# Numbers 5:15 בְּמִדְבַּר

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** man, spirit, offering, meal offering, wife · **What happens:** bring, pour, put, be, offer · **To what, where:** wife, offering, oil, frankincense, meal offering, iniquity

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 5:15 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 — man, spirit, offering, meal offering, wife — and what happens in the verse to wife, offering, oil, frankincense, meal offering, iniquity, 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.

[then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.204/)

## 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.
