# Numbers 7:89 בְּמִדְבַּר

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Moses, Voice, ark cover · **What happens:** go, speak, hear, be · **To what, where:** tent, Voice, ark cover · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 7:89 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 — Moses, Voice, ark cover — and what happens in the verse to tent, Voice, ark cover, 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.

[And when Moses went into the tent of meeting that He might speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from above the ark-cover that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and He spoke unto him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/NUM.349/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
