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 — man, LORD — and what happens in the verse to consecrated head, head, 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. וְכִֽי־יָמ֨וּת מֵ֤ת עָלָיו֙ בְּפֶ֣תַע פִּתְאֹ֔ם וְטִמֵּ֖א רֹ֣אשׁ נִזְר֑וֹ וְגִלַּ֤ח רֹאשׁוֹ֙ בְּי֣וֹם טָהֳרָת֔וֹ בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י יְגַלְּחֶֽנּוּ׃ [And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.229/) ## 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:227 # text = וְכִֽי־יָמ֨וּת מֵ֤ת עָלָיו֙ בְּפֶ֣תַע פִּתְאֹ֔ם וְטִמֵּ֖א רֹ֣אשׁ נִזְר֑וֹ וְגִלַּ֤ח רֹאשׁוֹ֙ בְּי֣וֹם טָהֳרָת֔וֹ בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י יְגַלְּחֶֽנּוּ׃ # verse = NUM.6.9 1-2 וְכִֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:9!1|MId=o040060090011|Strong=2050b 2 כִֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=NUM_6:9!1|MId=o040060090012|Strong=3588 3 יָמ֨וּת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.die|Ref=NUM_6:9!2|MId=o040060090021|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:040060090031;|Type=yiqtol 4 מֵ֤ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=a.dead.[person]|Ref=NUM_6:9!3|MId=o040060090031|Strong=4191|Type=participle_active 5-6 עָלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 עָלָי עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NUM_6:9!4|MId=o040060090041|Strong=5921 6 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=NUM_6:9!4|MId=o040060090042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7-8 בְּפֶ֣תַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=NUM_6:9!5|MId=o040060090051|Strong=0871a 8 פֶ֣תַע פֶּתַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=suddenness|Ref=NUM_6:9!5|MId=o040060090052|Strong=6621 9 פִּתְאֹ֔ם פִּתְאֹם ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=suddenly|Ref=NUM_6:9!6|MId=o040060090061|Strong=6597 10-11 וְטִמֵּ֖א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:9!7|MId=o040060090071|Strong=2050b 11 טִמֵּ֖א טָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.will.make.unclean|Ref=NUM_6:9!7|MId=o040060090072|Strong=2930|Frame=A0:040060090031;A1:040060090081;|Type=weqatal 12 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=the.head|Ref=NUM_6:9!8|MId=o040060090081|Strong=7218 13-14 נִזְר֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 נִזְר נֵזֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.consecration|Ref=NUM_6:9!9|MId=o040060090091|Strong=5145 14 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_6:9!9|MId=o040060090092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-16 וְגִלַּ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=NUM_6:9!10|MId=o040060090101|Strong=2050b 16 גִלַּ֤ח גָּלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.will.shave|Ref=NUM_6:9!10|MId=o040060090102|Strong=1548|Frame=A0:040060020071;040060020091;A1:040060090111;|Type=weqatal 17-18 רֹאשׁוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 רֹאשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=head|Ref=NUM_6:9!11|MId=o040060090111|Strong=7218 18 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_6:9!11|MId=o040060090112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-20 בְּי֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_6:9!12|MId=o040060090121|Strong=0871a 20 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.day|Ref=NUM_6:9!12|MId=o040060090122|Strong=3117 21-22 טָהֳרָת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 טָהֳרָת טׇהֳרָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.purification|Ref=NUM_6:9!13|MId=o040060090131|Strong=2893 22 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=NUM_6:9!13|MId=o040060090132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-25 בַּיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=NUM_6:9!14|MId=o040060090141|Strong=0871a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=NUM_6:9!14|MId=o040060090141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=NUM_6:9!14|MId=o040060090142|Strong=3117 26-27 הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=NUM_6:9!15|MId=o040060090151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 שְּׁבִיעִ֖י שְׁבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nummod _ Gloss=seventh|Ref=NUM_6:9!15|MId=o040060090152|Strong=7637|Type=ordinal_number 28-29 יְגַלְּחֶֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 יְגַלְּח גָּלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=NUM_6:9!16|MId=o040060090161|Strong=1548|Frame=A0:040060020071;040060020091;A1:040060090162;|Type=yiqtol 29 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=will.shave.it|Ref=NUM_6:9!16|MId=o040060090162|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=NUM_6:9!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
