 15-16 בְּגוֹרָ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_36:2!10|MId=o040360020101|Strong=0871a 16 גוֹרָ֖ל גּוֹרָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=lot|Ref=NUM_36:2!10|MId=o040360020102|Strong=1486 17-18 לִבְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_36:2!11|MId=o040360020111|Strong=3807a 18 בְנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_36:2!11|MId=o040360020112|Strong=1121 19 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_36:2!12|MId=o040360020121|Strong=3478 20-22 וַֽאדֹנִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_36:2!13|MId=o040360020131|Strong=2050b 21 אדֹנ אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 nsubj _ Gloss=lord|Ref=NUM_36:2!13|MId=o040360020132|Strong=0113 22 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=NUM_36:2!13|MId=o040360020133|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 23 צֻוָּ֣ה צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PUAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=he.was.commanded|Ref=NUM_36:2!14|MId=o040360020141|Strong=6680|Frame=A1:040360020132;|Type=qatal 24-25 בַֽיהוָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בַֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_36:2!15|MId=o040360020151|Strong=0871a 25 יהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 23 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_36:2!15|MId=o040360020152|Strong=3068 26-27 לָתֵ֗ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_36:2!16|MId=o040360020161|Strong=3807a 27 תֵ֗ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 23 xcomp _ Gloss=give|Ref=NUM_36:2!16|MId=o040360020162|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040360020132;A1:040360020181;|Type=infinitive_construct 28 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_36:2!17|MId=o040360020171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29 נַחֲלַ֛ת נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=the.inheritance|Ref=NUM_36:2!18|MId=o040360020181|Strong=5159 30 צְלָפְחָ֥ד צְלׇפְחָד PROPN _ _ 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Zelophehad|Ref=NUM_36:2!19|MId=o040360020191|Strong=6765 31-32 אָחִ֖ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 אָחִ֖י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 appos _ Gloss=brother|Ref=NUM_36:2!20|MId=o040360020201|Strong=0251 32 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 31 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=NUM_36:2!20|MId=o040360020202|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 33-35 לִבְנֹתָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_36:2!21|MId=o040360020211|Strong=3807a 34 בְנֹתָֽי בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 27 obl _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=NUM_36:2!21|MId=o040360020212|Strong=1323 35 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 34 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_36:2!21|MId=o040360020213|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 36 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 35 punct _ Ref=NUM_36:2!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
