Numbers 5:20 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM.5.20/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Numbers](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM/) / [chapter 5](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/NUM/5/) / 5:20 # Numbers 5:20 בְּמִדְבַּר **Who acts:** thou, man · **What happens:** go, be, defile, lie · **To what, where:** thou This is Numbers 5:20 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 — thou, man — and what happens in the verse to thou, 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. וְאַ֗תְּ כִּ֥י שָׂטִ֛ית תַּ֥חַת אִישֵׁ֖ךְ וְכִ֣י נִטְמֵ֑את וַיִּתֵּ֨ן אִ֥ישׁ בָּךְ֙ אֶת־שְׁכָבְתּ֔וֹ מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵ֖י אִישֵֽׁךְ׃ [but if thou hast gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.209/) ## 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:207 # text = וְאַ֗תְּ כִּ֥י שָׂטִ֛ית תַּ֥חַת אִישֵׁ֖ךְ וְכִ֣י נִטְמֵ֑את וַיִּתֵּ֨ן אִ֥ישׁ בָּךְ֙ אֶת־שְׁכָבְתּ֔וֹ מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵ֖י אִישֵֽׁךְ׃ # verse = NUM.5.20 1-2 וְאַ֗תְּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:20!1|MId=o040050200011|Strong=2050b 2 אַ֗תְּ אַתְּ PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 dislocated _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_5:20!1|MId=o040050200012|Strong=0859b|Type=personal 3 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_5:20!2|MId=o040050200021|Strong=3588 4 שָׂטִ֛ית שָׂטָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.have.turned.aside|Ref=NUM_5:20!3|MId=o040050200031|Strong=7847|Frame=A0:040050190062;|Type=qatal 5 תַּ֥חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=under|Ref=NUM_5:20!4|MId=o040050200041|Strong=8478 6-7 אִישֵׁ֖ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אִישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=husband|Ref=NUM_5:20!5|MId=o040050200051|Strong=0376 7 ֵ֖ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_5:20!5|MId=o040050200052|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְכִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:20!6|MId=o040050200061|Strong=2050b 9 כִ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_5:20!6|MId=o040050200062|Strong=3588 10 נִטְמֵ֑את טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 conj _ Gloss=you.have.made.yourself.unclean|Ref=NUM_5:20!7|MId=o040050200071|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:040050190062;|Type=qatal 11-12 וַיִּתֵּ֨ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:20!8|MId=o040050200081|Strong=2050b 12 יִּתֵּ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=NUM_5:20!8|MId=o040050200082|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:040050200091;A1:040050200121;|Type=wayyiqtol 13 אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=NUM_5:20!9|MId=o040050200091|Strong=0376 14-15 בָּךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_5:20!10|MId=o040050200101|Strong=0871a 15 ָךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=NUM_5:20!10|MId=o040050200102|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_5:20!11|MId=o040050200111|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 שְׁכָבְתּ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 שְׁכָבְתּ שְׁכֹבֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=copulation|Ref=NUM_5:20!12|MId=o040050200121|Strong=7903 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_5:20!12|MId=o040050200122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִֽ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(from)|Ref=NUM_5:20!13|MId=o040050200131|Strong=4480 20 בַּלְעֲדֵ֖י בִּלְעֲדֵי ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=except|Ref=NUM_5:20!13|MId=o040050200132|Strong=1107 21-22 אִישֵֽׁךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אִישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=husband|Ref=NUM_5:20!14|MId=o040050200141|Strong=0376 22 ֵֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=NUM_5:20!14|MId=o040050200142|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=NUM_5:20!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׂטִית *you have turned aside* | qatal · qal | | | | | | נִטְמֵאת *you have made yourself unclean* | qatal · niphal | | | | | | יִּתֵּן *he has given* | wayyiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a man* | שְׁכָבְתּ *copulation* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
