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 woman, seed, 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. וְאִם־לֹ֤א נִטְמְאָה֙ הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה וּטְהֹרָ֖ה הִ֑וא וְנִקְּתָ֖ה וְנִזְרְעָ֥ה זָֽרַע׃ [And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be cleared, and shall conceive seed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.217/) ## 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:215 # text = וְאִם־לֹ֤א נִטְמְאָה֙ הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה וּטְהֹרָ֖ה הִ֑וא וְנִקְּתָ֖ה וְנִזְרְעָ֥ה זָֽרַע׃ # verse = NUM.5.28 1-2 וְאִם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:28!1|MId=o040050280011|Strong=2050b 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=NUM_5:28!1|MId=o040050280012|Strong=0518 3 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_5:28!2|MId=o040050280021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4 נִטְמְאָה֙ טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 advcl _ Gloss=she.has.made.herself.unclean|Ref=NUM_5:28!3|MId=o040050280031|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:040050280042;|Type=qatal 5-6 הָֽאִשָּׁ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_5:28!4|MId=o040050280041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=NUM_5:28!4|MId=o040050280042|Strong=0802 7-8 וּטְהֹרָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and.[is]|Ref=NUM_5:28!5|MId=o040050280051|Strong=2050b 8 טְהֹרָ֖ה טָהֹר ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=pure|Ref=NUM_5:28!5|MId=o040050280052|Strong=2889|Type=adjective 9 הִ֑וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=she|Ref=NUM_5:28!6|MId=o040050280061|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 10-11 וְנִקְּתָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:28!7|MId=o040050280071|Strong=2050b 11 נִקְּתָ֖ה נָקָה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=she.will.be.free|Ref=NUM_5:28!7|MId=o040050280072|Strong=5352|Frame=A1:040050280042;|Type=weqatal 12-13 וְנִזְרְעָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:28!8|MId=o040050280081|Strong=2050b 13 נִזְרְעָ֥ה זָרַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=she.will.be.impregnated|Ref=NUM_5:28!8|MId=o040050280082|Strong=2232|Frame=A1:040050280091;|Type=weqatal 14 זָֽרַע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=seed|Ref=NUM_5:28!9|MId=o040050280091|Strong=2233|SpaceAfter=No 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=NUM_5:28!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** נִטְמְאָה *she has made herself unclean* | qatal · niphal | אִשָּׁה *woman* | | | | | נִקְּתָה *she will be free* | weqatal · niphal | | אִשָּׁה *woman* | | | | נִזְרְעָה *she will be impregnated* | weqatal · niphal | | זָֽרַע *seed* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
