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: what happens in the verse to covering, cloth, sealskin, staves, 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. וְנָתְנ֣וּ עָלָ֗יו כְּסוּי֙ ע֣וֹר תַּ֔חַשׁ וּפָרְשׂ֧וּ בֶֽגֶד־כְּלִ֛יל תְּכֵ֖לֶת מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְשָׂמ֖וּ בַּדָּֽיו׃ [and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.145/) ## 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:144 # text = וְנָתְנ֣וּ עָלָ֗יו כְּסוּי֙ ע֣וֹר תַּ֔חַשׁ וּפָרְשׂ֧וּ בֶֽגֶד־כְּלִ֛יל תְּכֵ֖לֶת מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְשָׂמ֖וּ בַּדָּֽיו׃ # verse = NUM.4.6 1-2 וְנָתְנ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:6!1|MId=o040040060011|Strong=2050b 2 נָתְנ֣וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.put|Ref=NUM_4:6!1|MId=o040040060012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040040050021;040040050032;A1:040040060031;|Type=weqatal 3-4 עָלָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עָלָ֗י עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=NUM_4:6!2|MId=o040040060021|Strong=5921 4 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=NUM_4:6!2|MId=o040040060022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 כְּסוּי֙ כָּסוּי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.covering|Ref=NUM_4:6!3|MId=o040040060031|Strong=3681 6 ע֣וֹר עוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.skin|Ref=NUM_4:6!4|MId=o040040060041|Strong=5785 7 תַּ֔חַשׁ תַּחַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.dolphin|Ref=NUM_4:6!5|MId=o040040060051|Strong=8476 8-9 וּפָרְשׂ֧וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:6!6|MId=o040040060061|Strong=2050b 9 פָרְשׂ֧וּ פָּרַשׂ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.spread.out|Ref=NUM_4:6!6|MId=o040040060062|Strong=6566|Frame=A0:040040050021;040040050032;A1:040040060071;|Type=weqatal 10 בֶֽגֶד־ בֶּגֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=a.covering|Ref=NUM_4:6!7|MId=o040040060071|Strong=0899|SpaceAfter=No 11 כְּלִ֛יל כָּלִיל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=of.an.entirety|Ref=NUM_4:6!8|MId=o040040060081|Strong=3632|Type=adjective 12 תְּכֵ֖לֶת תְּכֵלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.violet.stuff|Ref=NUM_4:6!9|MId=o040040060091|Strong=8504 13-16 מִלְמָ֑עְלָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_4:6!10|MId=o040040060101|Strong=4480 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_4:6!10|MId=o040040060102|Strong=3807a 15 מָ֑עְל מַעַל ADV _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=above|Ref=NUM_4:6!10|MId=o040040060103|Strong=4605 16 ָה ה X _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=NUM_4:6!10|MId=o040040060104|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 17-18 וְשָׂמ֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_4:6!11|MId=o040040060111|Strong=2050b 18 שָׂמ֖וּ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.put.in|Ref=NUM_4:6!11|MId=o040040060112|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:040040050021;040040050032;A1:040040060121;|Type=weqatal 19-20 בַּדָּֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּדָּֽי בַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=poles|Ref=NUM_4:6!12|MId=o040040060121|Strong=0905a 20 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=NUM_4:6!12|MId=o040040060122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=NUM_4:6!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | נָתְנוּ *they will put* | weqatal · qal | | כְּסוּי *a covering* | | | | פָרְשׂוּ *they will spread out* | weqatal · qal | | בֶֽגֶד־ *a covering* | | | | שָׂמוּ *they will put in* | weqatal · qal | | בַּדָּֽי *poles* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
