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 — belly, woman, water — and what happens in the verse to woman, water, curse, 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. וְהִשְׁקָה֙ אֶת־הָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה אֶת־מֵ֥י הַמָּרִ֖ים הַמְאָֽרֲרִ֑ים וּבָ֥אוּ בָ֛הּ הַמַּ֥יִם הַֽמְאָרֲרִ֖ים לְמָרִֽים׃ [And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.213/) ## 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:211 # text = וְהִשְׁקָה֙ אֶת־הָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה אֶת־מֵ֥י הַמָּרִ֖ים הַמְאָֽרֲרִ֑ים וּבָ֥אוּ בָ֛הּ הַמַּ֥יִם הַֽמְאָרֲרִ֖ים לְמָרִֽים׃ # verse = NUM.5.24 1-2 וְהִשְׁקָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:24!1|MId=o040050240011|Strong=2050b 2 הִשְׁקָה֙ שָׁקָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.make.drink|Ref=NUM_5:24!1|MId=o040050240012|Strong=8248|Frame=AA:040050230052;A0:040050240032;A1:040050240051;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_5:24!2|MId=o040050240021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_5:24!3|MId=o040050240031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=NUM_5:24!3|MId=o040050240032|Strong=0802 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_5:24!4|MId=o040050240041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 מֵ֥י מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 xcomp _ Gloss=the.waters|Ref=NUM_5:24!5|MId=o040050240051|Strong=4325 8-9 הַמָּרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=NUM_5:24!6|MId=o040050240061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 מָּרִ֖ים מַר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=bitter.[things]|Ref=NUM_5:24!6|MId=o040050240062|Strong=4751|Type=adjective 10-11 הַמְאָֽרֲרִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=[which].bring|Ref=NUM_5:24!7|MId=o040050240071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מְאָֽרֲרִ֑ים אָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 7 appos _ Gloss=a.curse|Ref=NUM_5:24!7|MId=o040050240072|Strong=0779|Frame=A0:040050240051;|Type=participle_active 12-13 וּבָ֥אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:24!8|MId=o040050240081|Strong=2050b 13 בָ֥אוּ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.go|Ref=NUM_5:24!8|MId=o040050240082|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:040050240102;|Type=weqatal 14-15 בָ֛הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=NUM_5:24!9|MId=o040050240091|Strong=0871a 15 ָ֛הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=her|Ref=NUM_5:24!9|MId=o040050240092|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16-17 הַמַּ֥יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_5:24!10|MId=o040050240101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 מַּ֥יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=waters|Ref=NUM_5:24!10|MId=o040050240102|Strong=4325 18-19 הַֽמְאָרֲרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=[which].bring|Ref=NUM_5:24!11|MId=o040050240111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 מְאָרֲרִ֖ים אָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=a.curse|Ref=NUM_5:24!11|MId=o040050240112|Strong=0779|Frame=A0:040050240102;|Type=participle_active 20-21 לְמָרִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_5:24!12|MId=o040050240121|Strong=3807a 21 מָרִֽים מַר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=bitter.[things]|Ref=NUM_5:24!12|MId=o040050240122|Strong=4751|Type=adjective 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=NUM_5:24!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִשְׁקָה *he will make drink* | weqatal · hiphil | אִשָּׁה *woman* | מֵי *the waters* | | | | מְאָֽרֲרִים *a curse* | participle active · piel | מֵי *the waters* | | | | | בָאוּ *they will go* | weqatal · qal | מַּיִם *waters* | | | | | מְאָרֲרִים *a curse* | participle active · piel | מַּיִם *waters* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
