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 — priest, former days — and what happens in the verse to he lamb, consecration, 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. וְהִזִּ֤יר לַֽיהוָה֙ אֶת־יְמֵ֣י נִזְר֔וֹ וְהֵבִ֛יא כֶּ֥בֶשׂ בֶּן־שְׁנָת֖וֹ לְאָשָׁ֑ם וְהַיָּמִ֤ים הָרִאשֹׁנִים֙ יִפְּל֔וּ כִּ֥י טָמֵ֖א נִזְרֽוֹ׃ [And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his Naziriteship, and shall bring a he-lamb of the first year for a guilt-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his consecration was defiled.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.232/) ## 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:230 # text = וְהִזִּ֤יר לַֽיהוָה֙ אֶת־יְמֵ֣י נִזְר֔וֹ וְהֵבִ֛יא כֶּ֥בֶשׂ בֶּן־שְׁנָת֖וֹ לְאָשָׁ֑ם וְהַיָּמִ֤ים הָרִאשֹׁנִים֙ יִפְּל֔וּ כִּ֥י טָמֵ֖א נִזְרֽוֹ׃ # verse = NUM.6.12 1-2 וְהִזִּ֤יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:12!1|MId=o040060120011|Strong=2050b 2 הִזִּ֤יר נָזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.be.a.Nazirite|Ref=NUM_6:12!1|MId=o040060120012|Strong=5144|Frame=AA:040060020071;040060020091;A0:040060120041;|Type=weqatal 3-4 לַֽיהוָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_6:12!2|MId=o040060120021|Strong=3807a 4 יהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=NUM_6:12!2|MId=o040060120022|Strong=3068 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=NUM_6:12!3|MId=o040060120031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6 יְמֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=NUM_6:12!4|MId=o040060120041|Strong=3117 7-8 נִזְר֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 נִזְר נֵזֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.consecration|Ref=NUM_6:12!5|MId=o040060120051|Strong=5145 8 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_6:12!5|MId=o040060120052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְהֵבִ֛יא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:12!6|MId=o040060120061|Strong=2050b 10 הֵבִ֛יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.bring|Ref=NUM_6:12!6|MId=o040060120062|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:040060020071;040060020091;A0:040060120071;|Type=weqatal 11 כֶּ֥בֶשׂ כֶּבֶשׂ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=a.lamb|Ref=NUM_6:12!7|MId=o040060120071|Strong=3532 12 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=NUM_6:12!8|MId=o040060120081|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 שְׁנָת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 שְׁנָת שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=its.year|Ref=NUM_6:12!9|MId=o040060120091|Strong=8141 14 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_6:12!9|MId=o040060120092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 לְאָשָׁ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=NUM_6:12!10|MId=o040060120101|Strong=3807a 16 אָשָׁ֑ם אָשָׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=a.guilt.offering|Ref=NUM_6:12!10|MId=o040060120102|Strong=0817 17-19 וְהַיָּמִ֤ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:12!11|MId=o040060120111|Strong=2050b 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_6:12!11|MId=o040060120112|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 יָּמִ֤ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 nsubj _ Gloss=days|Ref=NUM_6:12!11|MId=o040060120113|Strong=3117 20-21 הָרִאשֹׁנִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_6:12!12|MId=o040060120121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 רִאשֹׁנִים֙ רִאשׁוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 amod _ Gloss=former|Ref=NUM_6:12!12|MId=o040060120122|Strong=7223|Type=adjective 22 יִפְּל֔וּ נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.fall|Ref=NUM_6:12!13|MId=o040060120131|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:040060120113;|Type=yiqtol 23 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_6:12!14|MId=o040060120141|Strong=3588 24 טָמֵ֖א טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=it.has.become.unclean|Ref=NUM_6:12!15|MId=o040060120151|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:040060120161;|Type=qatal 25-26 נִזְרֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 נִזְר נֵזֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=consecration|Ref=NUM_6:12!16|MId=o040060120161|Strong=5145 26 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_6:12!16|MId=o040060120162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=NUM_6:12!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִזִּיר *he will be a Nazirite* | weqatal · hiphil | יְמֵי *the days* | | | | | הֵבִיא *he will bring* | weqatal · hiphil | כֶּבֶשׂ *a lamb* | | | | | יִפְּלוּ *they will fall* | yiqtol · qal | יָּמִים *days* | | | | | טָמֵא *it has become unclean* | qatal · qal | נִזְר *consecration* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
