Numbers 5:6 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.5.6/) [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/) / 5:6 # Numbers 5:6 בְּמִדְבַּר **Who acts:** you, man, men, soul · **What happens:** speak, commit, be · **To what, where:** sin, trespass · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Numbers 5:6 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 — you, man, men, soul — and what happens in the verse to sin, trespass, 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. דַּבֵּר֮ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ אִ֣ישׁ אֽוֹ־אִשָּׁ֗ה כִּ֤י יַעֲשׂוּ֙ מִכָּל־חַטֹּ֣את הָֽאָדָ֔ם לִמְעֹ֥ל מַ֖עַל בַּיהוָ֑ה וְאָֽשְׁמָ֖ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִֽוא׃ [Speak unto the children of Israel: When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to commit a trespass against the LORD, and that soul be guilty;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.195/) ## 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:193 # text = דַּבֵּר֮ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ אִ֣ישׁ אֽוֹ־אִשָּׁ֗ה כִּ֤י יַעֲשׂוּ֙ מִכָּל־חַטֹּ֣את הָֽאָדָ֔ם לִמְעֹ֥ל מַ֖עַל בַּיהוָ֑ה וְאָֽשְׁמָ֖ה הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ הַהִֽוא׃ # verse = NUM.5.6 1 דַּבֵּר֮ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=speak|Ref=NUM_5:6!1|MId=o040050060011|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:040050050041;|Type=imperative 2 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_5:6!2|MId=o040050060021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 3 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 obl _ Gloss=the.people|Ref=NUM_5:6!3|MId=o040050060031|Strong=1121 4 יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=NUM_5:6!4|MId=o040050060041|Strong=3478 5 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 dislocated _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=NUM_5:6!5|MId=o040050060051|Strong=0376 6 אֽוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=NUM_5:6!6|MId=o040050060061|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 7 אִשָּׁ֗ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=a.woman|Ref=NUM_5:6!7|MId=o040050060071|Strong=0802 8 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_5:6!8|MId=o040050060081|Strong=3588 9 יַעֲשׂוּ֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 21 advcl _ Gloss=they.will.do|Ref=NUM_5:6!9|MId=o040050060091|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:040050060051;040050060071;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=any|Ref=NUM_5:6!10|MId=o040050060101|Strong=4480 11 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=NUM_5:6!10|MId=o040050060102|Strong=3605 12 חַטֹּ֣את חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.sins|Ref=NUM_5:6!11|MId=o040050060111|Strong=2403 13-14 הָֽאָדָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=NUM_5:6!12|MId=o040050060121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=NUM_5:6!12|MId=o040050060122|Strong=0120 15-16 לִמְעֹ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=NUM_5:6!13|MId=o040050060131|Strong=3807a 16 מְעֹ֥ל מָעַל VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 advcl _ Gloss=acting.unfaithfully|Ref=NUM_5:6!13|MId=o040050060132|Strong=4603|Frame=A0:040050060051;040050060071;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 מַ֖עַל מַעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=unfaithfulness|Ref=NUM_5:6!14|MId=o040050060141|Strong=4604 18-19 בַּיהוָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=NUM_5:6!15|MId=o040050060151|Strong=0871a 19 יהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_5:6!15|MId=o040050060152|Strong=3068 20-21 וְאָֽשְׁמָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_5:6!16|MId=o040050060161|Strong=2050b 21 אָֽשְׁמָ֖ה אָשַׁם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 ccomp _ Gloss=it.will.be.guilty|Ref=NUM_5:6!16|MId=o040050060162|Strong=0816|Frame=A0:040050060172;|Type=qatal 22-23 הַנֶּ֥פֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_5:6!17|MId=o040050060171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 נֶּ֥פֶשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=person|Ref=NUM_5:6!17|MId=o040050060172|Strong=5315 24-25 הַהִֽוא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_5:6!18|MId=o040050060181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 הִֽוא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=NUM_5:6!18|MId=o040050060182|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_5:6!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דַּבֵּר *speak* | imperative · piel | | | | | | יַעֲשׂוּ *they will do* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *a man* + אִשָּׁה *a woman* | | | | | מְעֹל *acting unfaithfully* | infinitive construct · qal | אִישׁ *a man* + אִשָּׁה *a woman* | | | | | אָֽשְׁמָה *it will be guilty* | qatal · qal | נֶּפֶשׁ *person* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
