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 — camp, Aaron, sons — and what happens in the verse to veil, ark, 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. וּבָ֨א אַהֲרֹ֤ן וּבָנָיו֙ בִּנְסֹ֣עַ הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְהוֹרִ֕דוּ אֵ֖ת פָּרֹ֣כֶת הַמָּסָ֑ךְ וְכִ֨סּוּ־בָ֔הּ אֵ֖ת אֲרֹ֥ן הָעֵדֻֽת׃ [when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.144/) ## 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:143 # text = וּבָ֨א אַהֲרֹ֤ן וּבָנָיו֙ בִּנְסֹ֣עַ הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְהוֹרִ֕דוּ אֵ֖ת פָּרֹ֣כֶת הַמָּסָ֑ךְ וְכִ֨סּוּ־בָ֔הּ אֵ֖ת אֲרֹ֥ן הָעֵדֻֽת׃ # verse = NUM.4.5 1-2 וּבָ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:5!1|MId=o040040050011|Strong=2050b 2 בָ֨א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.go|Ref=NUM_4:5!1|MId=o040040050012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040040050021;040040050032;|Type=weqatal 3 אַהֲרֹ֤ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=NUM_4:5!2|MId=o040040050021|Strong=0175 4-6 וּבָנָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:5!3|MId=o040040050031|Strong=2050b 5 בָנָי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=NUM_4:5!3|MId=o040040050032|Strong=1121 6 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_4:5!3|MId=o040040050033|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 בִּנְסֹ֣עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=NUM_4:5!4|MId=o040040050041|Strong=0871a 8 נְסֹ֣עַ נָסַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=sets.out|Ref=NUM_4:5!4|MId=o040040050042|Strong=5265|Frame=A0:040040050052;|Type=infinitive_construct 9-10 הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_4:5!5|MId=o040040050051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מַּחֲנֶ֔ה מַחֲנֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=camp|Ref=NUM_4:5!5|MId=o040040050052|Strong=4264 11-12 וְהוֹרִ֕דוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:5!6|MId=o040040050061|Strong=2050b 12 הוֹרִ֕דוּ יָרַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.take.down|Ref=NUM_4:5!6|MId=o040040050062|Strong=3381|Frame=AA:040040050021;040040050032;A0:040040050081;|Type=weqatal 13 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_4:5!7|MId=o040040050071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 פָּרֹ֣כֶת פָּרֹכֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=the.curtain|Ref=NUM_4:5!8|MId=o040040050081|Strong=6532 15-16 הַמָּסָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_4:5!9|MId=o040040050091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מָּסָ֑ךְ מָסָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.screen|Ref=NUM_4:5!9|MId=o040040050092|Strong=4539 17-18 וְכִ֨סּוּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:5!10|MId=o040040050101|Strong=2050b 18 כִ֨סּוּ־ כָּסָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.cover|Ref=NUM_4:5!10|MId=o040040050102|Strong=3680|Frame=A0:040040050021;040040050032;A1:040040050131;|Type=weqatal 19-20 בָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NUM_4:5!11|MId=o040040050111|Strong=0871a 20 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_4:5!11|MId=o040040050112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 21 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_4:5!12|MId=o040040050121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 22 אֲרֹ֥ן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=NUM_4:5!13|MId=o040040050131|Strong=0727 23-24 הָעֵדֻֽת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=NUM_4:5!14|MId=o040040050141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 עֵדֻֽת עֵדוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.testimony|Ref=NUM_4:5!14|MId=o040040050142|Strong=5715 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=NUM_4:5!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָא *he will go* | weqatal · qal | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* + בָנָי *sons* | | | | | נְסֹעַ *sets out* | infinitive construct · qal | מַּחֲנֶה *camp* | | | | | הוֹרִדוּ *they will take down* | weqatal · hiphil | פָּרֹכֶת *the curtain* | | | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* + בָנָי *sons* | | כִסּוּ־ *they will cover* | weqatal · piel | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* + בָנָי *sons* | אֲרֹן *the ark* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
