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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to wine, vinegar, liquor, fresh grapes, 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. מִיַּ֤יִן וְשֵׁכָר֙ יַזִּ֔יר חֹ֥מֶץ יַ֛יִן וְחֹ֥מֶץ שֵׁכָ֖ר לֹ֣א יִשְׁתֶּ֑ה וְכָל־מִשְׁרַ֤ת עֲנָבִים֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁתֶּ֔ה וַעֲנָבִ֛ים לַחִ֥ים וִיבֵשִׁ֖ים לֹ֥א יֹאכֵֽל׃ [he shall abstain from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.223/) ## 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:221 # text = מִיַּ֤יִן וְשֵׁכָר֙ יַזִּ֔יר חֹ֥מֶץ יַ֛יִן וְחֹ֥מֶץ שֵׁכָ֖ר לֹ֣א יִשְׁתֶּ֑ה וְכָל־מִשְׁרַ֤ת עֲנָבִים֙ לֹ֣א יִשְׁתֶּ֔ה וַעֲנָבִ֛ים לַחִ֥ים וִיבֵשִׁ֖ים לֹ֥א יֹאכֵֽל׃ # verse = NUM.6.3 1-2 מִיַּ֤יִן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=NUM_6:3!1|MId=o040060030011|Strong=4480 2 יַּ֤יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=wine|Ref=NUM_6:3!1|MId=o040060030012|Strong=3196 3-4 וְשֵׁכָר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:3!2|MId=o040060030021|Strong=2050b 4 שֵׁכָר֙ שֵׁכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=strong.drink|Ref=NUM_6:3!2|MId=o040060030022|Strong=7941 5 יַזִּ֔יר נָזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.keep.separate|Ref=NUM_6:3!3|MId=o040060030031|Strong=5144|Frame=A0:040060020071;040060020091;|Type=yiqtol 6 חֹ֥מֶץ חֹמֶץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=vinegar|Ref=NUM_6:3!4|MId=o040060030041|Strong=2558 7 יַ֛יִן יַיִן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.wine|Ref=NUM_6:3!5|MId=o040060030051|Strong=3196 8-9 וְחֹ֥מֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:3!6|MId=o040060030061|Strong=2050b 9 חֹ֥מֶץ חֹמֶץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=vinegar|Ref=NUM_6:3!6|MId=o040060030062|Strong=2558 10 שֵׁכָ֖ר שֵׁכָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.strong.drink|Ref=NUM_6:3!7|MId=o040060030071|Strong=7941 11 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_6:3!8|MId=o040060030081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 12 יִשְׁתֶּ֑ה שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.drink|Ref=NUM_6:3!9|MId=o040060030091|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:040060020071;040060020091;A1:040060030041;040060030062;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 וְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:3!10|MId=o040060030101|Strong=2050b 14 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=any|Ref=NUM_6:3!10|MId=o040060030102|Strong=3605 15 מִשְׁרַ֤ת מִשְׁרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=juice|Ref=NUM_6:3!11|MId=o040060030111|Strong=4952 16 עֲנָבִים֙ עֵנָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.grapes|Ref=NUM_6:3!12|MId=o040060030121|Strong=6025 17 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_6:3!13|MId=o040060030131|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18 יִשְׁתֶּ֔ה שָׁתָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.will.drink|Ref=NUM_6:3!14|MId=o040060030141|Strong=8354|Frame=A0:040060020071;040060020091;A1:040060030111;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 וַעֲנָבִ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:3!15|MId=o040060030151|Strong=2050b 20 עֲנָבִ֛ים עֵנָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=grapes|Ref=NUM_6:3!15|MId=o040060030152|Strong=6025 21 לַחִ֥ים לַח ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 amod _ Gloss=fresh|Ref=NUM_6:3!16|MId=o040060030161|Strong=3892|Type=adjective 22-23 וִיבֵשִׁ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:3!17|MId=o040060030171|Strong=2050b 23 יבֵשִׁ֖ים יָבֵשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 amod _ Gloss=dry|Ref=NUM_6:3!17|MId=o040060030172|Strong=3002|Type=adjective 24 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=NUM_6:3!18|MId=o040060030181|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25 יֹאכֵֽל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.will.eat|Ref=NUM_6:3!19|MId=o040060030191|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:040060020071;040060020091;A1:040060030152;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=NUM_6:3!19 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַזִּיר *he will keep separate* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | **not** יִשְׁתֶּה *he will drink* | yiqtol · qal | | חֹמֶץ *vinegar* + חֹמֶץ *vinegar* | | | | **not** יִשְׁתֶּה *he will drink* | yiqtol · qal | | מִשְׁרַת *juice* | | | | **not** יֹאכֵֽל *he will eat* | yiqtol · qal | | עֲנָבִים *grapes* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
